    We happen to cross the Viking drive-in when we were coming back from Spokane and needed to grab a quick bite to eat. We continue our #WashingtonBurgerQuest as we travel around the state, and this was a spot that had been on our list for a while. It's located off the main interstate by about 2 miles, and after stopping here we recommend that you do as well. Just as you get into town (Sprague) this place is located on the left in a building that looks like it's been here for quite some time and is very much a ma and pa type place. There's a marijuana store operating out of a shipping container next-door, some no matter what you're in the mood for, Viet food or wanting to be hungry for food later, this parking lot has a covered. As you would guess, there's plenty of Viking theme running through this place. We grabbed a Viking burger - if you stop here you must get the Viking burger! It's double beef, double bacon and double cheese with all the standard accompaniments on a toasted bun... Anywhere the toast the bun absolutely gets it! We've now tried about 85 places around the state of Washington in a quest for the perfect burger, and this one is definitely a top three. I will tell you this is not what we were expecting, but we were pleasantly surprised by it. The burger was flavorful, not too salty, but not bland. The meat was juicy enough to run onto your hand when you took a bite, but not so much that it dripped on you while you were eating it. That's a masterful burger! The bacon was crunchy, thick and perfectly cooked. The cheese was melted and the toasted bun gave us that little extra crunch when we bit into the burger. The little attention to detail goes a Long way when it comes to hole in the wall burgers! The tater tots and onion rings we're both salad and the chocolate, peanut butter, banana shake was delicious. As has been stated a couple times, we were not expecting to be wild by this place, but were totally impressed by what we had. This is the sort of spot that any burger lover needs to stop at, and it's the sort of place that we will make a point to hit up anytime we're driving through.

    Good food and decently sized servings, but seemed a bit pricier than it should be. One person show with only a few tables inside. Very friendly and accommodating.

    We needed something and this was just off I90. Food was great, fast and hit the spot. It has a nice outside area but too frosty when we were there to try. Would definitely return.

    Small restaurant and tables were full. The service was good as was the food. I had the Viking Burger & milkshake & enjoyed it. It was a fun stop.

    Great burgers and fries! Made to order, chicken strips are good as well! Service was very friendly. About 2 mins off the freeway. Very easy to find.

    Good food, definitely do not have fast service at all. If you need a place to stop and eat, I recommend it as long as you have time to wait.(pretty sure we waited at least 35-40 minutes on our food) Everyone was running circles around each other, no one knew what was going on & everyone who was sitting down had to get up to remind them that they were waiting to order. Although, I believe the price is a bit too high, I understand. I had a club sandwich-super delicious We had a western cheeseburger Deluxe cheeseburger We had 2 sides of fries & a side of onion rings(super small portions for $4 each) $11 for a shake though(we definitely did not get that because wow, that's expensive)

    This is a great local place! My wife and I stopped thru on our way from Spokane airport. The lady who waited on me was incredibly kind and accommodated my request for a lettuce bun. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and it was delicious! Everything about this place was great!

    All I can say is don't miss this one! Wow! Probably one of the Best Burgers I have ever eaten! 1/2 lb Bacon Burger with cheese, onions and pickles and came with fries for $12.99. It was cooked perfectly, real slices of bacon, melted American cheese and super saucy! This is one of those places that is family owned and run and it shows! From the greeting when you walk through the door to the quality of food! We try to go out of our way to support small businesses! This was definitely worth the stop!

    Great food!!! We got the 1/2 lb burger and fries. My friend and I split it. Delicious and plenty of fries! The waitress was so nice and talkative. We loved it all!! Will come back again! Also the reason we stopped was the great yelp review!! This is the Coffee mocha milkshake

We were quickly greeted and told to sit wherever we liked, so we grabbed a booth by the window. As soon as we settled in, our waitress came over for drink orders, already cracking jokes with a wicked sense of humor that kept us laughing the entire meal. She suggested mozzarella sticks as an appetizer -- and I'm so glad she did. They were cooked to absolute perfection (chef's kiss). We ordered the ribeye steak with potatoes, veggies, garlic bread, and cheddar broccoli soup. The soup was incredible -- rich, flavorful, and packed with real broccoli, so you knew it was fresh. Then the steaks came out... and honestly, they were better than steaks we've had at high-end steakhouses. Perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. Throughout the whole experience, our waitress kept our sodas full and somehow always appeared right when we needed something -- we never once had to ask. That level of attentiveness is rare. We decided to grab pie to go since we were heading to a hotel for the night. Before we could even mention it, she brought us plastic forks and a bag with our dessert. That kind of thoughtfulness completely sums up the service here. This will absolutely be a regular stop for us anytime we travel through Ritzville. I was beyond impressed -- amazing food, amazing service, and an experience that felt genuine from start to finish.

The restaurant seems to be a family ran business. Sadly, this review isn't good. We went on Sunday around 11:30 AM. The restaurant wasn't busy, only 3 other tables there. We ordered a basket of buttermilk biscuits as an appetizer. My husband ordered a Loaded Breakfast Burrito. My mom ordered the Florentine Benedict with house potatoes. I ordered the classic Eggs Benedict. It took 30 minutes to get our appetizer of biscuits. The restaurant wasn't busy, so I don't know why it took so long. It took another 10 minutes to get our food. 40 minutes for food is ridiculous, especially classic breakfast food! Our server didn't come by with any update while we waited. My husband loved his breakfast burrito! My mom enjoyed her Florentine Benedict. I didn't like my Eggs Benedict. The Benedict serving was huge! The hollandaise sauce covered half the plate! The portion of the smoked ham was generous, but not proportional. The amount of ham was too salty for the meal. My mom and I agreed the hollandaise sauce was overwhelming and bland. I added pictures of our leftover Eggs Benedict, still so much hollandaise sauce left. The hash browns were salty to me, but I am sensitive to salt. I'd come back for the biscuits. The portions were big, but bigger isn't always better. Bene's, another breakfast restaurant down the street is exceedingly better for Eggs Benedict.

I could have had a banana milkshake but they use syrup and not fresh banana and that's just not my thing. My traveling partners had vanilla, mocha, and peach (using canned peaches) flavors and after taking a taste of them all I can easily say that this place knows how to make a great shake! Price was $4.00 for a small, which is more than reasonable. I wasn't even able to look at the wall and a half of salt and pepper shakers before my shake came out. Very fast service. Make sure you take a few moments to appreciate the collection, it is truly unique. However, it was the crop circle newspaper clippings and the city award that hangs on the wall thanking the aliens. A fun picture opportunity! The inside dining room is very small but there is a clean, spacious, outdoor seating under a gazebo. If I travel through here again I will definitely get a famous burger. It was too early for me to give that a shot but everywhere I read (and a first hand account from my mom) people say that these burgers are to die for. I'm making mental note to pass back through.
