Very underrated! I walked in expecting typical diner food, but WOW I was not disappointed! Burger was big, juicy, and the fries were insanely good. Whatever they fry their fries and tots in is delicious! The fries were soft on the insane and a little crunchy on the outside. Some of the best fries I've had. Jalapeño burger had grilled jalapeños which were delicious. I LOVE spicy and this wasn't spicy at all. But my husband had one bite and almost died-haha. So take what you will from that. 10/10 I would recommend coming here after a day on the mountain. Ps-the Cosmic Crisp cider was DELICIOUS! Comes in a can. read more

Burger was good. Patty and bread were decent. Wish the mushroom and the onions were more cooked. The tots were amazing (crunchy and not greasy at all). We went to Mt Rainier but couldn't get in since we didn't have a reservation so we decided to drive to Packwood for lunch. This is a cute little restaurant with fun decors. Nice stop for taking a rest. read more

I'm so glad this place has survived Covid! I dont travel through the area very often and sometimes it feels like their hours are not matching when I do come through. They were open this time! Just for a regular cheese burger. They are still big burgers. Very tasty, and the fries were awesome. The lady behind the counter was super nice! And friendly. And helpful. And the restaurant was clean, comfortable and a perfect place to rest from a drive across the state. I will continue to recommend. read more

Ordered burgers to go and it wasn't longer than 5 min to get the food! Seemed like there were plenty of seats to choose from though. Burgers were perfect, minus removing a little bit of lettuce as there was a lot. Comes with lots of fries too which was cool. read more

Cliff Droppers - Sunny day and a good burger! - Burgers Near Me - Packwood, Washington

We were in town for a family weekend get away and had eaten most of the places available. We heard Cliffdroppers burgers were so good so we planned our last afternoon around making sure we were there for dinner before they closed (6:45). We got there a little before 6:30 and they were already closed. No update on Yelp or anywhere else online. Pretty disappointing and want to make others aware to not rely on them being open. read more

Awesome burgers and fries! Very quick and friendly service. They had a television to catch Sunday football games.

Excellent simple food place. We got there just a few minutes before closing time and it was buzzing. It was satisfying grub for an end to a long day of hiking around Mt St. Helens and traveling to Packwood. We both had the Salmon burger, although it is a filet, was fresh and tasty. Fries were crunchy in the outside tender in the inside and hot, just like I like them. Stop buy for a burger if you are in town. We might have a burger tonight or tomorrow. We did stop for burgers. I had the jalapeño and my husband the blue cheese and it was delicious read more

Cliff Droppers - Bacon blu burger w/fries - Burgers Near Me - Packwood, Washington

Thank you for having a veggie option! The veggie burger was excellent - great meal after a long day hiking

Good burgers! Nice people. Easy to order. Had outdoor and indoor seating which was nice and clean.

In the summer of 2020, while the world was busy imploding on itself, we decided to do a burger quest throughout Washington. It was an easy way to go and see places throughout the state and check out the drive-in style/americana burger scene in different cities. While on our way to Yelm, we happened across this gem and decided to check it out. Winning! It was immediately intrigued with the burgers head north west team names including those of different mountains as well as a Sasquatch burger. The place feels like a spot you'd rent skis and drink beer before and after renting skis - it's a good vibe! We decided on an Elk burger and Cliff Dropper with bacon. Elk is good, this beef was better. The CD is double meat, double cheese and double bacon if you ask for it. The first bite was like when a cartoon character falls in love and hearts come from their eyes - He who has ears, let him hear this - (To Date - 7/27/20) - This is the best burger I have ever tasted! Surely you exaggerate, you might say - I respond- Nope, this burger is boss! The patties are good sized but they manage to utilize the Maillard reaction (Educate yourself! -https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maillard_reaction) a la smash burger and give the edge just a little crisp. The bacon is as good as I've ever tasted (We went to Baconfest 2-7 - Look it up!) and was so perfectly done, we took extra pictures. Grilled onions danced atop this meat castle and like the culmination of a beautiful using, just made everything perfect. In a surprise move, the tots here were as good as we've had as well! I'd you eat tots, they should be extra crispy and these were extra crispy, but not lunch lady burned style, like perfectly crispy, like your mom was impressing the other neighborhood mothers crispy! Imagery aside, this was as epic of a burger as we've tasted and while we can't declare the #WashingtonBurgerQuest won, this is gonna be a hard to beat. This is worth a drive from whatever corner of the state or adjacent states you live in. Check this place out and you can thank us later! read more

Very overrated. Burger was rather bland and you have to pay for fries or tots even if you don't want them.

I had the mushroom cheeseburger that comes with fries. The fries were pretty good and the cheeseburger was okay. The issue I had was mine was a tad bit dry. Decent burger, not great and not bad. read more

Perfect place in Packwood for a post-hike burger. There's one veggie option. Everything else is piled high with meats, cheeses and veggies. Open weekends. Good for groups. Fast, friendly service and reasonable prices. Thank you! Will be back next time we are at Rainier. Glad you're open! read more

Hands down a great burger place. We were traveling through and needed some lunch. So happy we stopped here. Great quality beef. These smash burgers were hot, fresh and neatly put together. I had the fries and my husband opted for the tots. Both were great, not greasy at all. Fry sauce is extra purchase but worth it for dipping. We sat outside under the covered area in the picnic table area where we were able to let our fur baby join us. If I'm ever in this area again, I'd stop here in a heart beat. read more

Cliff Droppers - Bacon Bleu Burger! - Burgers Near Me - Packwood, Washington

Yummy burger a must have after a hike in the park. Nice little area to eat outside - service was pretty limited as you just order and pickup from counter. It was fine read more

This burger joint satisfied my every craving after a long morning of hiking and driving. Ordering at the window, I opted for the bacon blue cheese burger, which was topped with fresh veggies. The burger itself wasn't the best I'd ever had, but it certainly hit the spot in combination with the crunch of bacon and onions. For those who haven't hopped on the blue cheese train, I suggest trying it on a burger. The fries were thin and crispy, just how I like them. The fry sauce costs extra, but it's totally worth it. It was also nice to sit outside at a picnic table to enjoy the weather. This late lunch was just what I needed to fill me up before a dreamy nap. Check them out while you're in town. read more

Cliff Droppers - Blue cheese burger - Burgers Near Me - Packwood, Washington

Tasty burgers and nice service. They offer you a pager so you can wait in your car if you are not looking to get a table, which is really handy when just passing through and buying to go. The fry sauce, which you have to pay for, is a bit bland as fry sauces go. They do tots nicely (super crispy!). Other than that, the prices are kind of steep these days (nowhere near the old menus pictured in Yelp), so brace for that. read more

I loved this place. Old school and everything about it was perfect. Service was good. You order at a counter and grab everything you need yourself. Sat outside since we had a dog with us but that was totally fine. Burgers were amazing. Just what we needed after a long drive. Fries were nice and crispy. Highly highly recommend this place!! read more

The best burger I've had in years. I will definitely be back when passing through. Perfect for after a day on the trails.

One of the best burgers I've ever had! Great, friendly, takeout service too! Our family of four all get saying "oh man this is so good" as we devoured our burgers. Highly highly recommend! We wish we were local so we could enjoy more but will definitely be telling folks about this gem of a place! read more

This is a great local burger spot. The burgers are a good size and pretty tasty! We ended up grabbing some burgers before heading out of Packwood! read more

We stopped here on the way into town, and were pleasantly surprised! They have great reviews but we are traveling with some... high maintenance folks. One can't have gluten and the other two are dairy sensitive. The burgers were great, massive in size and super juicy. I have celiac disease so I got a Cliff Dropper burger but with no bun, and they automatically lettuce wrapped it. The fries were cooked to perfection with that fry crisp you desire and then with the fry sauce - chef's kiss! I would like to also add that their fountain coca-cola tasted amazing. Some places is watered down abs yuck... this place - good! My husband got the 911 burger and the other couple with us for the little foot & the chicken strips - all were rated with rave reviews! This is definitively a gem within packwood and we'll be back. read more

Way out in the forest and rural Washington we were visiting the towns that were sparsely sprinkled with craft breweries out towards Packwood which was our destination on this little day trip and of course a craft brewery. We needed to have lunch despite our craft beer quest and were not familiar with what the restaurant options were in this small town but digging out Yelp made quick work of that and we decided Cliff Droppers would be what we were looking for that day. I got the cheeseburger here which off and on is something that sounds good to me lately and indeed it was! Fresh ingredients and decent sized but not overwhelming burger was what was served and I really enjoyed it! I also enjoyed the side of french fries too! Steve got something a bit more unusual. He got the Elk Burger which was very good as well. It's been a while since I had elk and it brought back fond memories of eating it and a new memory was forged. Cliff Droppers is a great place to swing by for lunch regardless if you are on a craft brew quest or not. read more

Ok, so a review has to compare a place to others. I've eaten at In & Out Burger, Five Guys, Burgerville, Balboa Cafe, Matt's (juicy Lucy) and Cliff Droppers is such a gem. The owners are the nicest people, the meat in the burger is so very good. It has got to come from a local butcher. The burger is a blend of smashburger and a in & out. So juicy, so flavorful and the toppings (tomato, lettuce, mushrooms, cheese) are so fresh. Tater tots are crispy, not greasy and soft inside. There is a pizza place, a Mexican restaurant a brewery in town and this place is so very good. Show them some love. read more

My teenage son, the burger lover, made us stop in. They made an amazing burger. I think the thinly sliced Canadian bacon really pulled it together. I chose the slaw as my side and I was some of the best I've had. You wait for a bit for your food but it is worth it. In fact, we returned the next day for lunch. read more

The burger patties are really, really good. They use brioche buns which really adds to the burgers. The vegetables were fresh and their special sauce goes very well in the burgers. I love that they don't put mustard in their burgers but have it available for people who like it. The only thing that was wrong with the burger was the "Swiss" cheese--they use processed cheese, the stuff that tastes almost exactly like American cheese but it is white. Service was great and it was clean. If you are in the area, it is a great place for lunch or dinner; however, if you are coming for dinner, they close at 7:00 but don't take any orders after 6:50. read more
