There has been a change in ownership/management, and the food is better. It was always good, but it's gone up a notch. I get takeout about once a month from here as part of our weekly rotation of "I don't feel like cooking tonight." Typically we get a hamburger and a cheeseburger, fries and onion rings. We split the very large portion of fries and the onion rings as well. Last night the guest in front of me ordered the jalapeño burger and I thought "Jalapeño? I didn't know they had that!" It's listed on the menu, but when you go to a place for a long time (for us, since the early 1990s), you kinda stop looking at the menu. So I tried the jalapeño burger, and I very pleased that they didn't just throw raw slices on the burger but instead grilled them a bit. It packed some heat, but without that raw grassy taste that you get from an uncooked pepper. The fries are usually quite quite good, and the onions rings can be a bit too well-done, so we ask for them "not too crispy!" and they're much easier to eat. You can get sauces such as ranch dressing for the onion rings at an extra cost. Other condiments like mustard, mayo, and ketchup are either on the burger itself or come as a free add-on. They have bison chili, and I've always wanted to try it, so I'll get that next time. The place is like one of the old-time burger shacks that you found on the side of the US highway system back in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s, which makes sense, because the main drag through North Bend used to be US 10 (which is replaced by I-90 3 miles to the south). It has a bare bones inside seating area, a front patio that is great in the summer but yikes it's cold in the winter, and their public bathrooms are available only from the outside. Prices tend to be midrange to a bit higher than a chain fast food place, but the food is better IMO and you're supporting a local business. read more

We got one root beer float and one vanilla soft serve, so I can't comment on the food or service. But the ice cream was delicious! read more

I wanted simple and old school fried corn dog and tots and this placed delivered. The fry sauce was simple and delicious. The servers were spunky and the place made me feel like I was in college and I loved it. Do try their slushies if you get a chance. I haven't tried their milkshakes but I will be back to try them. read more

Staff is beyond rude. No line and to ask a question after telling them it's my first time in, not Northwest Polite, but beyond aggressive & rude. If I could take my over $5 tip back on a $25 order, I would. I will NEVER be back. Tweeds, the Pub & other restaurants in North Bend are far more polite and human oriented. read more

The food here is amazing. Burgers are tasty with lots of flavor. The milkshakes are also a really good hit. Love going on a date night with the husband here. Service was amazing staff is always friendly. Will gladly come back. read more

Ordered 1 malt shake, 2 double cheeseburgers, large fry and a cheeseburger kids meal. Everything was really good but paid over $42 for the bundle. Would go back for the burgers and fries but probably skip the shakes. *fry sauce goes really good with the cheeseburgers but it is an additional 75 cents per side. read more

One person on staff here was very rude. The woman working the register (on 3/22 around 2pm) said "you people drive me crazy" to the people waiting in line. At the time, we were standing there quietly in line. Then she asked us to move the line in towards the restaurant and said, "move the line so you're not blocking the door. You know, use your brain!" I've never been spoken to so rudely at a place of business. I was already ordering or I would have left. On top of that, the burgers were not good. read more

An authentic burger joint in the middle of North End! We stopped by here on the way home from Snoqualmie. The burgers were really reasonable, the waffle fries were well seasoned, and the onion rings were crispy without being greasy. We got 1 bacon cheeseburger, 1 double bacon cheeseburger, 1 hamburger, and 1 double cheeseburger. All burgers come with shredded lettuce, pickles, tomato, sauce, & relish on a sesame seed bun. The burgers were well seasoned, the bacon was crispy, and pickles were crunchy. We also got my baby a grilled cheese and it was cooked to perfection! Crispy on the outside, melty on the inside. The bread was also huge! They also had free refills on drinks which is very rare nowadays! Lastly, they had a ton of different flavors of milkshakes, malts and avalanches which is soft serve with toppings. We were too full to try any desserts but lots of other customers had milkshakes. The workers were also very polite and friendly. The cashier asked every customer how their day was and even asked how old my baby was. It was very homey feelings. We would definitely come back for not only the burgers but to try out the shakes! read more

Passing through going to Rattlesnake Lake and decided to stop at this place. We ordered corn dogs, hamburgers, fries and onion rings. Everything was very good. I highly recommend this place. I knew this place was popular and good because of the non stop people coming. Good quality ingredients. The beef wasn't your typical fast food beef. What really stood out was the vanilla soft serve. The vanilla was just a different higher quality than your normal soft serve from McDs or DQ. It was very very good. The service was great too. Very nice and helpful. read more

The bison chili is the best chili I've ever had! Hopefully they'll sell the spices someday so I can make it at home when I can't get to North Bend. it's that good, really. read more

Randomly came across this cute diner while exploring North Bend. It was completely packed and the wait was very long at 3pm on memorial day - which is expected. Seemed that a lot of the crowd was people who just finished hikes and families that just finished sports. Loved all the flavor options for floats, freezes, and shakes. Got a strawberry freeze with ice cream (called a glacier i think) and it was exactly what I was wanting. The fries and burger were pretty solid! Lots of dogs (including mine) were all in the outdoor seating read more

Stopped here yesterday on Labor Day at about 2 pm when other spots were full. Indoor and outdoor seating, order at the counter. Standard burger joint with milkshakes and waffle fries and onion rings! Parking on street and next to building, restrooms in the back. Ordered pretty quick, a couple of burgers, a grilled cheese for the toddler, waffle fries and onion rings. Saw a lot of folks with shakes but wasn't feeling it today. Food took a little bit, but was much faster than anywhere else in the vicinity. We sat outside in the sun and the toddler admired dogs and climbed lounge chairs and snacked. Food was great - really liked the burgers (exactly as expected) and onion rings but wished the waffle fries had a little bit more flavor or salt. Really happy with this stop! Also kudos for the place being clean and family friendly. read more

My friends and I came back from hiking up a mountain out east, so after we finished the whole hike we got really hungry. Scott's Dairy Freeze came up while searching on Google Maps so we decided to come here. The place itself is pretty small, having a few indoor tables and outdoor tables. Service was average, mostly a bunch of teenagers working the front. The items on the menu included different options of burgers, lots of side options, and many desserts that is implied in the "Dairy Freeze" part of their name. I ordered the Bacon Jalapeno burger. It's what I expected out of any burger, nothing special but definitely hit the spot right after coming back from a long hike. I also wanted something cold since it was warm out that day, so I was curious about getting the Avalanche. The employee told me it was similar to a McFlurry, so that was about my expectation. I thought it be would a little "cooler" since it's from an independent local-owned restaurant, but the avalanche was a bit of a let-down. I ordered the Reese's Avalanche, but it was straight up just vanilla ice cream topped with bits of Reese's Cup chocolate. I thought it would have been finely mixed, but it was just boring. All well. I wouldn't go out of my way from Seattle to come here (like most people), but it's convenient if you're in the area or a decent place to go after a hike. But I think I rather drive further back west and find something to eat in Issaquah. read more

IDK why this place has 3.5 stars!? We stumbled upon this diner after doing the Santa Train and everything was SO good. I love a neighborhood burger diner. We ordered a double cheeseburger, the bison chili and fries and two cones to share. The cheeseburger was SO good and cooked perfectly (I'm a well done girl). It was overall friendly service and good food and small town vibes. read more

No thank you. The burger patties were more like sausage patties. And not even good sausage. Gelatinous meat pulp. It was gross, man. Their grill is definitely not hot enough to put on a sear either. The produce on the burger was fine though. Fries were also just crummy bulk purchase supply. Frozen precut potatoes coated with flour to get some crispness, but bland and disappointing. It seems like they are not really making anything here, as much as just assembling frozen ingredients poorly. You'd have better luck slipping on the wet floor of your kitchen and accidentally making a burger. Hard pass next time, Scott. read more

It's as clean as you can expect from a diner, but the burgers and fries are terrible - no flavor, no grill, just blah gelatinous meat-like product. Not trying to be mean, it just was super disappointing and I don't want anyone else to waste a meal. Maybe their sweet spot is ice cream in the summer. read more

We stopped here after a hike, and it was exactly what we needed after a morning trek. The burgers were juicy, the fries and onion rings were nice and crispy, and the milkshake was delicious and thick. Service was pretty fast for a Saturday morning with other hikers clearly coming in for a bite. Super cute and retro inside; we ended up taking our food to go but very very cute!!! read more

After a hike all I can is this spot was perfect! We decided to give this place a try after my family hike at twin falls. Id seen this place online and saw they had soft serve cones which definitely drew my attention. We ordered food here and since it was a nice day it was fairly busy but are food was handed to us within 10 minutes! I loved the vibe here, it's a burger joint placed in a small town which makes it feel like I'm in the 50's!! I enjoyed the retro feel but for the food overall I thought it was okay. I have no complaints with the burger and fries but their wasn't anything special about it. Though it definitely hit the spot after our hike! To top everything off we went back to grab the twist cones we'd seen everyone have, and all I can say about those is wow! Definitely higher quality soft serve and a perfect way to end anyone's day. Also a perk is normally products like soft serve cones have me on the toilet for hours though this one didn't seem to do that to me, hence the quality. All I can say is I feel it should be open until 9 because we kind of had to rush to eat our food in order to get our dessert. Though summer hours may have them open later, in conclusion you need to come here just to enjoy the retro 50's experience! read more

Scott's Dairy Freeze has really really improved since new ownership. Now very clean, staff is trained and the burgers are delish not to mention the huge crispy bag of fries. The chocolate malts are my fav. Good job bringing back a town favorite. read more

For a quick burger, it's number 1 near me. The fries are really good too. The service is good.

Food is okay, my partner enjoys it. The kids love their shakes. I had a Chai flavored one, it was alright. I can't comment on the service or ambiance since food was delivered. read more

Okay, this place. Has good and bad. The good. The city the place sits in is beautiful. The service was very friendly! And over all, the food was great! The bad. They give you 1 small dipping sauce per order of fish or chicken and chips. It's .75 cents for any extra. I'm sorry. One mini pack of ranch for 4 strips and a huge basket of fries is not enough. Also, this food is extremely greasy. Take wet wipes with you. (It's still good, just greasy) read more

One of the creamiest I've ever had!!! Ever since I've been a kid I've loved Scott's and love the friends I've made along the way!!

3.5 stars Charming old school joint in north bend with plenty of outdoor seating. Not sure if I was staaarving after a hike, but the food did seem to take a while. Ordered the swiss mushroom burger, and shared the fries, a cup of chili & the butterfinger shake. Basic burger, not too memorable. Gotta go with the shakes - delicious treat! Would stop by again mostly for their shakes. read more

Small, old school milkshake and burger joint with charm. The burgers are simple but tasty, and the sheer number of milkshake flavors will surprise you. Seating available inside, but there are also tables right outdoor. Parking available, credit card accepted. We stopped by one evening for a cheeseburger and bacon and jalapeño burger with fries. The prices are a bit high for the simplicity of the burgers though. The burgers were tasty, with well-cooked patties and plenty of veggies. The fries were really salty though. Got the chai milkshake and it was delicious! Highly recommend this one if you're looking some something not overly sweet. read more

This is one of those old timey places that has amazing food. I loved everything we ordered and can't wait to go back. They have fried mushrooms, which are a treat and not easy to find. Bison chili was on special and delicious. Fries were crispy and fresh. Burger had a lot of flavor and toppings. Seating area was small but in the summer they had a lot of outdoor seating. read more

Cheese burger was pretty decent, Nothing crazy 3.5/5 Chicken Sandwich (forgot to take a pic of) was way over priced for what it was (it was like 8 bucks and some change) It was very small 3/5 But the shakes were amazing which is why they got a 4 star rating Fries were not bad- my buddy didn't like them but I thought they were okay. Needed some salt for Sure tho. I got the Oreo 4.6/5 and my buddy for the recess. 4.5/5 Over all if you go def get the shakes read more

burger fries sauce and shake were all very good, got to me quickly and were a great price, only issue was website ordering.

Great burgers and great shakes!! Great place to go after hiking all the beautiful spots around it.

My husband and I come out to North Bend for a few things at the outlet and never go left to the little town. Being our first time here, this place reminded us of spots shown in the Archie comic books. I told my husband, "Let's find a hot dog, and we found more here. Got ourselves chicken and chips (good size to share), chicken was pretty crispy, and our pup loved it too (just a little taste). Next, two hot dogs,waffle fries, strawberry shake (soo delicious), and a barq's rootbeer float to top it all off. Customer service was good, food, drinks were good and came out in a timely manner. The interior seating area is what I thought it would be . Overall experience was 4 stars, and we would come back and try the other food items they have to offer. We would recommend this food establishment. read more

Stopped in for lunch; first time here. This is a classic piece of Americana; small town burger joint. Friendly staff took my order; the food arrived quickly. The fries were hot, lightly salted, with a nice crunchy exterior and soft inside, tasty. The fry sauce was good, but standard. The bacon cheese burger was delicious; soft toasted bun, hot juicy meat patty with the cheese melting, tasty bacon and spread. Give this place a try! read more

I just wanted the bison chili they had told n their sign. Not available the first time, then just a watery chili soup. Not good.

We stopped in town for late lunch and passed by Dairy Freeze, saw people waiting around, a place to stop for dessert. Good old fashion dessert after lunch. Soft serve ice cream, similar to Dairy Queen. I got caramel sundae. It was creamy, they did not put a lot of caramel and forgot the nuts. They also forgot chocolate fudge in my friend sundae but they fixed our orders. read more

Looks like a Mom & Pop shop. Food was good. Fries & tots are automatically crispy. I get it, but that's not how I like them. The burger was surprisingly good. Perfectly cooked. The corn dog was ok. It's to over cook for me, but I know that's how others in this state prefer. I highly recommend the shakes. My small Nutella shake was very yummy & thick. Better half had a blueraspberry slushie was very sweet (at least for me). All in all. For the amount spent it's a good place to grab a quick bite. The shake in a bigger size would of been a meal for me. read more

Every town needs one of these joints. You know the kind--drive in or shack, simple burgers, ice cream options, and some weird statue out front. They're my single most favorite kind of restaurants ever, and even though the food rarely rises to level of "wow that's good," it's the charm that makes it. From the teen in pig tails taking orders, to the irreverent crew slinging the food, it's small town magic. In the case of North Bend, Scott's has it covered. That's exactly what you're going to find--large Yeti (?) statue included--and that's why even though I had just eaten lunch elsewhere, I needed to stop in for a shake. Chocolate banana is the great measuring stick of shakes, and so that's what I ordered. I forget that shakes outside of my home state of Utah tend to be drinkable, but the more liquid nature of the shake wasn't unwelcome. And it was still thick with plenty of banana chunks, so you really had to work to get it up the straw. Now, I dropped over $6 so I was a little surprised at the diminutive size of the shake. I don't think it was handscooped ice cream (correct me if I'm wrong?) so it was a bit steep, but darnit it was really good. Just the right amount of chocolate burn. Just the right amount of banana chunks. Smooth, but still textured. I made my way down the highway and sipped and slurped to delight. read more
