Zeke`s Drive-In in Gold Bar

Huge crowds, but quick service. Great onion rings, burgers, and shakes.

This is a cute local hamburger joint. Nice place for a little indulgence with the family. The french fries were cooked to perfect. There are a couple of cats that hang out with you and adds an entertainment factor.

Fast service and good food. I loved the fresh onion rings.

Killer Shakes after a nice hike.

I give this place five stars because it's an authentic slice of Americana. It's fast food with a soul. It's run by real people, and it has a classic feel. Some of the food is great for the price, and some of the food is a little bit mediocre.The shakes are excellentThe Fries, solidBurgers, solidHotdogs, difficult to eat but they're my favoriteMozzarella sticks, goodFried mushrooms, mixed opinions on this oneJalapeno popper, dislike

Award winning place right here! This is one of them small town places that you never forget, and you look forward to stopping for some great food. The staff cook great, the service is speedy, and they even offer covered and uncovered seating. Great family food right here. Highly recommended!

Been coming here for at least a decade now. Anytime I'm in the area I will almost always stop in & grab something to eat. Anything here is good!

Perfect way to end a long hike, menu has lots of option, highly suggest the milkshakes! Hamburgers are great, doggy friendly! And we got our fluff a me at patty. Pretty cheap. Soo worth the stop

Milk shakes are what you go to zeeks for. Burgers are over priced for being just average. Fries are fries. Their ranch is really good. And their location being what it is they tend to be really busy on Fri, Sat, and Sun, with pass travelers. Typically its not the speediest place either no matter how busy they are. So if your in a hurry keep driving. In to Sultan to the west or to the east your next burger isn't until Coles corner. .

I've been going to Zeke's since I was very little in the mid 90s, when my family would go up to Wallace Falls. Back then, Gold Bar seemed so far out in the middle of nowhere from North Bothell, despite my neighborhood bring rural too, but it was worth the drive. Fast forward, and it's still worth the drive. An absolute essential stop after hiking, snow sports, Leavenworth day trip, or just out in the area. One of the few remaining places where you can get a large burger for $7! The food is still awesome, and now I get to share it with another generation, taking my nephews when we are out that way.

This was my first time vising Zeke's Drive In. I had the Mushroom Swiss Deluxe burger, tried some onion rings and a caramel shake. The burger buns were toasted to perfection, the mushrooms tasted great and full- flavored and the patty was juicy, flavorful, freshly cooked to order. The onion rings were gigantic and tasted so fresh, with just the right balance of batter to complement the onion. I tasted most (if not all) of the ingredients in both the burger and the onion rings. This was possible without a bunch of salt like you get at so many places. My only negative is that I could not stop myself and I ate the whole burger instead of eating until I was satisfied. I do not drink shakes or eat cream very often; however, the caramel shake was delicious as well. I could not finish it because I was so full, but wow! This was a great birthday dinner all fresco!

Best post hike food you'll ever have. Solid shake flavors, good selection overall.

Popular spot. Beautiful park like setting in back for sitting social distant. Good food and fast. The line was long but it went surprisingly quick! The staff was very friendly , patient and polite :-)

Very small and cool place by the road. I had an Elk burger which it was really tasty. People were friendly there

My cousin and I stopped in here after a hike and the food was delish! Nothing fancy, but quite tasty, big portions, and the price was nice. I also like their unusual flavor options for shakes and the fact that the burger buns were toasted was a nice touch. Service was quick and friendly. We sat on the outdoor picnic tables to eat.

We stop at Zeke's every year on our way home from eastern Washington. Great burgers, reasonable prices

Had to try the elk burger for the novelty of it. It's ok, just tastes like a normal burger but drier. Also had the blackberry milkshake and the apple pie milkshake. These were both disappointing as they barely put any fruit or pie in them so they pretty much tasted like vanilla milkshakes. I wouldn't return here.

I've stopped here a few times over the years and every time I have gotten a great burger. Fast friendly service and great food. You can't ask for more. Plenty of clean picnic tables for outdoor dining on a fine day.

Service was good,shakes really good,onion rings need a little more work.

Shakes are really good and they have lots of shake flavors. Very high quality burgers and fries. Nice places to sit outside and inside.

Good place to rest , hang out and have decent food

I got a hamburger basket ($8) and was hoping for a milkshake but the machine was broken. I added mushrooms for a $1 extra and it was good. Larger than I expected too! The fries are not great. Fantastic location to the major trails.

I love the elk burgers and fries here! I always stop by after a hike. The staff are so friendly and the food is so good. Their onion rings aren't made the way I like, but that just means I won't order them. They have a nice area for outdoor seating as well. I always reccomend this place to friends (:

Food gets a 3/5. About as generic of a burger joint as you can get. It will satisfy your hunger, but it won't be something to write home about. Herfys is better. Zips is better. Figure it out.It gets an extra star because the bathrooms were not a hassle and pleasant.

Best milk shake I've had after a hike off Highway 2. They use generous amounts of real fruit in their shakes. The onion rings are great, too. Very friendly staff. Inexpensive. This is a great stop if you're passing by on Highway 2 whether you just finished a long trail, a day of snowy adventures up at Steven's Pass, tubing and rafting, or you just want a really good burger and milk shake!

Great spot to reenergize after a long day in the mountains. Diggin' the onion rings.

I've driven the hour and a half from Seattle just for their strawberry milkshakes made with real fruit. Worth a stop.

The elk burgers here are a great treat after coming back from the pass!

Drive in or pick up your food from the window and have a seat in the dining area in the back. Food came out hot and made to order. We had chicken tenders "recommend", hamburger "not quite" and fries "recommend" I would stop here again.

Like this place even needs a rating. Great shakes & burgers... efficiently run too! Nice options for indoor & outdoor seating. I've decided that when I retire I'm opening up a place like this to rake in the cash when the highway 2 traffic piles up on the weekends! Must visit when you're hungry and tired of sitting in traffic and worth the wait when they get busy.

Awesome my moms been coming here sense she was a little girl now its a family tradition

We stopped because we were in the area and saw good feedback. We had deluxe burgers and they tasted kind of old, the fries were ok and the milkshake was good. Nice people but for $27.00 bucks I feel like we should have enjoyed our burgers more.

Nice outdoor areas peferct for quaruntine. Good selection and prices. Lines were loooong

The prices are very reasonable, the deluxe cheeseburger is one of the best drive-in burgers I've ever had, and the milkshakes are heavenly. Can't recommend enough!

Great food, but the counter staff are not very friendly.

Average.Fries don’t have salt and are pretty plainBurger tasted dry and over cookedShakes were goodI think I’ve been there before and it was better

This place is fantastic. I've been going here since I was a kid and it has barely changed in 30+ years. No frills, no gimmicks, and more milkshake flavors that you could shake a stick at. Is my opinion biased because it will always remind me of trips there with my dear-departed father? You're damn right, but they also make food that tastes great. Whether it be post-hike, post-ski, or just because, definitely check them out.

Burgers and fries should be an easy win, not here, we ordered the elk burger, it came with tater sauce and nothing else! The milk shakes were not great either. We had made our order to go like most places that are burger & fri quick stops so we couldn’t simply ask for other toppings. Then the burger itself was dry and no flavor, elk should be juicy and full of great taste, these were the worst tasting burgers we’ve had. So so disappointed. We thought after reading the other reviews we were in for a great meal....then the price was painful on top of having very plain no flavor food. We will not return here ever again.

Couldnt take pics, I ate it to fast. Lol Deluxe cheese burger, fries & banana shake. I love Zeke's! Great food, friendly staff.

Great burgers, chili cheese fries, and shakes

Awesome food, burgers, sandwiches, shakes etc. We always stop at Zeke's Drive In when on Hiway 2. Ruebens are great too!

Pros: decent prices, fries were perfectly crispy and the milkshakes are AMAZING. Seriously, get a milkshake! The cookies and cream milkshake was like a high quality McFlurry!Cons: atmosphere was lacking (semi-clean picnic benches, no decor inside, no background music) and the burgers were overcooked (completely dry)

Having never been to Zeke's I didn't know what to expect. But my wife said she had been there and that I wouldn't be disappointed. I was pleasantly surprised. The food was hot and fresh. The milkshake was wonderful. If you are traveling over Stevens Pass a stop at Zeke's is highly recommended.

Really enjoy stopping here after a hike!! Food is great overall, staff are friendly, and food came out fast even when busy. The owner or manager is also really nice and caring and likes to take care of the local community!!

awesome burgers! friendly staff! always a stop for me on the way back home from eastern wa

The food is always and consistently good here. It is our ritual to stop here on our way back from the mountains. The burgers are yummy and fries crisp & tasty. You cannot go wrong here.

Decent food for a burger joint. Better standard drive thru burger joint! I may have had the bar up too high. I had heard such GREAT things.

Great food after riding trails! Decent prices as well!

So good after a nice hike. 🤤

The burgers are the best and so much bigger than you think. So good and worth the trip.
