Awesome burgers, clam chowder on fridays and ice desserts . My husband and I moved to Aberdeen and stop by once once a month for our treat back from Vancouver Wa shopping. Got to try it. Great service also. read more

if I could rate less than one star, I would this place is absolute garbage. The food is mediocre at best so to wait more than 25 minutes for and still not get my order and to be treated by the servers when I asked how much longer my food would be absolute garbage honestly place is still open read more

Well, we were thrilled that you reopened after MUCH needed repair but a 38 minute wait was too much! We love your food but need extra staff!!!! read more

One of the best in the area. Great food, not expensive. The staff is very fast and helpful.

Cute little place. Nice staff. Good service. Ordered bacon cheeseburger with tots. Started eating and it just got worse the more i ate. Not sure how tots can taste bad but thy did. Burger meat pattie was so thin it was a burger with lots of lettuce & bun and no meat. But it started to taste bad too. Again. Nice staff. I will not return. read more

Cute diner. Food was awesome. I had a cod burger. Super good with fresh ingredients. Stephanie waited on us. She totally gets 5 stars. No nice and made sure we had everything we needed. read more

The service is spotty here, they have an old lady that's rude and very unpleasant. They also have younger and very nice service people. You have a very good restaurant and could be great. BUT!!!! Service is everything now days!!! If the older generation can't be nice it's not a good fit... I will come back but I won't if I continue to get rude service... read more

Great juicy burger with thick creamy milkshake! Burger patty and soft serve for our pooches. Cannot get better than this.

Burgers was delicious and my entire family left the restaurant full and happy! Friendly staff and love the physique of the restaurant!

The service was great. Food fantastic. Highly recommend eating here. Found it by chance as we were from out of state and were lost.

Some of you may remember the magic of the original Eagan's on Olympia's westside. Thirty years ago the burgers were great and it had the perfect "small local favorite" feel. They lost that feeling for various reasons but one day in early 2023 I was driving down Highway 12 from Rochester to Elma and saw a small diner on the side of the road, pulled in and ordered a burger. I took a bite. My server came around the corner, saw the look on my face and must have thought I was having a stroke. "Are you ok?" She asked. "I've been looking for this burger for 30 years, ever since the westside Eagan's sh!t the bed" I replied without the swearing. Then, from the kitchen came the matriarch, Lisa, and she says the following: "I used to work there" Don't get me wrong, they have their own angle on burgers and other offerings that are delicious including chicken, sandwiches and fish n chips but the burger is a secret time travel device for those who miss times passed. read more

I've been in Rochester on business several days lately, so I looked up local places (not chains) because it really is important to support local these days . I looked on Yelp, and my fellow Yelpers gave this place good reviews- (I'm listening guys) -So I decided to pop in at 12:30 on a Wednesday. It was very clean in there, the people working in there were very nice and the food was very good. I had a basic single patty cheeseburger, and an order of fries . It was $10 and honestly these days that's about right anywhere you go. The burger was hot and fresh and very much like ones my grandmother made with toasted buns, and a good crust on the meat. They had a mayo/mustard type sauce and it was very tasty. The only change I requested was light on the onions and it was perfect . The fries are the crinkle kind that I love and they were really hot and fresh . I really like this place I would definitely come back . read more

Cute place. Mom and pops type food. Fun place to stop on a nice day when you don't want to cook and just want a burger and fry. We got 2 basket meals. Fries are perfect. Goop....omg I love goop. Burgers are yummy smashed burgers. Unfortunately my Sierra Mist was just soda water, no flavor. My husbands was fine. So not sure what happened there. Staff was sweet. Encouraging us to get the meal. Glad she did!!! We've been before and for some reason this was a little better than the time before. I would recommend coming here!!! read more

Just visited as a pit stop on a road trip and was so pleasantly surprised :)) Super cute nostalgic ambiance, and the sweetest service. Many thanks for the delicious burgers! read more

Doesn't look like much, but this place serves some of the best burgers in Thurston County. Limited seating inside, and not a lot to see, but you don't go here to admire the decor; this place is all business and their business is serving good food. Staff are friendly and service is quick. read more

The food was very very good. The place itself is very easy to miss but once you find it and get your food you won't be disappointed. The cheeseburger I got was juicy and messy in the best way. The tator tots were crispy and great. I also got a milkshake, I mixed and Oreo and red velvet cake and it was really good. Although it's a little out of the way, if I was near the area I would definitely stop here again. read more

Great service and great ladies running the kitchen. we were in town for a little league bball game and stopped in for lunch. We had a hot dog, fish n chips, chili fries and burgers. Everything was good. My daughter said fish and chips.werr.bomb. homemade tarter sauce read more

Yum!! Great food, friendly service, and right near the house you can't beat it. My husband and I were starving and not in the mood to cook so we grabbed Highway 12 and wow was I impressed. My French dip was hot, fresh, and full of flavor. I raved about it for days after! My husband had a chicken burger and loved it as well. The service was friendly which is a plus. The location is convenient but definitely very low key and has a small parking lot. Overall, I highly recommend Highway 12 drive in!! read more

If I could leave negative stars I truly would. The food is mediocre at best but since we moved to the general area about 7 years ago we ate here to support a local small business. From the get go I've felt their customer service was extremely poor, but again we were trying to support a local business. Lots of turnover so that tells me a lot and when they would have a "nice" worker they didn't last long. The straw that broke this camels back was that we decided to grab dinner from there this past Monday and was waiting in the drive thru to order. Started wondering what everyone in front of us were ordering as it seemed to take forever. The 2 cars in front of us eventually left & we thought something was weird as we saw no food being handed out the window after all this waiting. So we pull up & the window is wide open & their music was blaring so loudly. After a few minutes we realized no one was even inside, my husband said they must all be outside smoking/taking a break. So I gave them another minute then honked my horn to givem' a hint there was someone outside. No one came so after yet another minute we went into the restaurant. As we were walking in, ALL the employees were walking in from outside. We explained that we'd waited a long time in the drive through & suggested they should put a sign up if they were not available at the window. The heavy set employee made a face, shirked her shoulders & was like whatever. Okkklkkk, so we left & I was livid. I get maybe you don't want to be there. Great, then please don't be there. Because of this last experience after a string of poor experiences there I guarantee I will NEVER step foot in your establishment again. I hope someone who cares about this business reads this book of a review and takes action. Your employees lack of customer service is reflecting poorly on your business. And yes, I will drive 30 minutes away to not eat at Highway 12. read more

This place might seem like a "dive" to those passing by but it has amazing diner style burgers and the best onion rings! I recently moved down near this area but remember this place from my younger days with my family- and it's now a go to with my own family. Great local business and place to stop and grab a bite! read more

A comfortable and good early dinner. Cute decor. Good meal. Friendly male waiter and kind female.

awkward drive or walk up close to intersection but parking lot easy to get in & out of. Food is excellent, the "deluxe" burger is very tasty, just like those old classic local burger places back in the early 70's. read more

Small town business, great cheeseburgers. We had the milkshake too. Not a salad in sight though. It's cheeseburgers and fries, soft serve ice cream. One of the best local cheeseburgers we have had since moving to Oly/Lacey area. read more

Delicious burgers and fries! Service is friendly. Building could use some extra cleaning and updating.

Highway 12 always takes care of us. We don't eat buns. They don't treat us like we flew in from Mars. We love this place.

Food is decent but they charge way too much for what the quality is. Ordered fish and chips once out of curiosity. Never made that mistake again. Frozen in the middle and soggy fries too. The food isn't the worst thing about this restaurant either. Terrible service, the employees are curt and cold until you've left a tip. The people here talk to you like they don't even want your patronage. And let's not forget the drive-thru that faces on coming traffic, which is an accident waiting to happen. Would not recommend, save your money and go to your local McDonald's instead Only leaving 2 stars because their milkshakes are actually good but that's just about it. read more

Had a bad experience here tonight, we pulled in and the open sign was still on, when we pulled around to the window it was off and they put a closed sign in the window, it was still 3 minutes until closing time, my guess is that they didn't want to stay after thinking we were going to order burgers, actually the wife and I wanted a couple of ice cream cones, this will definitely effect my buying decisions in the future, shame I like the place and eat here a lot, but if that is the kind of game they want to play they don't want my business. read more

I live less than a mile from the cafe. In my family, there are two legendary places for burgers in years past: Harold's in Centralia and The Hut in Shelton. The burgers at Highway 12 Diner are in the same class. They have that old-time diner look and taste. A burger should require a handful of napkins, and these do. Fresh veggies and good meat. I don't normally stray from the burgers, but the fries are good, and the onion rings are incredible. They have a nice little dining area, but I always do take out. read more

Call ahead. Hours say they close at 8 but they just shut the window after they served the car in front of us, turned off the Open sign, and wouldn't even come to the window to explain. read more

If you're hungry for a delicious burger, DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS PLACE! Great home cooked burgers, a Friday Fish & Chips and Chowder special, and much more!!! Friendly ladies working here. Great family atmosphere! Oh, also try their MILKSHAKES! read more

Drive thru is a little awkward, but the food is sooooo worth it. Great burgers, good fries, awesome tater tots. Made to order, everything fresh. And made with care. Not tossed together and thrown into a bag. We will be back read more

I use to go here as a small kid, it used to be called "Eagan's" or something like that. Excellent burgers and fries! Quality meat and ingredients. My son had chicken tenders and they were either breaded fresh or grade A frozen. My only complaint is that it's a little small and wish they offered crayons and paper to kiddos. But the service was quick, even though they seemed short handed. Good shakes and ice cream too! Nice specials they offer as well. read more

I love coming here. It's down the street from my house and 10x better than going into grand mound for drive through food. Someone told me it was an eagans but I'm not so sure. Either way I love it! Burgers are good and so is the prawn basket and shakes are delicious! Definitely my go to place. read more

They have the best shakes, nice and thick with loads of different flavors. Tried the fish and chips and they are OK, nothing special. The burgers are tasty (much better than chain burger places) but not a great value for the money. The fries and tater tots are OK. The drive through is very awkward but the staff has been very friendly. Will go back for their shakes any day. read more

Great burgers, fries, tots and ice cream. Staff is always friendly. Our dog loves going for the large dog treats.

Service wasn't very welcoming. They got my order wrong and then just popped it into the microwave. Food was greasy.

Okay so the food here is really good but the lady's are SO MEAN. Like I'm scared to go in there because they're always so rude to you until you tip them hahaha I swear then they're like "omg thanks you need anything else honey(: " read more

Great place to stop and get a delicious burger & fries for a good price. Quick service also. I recommended trying their highway 12 sauce with their burger. Bacon burger has a ton of bacon on it which is a plus. Toasted marshmallow shake is awesome. Mom and pop feel in the dining area. Only negative thing about this place is occasionally one of the older women that work there isn't very friendly and has quite the attitude. All other staff is great. read more
