Smittys In & Out is exactly the kind of old-school drive-in that is getting harder and harder to…read morefind. Tucked away in Elma, Smitty's has that classic small-town, roadside burger-joint appeal that makes stopping there feel like part of the experience rather than simply grabbing another fast-food meal. The simple drive-in setup, casual atmosphere, and straightforward menu give the place a genuine nostalgic charm. The prices are another big reason to like Smitty's. You can get a satisfying burger-and-fries meal without feeling like you are paying premium modern day inflation price. The same burger fry and shake would be 50%-100% more in cost in Tacoma or Seattle. The portions are generous, and the food delivers the kind of comfort-food experience you want from a local drive-in. The burgers are definitely the highlight. They are flavorful, have that grilled taste, and have that classic burger-joint taste that you just don't get from the big national chains. Whether you go with a basic burger or something more loaded, the quality and flavor make it clear that Smitty's knows what it is doing. The menu also has plenty of classic sides and other options if you want to mix things up. The wait time was perfectly reasonable for a small, popular drive-in. Smitty's prepares food to order, so you may have to wait a little longer than you would at a typical fast-food chain, but that is a tradeoff I am happy to make for hot, fresh food. It never felt like an unreasonable wait, and the friendly staff made the experience even better. The service was good. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and welcoming, which adds to the small-town character of the restaurant. There is something refreshing about getting good food from people who actually seem happy to have you there. Overall, Smitty's is a great example of what a local drive-in should be: old-school atmosphere, reasonable prices, tasty burgers, fresh comfort food, friendly service, and a relaxed small-town feel. It may not be the fastest stop in town, but the combination of quality, value, and nostalgia makes it well worth the visit. If you are passing through Elma, Smitty's is absolutely worth stopping for.

Stopped in for a burger, fries, and a milkshake and had a really solid experience. The gluten-free…read morebun was actually very good -- soft and held together well, which isn't always the case. Definitely appreciated that. The fries were thin and crispy just how I like them. Nicely salted and fresh. The milkshake was delicious too -- thick and creamy without being overly heavy.

It's one of those places that nickel and dime you for everything which ticks me when you're already paying a high price for an ala'cart burger. I asked for extra onion yet barely got any but was charged extra. Hubby asked for extra grilled onion which you could slightly see but come on, extra means generous and when you're paying extra please be generous! I asked for extra sauce ( surprised no charge!) but it still wasn't drippy. I will same overall the burger was a tasty burger and the buns were seriously like a fluffy cloud, incredible. The fries were fine, onion rings better. For nearly $40 it was OK but should have been more memorable at that price.

I'm only giving it 4 stars though, as one time when I went I used the drive thru. Despite there only being 2 cars in front of me, this visit had me waiting in line for a touch over half an hour. This was in the middle of the day in a car with no A/C so I got a little bit of onset heatstroke, but it was worth it.

You will find this place on the right side of Olympic Hwy before reaching Aberdeen. We were heading…read moreto a game at Aberdeen and wanted to grab something before start of the game. Cheap burgers. We ordered couple of cheeseburgers, chicken and a garden burger with fries on the side. Wait time was long; there were no other customers - still they took almost 15-20 mins to get us the food. We planned to dine in but then later picked it up as take out due to the delay. Coming to the burgers - loved the food. Nothing to complain about. Really enjoyed the freshly made hot burgers. Shame we couldn't enjoy it while sitting there than from a moving car. Small place with a handful of tables. Very casual ambiance. Looks like a take out place than a dine in. Staffs were very friendly. Despite the delay, I am rating them high for the great burgers they made that day!

I wasn't entirely sure what to expect - but this place is Montesano in all the best ways. It's…read morefunky, organic in every meaning of the word, and probably one of the best things this little town has going for it. It's much more a deli than a grocery store- not a dig, just the truth. I arrived around 1pm and they had a steady stream of people ordering smoothies and deli items. They have a fun mix of locally made crafts, some organic food items and some weird art. Truly an original mix! But the most important things - the place was clean. The bathroom was clean. The employees were clean and exceptionally friendly and attentive. And most importantly - the food was soooo good!! I had the veggie wrap grilled (because I'm in an endless search for good vegetarian food to eat on the go) and omg was it good. The perfect mix of crispy and fresh veggies, just enough sauce without being overpowering. The wrap itself was delicious, flavorful and super fresh tasting. If you're in the area and like healthy, clean food - this is your spot.
