What more can you ask for??
We went there for dinner after the hotel stuff showered praise on them.
The place, with extremely busy decor and blue-and-red lights looks like a psychedelic den for truck drivers. The few people sitting there would vindicate my feeling.
However, the food was decent and reasonably priced. Some items on the menu looked expensive, but they apparently use fresh locally produced meat. So I guess the price is ok.
Old School Burger Joint. "The Royal" with pickles, ham and cheese... Very Nice. This place has great burgers, curly fries, and malts. It is seriously "Old School" and if you like that kind of thing this is the place to go.
FINALLY. Found the only place that we could find that serves a deep fried bacon wrapped hot dog. it was absolutely amazing. the place was super clean, staff was friendly, and the food was great. you get what you pay for. was not dissappointed in the slightest.
Good portions, fun, small diner atmosphere. Yummy food! All the sinfully delicious classics: Burgers, dogs, fries and tots and shakes! I had a chili dog with tots and a peanut butter shake. The dog was humongous! I could only eat half! Had to roll on home! 😂
This place is a diamond in the rough! It's been around forever and the burgers have been consistently tasty and fresh. It's not an inexpensive meal, however, so plan on spending around $10-$15pp for burger basket with a drink.
We love this place! We haven't been there in a long time. We talked about it and wished we were closer. We were driving through Portland and saw they were still open and just had to stop. It's so awesome to be able to have a great burger here. The walls are covered with pictures of the bygone eras with vintage cars and toys and games. It brings back great memories of years ago when life seemed simpler and more fun.
We highly recommend this wonderful little restaurant that is big on service and atmosphere.
As American diner as it gets. We got a chocolate hazelnut milkshake and onion rings. Both bomb. My wife said, I can't wait to come back for dinner."
What’s not to like about this old school burger + shake joint? All orders are togo only as well as they are short staffed due to Covid so it might take a little longer than usual (like nothing bad wait time wise).
Burgers are what you’d expect and are straight up delicious. They have soft serve which makes the shakes taste extra good. Fries are crisp and seasoned just right.
I love the burgers and fries!!! My milkshake was suppose to be mint and Oreo but there was not very much Oreo and didn't taste like mint at all :( I was kinda disappointed but other than that the burger and seasoned fries were delicious 🤤
This is an old drive in burger joint from the 30's. They have original burgers and other menu items such as a green river soda (one of my favorites). They do have ice cream items too. They have slot machines. All ages are welcome. I did take a picture a large part of the menu. I also took pictures of some event that will be going on this summer. Every year they have events.
A neat thing you see when you walk in is all the memorabilia they have ALL over in the building. I think they also have older video games (like packman) that you can play. This is my #1 place in town to get a burger. On the other hand the older lady at the register wasn't friendly when I called to order. I asked if she could tell me about the milkshakes she has. She said there are too many and she doesn't have time to go through them. When I got to the restaurant (5min later) no customers were in there, just myself. We ended up not ordering milkshakes. If you like this review please give it a thumbs up.
Great place to go for local American Comfort food. Was extremely busy and A small wait time but was very worth it. The milkshake was Delicious. Thick but not too heavy to suck through the straw with very consistent flavor. The Double bacon cheeseburger was done properly. A lot of flavor. Seasoned well. Crispy bacon with full flavor. Definitely will be going back to this place. as it has been around 100yr or so for good reason.
What a great burger place! Box and bagged up nicely. The milkshake was fantastic too. The sweet lady at the counter was very friendly. Yes, they have too many flavors to be asking about milkshake flavors. Read the menu, folks! I will definitely recommend this place to those who come visit Portland.
Both of us had swiss cheese burgers. She had a licorice shake (which she loved). The burger was very good and the fries were PERFECT! We were greeted with a smile and food served quickly. An old fashuoned burger joint. We will most certainly return.
Thanks to all the crew there!
Drove by once and decided it was a must try and boy did they not disappoint! Each time we've been there our food has been spot on! Delish, fresh and made custom to your order!! Do yourself a favor and indulge on one of their many flavors of milkshakes, they are worth every penny!!
A fun restaurant to enjoy a great burger and fries while taking in the nostalgic surroundings.
I had the namesake "Jim Dandy" with fries and chocolate shake. It was made to perfection and hit the spot.
Bonus was being able to sit down inside to eat.
There food is always great, especially the milkshakes but the best part of the restaurant is the awesome people working there. I've been helped by Diana and Liz on multiple occasions and they are always so genuinely sweet,welcoming and helpful. On the hottest day of the year I was digging around in my purse trying to come up with enough change to get a ice cream cone and it wasn't looking promising and Diana bless her heart covered it for me. I know it's just a little icecream cone (actually it was a monster but I didn't mean literally lol) but it definitely made my day. Really they both deserve raises and employees of the month bc I don't write many reviews so the place has to be pretty special to inspire me to.
Cheeseburger was good! Small wafflefries was maybe 5 fries but they were good just expected a couple more.
Great food, amazing shakes! I have double cheeseburger w/ bacon, fries, and a strawberry chocolate shake. It was all great.
I didn't experience any bad customer service, in fact going in expecting it I found everyone to be very friendly. Guy at the window greeted us and took our order like I would expect. I even had someone come by and clear our table who didn't seem upset to be doing so.
Can't wait to go back and try another shake!
I came for the vegan menu. The COVID protocols were thorough. The vegan menu was more than adequate. It is, as they say, NOT fast food. Coming here on my lunch break from work nearby I believe I will follow the advice on the window which suggests I can order ahead and pay with a card over the phone. I felt like I had been transported to the American 1960's. It was clean, service was good and it was nostalgic.
Okay, I will go ahead and say it. Top drive-in experience I’ve ever had. Menu has many options, burger was flavorful, strawberry chocolate milkshake was one to remember, and the ambiance is top notch.
Highly recommend. Looking forward to being here for the 100th anniversary! I’m making a point to be first in line!
Shakes are simply a creamy cup of yum that I can't get enough of! My first time trying the food was today. The bacon cheeseburger was quite tasty and the fries were a perfect blend of crispness without too much crunch and perfectly golden. It was good, nice and juicy. More like homemade.... however neither beats that shake. Mmmmmmm :)
Great greasy burger and great shakes at a Portland establishment that's been around for decades.
