Sno-cap Drive In

Sno Cap Drive In is a wonderful flashback to a time that is long gone (at least for me)… I am visiting Redmond, OR, house and puppy sitting, while members of my family are in Europe and I was looking for a place to have a Good Burger. I looked up best burgers and Sno Cap came up. Now, I remember that there were “Sno Cap Drive Ins” in Santa Cruz, CA when I was growing up there but that was A Long time ago and I haven’t seen a good old fashioned Drive In in my area in decades! So, I was happy when I went to “Sno Cap”. The place has the charm of an old time Drive In and it has the feel of a family run business. The two high school age girls that took my order were friendly and obviously local because several of the other customers seemed to know them. It was just a very friendly family atmosphere in the diner. I ordered the Double Deluxe Cheese Burger with fries and it was delicious (compliments to the lady chef, working the kitchen area!) The Burger was Huge, cooked to perfection and nice and messy! The patties were juicy and lots of cheese covered both of them! The condiments of ketchup, mayonnaise, tomato, pickles and onion were expertly applied to the large sesame seeds bun and all came together to make one of the best burgers I’ve ever had in A Long Time! And the order of fries that came along with the burger were crispy and delicious. They are the same size fry as a McDonalds fry but Sno Caps fries are fresh, crispy, not soggy and dry like they’ve been sitting around under a heat lamp. Sno Cap’s fries are made to order, so they are piping hot, lightly salted, crisp, crunchy and not greasy! What can I say, other than, I am now A Fan of the Sno Cap Drive In! They are a Great Place and a wonderful example of what Really Good Hamburger Places Used to be and what they Should Still Be! Let Me Tell You, I’m jealous Redmond, OR, yeah, they have In N Out Burger in California But Oregon has Sno Cap, which is So much Better!

Wonderful little hole in the wall. Came with my two kiddos who were absolutely delighted by the milkshakes. Our server was super friendly and helpful. Everyone working there had smiles and great attitudes. I ordered fish and chips. My oldest had chicken strips and my youngest chose a grilled cheese. Everything was good but the grilled cheese had an odd metallic sort of fruity flavor? It's hard to describe lol. But that's why 4 stars instead of 5. We will definitely return when we come down again next year.
