Loved this place for 40+ years, don't even know why. Try the rodeo burger. Same experience with their drive thru yesterday as it was in the 90s. Thumbs up. read more

Stumbled across this gem on a road trip. Yummy! We had a variety of things and everything was delicious. Burgers, teriyaki chicken sandwich, chicken salad, fries and shakes. read more

Not to shabby at all! Love to try local food and give them business. This place had a lot of dipping sauces and the food was pretty dang good. I was shocked at the grilled chicken salad since it was basically just the stuff they would use on their burgers. The grilled chicken was good. They give you a lot of fries - so many you could easy share on order. The burger with Worcestershire sauce and mushrooms was awesome! read more

Very good food and service and lot to choice form great milkshake and malts i visit all time I get a chance

Love this spot! Perfect for road weary travelers. Good food, good ambience, good service, and just all around great experience. Not to mention the bathroom was clean and good smelling, something I give double points for for holes in the wall. Highly recommend them for future stops and grub! I got the Godzilla burger, and it was absolutely A tier stuff. Come get it! read more

Super long long time happy customer....... of course things have changed over 50 years but we're still enjoying our Hal's Burgers

A good burger but extremely slow service. Don't choose if you're in a rush, but otherwise it's a good burger & fries.

Great fresh hamburger and crispy tots! Burgers and other sandwiches made to order at a little drive thru stand but with a personal touch. In Door dining option, as well as a little covered patio. read more

Hal's is just what the doctor ordered! We were on a long trip driving by Pendleton on Hwy 84 and looking for something fast & easy but not the usual franchise fare. Hal's is just a by-pass hop away from 84 and an easy connect back on. We enjoyed reasonably priced, generously sized burgers & tots, all cooked to order. The wait staff were very friendly and helpful. Covered outdoor seating on picnic tables and some pleasant piped in music was a real plus for us after being in the car for hours. They even have a dedicated tree for their local squirrel friends! One negative was the restroom. Husband reports it was dirty and the door lock did not work. read more

The have the best hot dogs and chicken nuggets. The have the absolute best service as well. I love it there.

Wish it was good. The food made me and the fam sick on our trip back to Portland. The cost for 2 adults and 2 kids to eat was close to $40. It was pricey and normally if it was good I'd have no qualms about it. However it just didn't live up to satisfaction. We did order shakes, espresso and cheesecake. Neither were good and did not have a good taste to them. The burgers were not very filling... and didn't really taste great. I will say the fries were the best thing that we all had. read more

This place has been around FOREEVER! That has to say something very extensive menu, since they cook to order, it can be a bitable weight to get your food read more

Excellent shakes, burgers, onion rings. Our family enjoyed the pit stop and tater tots on our road trip! Bathroom needed some paper products but once I mentioned it... fixed no problem! Stop by! read more

Stopped in during a long road trip for a brEak from McDonald's food, was welcomed with amazing service. Exceptional service really, I wish I'd gotten their names but it was a brunette lady taking the order and a short brown haired glasses wearing guy who prepared the food. Really a treat! read more

Life time fan of Hal's ~ grew up loving great burgers & chicken & now that I'm older & more conscious of my diet the chicken is a yummy alternative ~ but a great Hal's cheese burger basket & fry sauce will always be a favorite read more

Love this place! It is our go to stop when we are driving to and from Boise to Washington to visit family. I just wish that they had a gluten free, designated fryer for fries and then I'd give them 10 stars. They are very accommodating, they have gluten free buns and are friendly and always accommodate us when we need modifications. Excellent, kind and compassionate service! They have a ton of yummy sides. Very affordable. I highly recommend! read more

My husband and live 6 hours away from Pendleton. We always make a special detour to get food here on our way to the coast. They are always so nice and the food is amazing. And there's always a piece of bacon for our pup. read more

Awesome burgers and the tots were sooo crunchy. Enjoyed chit chatting with the waitress as she took our order. We were in and out fast with fresh cooked food. We all ordered burgers and shared a medium order of tots. This was way more food than we needed, but that didn't stop us from enjoying every bite. read more

This restaurant is just like any other old diner. The food was good and it got to us in a decent time.

This has been one of my favorite places since I was little! My fiancé and me went here today and had a fairly normal sized order. Two burgers, two fries, and two shakes. It took a fairly long time to make the order which was weird because we were the only ones there, but it was fine. Then a girl swings open the window and says "two burgers, a fry, and a tot?" We ordered two fries but my fiancé likes tater tots so we just took it. Then she grabs the shakes my fiancé grabs them and we drive off as we don't have air conditioning and it was hot. My fiancé goes to take a drink of his and it's a small, we ordered two larges. The burgers were good but they messed up over half our order and we were the only ones there, I was not impressed. read more

Good veggie burger. Great fries. Service was fast and friendly and prices were good. Would definitely stop again if driving through Oregon

The local burger shack. Pretty conveniently located off the interstate, which is why we swung in here on the way back to Salem from Baker City. The burgers and fries were pretty standard. My favorite part of the meal was the large chocolate milkshake my boyfriend and I split. Now that was tasty. One thing I noticed, I would not choose the drive through for pick up. Because the burgers are handmade to order, the wait is longer than you would expect from your average fast food joint. This makes the drive through a traffic jam. We parked, walked in, got our orders, and sat down on their outside seating. Where we fought with the wind to keep our napkins in check, but still, was a nice meal. read more

Best Burgers Ever and tots cant forget those! Fast & Friendly Service. Good price. Amazing Shakes. a must place to stop for a fast Food place in Pendleton read more

One week after my first visit I returned. This experience was better than the first for several reasons: I was asked whether I wanted "fry sauce" or not (many folks will really like this stuff), the onion rings are VERY good, and our stuff came on a tray with a bottle of ketchup (I had indicated I was a "here" order) instead of the bags, packets of ketchup, etc. that I received last time (when I indicated for "here"). The service was far better today (and it was really busy). I had a double bacon cheese burger this time, and it was pretty great. I would not do this very often, though (what a meal). Fries and one their shakes (chocolate, and yes, the shakes are really about the best ever) on top of the burger was a real risk, but given the circumstances it was a good call. read more

Had an excellent Bacon cheeseburger. Friendly service as well. I stopped in Pendleton for gas and used my Yelp app to find a place where I could grab a quick burger. The food is reasonably priced, served with a smile, and had a great home-made feel to it. Definitely worth checking out. read more

First impression: it's a dive! That adds to the charm of a local place - usually the more divey, the better! There was also a constant line of people in the drive through lane, a good sign! Second impression: Sarah and Trevor were awesome! Yes, it's dog friendly - if your dog is potty trained, they are welcome in the covered, air conditioned veranda! They also have outdoor seating which is a huge bonus. They even gave my pup a cup of water! Third impression: they have shoestring fries -my fave! They serve 1/4 pounders (you can order bigger if you want!) - also my fave! They have Pepsi products - yay, more of my fave! This, so far, is my dream local dive burger joint...now to wait for the food! Fourth impression: the burgers were good - nothing overly special, but good nonetheless. The fries were definitely not shoestring and were under salted, but were good. They were the size of McDonald's fries - not shoestring and not fat ones. The onion rings would have been super delicious if they weren't cold - they really had pretty good flavor! My burger had a stale bottom bun, but the contents were delicious. The salad was good, and the ranch dressing was good. Overall, great great service, and for that, I'd come again and give them another shot. Road trip food with a dog in tow isn't easy to come by, and I was happy with the accommodations this place made for our family and dog. Thank you, Hal's! read more

Very friendly service. Excellent burgers and tots. We very much enjoyed the old time drive in feel.

After a long day of hiking and a long trip back home, I was looking forward to it so I had a bacon cheeseburger with chili cheese fries and their homemade lemonade. My only complaint is that they forgot tomatoes in my burger but Sooo good it hit the spot! read more

A gem! So I love these little small town burger joints with their greasy burgers and rich milkshakes. Typically their downfall is they are slow so not exactly road trip friendly, but Hals was fast despite ordering multiple burgers, fries, onion rings and a shake. Very friendly service from the two gals I interacted with. Hal's Hamburgers sure knows how to put a smile on weary travelers face! read more

Amazing food, wonderful employees, perfect spot to stop for lunch!! They were great about adapting to my dietary restrictions. Had a great selection so everyone from my 5 year old to my husband got exactly what they wanted! read more

The Bacon cheeseburger is just the right size and so tasty. Onion rings are the perfect thickness. Milk shakes are amazing and thick enough to be a milkshake yet still be able to go through the straw. The amount of food you get for your money is worth the trip. read more

Excellent food, nice people! We went inside to order, and I noticed immediately that it smelled like good food - no "old grease" smell. The burgers were substantial and tasty. The onion rings were excellent - crisp & delish. Chocolate shake was excellent also! We will be back! read more

literally so good i ate the paper wrapping on the burger without realizing and tbh i dont even care

On our way home from a weekend trip we decided to check yelp for a good place to eat. This was the top choice for fast food so we decided this was the place! I wouldn't say it was McDonalds fast food but it was really delicious and good things take time. My grilled cheese was super buttery and very yummy with my tater tots! My husbands Jumbo bacon cheese burger was really delicious as well as his fries! The sauce was made in restaurant and it was probably some of the best ranch I have ever had. I also had a huckleberry cheesecake shake which was also delicious! One thing they could have done better was getting out the Fries and tots warm and a little more done. But besides that I had an awesome experience and could see myself stopping by again. read more

We found Hal's online while on a road trip. The onion rings were orgasmic. Tater Tots were exceptional. The sandwiches followed suit. It's a must stop when traveling through Pendleton from now on. The staff were polite and friendly. For travelers, it's a close hop from the Freeway. read more
