Tried to order fries with shredded cheese and was told unable to do so because they don't have a button...... charge me for cheese and fries uhm we can't do that unless it's a burger ok give me chili fries no chili... took my business to Wendy's ordered the same thing no questions asked..maybe that's why small businesses are struggling and corporate America is taking over,a line around the building and deas had none in a lunch rush read more

This place has been around for years and my parents ate here when they were growing up. I love this place, not only for its vintage nostalgic look, but also for its commitment to keep its originality and spirit. Their rectangle burgers almost resemble subs, but not. The taste is delicious and their special sauce also is what makes it a smacker. The service is good and always coming to the table to check on customers. You can find parking of course as they have a lot and prices are reasonable. read more

Love this place !!! Longburger is a great option Shakes always a must Patio is open for summer read more

I was here on a Memorial day and the special was blue, red and white waffles. Sounded delicious but sadly I didn't order that because the menu had so many other tempting choices. We decided on a chicken fried steak, steak and eggs and the french toast. Everything was simply marvelous and the crispy but tender hash browns were the best!!! Our server was sweet and she basically helped me decide on the chicken fried steak, which I will definitely come back for. She was very friendly and efficient while she seemed to be overloaded with many other tables. The place simply has good food and is priced very affordable. Wish I could eat here every day... read more

See all

My experience here was amazing! I went here at 7:00 on a Friday and it surprisingly wasn't super busy, the food was amazing and the service was incredible, Barry was an amazing server and I highly recommend this place read more

I gave up a long time ago trying to find a substitute for In N Out Burger when I moved up here in 1996. Some things are not able to be duplicated. I have to say that I never talked myself into this place being a clone for the fabled franchise either. However I kept hearing that this place was a good and that it had a certain charm and history. Those things are unfortunately lost on me. After a rigorous afternoon of trying to fill up the Sandy River with rocks with the Wife and The Tax Deduction we decided to bop on over to Gresham and see what this place is all about. We set the GPS to Dea's and visions of tasty burgers danced in our heads. In the case of the Tax Deduction he had a vision of a hot dog. We found the place easily enough and pulled in. It looked kind of old school and seemed like it could be a find. We walked in and studied the menu in detail and decided on two long cheeseburgers, one double and one single, fries and the aforementioned hot dog. We took a booth and let the place grow on us. After a short wait they called our number and I went up to get our meal. We unwrapped our long cheeseburgers and took our first bite and waited for the flavors and the cheese and the inevitable nod of the head of a socially acceptable burger. And waited. And waited. And chewed some more. And.... it just never came. I bite deeper into the burger and it was a lot like the first. Now hear me out, it was not a bad burger but it was nothing special. I felt the meat lacked seasoning. Some celery salt would work wonders here, anything really, garlic, season salt, mesquite seasoning. I ate the burger, it filled me up but I couldn't work up a single emotion about the experience. Now the fries were crispy and good. However we paid fifty cents for two cups of "fry sauce". Note to Dea, thick thousand island dressing is not fry sauce. Mayo, ketchup, chili powder and a touch of salt is fry sauce. I think I could walk into a Cash & Carry and point out the tub of dressing they use. Very disappointing. The employees were very nice and friendly. read more

Dea's In & Out - Well, the sign looks good anyway. - American Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

My daughter and I are trying out the different burger drive-in's around the Portland metro. The onion rings were smashed at the bottom of the bag. We ordered 3 long burgers with bacon and cheese. None of them had bacon. Drove 20min home before we found out. Not worth going back to get fixed. The burgers were meh. We will not return. Mike's Drive-in still holds the crown. read more

Yes we absolutely will, thank you so much for responding and that makes total sense! Your ice cream is the best in Gresham!!!

If you're a local and you think you know all the great spots to go get a great meal in Gresham and you don't have Dea's In and out at the top of your list, you may want to rethink your life's choices. My wife and I were trying to figure out a good place to grab breakfast/lunch after church today. I had heard the place was bought and was extremely renovated. When we looked them up we saw a mix of information that wasn't clear about what was what. One review said the place didn't open until 11:00 but if you wanted a burger you had to wait until 12:00 before you could order one, and various other weird things. However everyone had good reports about the food and the newly remodeled restaurant, so we decided to give them a try. That was our best decision of 2024 so far!!!! When we got there we were greeted by a wonderful young lady that was genuinely happy to see us and said we were welcome to sit wherever we liked. We chose one of the new plush booths. I am a big guy and I don't typically choose a booth option because I often don't fit. That is not the case here. The booths are huge and extremely comfortable. When we ordered I was pleased to see that they had most of Dea's iconic dishes like the long burgers. I didn't waste any time pondering what I was having for lunch, double long cheese burger with tots for me, and my wife have the chicken sandwich. We decided to order an order of their hand-dipped onion rings. OMG these were the best onion rings in the city hands down!!! The burger was cooked to perfection and was absolutely delicious. My wife's chicken sandwich was very good with fresh ingredients. We had already determined that we would be back next week to try something else from the menu. Their breakfasts look delicious! I can't wait to go back next week. We are definitely going to try one of those huge homemade cinnamon rolls! Ok so here's the deal they opened at 9am on Sunday and close around 9pm. I'm not sure the other hours on the other days but I know they are open for breakfast, lunch, & dinner. You should go check out this place. It truly didn't d read more

I've been coming here for over 50 years for really good hamburgers and fries. I stopped by the drive through today for 2 long burgers and a large fry. After a 30 minutes wait in line with only 3 cars in front of me I received my order. Got a small fry instead of the large which was cold and hard! The burgers were also cold with stale bun's. We called the restaurant to complain and were told they were short on staff which many restaurants are in these times. I asked why the food was so cold which is not a staffing issue since we were at the window waiting for our food to be cooked fo 10 out of the 30 minutes. Their excuse was they precook all their food and reheat it to order. The meat in the burger and the fry's appeared to be sitting around for a long time before an attempt to reheat that didn't work. After taking a bite we through it all in the garbage which is were it belonged. read more

I've been coming here for 40 plus years for context. I think something has changed, the meat seems different and so did the bun so be aware- it might not be what you expect or remember it to be. Out of curiosity I was going to call and ask. I read it may have changed owners. read more

My fiance and I recently visited for lunch on a Sunday and had a wonderful experience. Grilled cheese, long burger, fries and sodas. All of these things were to our liking. The were full of flavor, nothing was over or under cooked and the portions were great for the price. The fries were crisp and salty and their fry sauce paired well with it. The service was perfectly OK since all we really did was order at the counter and wait. The place is old and a little dingy but not gross by any means, simply outdated. I have nothing to complain about and honestly can't wait to return! read more

Would not rate any star. OMG..This is the worst hamburger I've had at this estabishment. Soo salty and can't taste the special sauce. Has ownership/management changed? Last order was off too. NOT GOING TO BUY from THIS ESTABLISHMENT AGAIN!!! read more

we have been waiting through the Covid situation for Dee's to reopen. they took advantage of the situation to remodel. great timing on their part. well they finally reopened. was so excited. walked in and it has changed. in my opinion not for the better. most of the booths are gone and VERY much a BAR atmosphere. not the mom and pop 50's burger shop. food was still good but I don't want lunch in a bar. sorry read more

Haven't eaten here since high school. Still just as good as I remember it. Good, friendly service. Tho I chose to do the drive thru rather than dining in. Had a mini long. No pic to share :( read more

Very disappointed in Deas and what they have become,I stopped in tonight at about 7:00pm and was going to order a chocolate ice cream cone medium.The sign said small cone $2.50 medium cone $2.75 and large cone for $3:00. The girl at the window said that will be $3.00,I told her the sign for the medium cone clearly states $2.75 ,she said cost all went up.I said forget it then , I had the money but now it's a matter of principle, can you imagine letting a customer walk because of $.25 they're clearly making too much money there read more

After being out of state a few years, we made it back and decided to give our old favorite another chance. Not sure what happened while we were away, but I'm glad it did. The service is back. I got my long burger with tots and fry sauce and a Vanilla Coke and I was taken back to younger days. Keep up the good work. read more

Just a couple highlights: Hair and funk on our cup. Long burger patties are precooked and therefore the patty was COLD when served. Table was sticky and filthy. Not the kind of filthy from not wiping after a recent customer, the kind of filthy that takes years to accumulate PLUS poor cleaning before seating. Dirty place overall. Attitude if you bring anything to their attention. Not good. read more

Super good burger and the crew still served me and they closed at 9:00pm. I was in the driveway at like 8:59p. Definitely going back here to order more stuff. It looks closer but I kept seeing people driving in and out of that place. I knew it had to be an unknown secret and glad I rolled by to find out! read more

We returned to the bar after a year and several months ago. The new owners have done a fantastic job remodeling the bar area and restrooms. Very friendly owner, Sammy, who was running the bar and telling us about the new updates. Glad the partners have invested in this Gresham treasure from so many decades and are honoring Dea Sparks and family in the process. The food is great. Of course we'll be back. read more

I'm from out of town and had been asking my coworkers for a mom and pop restaurant and they told me about Dean's. Great food I was very impressed. read more

Sure disappointed with food yesterday. I have loved Dea's my whole life, but I doubt I'll eat there again. I won't waste too much time on details but it was the worst burger I've had in a very long time. Fries were barely warm, tasted like old oil.. I just felt so sad, what's happened? read more

Sadly is not the same Dea's it used to be. Onion rings are breaded & like eating card board - unlike the lightly coated crispy onion rings they used to make. No more home baked burger buns - are now serving a dried out card board style bun that matches the onion rings. Family friendly front dining area gone & replaced with a horseshoe shaped counter focused on alcoholic drinks. Booths & tables & chairs & ambiance is like a strip club atmosphere - maybe those will be next. I'd never take children or grandchildren there now. The back bar & gambling area was enlarged & is more tolerable if you're an adult. French fries have not been good or fresh made for years & that hasn't changed for the better. Crinkle fries instead of the thin, short, frozen & fried style fries served now. The drive thru employees try to charge higher prices than what is stated on the drive thru menu board. I take a pic with my cell phone to prove what the posted price is - otherwise they play dumb & insist it's a higher price with no proof as to why they insist the price is higher than posted. ALWAYS check the bag before you drive away cuz you can never trust that all you ordered is in the bag. I suspect they do cook it but eat it themselves. Is very very sad to see how the quality, honesty & family friendly fun place to go has disappeared. You could always rely on excellent food & excellent customer service - but not any more - especially via the drive thru & front bar atmosphere area. read more

We haven't ate here in a long time so we decided to stop. I was very disappointed with the kid who took our order. He was acting like he didn't even want to be there, he got my order wrong, he mumbled & talked so low that my wife couldn't hear him. I ordered a chili burger and he gave me a short burger. The tator tots were just a blob, not the type of tots I would get other places. This is a good place to eat, just very disappointed in this visit. read more

Oh Dea's. The hub destination for greasy goodness and diner-esqe quick meals in Gresham. Nothing fancy and a bit outdated. Word to the wise: Order the long burger. A rectangular shaped hamburger with some cheese and special sauce. It's pretty darn tasty. Nothing fancy. Pretty sure the fries are frozen. You won't really find anything homemade here but that's not the point. It's quick. It's cheap. And it's good. Milkshakes. Do yourself a favor and get one. They are thick and uber delicious. Chocolate and peanut butter, yes please! Dea's also does breakfast which I have not tried but am sure would be pretty decent. They have all your quint essential fried foods....the fish and chips are pretty good as well. The staff is friendly. Typically consists of high school kids working the counter. All in all a good stop for some alright quick eats in the area. read more

The best kept secret in Gresham!! Friendly family owned restaurant that provides great food at affordable prices. Family friendly and a excellent choice for dates or just a day off from cooking. read more

So far so good. Stopped in late Sunday evening got fries and a decaf coffee. Just a snack. I also stole a couple bites of my friend's corn dog. Staff was super friendly. Food was out fast and tasty. Also, there was hot, good decaf ready to go. It was like 90 min to close... honestly that impressed me. read more

First off, I want to say I like their long burgers. The bread is soft and warm. BUT I cannot overlook other things. I bought a salad and I am beyond annoyed. I am sorry to sound rude but $4 for iceberg lettuce that has bad parts (it looks like it is from a bag....) and a dried out onion is outrageous. I am very displeased. read more

Dea's In & Out - American Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

Went here with my fiance and brother in law. It has a very cafeteria feel. There really was no breakfast items and had coffee and a cheeseburger for breakfast. It was also a little pricey for what we got. The lady at the counter is what killed it for me. We ordered coffee and waited to get the rest and she seemed upset that we didnt get food. read more

I cannot believe how much food to cost is huge! The portions are definitely set to fill you up. Also everyone is so nice and it has an old style feeling like a grandmas house. As oldies playing in the background. It's is a great place for kids also! Highly recommend read more

Dea's In & Out - Sausage, bacon, eggs and 3 pancakes - American Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

Well, let me first say when you walk in here it is freezing cold so plan on wearing your jacket or being uncomfortable. Secondly they don't care. I asked the bus boy about it and got no response, and then about 45 minutes later this girl comes out and starts closing the blinds, and my friend says, "Hey how about a little heat in here", no response, then she comes near our table and he asks again, could you turn on some heat and she mumbles , "Well it's warm in the bar area", Well we are paying customers sitting in the eating area !! Didn't care. Behind this establishment is a large bar and poker place so I guess that is all they care about. The food was awful. They serve all hamburgers on this small French roll and when you get it there are like two small patties on it, like nothing. Side order of Mozerilla Sticks, horrible. And to top it off you better expect to not have any waiter or server asking you if you need a refill of anything or to clean off the table because they were none and we were there for about 90 minutes. Go up to the Black Bear Diner or anywhere else because it is like eating i8n a freezer with really bad food and no service. read more

We used to come here almost every month! The food does not disappoint! Highly recommended coming here! My order was correct, and got the right toppings on the burgers. Keep going, I'm glad to see this place still open! read more

We had this place as a go-to for burgers and fries for many years. Recent ownership change, and many things have gotten worse. I think they changed their beef supplier and it's awful! Got two longburgers today and neither me nor my wife could eat them! Tasted like spoiled meat! We won't be back unless we hear back about improvements! read more

This is a favorite of ours, and it's great to see that everyone is wearing a mask and that the kitchen isn't too crowded. The food is always head and shoulders better than any other burger drive through in the neighborhood. read more

Best food in town always fresh food great milkshakes employees are very nice and helpful the cook is one of the best you can get food from the drive through we use to eat lunch here back in High School every day for years and still eat here read more

This is a great little burger and shake place. The staff was vibrant. Little wait for lunch. I had the chicken sandwich. And they made me a triple flavored shake. Just ask. I like the manicured bonzai shrubs. Definitely going back and telling friends. read more

Dea's In & Out - Great little burger and shake place! - American Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

I used to love breakfast at Dea's. But since early in 2020, they have become afraid of having people in their restaurant and refuse to open for indoor dining. Every other restaurant in the area is open and welcoming their customers, so there are many choices for a good meal, no matter the time of day. Sorry Dea's, I will never again be a customer of a restaurant that wants me to stay away. And, don't give me that "drive thru" crap either. I am not going to eat a meal in my vehicle. read more

A loaded long Burger with onion rings and a pumpkin shake.... AWESOME! Can't wait to come again! read more

Dea's In & Out - YES! - American Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

Disappointed. I grew up with Deas. Best burgers ever. I have always missed them since I havnt lived in the area for years. Whenever I am in the area I make a point to stop by. I haven't been there in a few years. What happened?! Burger had no flavor.bun was horrible. Dry fell apart. I used to like having the burger and asked onions or no onions.now it comes with stuff which is fine but not the same and no sauce. Drive through took 25 minutes. It made me sad. I was so excited, all I could think about was getting a long burger. Not the same... read more

Adorable diner with an east side charm. The burgers and sandwiches are good. I didn't prefer the onion rings (needed a little seasoning) but loved the small town feel. read more
