My business in Woodburn yesterday on Sunday came with a 2 hour wait. I left the house no breakfast. I seldom ever eat at fast food joints but on this day this Arctic circle was like an Oasis? I never had to even leave my car with their window drive up. A simple burger fit just right. The service people here were quick, and polite 4 stars ****! and very appreciating. read more

Arctic Circle Woodburn - Fast Food Near Me - Woodburn, Oregon

New staff sucks I've lived here for a year now. Couple months ago I noticed younger girls working there and the attitude is insane like bffr. This one girl let 2 ppl use the bathroom in the drive thru and didn't have the brains to tell them to go park. Honestly should be fired.... Had me and I believe three other people in line wait an extra 8 minutes. Great work you guys read more

I came to Artic Circle with my mom because it is our favorite fast food restaurant and the only one of two in Oregon. The girl taking our order and servicing us at the window was absolutely disrespectful. She cut us off mid sentences and snatched the card reader from our hands. She needs to find a new job! A customer service job isn't for her. Extremely poor service, and terrible attitude. This happened at 11:59 am 12/15/2025. read more

At least they gave us a bunch of napkins for the melting ice cream (literally melting when it's still on her hand before she handed them to us on the drive true window). Giving themselves a tip is not cool. Is it even legal? read more

Cold burgers, filthy restaurant and staff that is rude and condescending. Sad that this place of childhood memory has gone so downhill. To have a decent arctic circle experience you have to drive to Newport. read more

BEWARE!! They serve raw meat, stale bread and burnt food. Never coming here again and will be filing a complaint with the FDA, someone can get seriously sick. Not to mention the rude employees that are always closing 30mins to an hour early that totally contradicts their schedule online read more

Horrible customer service. Persons taking orders are rude. I fully agree with other reviews that the new owner is a font of ineptitude.

This place makes you pay .25 cents for their fry sauce !! It should come with it! Not only that they give you a credit card tablet to sign with a tip recommendation on top of that! I was also served a single cheese burger with one wilted mini slice of lettuce and a bunch of gunk as condiments! I was sick for a week a made a complaint they offered me a rain check for another burger To this day I never felt the urge to go there again ! Beware this owner is a penny pincher! Not a good look folks! read more

I've been going here for a while the food is great but the new owner sucks. Apparently they don't M&M's anymore.

I really wanted to love this slice of nostalgia. If anything close to Yelp existed decades ago, I would have left a rave review. Now I question if they have gotten so bad at their food or if I had such bad taste back then. I believe it's the former. The burger was dry. I ate three bites. Not inedible but not worth the calories. There ought to be a law against their fries. Reminded me of the last time I ate BK fries, and I can make better fry sauce. NO bathroom. I wasn't there long enough to worry. read more

Of course I came here for nostalgic reasons but it did not disappoint! Food is still awesome and fry sauce is everything I remember and more. Since moving to the area we've been here twice. Employees are very friendly. Will for sure be back. read more

Been loving this place since I was a kid. Not this exact location but always worth the drive from Beaverton, or on my way south/north as a detour. Why you ask? Because the in-house made fry sauce is better than the packs or bottles you can buy. Why waste your time waiting in an hour long line when you've got this delicious place? read more

Arctic Circle Woodburn - Double Cheese, Chicken Rings and a Lime Ricky - Fast Food Near Me - Woodburn, Oregon

I am very bummed with my experience. How hard is it to mess up two sundaes? Our blackberries tasted like they were fermented and ended up not being able to finish it. Will stick to burger time. read more

Artic circle is something I grew up on. I didn't even know they existed anymore. I was in Woodburn for work. So I typed in "fast food" for a quick lunch. The only thing was that it took really long. But right now, that's pretty normal. The food was hot and fresh, and service really was outstanding for fast food these days. They were all very nice and not grumpy at all. And I enjoyed my lunch very much. I work from my car and try to not eat fast food all the time. But I would go back if I'm in woodburn again. read more

Staff was best upbeat and friendly. Food came out very fast! Didn't know any of these were still around. Soooo many shakes flavors and you can mix to make your own. Yum! read more

You don't see many Arctic Circle restaurants anymore. I had to stop. I just got a couple cheese burgers and onion rings. They were just as good as I remembered. I think what makes them stand alone from other burger joints is the special frie sauce. Soooooooo good!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Great value deal of $4.99 double cheeseburger combo. Also had an almond roca milkshake read more

Artic Circle was one of those old school fast food chains I grew up around but never bothered to try. Including this location in Woodburn, Oregon is home to seven location across the state. At the begging of a friend who is a fan, I finally got to try my first taste of Artic Circle fare. For the longest time I was convinced the chain no longer existed. I'm so glad to be wrong. Long story short, the food is fast food delicious. Burgers are small, simple, and a must have when coming to an Artic Circle. Their other sandwiches, like the fish burger is quite good as well. Couple that with a side of sweet potato fries and the "special sauce" and you're in business. Finish it off with a Lime Ricky, a purple soda with a lime kick that is sure to bring smiles and possibly diabetes. Parking is ample here and the employees are super nice. The space here is decent for groups and just right for families of small children destined for obesity. Fast food junkies and Artic Circle noobs would be dumb not to give this place a shot.. read more

Not worth the drive, and now we all understand what happened to this delicious relic. So sad, so pitiful. Which once was a treat my Aunt would promise me for getting straight A's. During the ride there, I was gitty in anticipation of my delicious cheeseburger. Disappointed and dissatisfied. Man, the cheeseburger - This one was cold, old, limp salad on it - no jucines - no flavor. I also had the fish basket, which was served hot and right. The fish was cooked well, but the fries were limp. My man had chicken strips and a burger, both sub-par, so he regretted not ordering the fish like I did. The jamocha shake and his shake were good, still thick . But we were the first in there, for about a whole minute and a half we were ignored by two of staff at the counter. Each chick chatted it up!with the other and a cook. One walked off, one took our order. Think it took 8-9 minutes until our order was ready for takeaway. We watched countless men and women walk in without masks on. Only one guy was asked to wear one out of what I can remember counting two couples and that guy coming inside. So, I didn't take pictures of the food, trufly, it wasn't picture worthy. Thought jumping in the car going on a ride for some nostalgia good eats, was more of a notion, rather than a good experience. Chasing that cheeseburger memory , and ran into a disappoinment. It is what it is. They can have that fly filled shack. Get some citronella, or something. Geesh . I'm good. I'll stick to my memories when the entire menu was just plain yummy. Miss the good times. Death of a legendary place of yumminess. read more

Arctic Circle Woodburn - Review to come! - Fast Food Near Me - Woodburn, Oregon

Where is the owner of this place? I met in to order To Go. The young lady at the front counter had a terrible attitude. Unfriendly and rude as if was torture for her to be there. Her sweater was dirty and had a long hair on her chest. And she was hot: apparently their AC is not cooling the building well. She was airing her chest by pulling in her sweater in a rapid motion. There were at least three flies in there. Where has the good friendly customer service gone to these days? And why is it so hard to find decent places to eat on the Go? It's a shame. I used to eat there more often but lately this place is rapidly sliding off to my " do not eat there list". read more

Love love love their hamburgers and fries. This is a fast food business that is way better than McDonald's, Burger King and Dairy Queen, hands down. And they have a fry sauce that is sooo good!!! read more

Excellent fries! Fry sauce is the bomb! I got the ranch burger which is basically a big mac style burger but they use real cheddar cheese. It was cold and made me sad. I haven't been here in prob 20 years and it looks exactly the same...not sure if that's a good or bad thing. Next time I stop by I'll stick to the ol' stand-by, which are the buttery delish golden fries and their fry sauce. read more

Arctic Circle Woodburn - Came here for the sauce. - Fast Food Near Me - Woodburn, Oregon

Honestly their burgers are absolutely amazing are used to love coming here as a kid and getting ice cream from there... One of my favorite things and the first time I ever tried it was their sauce which is obviously ketchup and mayo but it was the bomb.com with my french fries or burgers and honestly it's probably one of my favorite places when I think of my childhood! Love this place read more

My Husband and I dropped by last night to get small milkshakes. After paying over $11.00 for two small milkshakes we anticipated the great milk shakes we remember buying at Artic Circles in the past. Imagine our dismay as we took our first bites. Yuck. I had ordered a Caramel with cashews and was given a chocolate with cashews. But the consistency of the milkshake was runny. Did I already say yuck? My husband ordered a hot fudge with peanuts. He received just a chocolate shake no nuts. Fortunately, the consistency of his shake did resemble a milk shake. I feel so bad for the owners of this place. I'm sure they are trying their best to get good help. It only takes one clueless employee to ruin a customer's experience. We can't justify spending over $11.00 for milkshakes that we come home and throw away. read more

They will mess up your order and they will argue with you about it. They have very rude, horrible people working there. Make sure to get your receipt and double check your order BEFORE pulling away from the window. Or better yet, just go somewhere else. read more

Good burgers and great ice cream treats. We love it! The milkshakes and dipped cones never disappoint!

Overpriced for bad service and overcooked food. Meals don't even come with a drink. Not worth it at all.

Bad customer service the dude working the counter is rude and had an attitude forgot the fries in my order and when I had to come back for them he was rude and still had an attitude read more

I LOVE ARTIC CIRCLES HALIBUT!!! i never liked fish but once i tried there AMAZING halibut.. my life was changed. 10000/10 i love this place and need to go more often. i also seem to enjoy their marshmallow milkshakes that my dad has always had a love for, shout out to him for introducing it to me read more

Spent $21 on halibut fish and chips and a blackberry milkshake. I got my order which was 2 small slivers of fish that had a bitter taste, the fries weren't very good but the milkshake was excellent read more

Brings back childhood memories of the 70s & 80s when Arctic Circles were popular places to hangout in your car. Nothing extraordinary but still a great burger, fries, and fountain drink (Pepsi products). I enjoy better than other chains. read more

Just went through the drive thru at the Woodburn, Oregon store. Had a coupon for a free chocolate covered raspberry shake when you buy another shake at regular price. Ordered 2 shakes, a crispy chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and a country chicken sandwich with tater tots. First, the shakes looked nothing like the picture on the coupon. The coupon shows a raspberry shake with some small chocolate morsels on top. The shakes we received were vanilla with the chocolate morsels on top. When we asked about it, we were told the raspberry is in the morsels on top. Very disappointed but we accepted the explanation. When we got home, we could not eat the fries or tater tots. They were very greasy. I could squeeze the grease out of the sweet potato fries. We called the Woodburn store to tell them of the condition of the food and got an argument from them. They said the fries are cooked in oil so of course they're greasy. These were inedible. Paid over $8.00 for fries and tots that we weren't even able to eat. I worked at that store years ago so I know the quality of the food that should come out of there. This was not it. Arctic Circle will never get another penny from me. Have a good day. read more

Nothing better than Artic circle fry sauce especially, on your burger! One of my all-time favorite resturants, food is always good and fresh. read more

I will drive 80 miles round trip to visit this iconic chain. My entire life I've enjoyed their food and the original fry sauce. I sure hope they stick around so I can always get my ranch burger, fresh hot fries and fry sauce fix. And I love how you always get a ton of extra fries when you order a large and you can pump as much of that fry sauce as you can eat while you're there lol. Thank you for being in my life for over 45 years!! read more

Stopped there after visiting the Outlet Mall. Burger and ice cream were delicious! Fries were fresh and tasty. I would definitely make to quick stop next time I'm in the area. read more

Arctic circle is still alive and kickin! Great nostalgia and still low prices! Wonderful being able to introduce others to chicken rings since most places chicken nuggets are getting sad lately read more

New owners? Must be. Service went WAY down hill. Table was sticky. I don't think they take cleanliness very seriously. It took 10+ min to get the burger. read more

Filthy! I do not understand how the Health Dept hasn't shut this "Lil Shop of Horrors" down for good! The restrooms are impossible for anyone with any type of physical challenges, how does this happen? My ONE time there, believe me when I say that, the owner(?..man running around yelling at employees) was re-frying the already fried French fries! Yup! Can't make this stuff up! My advice, the Abbys Pizza a block or two down the road! read more

I ordered a flavoured ice cream cone advertised for $2. It was advertised in two spots that I saw. I was told that that price was increased. I paid $2.35. The price advertised should have been honoured. I asked one to honour the advertised price and was refused. The advertisements were not removed. Someone else could be deceived. read more

This place is the best way for me to feel like a kid again. Every time I go in there and have a #3 with a Dr. Pepper and loads of fry sauce I am transported to my childhood. It is a small drive for me but its always worth it. If the food is the same as I remember I will always support any Arctic Circle around me. read more
