    a pepsi store
    Sheri H.

    Stopped here once. Expensive for fast food but great service. Order in only. Items are ordered individually. Tots cost more than fries. Shakes looked interesting with lots of different ice cream flavors.

    Blackberry Shake, deeeelish

    I've read some of the 1 star reviews and I agree that the wait time is ridiculous, in fact the first time we hit the drive-thru we left. We attempted a couple days later and decided to wait. We order two milk shakes and the wait seemed to be about 15-20 minutes because there was a vehicle in front of us. I think if they had one more person working on food and drinks to help out the person in the window maybe that would bring people back. Our shake was absolutely delicious and the girl at the window was polite and sweet. We will be back but will remember to bring our patience. I would love to see this place serve customers quicker but maybe it's not feasible for the owners to pay for another employee. Regardless, if you want a delicious shake don't hesitate to visit the Crows Nest, just bring your patience and you will be very happy.

    Onion Rings Fishwich Sandwich

    The service was fantastic, everything was clean, and the food was good. I got a fish sandwich and onion rings. The sandwich was only fish, lettuce, and mayo on a bun. It was good, but nothing super noteworthy. The onion rings were much better and I would order them again if I returned. Very crispy and light! My friend got the bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich and hash brown. He said the food was similar to McDonald's but "fresh and actually good... actually it was way better than McDonald's". I was really impressed with how clean the bathroom was and how great it smelled! There is a pac man arcade game inside, so bring quarters to play! Good place to stop if you're driving through, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here.

    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.

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. Service was friendly and welcoming, which always makes a difference. Chill area, fast service and nice to eat in your car. Overall, a great meal and I'd happily come back.
