Two thumbs up! Stopped in on a whim after a long business drive and totally not disappointed! From their friendly greeting when you walk through the door, to their charming decor, and the fun names on their menus, everything about this place is spot on! It was so hard to decide, but I finally chose their 57 Chevy Cheeseburger, warm German potato salad, and a chocolate shake to go. OMGEEE! Generous portions and reasonable prices, as well as an incredibly tempting menu that also includes buffalo, lamb, alpaca, chicken, and fish sandwiches and yummy side dishes, this curious foodie will be making this a habit!
Awesome hole in the wall. Travelled almost 20 miles to try these burgers and fries and was not disappointed.They locally source a lot of their food, and they take the time to see what foods work best for what. Their potatoes are actually fried in rice oil, and are delightfully crisp, with a lack of grease. (They are also unlimited so bring an appetite ♡)They serve burgers that are harder to find, such as lamb, buffalo, and alpaca. The toppings are all on the side so freshness is always on your plate.Will be returning again, if not for the food, but the amazingly kind staff. Thanks guys, please keep up the great service!
Great food and atmosphere with 50s nostalgia and photos of hot rods everywhere. The food is nothing fancy, but exactly what one would expect from a burger diner. The ingredients are all locally sourced if possible and clean, the owner himself informed us. The entire staff was super friendly...best service Ive had anywhere. Definitely try this gem!
Good burgers, friendly and good service. Every time weve gotten food from there, its been tasty and hot. They really have rated 5 stars every time, but this time the fries were almost cold and really dry. Im sure it will be better next time.
It was awesome. The food was great. Its a shame that they are closing for good do to a round about going in
Worst experience I’ve ever had. Not worth the drive as others have claimed. First we got water that smelled like the sewer and tasted like a swamp. Then the fries were over cooked. Almost as if they had been fried yesterday and the fried again today. Hollow inside. The burger had no flavor and the onions on my patty melt were practically raw. The bread was stale and the service was bad. Not worth the money. I’ll never go back. Take the extra drive to Helvetia. Much better food.
Do sorry you have to close. We will miss you! All for a roundabout at this corner.
This place is worth the drive for great food, friendly patronage, and also great atmosphere! I have celiac disease and I really appreciated being able to eat their homemade fries!
We love this place it has a great 50 atmosphere, Della is awesome the food we had pulled pork sandwiches and coleslaw and they do have the best Milk Shakes in Washington County, OREGON
Delicious little hidden Burger spot in the middle of the Hillsboro farmlands. Unlimited fries with each burger order. Such a nostalgic feel with license plates and photos of classic cars as well as cars that have visited the location.Unique meats like buffalo and others that are slipping my mind. Though the patties werent too big, it was still juicy and delicious. What really surprised me were the shakes actually... Fricken amazing. Get the coffee Oreo one for sure!Great local business
Very homey place. essentially a burger joint, they have a large number of burger combinations and an impressive number of beers on tap. very friendly staff.
Great stop with long time friends and clients ! Organic selections and great burgers in Historic Schools, Oregon . As the city creeps ever closer it is awesome to have a place to come to that reminds me of the country I grew up in right here . Former Twin Oaks Tavern . The place is dipped in History and bike and motorbike friendly !
The old fashion ambience of this place in a rustic old fashion drive threw sense is great. The owner is on point and single-handedly will take care of you. The milkshakes have to be the best milkshake I ever tasted. This local hidden gem is a Beaverton must.
Such a great place to end up after a morning paddling on the Tualatin River. Service, servers and owner were the best! Food was pretty good. Beer was cold and their selection of domestics and micros was excellent. Id go here again. Please dont expect big town, hand ground, burgers and hand cut fries. Expect friendly people and serviceable food. Well be back.
Adorable 50s style car-themed diner. All burgers and sandwiches are named after old time cars. Healthy, organic food, big portions, friendly staff.
This place has such a wonderful vibe with a great staff. Really huge portions, delicious food, very fun atmosphere. They even offer GF buns, and GF chicken strips.
Nice place. Too bad it is closing in the near future. The road is expanding and this place is getting torn down.
We have gone here for many years and love it so much we took our 2oldest grandkids and they are hooked now also. We finally got our date night and this was the winner as always.
Before heading out to their Hillsboro location which is a 20 minute drive I checked their website for hours open and any special hours or closures. It says Sundays are open until 8:30pm. I made the drive and arrived at 6:30pm to find they were CLOSED. I saw at least three other customers arriving and being just as upset. Clearly the owners do not care about their customers and the wasted time and disappointment caused by their lack of professionalism.
The Barracuda Mahi Mahi fish burger is the best grilled fish on the West Side! Fresh hand cut fries are addictive, so take advantage of the refills! Beer selection is delicious AND THEY DO GROWLERS! For dark beer lovers like me, they have more than one dark Beer on tap! Great to see Cruise in open and back to business!Support your local diner and Cruise In !!
Not a bad place to eat if you dont mind eating burgers that are like hockey pucks.
The best burger around. They have lots of non beef options, and lovely shakes.
Ambiance is nice, service mediocre, food was not so good. Fries over cooked, hamburger was lacking. Red Robin would have been a better bet!
This was the first time that my husband and our small daughter and myself had gone out to eat since the pandemic. We called ahead and asked if they had outdoor seating and they let us know that they did. we were so impressed by the cleanliness of the service and the changes theyve made to make sure that service is as little contact as possible. All items even for table service or now served in to-go containers and single-serve packets for condiments. All of the workers were masked up which we really appreciated. the food was incredible and the service was great and we are super excited to have a place we feel safe going for the rest of this crazy time!
The atmosphere and the fries were good. Service was attentive. I dont go out to eat for the change in scenery. If I make a better burger at home, I cant recommend your burgers to the world. I ordered the hot rod Burger. Burger meat was dry, well done, not seared. I didnt specify medium rare, maybe its my own fault. Patty was thick and bland. I liked the quantity of beef, but a smash style burger is usually a less dry less bland burger. Thin smash more patties, use the same weight of beef. They cook faster when theyre smashed and dont have to dry out as much. Or, if the meat is dry, then load the burger with bacon cheese peppers and sauces. Maybe do both.Salt is a nice seasoning on a burger.
I’m going to give it another chance but my first experience was not good.I stopped in late afternoon to pickup a couple of burgers and fries on my way home. I’ve passed this place 100 times and decided to give it a shot based on good reviews.I ordered the 57 burger with fries. I was most excited about the fresh hand cut fries they boast but I was super disappointed. I couldn’t finish them. They were maybe cut and fresh four days ago. Not good. The burger was just ok, definitely not worth $12 or $13. The patty was a small puck style, the bacon a little too dry and I guess I didn’t read the fine print that you have to ask for condiments. I did remember to ask for extra pickles and as you can see in the picture, I’m not sure if the guy was being funny or what. ??On a side note, I almost got a milkshake but $6.75? That’s outrageous.Will try again, maybe just stop in for fries and if I’m feeling spendy get the milkshake. I’ll update this review if that happens.
Cute place. GREAT fries & shakes. Friendly, funny people. Fast service.
Stopped in for lunch the other day and it was so good I think my family back. Kids had a good time and wife enjoyed it! I recommend giving the German potato salad a try. Never heard of it before nor tried it. Good stuff...
This is a great place for lunch or dinner and the food is right out of the 50s. Nancy, the owner, make sure all of its locally-sourced and organic and healthy for you. The staff was excellent in their service for our birthday party for our new Guatemalan friend. Thank you Nancy and staff for a great time
Wonderful for food allergies and intolerances, and just lots of tasty options in general. 2 kinds of gluten free buns (Jensens and Udis), multiple meat types like alpaca and Mahi Mahi, and gluten free fries and chicken strips. Even offer all ingredient labels to review for any questions! Only thing I think could be pretty easily gluten free that wasnt, was their teriyaki sauce (normal soy sauce currently in it). Might get a bit hard to park if it gets very busy, but no idea if thats normally an issue (I came in around 3pm on a weekday).I had the Jensen brand gluten free bun, with grass fed buffalo, and grilled onions. Fries and even added a single chicken strip to try for like $2 (I had a bite before the picture). Sysco spicy BBQ sauce which they have on an online gluten free list (had modified food starch of unlisted origin on the ingredients). Very tasty and lean meat. Plenty of soft onions with enough brown to add flavor. Chicken strip was nicely crunchy!
So I know this has been since the pandemic, but Id love to rate this place higher. I just cant though. I got the Lamborghini Burger (lamb burger w/ tzatziki). It felt like nothing more than a frozen burger in the flat top with absolutely zero seasoning. My wife had the buffalo burger which had the exact same feel. No seasoning and frozen patty.Honestly, the only reason they got 3 stars was because the fries and house ranch were pretty good.Im disappointed as a car guy and this place is know for cruise ins and car clubs. The memorabilia is cool with the classic car theme. Id love to see the place during a car club event as Im sure that its a bunch of fun. The food however is lacking which was a huge disappointment. And for close to $50 for two burgers, two adult beverages, plus appropriate tip... Very sub par.
Whole family ate this like champs! Even the kiddo agreed its better than Red Robin!
Fantastic food. I dare say some of the best food Ive had in Oregon since I moved here two years ago. Plan to visit again for sure!
This was so nice. We had a group and the time we went no one else was in there. They just let us sit and visit. The food was just as good as before the Coronavirus shutdown. Im so glad they are back open with the same great service and huge menu. I had the chicken strips and they were awesome. I had a salad with the strips. It was a BIG salad. Yummmmy!
Great food. Really good hamburgers. Unfortunately, the wait staff was rude and pushy. We arrived at 7:30pm - knowing they closed at 8pm. We were told we must leave precisely at 8pm, as they were closing. We totally understood. However, the wait staff kept coming back, reminding us we had only a few minutes left before we would have to leave. They pushed us to pay for our meal immediately, told us we needed to bus our own table, and then put out the vibe that they just really wanted us to leave-- which we did-- at precisely 7:58pm. .. . .taking the rest of our food and eating in the parking lot! I think the best way to accommodate an anxious wait staff that just wants to leave on time would be to close your business one hour before the wait staff end of shift time. So. . .if wait staff goes home at 8pm... .lock your doors at 7pm! Now everyone is happy. Customers wont feel as though they are inconveniencing wait staff, and wait staff can leave their shift on time. It will, unfortunately, be a very long time before we ever attempt to dine at this restaurant again. Maybe when they hire more friendly wait staff. . . .ppl who enjoy their work and show it by their attitudes. The food, however, was darn good
I really enjoy popping by this place!The German potato salad is so yummy and different. They have lots of great choices and my favorite is the Buffalo burger!
Actually, Im not a burger fan so this place really isnt for me, BUT my 14yo daughter loves it. :) So, Im sure the burgers are delicious. Super cute, quaint rural restaurant.
The Patacons are to die for! Just sheer perfection, as are the fried plantains with sour cream. The owner is a super nice lady who runs and does all the cooking herself. I cant wait to go and try more of her dishes!
Inside dining, all food delivered to the table in to go boxes. Bus your own table. Same good food as always!
Stopped in the other day while driving through OR. The overall experience wasnt great. My Pint of beer came in a 12 once plastic cup. The chicken strips were okay but not worth the money. My $12 burger was super small and not even close to worth it. Oh, and we had to pay and tip before our food came out. Once the food was delivered, we never saw our host ever again. He got his tip and was done with us. We wont be going back ever again.
I was quite disappointed in the customer service. The burgers were alright, they had a lot of variety on the menu. But their service was awful, we didnt feel like guests at all. Our waitress sat down at our table and started petting my kids as shes taking our order, i was completely shocked that she thought that this was appropriate. Then after sitting outside in the hot sun for 20min without water, my kids had asked our waitress excuse me, can I have water...multiple times which is when I just asked a different staff to help us. I was shocked that we never got an im sorry or any attempt to please us. Be prepared to pay before you eat too.
Tasty burger patties but were way too small for the price of $13, fries were dry tasted weird and appeared old and seemed stale or too overcooked. Huge waste of condiments I had like half a jar of pickles on my plate. Would eat burger again if price was reasonable like typical price of $8.95 or $8.99 sounds beyond reasonable
They have made this a really fun stop in the country.
Friendly courteous staff. Lots of spacing between tables inside. Outdoor seating also available. Great burger options.
I have been there at least ten times and noticed that food is often really good but service not so much. There are lots of kinds of burgers, free fries refills, a few different beers and awesome milkshakes. Also, you can taste good quality ingredients in your burgers. The place has a unique decoration and it’s usually full. They are not open every day.
Staff is wonderful. Inviting helpful. The food is amazing as well!!
Great 50s style diner with large selection of burgers. My favorites are the GTO and the Cadillac.
Great burgers and fries and sweet potato fries. And shakes. The side salads are good instead of fries too. My mother in law has a very strict diet but still really likes this place. She gets a lettuce wrap burger. Kids love it here and get free vanilla ice cream with sprinkles. Its an old fashioned diner and I guess the person who started it is a cardiologist and the fries are fried in cardiologist-approved oil. Also, whole wheat buns are offered, yay!
Always delicious. Amazing burgers and beers on tap. Worth any drive - love this place!
Cruise In Country Diner is my favorite burger place in town, hands down. To be fair, though, they do offer quite a few different things on the menu. I cant say Ive tried them all, but everything I have had was delicious!The beef is fresh and flavorful, the turkey is meaty (rather than a ground patty), the chili is robust and savory, and the fries, oh yum, the french fries! The shakes are great too! Everything is fresh and made to order.If theyre busy, get comfy and enjoy the decor, it may take some time for your order to arrive but it is always worth it. Cruise In has a retro diner vibe with a very fun and funky classic car theme. They have a dedicated parking lot that usually has just enough space, but take care when youre leaving if you have a low profile vehicle; Ive kissed the pavement more than once by accident.Price wise, I would say theyre middle tier, with high quality and fair portions (some a little more than fair, even). They make a great dinner date night with a beautiful view of the surrounding countryside from their outdoor patio.This place is worth the drive!
Once I had a bite of my burger it’s the only place we go. It was the first time I eat everything off the plate. The fries (bottomless) have the skins on. We have always had awesome service. Love the decor. When I want a burger this is where I come. Highly recommend this place.
The food was amazing! And the conversation with the owner was great as well, definitely will go again!
Great service and amazing food.
Cultivated by a brilliant research scientist and his lovely family who studied nutrition among other things for decades.Serving only grass-finished meats and dairy, sourcing local veggies, they feature an exclusive low-glycemic potato fry cultivated by generations of the scientists family, in Oregon!Got a thing for classic motors and memorabilia? This modestly sized diner is full of blasts from the past, and a few cultural road signs that may ease you into staying in the moment, and enjoy time spent with the one(s) youre with just a little bit more.Check them out whether you live in Washington county or are just heading west of Portland to see the coast. The scenic drive has epic sunsets in store for you. Just remember they are closed for business Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. I hope to see you there!
Always delicious burgers and beer. Weekends get packed so keep that in mind, but usually some cool vintage cars lined up outside to check out if there’s a wait. Endless yummy fries, amazing milkshakes/malts ..craft beer and food. If you’re a burger lover, this is a must stop shop to add to your venues. I’d say average prices for the quality with some unique burger choices as well. Vintage items all around give it that yesteryear feeling that’s hard to come by anymore in this digital world.
We came into the facility at 7:30, a half an hour before they closed. We were kindly greeted and seated, then as soon as we sat down the server immediately rushed us, said hey we close in 30 minutes very unprofessional. They were rushing us through the ordering process breathing down our necks the whole time. Then when served our food in a To go box. I was very unsure if I was allowed to stay and eat, or they were forcing us to leave. Overall, very unpleasant experience.P.s the house salad was very unpleasant, it was plain lettuce with 4 small cherry tomatoes...very disappointing
Always fresh and delicious 😋
Always fresh made, local ingredients. Love the retro car themes. Fun and friendly folks. Great food and service.
Nice place, plenty of auto memorabilia around. They give you ketchup packets instead of bottles, so we had to ration ketchup like it was world war 1 with their unlimited fries.
This is a small, local, burger, sandwiches, and shakes cafe. My kids both say they have the best burgers in our area. Tons of shake flavors, root beer floats, a few other dessert options, and a few unique menu items like alpaca burgers and brats. Basic old fashioned cafe tables or booths. To go orders are a great option if its busy and you dont want to wait for a table. Menu and decor is car themed. Save room for the marionberry crisp.
Great food and service. We drove an hour to meet family here for a birthday lunch. Its a beautiful drive. I wouldve given it 5 stars if we werent harassed about our service animal. Clearly the management is not knowledgeable of the laws. She said the dog appeared to be begging and questioned if he was legit. He was wearing his vest and license tag. She seemed a bit rude which made us uncomfortable. Unfortunately, we most likely wont return. We left a generous tip regardless of her poor people skills as her staff was much more polite. Other than that, its a quaint, high-end quality burger joint with the fifties flair. There is indoor and outdoor dining, its very casual. Popular with bikers, most likely due to the lovely country location. I recommend it if you dont have a service animal unless one of their outdoor tables is available.
Excellent everything. Really great food quality. A local favorite, this is a classic diner feel that takes you back to a simpler, less hurried time. Excellent burgers and amazing fries from the best potatoes anywhere. The chilli is also really good. Kids loves the all-fruit peach smoothies!
Service was very slow! People who walked in after us were getting seated and having their orders taken before us. We literally had to ask for a table and then flag down a Waiter. Their Milkshakes could definitely use some work. I ordered a Chocolate Milkshake and it was barely Chocolate. Their burgers are delicious though and honestly made the wait well worth it!
Great burgers, great milkshakes, and a nice staff that makes you feel welcomed. Love that its not high profile and you can jusy drop by for some good food.
Love their Burgers and Potato Fries, Lots of Road Signs everywhere in the Restaurant. I’m afraid when Road Construction happens it will have to be Moved to a New Location. It will be very Sad if we had to Close this Place Down Permanently. Rather to put a New Traffic Signal or a New Roundabouts is what the Website Said. I wish we can save that Restaurant.Unfortunately Washington County has plan to replace 4 Way Stop Sign into Larger Roundabouts & putting in a New Traffic Signal will also takeout a Diner Restaurant as well. It’s Too Bad So Sad that this Place will need to Go. It has been a Great times together at a Diner Restaurant & our Last Day is on June 20th on Fathers Day & I bet it will be Busy & in order to say Goodbye to that Restaurant.
Came back to see if she responded.... My child was not screaming. Clearly if you have kids dont come here. The management is full of it. WOW. WOW. WOW.ETA after the response:While I appreciate your response. I think it does a disservice to your restaurant. So, for that I have to change to a 1 star. You threw your new employee under the bus. Not cool. The owner and manager are responsible, it starts at the top. He specifically said the manager, and was not comfortable addressing the volume of my child. Your food IS NOT the same. You even stated that below in a different unprofessional response to a recent review. I think maybe COVID is having a heavy impact on your attitude and customer service. It may be a good idea to take that into consideration. You lost a lot of longtime customers from YOUR actions alone. I ALWAYS recommended your restaurant, and had only wonderful things to say. And to address the issue with the table close behind that moved.... Technically you shouldnt have seated two parties that close due to the mandatory 6 ft social distancing. Please take things that are said into consideration. The best business owners take construction criticism and make appropriate changes. They dont get defensive and blame others. Do better. Good luck.Original review:Its rare that I leave a review, but this one needed to be left. I have always loved coming here, one of my favorite restaurants. Had never had anything but a great experience, food and service had always been fantastic. Last night was not the same. The young man that served us was fantastic. It seemed he may have been new since he was being taught job duties behind the counter. Our food was definitely not the quality weve raved about before. That part I couldve gotten past.... The thing that lost my business was the fact that the manager asked the server to ask me to keep my 20month old quiet! She did not do it herself. Yes, my child was louder than normal, because she was happy and excited! She loved the atmosphere, the pictures and the loud motorcycles and cars she saw. Such a happy baby girl! As a parent though, I was CLEARLY attempting to keep her more on the quiet side. She was not running ramped, throwing things, screaming or making a mess, at all. Just a happy baby showing her excitement. I also got rude looks from the individual that Im assuming was the manager.All in all, I wil never go back. The 3 stars were purely gained from the young man we had serving us, and knowing that every other time I had gone there it was great. If my child cant show excitement out and about there is absolutely no way I will be in support of your business. Beyond upset by the actions of the manager. Not professional at all.
Delicious & fresh! Favorite spot for burgers and fries!
I had heard great things about this diner. Unfortunately, there was more hype than substance. The burgers were okay, they priced them like they were amazing though. I didnt use the restroom, I was told by the company I was with that It smelled like a dirty outhouse. Overall, it was worth checking out, I will never go back.*edit - no one had been in the restroom for at least 20 minutes before, so there is that. My complaint isnt as much the material quality of the food, more how it was cooked and put together. No need to make assumptions about my food preferences. I like good food, your was not that for me. Being natural and chemical free does not automatically equate to good.
Cozy diner at a country crossroad. Delicious burgers and generous portions of milk shakes. Our server did not know if the fruit shakes contained real fruit or just flavored syrup. My blackberry shake had plenty of fruit. Serving local beers as well. We had a nice table outside and service was not affected by the outside location. The place was full at our lunchtime meal but the kitchen was able to keep up.
Classic charms and REALLY good food.
This place is a great pit stop in the middle of a busy intersection. So glad to find this place. Even better, its right down the road from me! Not only that, but all the meats and ingredients are fresh and organic?! Done and done!
Best burgers ever! And the gluten free chicken strips are fantastic. Super down to earth and old school. Always great service and smiling people
Very good food, the only thing is I feel the price has gone up, but burgers have gotten smaller
1950s style decor. Classic car memorabilia! Great service Delicious burgers, sweet potato fries to die for! Gluten-free options available. Would highly recommend you try this cute little place out in the country.
