    1/4 pound Ranger burger with cheese and bacon
    Barry B.

    Stopped and orders the 1/4 Ranger burger with cheese and bacon. Also had the the small fries with fry sauce. Food was excellent. Definitely stop if you're in Naches!!

    No inflation here!!!

    What's not to like. GIANT 1/4 pound burger with cheese... $7.45??? No inflation here. Use the walk up window and wait 15-20 minutes, it's worth it. If you are in Yakima, it's worth the short drive. Check it out.

    Best Seasonal Fruit Milkshakes!!! 22oz

    Always worth the journey for the quality of food and consistency in my belly! Joyce so much more of this quality stuff it's awesome. The best milkshake I've ever had was here. This lady in the background keeps talking while I'm trying to post this comment and I love it.

    For years, we've driven by this place and for years we've never stopped because it was always busy or we needed to get home. We'd heard the lore surrounding the burgers and shakes, but nvm ever had a chance to drop in. This all changed after a bike ride last week! We rode the Greenway trail from Yakima to Naches last weekend and it spit us out right behind Laredo. With three hot kiddos and two hungry parents, this Oasis would allow us to survive - and boy did we! The shakes, burger, rings and ice cream were all hits! The Ranch Burger - I think the smallest they had- was HUGE! We shared one as a family and after pulling it out of the bag, it was so large I thought they got the order wrong. We got it with cheese and bacon - YOU MUST GET IT WITH CHEESE AND BACON! This isn't your lame microwaved two strips of sadness on there. This bacon is the stuff that makes your burly uncle say "Yep, that's Bacon!" I lost count at 5 strips of thick Wilbur and wow was it good. Sitting on the bottom bun like half a dozen hugs from friends after a long time away - I love you too Bacon! By I digress, it was an awesome burger! Beefy. Melty. Bacony. Delicious. Order it! The rings were solid, the shakes NEXT LEVEL - with their whole pieces of fruit and identifiable peanut butter leavings. This is a shake Wilford Brimley would go after. The ice cream comes in standard chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. It's scooped and, as our six year old stated, "Larger than my heart" as measured by his fist. The heart is roughly the size of a fist and this "small cone" was at least double cardiac size. We went through the walk up line and there's also a drive thru option. Expect to spend at least 15 minutes waiting and up to 30 when it's busy. It's worth waiting and was honestly one of the better burger/shake combos we've had in a long time! There's no reason not to check this place out. It will make your day better!

    We stayed at a cabin nearby for the weekend. We were about to eat here Saturday night, but they only had outdoor seating, so opted for another restaurant on the main street. But I was determined to try this place due to the fact that they had corn dogs on their menu, and if you know me, I want to try all the corn dogs out there lol. So Sunday morning we waited around town for an extra hour just so we can grab an early lunch from Laredo. Two of our friends waited around with us, and all of us were blown away by this small town drive in! The only downside we experienced here was the wait. Someone had called in an order of 50 burgers before they even opened shop and the girls working warned us about the wait. So we opted to wait since we had already waited around for so long! We ordered: - corn dog ($1.85/each) - double onion rings - chicken strips - 2 single pattie ranger burgers - hawaiian burger special - Cookies N Cream milkshake ($2 for a 16 oz shake for their winter shake deal) - Peanut Butter Milkshake The corn dog was well worth the wait and I thought was the perfect amount of batter crisp and hot dog. Since a corn dog is small, I thought it was a good idea to order the cheapest burger on the menu, which was a range burger. Oh was I wrong that I thought it was going to be a small burger... I got it with cheese and bacon and the burger was huge! It was delicious! Cody's hawaiian was on a different level. He loved it. Julia and Sara also enjoyed their food too. The onion rings had a good batter on them! Overall, the food at this small town drive in was mind-blowingly good! And I would def recommend you stopping by here if you're in the area!

    Good corn dog, good burger, terrible onion rings

    Ordered a jalapeño burger, onion rings, and a corn dog. The corn dog was good. Only $1 and change as well. Decent size. The jalapeño burger was a good size and had good flavor. The onion rings were overcooked, oily, and the onion was all cooked right out of them. It was basically just greasy fried batter. Pricey too. Pass on the onion rings. Workers were friendly. The food was ready relatively quickly considering how busy they were.

After we were seated, I asked our waitress, Bella, where the restroom was. She pointed me in the right direction, which required walking through an adjacent room where an older woman was selling horse-related items. When I tried to pass through to the restroom, the woman seemed hesitant to let me access it until Bella explained that I was a customer having lunch. While I was in the restroom, my daughter and her boyfriend encountered the same thing. I actually heard Bella assure the woman that they were also there having lunch. It was a strange and unwelcoming way to start our visit. Food-wise, I ordered the chili burger, which is advertised as having homemade chili and, if I remember correctly, "the best chili north of the border." Unfortunately, the chili tasted canned to me and was honestly lower quality than something like Hormel. I definitely wouldn't order it again. The rest of my party had a French dip and fries, a salmon patty burger and fries, and a "works" burger with fries, and they all enjoyed their meals. We did get a seat overlooking the river, which was by far my favorite part of the experience. It was a beautiful view. Bella was also friendly and attentive throughout most of our meal, refilling our coffee and water several times. What bothered me most happened toward the end. Before we had even finished eating, Bella came over asking if we were done and whether she could clear our plates. My daughter had only eaten half of her French dip and was literally still eating her fries. It gave me the distinct impression that we were being rushed out. My daughter clearly felt awkward and agreed to have her food boxed while looking at me as though she wasn't sure how she was supposed to respond. When I paid with Apple Pay, the woman handling the transaction also asked me to come back after completing the payment, which I assume was to verify that it had gone through. By itself, I probably wouldn't have thought much of it. Combined with the restroom encounters and feeling rushed from our table while we were still eating, though, the overall experience left me uncomfortable. Half of our group are Pacific Islander/Asian, and I don't casually attribute poor service to racism. I rarely feel that I've experienced racial discrimination, especially living in the diverse Seattle area. But I would be dishonest if I said the thought didn't cross my mind here. I can't know anyone's intentions, and I'm not going to claim with certainty that race was the reason we were treated this way. I can only say that the combination of interactions made us feel unwelcome and left me wondering whether we would have been treated differently if we looked different. I sincerely hope this was a one-off experience, especially since I understand this establishment has been around for more than 35 years. The river view was wonderful, most of my party enjoyed their food, and Bella was attentive in other respects, but unfortunately the way we felt welcomed--and then seemingly rushed out--overshadowed the positives for me.

The Zabuton steak had a nice favorite but if was my least favorite. This dinner was incredibly good and I will be back!

The kitchen is not stocked with dish towels, serviceable spatulas, serving spoons, potholders serving dishes, large sauce pan, dishwasher, decent coffee or a coffee pot. The mattresses are worn out and saggy. The sofa is past end of life. The lighting is badly designed. The electrical outlets are so worn out that a two-prong power block will not stay plugged in.
