Came through in our way to Reno. Had no complaints except that the soft serve was suuuuuper soft. So soft the cones had to come with cups because the ice cream wouldn't stay in a cone (which they did advise up about). Otherwise, the place was clean, and the staff very friendly read more

Arctic Circle - Fast Food Near Me - Elko, Nevada

The worse experience I have ever had at any establishment. I watched as a customer politely called out a few mistakes made by the order taker. The burger flipper comes out from the back takes off his apron and physically threatens the customer! To be honest they made a mistake on my order too but I just ate it. I'll never go back to this place so trashy and poor attitudes! read more

The short cashier with black hair was extremely rude. I ordered a meal and had forgotten to order fries. So i placed a separate order for fries and the cashier looked at me like i was disgusting. While waiting for my fries, she kept looking at me and rudely asked me "What are you waiting for" with a sassy tone. After i got my food, I noticed I received the wrong burger and asked them to fix it. While i waited for my item to be fixed, one of their cooks was glaring at me from the kitchen as if i had ruined his day. I also noticed their cooks do not wash their hands or change their gloves after touching non-sterile areas and before touching food. They were pretty busy during my time there, so I understood the tense atmosphere. But to take their frustrations out on a customer and give me attitude and glare at me is seriously uncalled for. I felt super uncomfortable during my time here and the food is not worth that type of experience. read more

Was pleasantly surprised stopping here on a long road trip. I didn't know what to expect with it being in a gas station. The employees were very friendly. When the food came out, it looked like a commercial. Each fry looked like it had been placed meticulously. The food was good and they give you little things of fry sauce which is nice. Give this place a shot. read more

Located inside the Sinclair this exactly what you'd expect from a gas station Arctic Circle. The staff was friendly and the food was cooked well. It's loud and a little dirty but better than I had expected. Please note, carry out only after 8:00pm. read more

I only came here once for my husband; he got the snickers shake with marshmallows (he wanted rocky road so we made it as close as possible with the add-in). Their shakes are like Blizzards. He said it was great! We went through the drive thru, and the slightly frustrating thing was being asked "anything else?" after every component of our order. I wish order takers would be more aware of how irritating that is. Just wait until you hear a pause, and find a more conversational way to find out if someone is done ordering. read more

Ugh, no food orders after 6 PM. Employees weren't wearing masks, and it was difficult to order considering the kids made me repeat my ice cream order a couple of times. Normally, the AC is pretty good, but this one is a huge disappointment. read more

Arctic Circle - Couple of ancient relics... - Fast Food Near Me - Elko, Nevada

Had stopped here on our way East and planned our trip to make it here again. Tables were clean and cashier friendly. Had mushroom swiss burgers and the mushroom flavor was great. Onion rings were hot and crispy and only were 30 cents to sub for fries. Husband use to go to another of these when growing up and said it was just as he remembered. read more

Workers have really bad attitude despite being kind and asking regular questions. To be expected!

Horrible service in the drive thru. 1st the girl mumbles so I can't understand her, then it takes a long time. Then she threw the bag at me, spilling it on the ground. No caring, or apologies. read more

I'm not a big fast food fan in general but sometimes you just kinda have to be a typical American and eat the salty, fatty deliciousness of a greasy burger and fried up French fries! This place gets a 5 for me as it's still affordable and the shakes. It seems fast food meals these days are more money than it should be. You can get a glorious shake with your meal for a very reasonable price. And the shake varieties are insane! They have tons of options and they are not stingy on adding extra bits of candy glory to your poison of passion. They also double cup your shake so the outside isn't as cold, and the cup even has clever instructions on brain freezing which the cheese dog inside me loved! (Check out photo to see it). The quality of the food was good, not too greasy. This is a solid fast food joint that I would certainly go to again. read more

See all

We decided to eat at this arctic circle because it was across the street from our hotel room and it was convenient. What a bad decision. It was awful. The burgers were so salty the were inedible. We had never had arctic circle before and won't be eating there again. read more

I keep trying to give this place chances. Any drink you get tastes like sewer water. The ice inside came with a piece of plastic in my drink. Half the time they are out of halibut, one of their claims to fame. The bag is always grease soaked as if they dump it from the fryer straight into the bag without draining your items. Burgers are griddled hockey pucks with zero taste and plenty of runny texture. I've tried and tried. The only thing worth going for is onion rings when I have a hankering. The staff is hit or miss on if they are friendly or not. read more

Where do I start, 2 people working one upfront one cook, watched over a dozen customers leave,plus people at the drive thru,this is managements fault,and the owners, this is the 2 time that this has happen, the help is rude due to being overwhelmed, refunds were being given out, and for those who waited some were over the hour long mark. Plus the health dept really needs to make a visit sad this place has gone so downhill read more

This has got to be the worst Arctic Circle around. Once again we thought we would try them. I got a waffle cone ice cream and my husband got a root beer float. By the time the girl gave it to us it was dripping all over me and my husbands truck.. the ice cream was so soft that my husbands root beer float was more like a watered down root beer shake. He told the girl it was soft and she gace him a cup and spoon. If I waited a cup of ice cream that is what I would have ordered. My husband asked me, Did I order a root beer float or root beer shake! The last time we were there I ordered fish and chips.the sign said it was cod and showed 2 big pieces of fish. When the brought it to me I had 4 small fish sticks in the basket. I took it up to the register and the lady said they were out of it and that that was what the were using. I do believe that is false advertising.Take the dam picture down and be honest with your customers. NEVER GOING BACK. WE HAVE DAIRY QUEEN TO GO TO. read more

If I could I wouldn't give this place any stars. This place is terrible, wanted to use a gift card and was turned away because they have no way to accept gift cards, but then turn around and try and sell you gift cards. Called the corporate office and complained as well that they can't update their establishments. False advertisements don't go there read more

Disappointed! Went in at 8pm on a Friday after looking online to make sure they were open. Walked in and was told they were closed even though time on the door clearly stated 10pm. The four people said they had to close early and then continued to chat and hang out. Really disappointing. read more

Never coming here again! They got out order wrong on two items! Overpriced! Two weird SF bay area types working the drive thru. Even gave us a soda lid that was cracked! read more

I hate to leave reviews like this, but honestly night & day from just 3 weeks ago from when we were there to just recently. Something seriously needs done!! We had over an hour wait in the drive up window. After at about 30 mins or so, a guy came to the window, told us they had one deep fryer. All others were down & only had 2 ppl working so were short on staff. This is all understandable, but they seemed like they were strung out on something. When we did receive the food, it was burnt & cold. The most terrible food & service we have ever had @ Arctic Circle. We love Arctic Circle as a whole, but this was totally unacceptable. read more

I love this place so much!! the foods delicious (I recommend their neutela shake) and the staff is so nice and friendly. I will definitely be coming back for years to come. read more

Driving I-80 and looking for a snack. A friend recommended Arctic Circle in Elko NV, so we stopped in. It is part of a Sinclair gas station/minimart. Went in, about 6 people waiting for orders. I was at counter for 3 minutes before Cashier took my order. Tried to get ice for soda, but machine was out of ice. I asked cashier about ice, she said in a very annoyed tone to use ice dispenser in minimart. My soda lacked right amount of sugar and bubbles, I didn't drink it. Waited 10 minutes in a dirty dining area, where half the guests were not wearing masks, and all we're waiting for food. Took my order to go and got back on road. Tater Tots were lukewarm, the cheese on burgers was cold and had a weird texture. Buns were stale. We ate the tots and threw out rest of order. I could see the staff needed more hands, but there was no excuse for the gross cold food we were served. I recommend you pack your own lunch. read more

The worst Artic circle in the Nation. The employees are friendly and try, but sadly the place is a dive and theirs new faces every time I give the place another chance. read more

Just tried to order. We waited for over 20 minutes for the wrong order. I seriously think the workers were on drugs.

The Food was cold. The employee forgot to give us straws,frysauce,and napkins I had to reminded they and it toke awhile to get my order.

If you stop off the 80 for gas at the Sinclair station that has the Arctic Circle~ just keep going into town! The Arctic Circle is a fast food place that needs to go! I pull up to a darkened window after asking a young employee who was outside smoking if they were opened. No I didn't turn around then, but I should have. The fries were okay, but I was very hungry. The burger was almost inedible! The cheese was not melted. The burger was dry and tough. The condiments were just slopped on there. Not good! I ordered a marshmallow shake. It didn't taste like marshmallows or ice cream. Just bland crushed ice with some milk in it. Like I said... just keep going into town. read more

This store is located in a gas station just north of the east freeway interchange in Elko, NV. They do have above average soft-serve ice cream, and good sweet potato fries. read more

Food was great but the service was exceptional. We are driving across country with 3 little ones who are doing their best being strapped in to car seats (aka really cranky). As we were finishing our meal, the staff brought out 3 tiny ice cream cones. An excellent Christmas present! Thanks arctic circle! read more

Horrible quality. Arctic Circle corp would be mortified. Passing thru Elko in our way home from a 2wk, multi-state road trip and thought that we'd hit Arctic Circle and lunch in the nearby Appleseed Park. Grime all over the dining room, stray fries & grease splatters everywhere. We used to have a location near our hometown so we overlooked our first impression. WRONG MOVE. I asked if condiments were located near the fountain drinks and was told that since our order was to go, they'd be included. Got out to the car only to discover that we had zero of what I'd asked for. My husband offered to run in and grab some (can't forget the fry sauce!). While he was gone, I discovered that the fries were cold & soggy. Again, tired and hungry we decided to just deal with it. When we sat down to eat we discovered dry, stale, crumbly buns, nickel sized pickles, limp onions and about 1/2tsp of ketchup on each burger. The only perk was that the fry sauce (in factory sealed packaging) was as yummy as we remembered. read more

Arctic Circle - Vile. - Fast Food Near Me - Elko, Nevada

When I was growing up Arctic Circle was just a few blocks from where I lived. I have very fond memories of me and my brothers riding our bikes to get hamburgers and ice cream cones during the summer. And sometimes we'd go there just for fries and that amazing fry sauce. This new location of Arctic Circle didn't disappoint. We stopped there on the return trip from a very fast college visit. Introduced the teenager to the simple, yet still delicious hamburger and fries. I also ordered a lime rickie, a childhood favorite. It was well...a little different than I remember probably not something I'd try again. Service was typical of a place run by teenagers, employees were chit chatting while you waited at the counter and seemed to be annoyed by the length of time it took to order. But didn't matter, those fries and the fry sauce made it worth it! Which you can buy by the bottle for $15. Just like nostalgia, sometimes a little is enough :) read more

Arctic Circle is the Best!!! Stop here when I travel to San Jose to see my sister. THe taco salad minus the beef plus chicken is to die for!! And the ice cream cones YUMMY... Definately stop here!! read more

The service was great and the food was awesome. Clean and tidy inside. The shakes are amazing.

I'm a big Arctic Circle fan. It brings back the childhood memories of getting burgers with my mom in our big boat of a car that didnt have air conditioning. They have really good shakes and delicious fries and fry sauce. What truly amazes me is how mediocre their burgers are. What I really can't understand is, no matter which store I visit, they all have stale hamburger buns. How is that? Do they do it on purpose? I'll keep going back in the hopes that I'll be surprised one day....... read more

Went through the drive- thru, it was not busy, they took forever to take and give me my order when I received it, it was freezing cold. My sons nuggets we're cold but loved over cooked, out chesse burgers were cold, and out fries had to be more then 4 hours old. Even after I called to complain they told me I was wrong because they flip and throw everything out after 5 mins, which couldn't be true. I love the artic circle in TwinFalls, Idaho! But NOT happy with this one. read more

If you want fast food, Arctic Circle is the best. Big, fresh tasting burgers and the fries and fry sauce can't be beat. They also have Pepsi products, which I especially like since most other fast food chains have Coke (yuck). read more
