To keep it abuck, I was nervous about this place as after we ordered I saw the ratings and some reviews about the food--definitely was nerve wracking. Once we got our burgers, my homeboy got a grass fed beef burger, I got the jake's burger. Both burgers were freaking phenomenal, it's like a premium five guy's burger but you don't feel as fat. We stopped here on the way to our hike and we are so happy about it. Super kind guy, soft spoken, can't say anymore about it, if we ever on the way up again we are definitely pulling up again. Don't listen to those bad reviews, come eat here! read more

C & L Burger Bar - Grass fed beef burger - Burgers Near Me - Castle Rock, Washington

food was gross milkshake was spoiled. chicken strips were almost burnt on the outside but batter on the inside wasn't Pop was warm. Place was dirty. Never eat there again read more

A worthwhile decent investment. The owner/cook is a sweet, kind man that is very soft spoken but makes a mean meal. The price for the interaction, ambiance seems overlooked in other reviews solely focused on the price of food. Great restaurants serve simple meals, but offer an experience that touches your soul. Your sole purpose to going out to eat may be to find a good portion that has a vast variety. Sometimes simple nutrient rich dishes like the Bacon, Mushroom, Avocado, Bbq Cheese Burger with in house made fresh lightly breaded onion rings, it was delightful! My wife and 10 year old daughter loved their simple meals. We remind ourselves often when we visit establishments owned and ran by one individual, they're pouring their heart and soul into this. He's been running this place for 10 years. God Bless him. This is a picture of something he shares on the wall. read more

This place is wild. We stopped in on our way home to grab a quick bite to eat, and the inside is super run down. My husband grew up in castle rock and he couldn't believe how terrible it looked inside. The guy taking our order was very nice and quick to help us. The menu is pretty expansive and they've got some different kinds of meat burgers that you wouldn't find other places. We got two elk burgers, one soda, two small fries, and one shake. That all came out to $50! It truly doesn't add up when you look at the menu. I wish we had looked at other reviews before coming here, but my husband was feeling nostalgic. We were the only customers in there so our food was quick and hot. The food was good but we definitely won't be back. You can get the same price at Amaros table across the street and the food is better. read more

Stopped in for lunch on the way down to Portland. My wife noticed the drive through sign was missing. The burger wasn't bad although the price for burgers were definitely more than I thought they would be. For a mom and pop burger shop I had feeling it would be $70-80 instead it was $114. I like Castle Rock as its the last stop before heading up St Helens. I do not think I could see myself coming back. Signage inside needs help, bathroom felt dirty, my son kept asking where there food eating was. Food was aright nothing to rave about. Recommend trying a different place. read more

Spoiled milk shake mix.. tried calling as was headed north on freeway and their phone number does not work had to give one star to post.

My son and I ate here 5/11/26 Not only both of us got really sick It was too expensive Half way through the meal we stopped eating it The food tasted like it been frozen for years Everything tasted old 45.00 for two people and food was crap. My son was sick for two days Stay clear of this place read more

It was 54 dollars for a single patty bacon burger, one chicken sandwich, medium fries, onion rings, and 2 milkshakes. I got cucumbers on the burgers instead of pickles. And our milkshakes had a strong smell, and aftertaste of gasoline. read more

The good is delicious. Only a couple tables to for dinner in. Prices good for selections. I will be back.

The chinese owner is a scamming POS. We paid over $53 for 3 chicken "strip" baskets and 3 sodas. They were NUGGETS that were nasty and mystery meat we couldnt swallow. Sodas were flat and tasted old, dead flies all over the window sills, owner hid from my wife when she confronted him on scamming us and we ate a few fries and left to drive another 30min away to a real restaurant. We shouldve read reviews first but my wife was attracted to the various meats offered but i doubt any of it is what its advertised to be. Our "Chicken" wasnt chicken. It was weird, hard, and seemed like it was foreign made possibly from China because it was like nothing ive ever eaten before and ive had every brand available with sysco, fast food,etc for chicken strips and nuggets. read more

They don't work their drive-through. I sat there for two minutes at least with zero service . No maintenance is done to anything yet they charge extremely high prices (yes some prices are average) for poor service. The food and shakes are good enough but Burger King is quicker and cleaner. read more

C & L Burger Bar - Worn out and weathered menu - Burgers Near Me - Castle Rock, Washington

THIS PLACE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN!!! They blatantly steal from you them play the I don't speak english when you call them on their thievery. They charged me $30 for a burger and mushrooms. When I got my order it had all fries and literally 4 mushrooms on top. He kept shrugging his shoulders when I called him on it. As I left I glanced back in the kitchen and immediately felt sick!! The garage can was up on the counter a foot away from the grill and the meat was sitting out and looked raw. STAY AWAY!!!!!!! The health department needs to shut this place down now. read more

The mtn dew was basically club soda, the Pepsi was disgusting and didn't taste like Pepsi at all, the burger was slightly good, the pickles were cucumbers, the bacon was hard and gross and didn't taste like bacon, the service was slow, the outlets were covered in like fire or mold, there were flys everywhere, the bathroom was under repair, the menu was a paper with light over it. (and i'll put photos under this) read more

C & L has always been one of my husband and I's favorite places to stop whenever we drive to Oregon. My "go to" is the Deluxe Cheeseburger and my husband loves the Pastrami Burger and every time they are delicious! The fries are crinkle cut, which is our favorite and they are always perfectly crispy & flavorful, (I never need to add salt). The owner is always friendly & appreciative of our business. C & L may not be a flashy burger bar but it's delicious! PS - I took away 1 star for ambiance, it would be easy to spruce up the decor a bit. Otherwise it would have been a 5. read more

The food was amazing, bacon cheese burgers were nice and juicy, the man running the restaurant was super nice and checked on us multiple times making sure our food was good, and it was nice and quiet. read more

My first review on yelp, but I've done a few on Google. I rarely go out of my way to provide feedback on food establishments, and understand that it's probably a tough business to be in...however, I felt so cheated yesterday on the quality and amount of food for the price that I feel I must help others in their food choice decision making. I almost walked in but saw a sign stating that the drive-thru was open, so I took that option. Fortunately, even though the drive-through call window was not working I was quickly summoned up in person by the employee. So I ordered from the pick up window and waited 5 to 10 minutes for my order. The wait didn't bother me too much but I ordered the chicken fingers platter and the small coffee. I was disappointed by the $19.95 cost but really felt cheated when I received my order. The chicken fingers were NOT chicken fingers, but processed chicken nuggets. There were about 6-7 nuggets and a small helping of fries. With the small side of tartar sauce it may have cost $2.00 for the food. If the entire order had cost me less than $8-10, I would have been so disappointed. read more

Haven't reviewed much but had to, this place use to be so good.I ordered a patty Melt thinking like everybody else's patty melt it would be grilled onions on a patty with the nice grilled bread. It had very few onions had tomatoes and pickles. I left drive through and pulled over as I went to eat it fell apart in my hands. French fries were OK. I'll never go there again. Drive through window area is very dingy and dirty. Definitely not the place I remember. read more

C & L Burger Bar - Patty Melt - Burgers Near Me - Castle Rock, Washington

Stopped in for some lunch today. I ordered the chicken strips and fries. On the menu $11.99. Total.... With a drink almost $20. Once the food came what I got was not chicken strips. It was like frozen Dino nuggets and less than a small handful of fries. I would have gotten more across the street in a McDonald's happy meal. The place was dirty as well. Definitely won't go again. read more

Worst burger I've ever had. Stiff asf. Gave me 8 tater tots. $23 later. Would not recommend read more

I would go zero stars if I could! The food was horrible! The price INSANE!! I confronted him she he hid behind his counter and he refused to even acknowledge me. Service? FREAKING TERRIBLE!! Anbiance was dark, dirty, and def lacking DO NOT SUPPORT THIS PLACE!!! IT NEEDS SHUT DOWN. The chicken strips are nuggets not strips, you'll pay $1.49 for a very small account of bbq sauce. I'd rather eat from a dumpster than go back here. read more

We ended up paying $51 for an elk burger, fries, a chicken strip basket, and a banana shake. The elk burger was underwhelming and came with probably 15 fries, and we received probably the worst $12 chicken strip basket we have ever gotten. The "chicken strips" were obviously cheap, bulk Tyson-style chicken nuggets which would have probably cost $12 for a massive bag, the fries were frozen krinkle fries like you'd get at Costco, and it came with a piece of toast. I don't think we have ever felt so ripped off by a $50 meal. read more

Worst place ever! Can't even eat the fries. Not a speck of salt on them, half filled. Halibut was a fish stick and price at window was twice as much as on menu. Not even a napkin was given. these people shouldn't be in business. read more

If there is an option to select 0 star, this place deserves that. Very disappointed to run into a locally run business which is so irresponsible with what they serve customer. Chicken strips ordered for our kids was undercooked. We were very lucky to find it and hence avoided a serious issue. To add on French fries were not good , Angus beef burgers were priced $10-12 and they added price for cheese extra. Burger came with a small thin patty which was very dry with cold slaw and huge bun which was cold at the bottom. We just trashed all the food and despite complaining no money was refunded. The person at the counter offered replacements but seeing what we got it's definitely not worth taking risk again. Please avoid this place. It's a rip off and not worth to put your health at risk. read more

The food was wonderful, however, the service was not so great. An employee by the name of kaylee was disrespectful. She had an attitude and reeked of weed. read more

MUST AVOID PLACE. We had really bad and super disappointing experience last week. we order Chicken Strips for my kid and its came uncooked inside, luckily we noticed. Also we ordered Angus burger for me and my wife and it was cold in the bottom. We informed the guy over there and his response was also like ` OK i can get you another one`. This place is pricy for the quality and quantity. Burger patty is really thin. read more

Terrible burgers. Pictures on the window outside are very misleading. SOOO expensive for poor quality meat. I asked the cook/owner for a copy of the receipt cause I was confused how it was soo much and he said I couldn't have one?? 30 dollars for a cheeseburger tater tots and a medium fountain drink. Food was trash. Location is disgusting. Prices are misleading. Don't go here. read more

Unassuming little burger joint. Inside could use a bit of updating but other than that the burgers were great! My husband had the steak burger and my kids had cheeseburgers and I the chicken sandwich. Husband inhaled his burger as did my kids! Chicken was a bit dry but overall good. Tater tots and fries were extra crispy (how we like them) but needed a little more seasoning. The gentleman who took our order was very thorough and patient and our food was cooked fresh! read more

Food was very overpriced. Fish was billed as halibut but was definitely cod and extremely small pieces. Inside was dank. Not at all the burger bar I remember from years past. read more

The sole employee here was not wearing a mask when I walked in, and didn't bother to put one on when he rose to take my order or while preparing food. I should have walked right back out, but I was hungry and wanted to try out this small local restaurant rather than go to one of the nearby fast food chains. The 3 piece fish & chips meal I ordered wasn't terrible, but it certainly wasn't worth the $17 I paid for it. With a milkshake and tax, the total came to $26.20-- for one person! Next time, I'll go to the fast food chain next door :-/ read more

C & L Burger Bar - $17 for a 3 piece fish & chips. Meh. - Burgers Near Me - Castle Rock, Washington

$20 for 2 shakes is absolutely ridiculous. He was aware that his card machine was not working so he made sure that we had cash to pay for the over priced shakes. There were flies everywhere. He had a hard time understanding what we ordered (1 raspberry shake and 1 banana shake) and he started to get impatient and snippy. read more

Sadly, I agree with all of the 1- and 2-star reviews. It is a shame that these nice folks are trying hard to make a living, but their pricing model is totally wrong. My wife had a burger and fries, and I had a chicken salad...$38.00!! The food was good, but there were crazy "upgrades" and additional charges for cheese and salad dressing, and $3.00 for a small bottle of WinCo water! Hopefully, they will make changes after all of these reviews, and attract and retain good customers. read more

Where do I begin. In my 22 years of dining, I have never felt compelled to post a yelp review, yet here I am. This was some of the most inedible looking food I have seen. As shown in figure 1, the chicken strips were the cheapest looking meat I've ever seen. The bacon, detailed in figure 2 appeared to be "beggin' strips", the dog treats. The fries however, seemed fine, one of the members in my party ate one before we left. Aside from the quality, the prices were absurd. $60 for two burgers with fries and a chicken strip basket. We felt robbed. My group didn't eat any of the food we ordered. We simply chalked it up to a loss and moved on with our day. This meal isn't something I would wish on my worst enemy. Heed this review as a warning. read more

Here's my receipt from C&L. Look at the added charges. $.99 from each condiment! 2 burgers and 1 fry. $44.45?!? I said NO WAY. I went to the Pizza place next door. They charged me $.50 for a pizza box without disclosing the added fee. These people can run their businesses however they like, but not disclosing fees is completely wrong. read more

Remember the burger your 5th grade lunch lady cooked on sheet pans with melted plastic cheese on top. I would have given that burger more stars than this one. Everything in this restaurant is the cheapest possible ingredients. Place is filthy I wish I could just vomit this burger up. My body deserves SI much more 2 cheeseburgers, 1 fry and 2 small Pepsis $39.00 read more

This place isn't what it used to be, which was good. Very low quality. Very expensive ($18.53 for burger equivalent of Dick's Deluxe + large fries), minimal toppings even though you pay $1.99 extra. "Bacon", on bacon cheeseburger is not real bacon! I asked the owner/cook and was told it was real bacon, to which I countered: "this isn't real bacon." And then he stated that they only use turkey bacon. It tasted like burned plastic. Very disappointing lunch. Won't ever stop here again. read more

We were out exploring on a weekend and decided to be adventurous and try something new. It's a small mom and pops style diner burger place. Posatives: Right off the freeway and easy to get in and out. Friendly service Decent food Some unique food items offered: i.e. elk, deer, and other types of bugers. Negatives: Very small; only 3 booths, a small table and an. eating bar. A bit run down and dirty. A bit pricey for what you get. Conclusion: The food itself was good and not in any way disappointing, hoever, I wouldn't go out of my way for a repeat vist. read more

Pricing issues as mentioned before. 2 burgers, fries, and a shake: $48. "Because customer chooses cheddar instead of American cheese"(selected after he offered. ) Ok. Make it two burgers, and a fry, no shake, no water, regular cheese? $36 we are told. Burgers are $11.99 on menu, so a regular fry and tax must be $12. Cancelled the order and went elsewhere. read more

Rip off!! Call the health department!! This place is a joke! $65 for two cheeseburgers, kids grilled cheese, two tater tots and fries. The fries and tots are burnt and taste like years of using the same cooking oil. My husband ordered the "special" grilled cheese burger. It was missing the price, but hey it's the special. This cost $21! Save your money and self from this waste! The place was dirty from a left over COVID excuse of keeping their lobby closed. I gave this 1 star, since it's required just to post. read more
