Pizza is okay, I can compare it to PaPa Murphy's & Dominoes pizza's. It's a little on the spending scale, but if you're out in the middle of nowhere, their pizza tastes great! It does taste good. read more

After hearing about this drive in for many years, we finally drove by when it was open! We were so excited to try it, it didnt matter that we weren't particularly hungry. However, upon entering, we quickly realized why everyone raves about it! The deluxe hamburgers were perfect and the unusually large, fresh, sweet tomato slice caught me by complete surprise. In fact, I opened my burger to gawk. The restaurant was spotless although very busy. Not a single smudge on any table. The workers were spotlessly clean, pleasant and well disciplined. Even though the line was growing for orders, I had my heart set on ice cream so made my husband stand in line while I used the restroom; a spotlessly clean bathroom outside the front of the drive in which required a combination to enter. Probably the biggest surprise when I used this spotlessly clean restroom was the Apothecary soap in a dispenser. (Also spotlessly clean) To say we were impressed is an understatement. I suspect we will continue to stop every time we drive by, whether we are hungry or not! 5 star drive in and we are so grateful we got to try it! read more

Cheeseburgers and milkshakes are amazing. The staff were wonderful. So glad they are back open.

if I could give this place zero stars I would. me and my family were waiting for an hour for 3 burgers. the people who ordered after me got there food before me.There also was a fucking bug right by my booth. Also 26$ for 3 burgers if pathetic. I could've bought steaks with that money but instead I'm waiting and hour for a pitiful shitty ass burger. Go out of business again for all I care. read more

Stopped in for my first time recently, after passing it many times on the way to the lake. My family name is Clayton, so I wanted it to be good. It's a classic diner feel, with made to order burgers and shakes. I had the Clayton burger and managed to finish it, minus some of the bottom bun which had fallen apart a bit. I actually liked the split, grilled hotdog. It was different, and with the thin patty and surprisingly thick bacon, it worked. The shoestring fries were plain, but crispy and that's what matters. The jalapeño cheese rounds were pretty good and I'd order those again over the fries. My biggest suggestion is that if you like ketchup on your burger, get it on the side and put it on the top bun yourself. The bottom bun just doesn't hold up well with it. Staff was very friendly to some difficult customers after us, not skipping a beat or losing their smiles. Kudos! read more

Out of all the fast food in the Deer Park area, Clayton Burger is the one you want to go to! I've gone here for years and it's never let me down. Awesome food, shakes, ice cream... I like the old school dine in feel and I always enjoy her corner with all the seasonal decorations. read more

Good drive in food! Pleasant staff! Greasy food that wasn't greasy! Nice atmosphere including local history! Good place to stop and ice cream too! read more

My wife and I ate here last week for the first time. This place has the look and feel of a classic old-style burger joint; it was very clean inside and the staff friendly. We both had a bacon cheeseburger, adding lettuce and tomato to the regular spread, a side of onion rings, a chocolate malt and glass of water. My wife really enjoyed her burger because it had lots of catchup on it, I thought there was way too much, and it was only ok. The onion rings were standard, the tartar sauce was homemade, but had too much mayo, only ok. The chocolate malt had a nice malty flavor and smooth consistency, but very little chocolate; what's that about! I just have an issue having to pay for a glass of water!!! read more

Decent road pit stop for burgers and sides. Burgers are good, not great, but overpriced for the feel of the joint. This is the case with the fries and drinks too. However I think that could have passed had it not taken so long for the food to be ready, it took ages and it was "average" busy. A couple notes: don't order a malt. They just charge extra and give you a shake. No malt flavor at all. Fries 4.99 for a large was a joke. It was about the size of a fast food medium for double the price. Overall, I would say they need to knock off the prices for the end product. However, I think they have realized they are the only spot within a few miles and have a good curb appeal. read more

I love the food here it was so good and The customer service was excellent I never felt more welcome

Came here for the world famous clayton burger as advertised on their billboard. I've been passing through on the way to the lake for years and have always wanted to try said Burger. Inside it was very clean, quaint, quiet and small. I looked upon the description for the Clayton Burger (World Famous). I was intimidated- two burger patties, cheese, bacon and a hot dog. As badly as I wanted to try it something about that hot dog made me wimp out. 1 double bacon cheeseburger and fries later my experience was over. The Burger are slightly overpriced, especially If you're driving from out of town. They are good but fairly basic, made to order. The service is great. I really enjoyed the fries although thier tartar was too heavy on the mayo. read more

We went to Eastern Washington and was told about this restaurant. The complaint I had was they had no signage about wearing a mask. The people serving the food weren't wearing masks, and we were the only customers wearing masks. There wasn't even a sign to distance 6ft. If I knew how to file a complaint I would! The hamburger was good, the famous Clayton Burger according to my husband was good too! read more

If you head north on Division (Highway 395) You can pass Wandermere And continue to drive. As your road trip continues, I suggest humbly, there may come a time when your stomach feels grumbly. North of Spokane And south of Chewelah Stop at Clayton's Drive In - They'll be happy to see ya. The burgers are tasty, Fresh and delicious. The fries and onion rings Complement any dishes. The shakes are very good, But my only complaint Is the size of the drinks, Generous, they ain't. But if you're out in the country With an empty tummy, Remember, Clayton's food gets Four stars from me. read more

My wife and I were out and about today and happened to be close to this drive in. I had a double cheeseburger and it was just average. Nothing to write home about. My wife had a single cheeseburger and she said the same of hers. This is one of those places you should stop at when you hunger is at level that you must stop for something. Otherwise head on to Spokane and get some better food. read more

Clayton Drive In - Burgers Near Me - Clayton, Washington

Incompetent servers Dont waste your time. Go to Zip's in Deer Park. Igave one star , because the fish basket was ok, service -lousy. The girl took the order but no money. After15 minutes she came to my table and said to me, "I was suppose to collect the money, come to the register please.. I went to the register. It was $10.75. I gave her $21.00,and told her,"it is 10.75 change!" She stumbled over $1s&$5,& quarters, struggling to count change. I had to walk her through it. The Customer! Then, I find out the order Had Not been turned in & had to wait another 15 min. During which time, another incompetent employee wondered around looking for someone to serve the food to. Another made a lop-sided ice cream cone, (soft), and nearly dropped it on the way to the customer. When I finally got my 'fish basket-fish & fries," do you think the server asked if I wanted sauces? NO! I forgot to ask, because i just wanted to get the hell out of there!! No sauces, no napkins, just the basket!! Dont waste your time with these incompetent idiots. Not to mention, the manager, who obviously didnt train them. Thst makes her /him worthless too! Go to Zip's, McDonald's, Taco Bell, & even the Chevron station, in Deer Park, for great Customer Service & FOOD! read more

So at work people have suggested I try this place out if I'm the type that likes small town Drive inns? I'm a sucker for small town old school drive inns. I feels that places like Clayton Drive Inn are the back bone of small towns like this. They offer grilled hamburgers and salty savory tater tots and fries, Hand dip ice cream, shakes, soft serve ice cream, pretzels, corn dogs, and espresso, the list goes on. This place is this towns Dairy Queen and or McDonalds. Their not a replacement for those places, this place is the "Go to" place. And I totally respect that and so should you. This place is very clean and the service is outstanding because they bring your food to you with a smile. I'm sitting in the front of the 70's period correct decor when some local kids come riding their bikes to get their soft serve chocolate-vanilla ice cream cones and they order a large fries which between the three of them share. I remember those days and they still are happening here. How great is that? They have a gas cast iron fire place in one corner and in the other corner a Halloween display of what seems items they have accumulated since the 70's and I love it! As I sip on my iced cold Diet Pepsi and finish my Cheeseburger deluxe with tater tots, I'm hearing Bobby Vinton singing about Venus. Darn! Those fries smell Good? I'm also watching these kids eating that ice cream and it's heading for the middle of their forearms and elbows, and I'm now considering getting ice cream or perhaps a hand dipped shake? At places like this you don't need to settle for Nastalgia you can live it! Is it the best burger and best fries? I'm sure it is if your here at Clayton's Burger like me and your enjoying the Halloween display and your reading the shared copy of the Tribune, which is the best copy I've ever read here at Clayton's. This place is worth the stop when your driving by or planning to drive by. And by the way try the Clayton Burger with Fries. You won't be disappointed, I'm not. Now to more important things, I'm getting a Cherry chocolate shake to go! read more

Family tradition to get the Clayton burger. Definitely some good memories of the years going to the lake

I'm sorry to give them such a bad review because truthfully their milkshakes are awesome. The problem is with their food, every time we've stopped and ate, by the time we got our food it was cold and it was awful. You could literally stand at the door of a food service truck and make your order from there. Nothing is fresh, nothing is original, nor is it tasty. Save your money and buy it at Costco and cook the same thing at home if you want food service. The people that served us were friendly, they were just teenagers who did not seem to care if we had cold food, or good food. read more

I had heard about this place a few times by friends saying how "good" it was. The Clayton burger junior was over priced for the mess that you receive. The bottom bun is soggy by the time you receive your food. It's not worth the mess and frustration, especially for the outrageous price. We also ordered onion rings and fried mushrooms. Not bad, just no flavor with either of them. Had to ask for more than one thing of ranch for two people, after we both had requested it. Like others have said, its teenagers who are working. Don't expect to much from this place and you won't be disappointed. read more

Best cheeseburger of all time! This is what McDonald's cheeseburgers strive too taste like! We love this place and live about 3 hours away, so every time we pass through we make a point to stop for a milkshake and a straight-up old-school cheeseburger. Vintage American drive in at its best!!! read more

My friend asked how long it would take to get his food and the lady at the counter replied, "I don't know but if you're in a hurry, this isn't the place to be". This statement has never been truer. This is definitely not a fast food place despite it being a "drive-in". Food took at least 20-30 minutes since we ordered a Clayton burger. And it was alright... Not anything to write home about. Not a big fan of a hot dog sliced in half and shoved in my burger which already has two patties. It was also pretty dry and not that flavorful, unless salt is a flavor. We got tater tots which was pretty standard, except the tartar sauce wasn't very tartar-y. Of two malts shakes we got, neither were very malty either. Sorry, don't think we will come back! read more

This is one of those small town places that does a little of everything, but none of them good. The double burger I had was so overcooked and dry you couldn't have squeezed any juice out with a vice. The wifes food was about the same. I will say the people are nice and the place is spotless inside. If you are really hungry though skip this place and continue North or South. It seems some people on here rave about the ice cream, didn't have any so I can't comment on that. read more

Worth checking out, I stopped in with my co worker, and again a few days later with my wife. I tried to get my wife to try the Clayton burger but she opted for a regular bacon cheese burger and a malt. The malt was really good, the burger was ok- thin patties and thin bacon. I liked the chicken tenders that I ordered and the fries were good! If I am passing by and want some fast food this is a pretty good option. Pricing is average, quality is ok. read more

Only been there two times (last time was 5 years ago). Both times the food was great. Great fries, great Clayton burger (had the big one 5 years ago, ordered the Jr this time. Yum!) Also had a chocolate shake. It was perfect. Also in our order were several other burgers, cheeseburgers, chili-cheese fries, & a corn dog. Everyone was very happy with their food. No complaints. Yes, they are a bit pricey but it's not like you can find any other fast food place off the 395 hwy between Loon Lake and Deer Park. Clayton Drive-In (it's an "eat-in" as well), is very good and worth the stop if you're out that way. read more

This is your standard old school ice cream, burger spot. It has the "Famous" Clayton burger which is a burger with two meat patties, two strips of bacon, 2 slices of cheese, and a hot dog on it. It's not bad, but the hot dog that they use is rather salty. The best part about this place is the soft serve ice cream and the Milkshakes. read more

Overpriced Crap. The " World Famous Clayton Burger" consists of two frozen patties, a cheap hotdog, bacon and cheese on a bun for around $8. I'm so frustrated I decided to try this place instead of continuing on to Spokane for Five Guys. Mc Donald's is better than this place. Oh, and the men's bathroom was DISGUSTINGLY DIRTY! So bad my husband did not even want to take our son. Over $50 for 4 burgers, 2 mini corn dog meals, fries and sodas. Don't waste your money- We won't be back. read more

I've helped and eaten at this place,first as a kid when my parents took me to the little old Drive in across the street,to as a teenager going up to hangout and help my buddy that worked there and now many years as an adult customer. The original owners Don and Lorraine Ball were great people and many parents will tell you they were glad for the good start the Balls,gave them thu the Drive Inn. The food was top notch as was the service. The "new" owners Randy and Taffy Long met while Taffy worked at the Drive Inn with I believe Randy's sisters. As a customer now I can assure you that Taffy serves the best and insists on great service. When I want a burger I want a ClaytonBurger,onion rings and a real chocolate shake. read more

They have the best ice cream and milkshakes! This place is a fun spot to stop in if you're headed north of Spokane.

It seems that a lot of the other reviewers were hoping for something more than what a drive-in offers. The food is decent and reasonably priced. The real reason to go is the soft serve ice cream. Specifically the huckleberry soft serve that they have seasonally. It's well worth the trip! read more

Been going to this place nearly my whole life, and it's a great little joint. Cozy atmosphere with good, standard food and delicious shakes.

I had to give it one start why because of the shit service. It was close to when they closed. After a day of doctors and chemotherapy all my daughter wanted was a milkshake. The girl that was at the counter replied is this going to take long. If my daughter wasn't wanting a milkshake from now this shithole I would have walked out. The service has gone to shit what happened when they were actually good to stop in and have something. read more

One of my favorite places to eat. Friendly waitresses, great food and the best chai tea!

Whenever I'm in the area I really like stopping here. I have never tried the famous 'Clayton Burger,' but I really enjoy their french fries and a vanilla milkshake. I have tried the basic cheeseburger and didn't have any complaints about it. It was just a good basic cheeseburger. My grandmother tried the Salmon Burger and was happy with it. I loved the small drive up coffee shack that was out front, but sadly it is gone now. read more

Regular hamburger was less than average ... don't think we will return even though we spend 2 months in Deer Park every summer

This place is SO getto...we stopped by to get some ice cream to go and this lady FREAKED out on us because we had our our lttle puppy in our arms. IT was just too hot to leave her in the car. We were not even planning on staying and she was just a total "trailer trash" person in charge having some random power trip. We will never be back and will not hesitate to share this experence with everyone we know. read more

If you pull into their drive-through which it is open and they come to the window they refused to take your food order and criticize you because they only do coffee at the window.
