Really wonderful staff and food is great. But omg the milkshakes are to die for. Only wish they'd extend the hours a little.

I would not be surprised if they someone pre-ordered McDonald's sandwiches here and served them for a couple of dollers here (or either used to work at McDonald's worked). That is not to say the wiches here are bad at all. This spot hits the spot for when you are hungry and cannot wait for another few hours to get home to Seattle from Gifford Pinchot National Forest. My boyfriend and I came here for chicken and fish sandwiches. Pro: Crispy af chicken and fish patties. After his first bite, boyfriend says, "This is the most average tasting sandwich I've ever had." Con: I have not had McDonald's in maybe about 5 years or more (last time I had it was at an Amtrak station in DC waiting to head to NYC). I felt really sick after finishing that and two onion rings - it was really oily. Again, not a bad place to eat if you're hungry...and I will say there is quite a bit of selection for the shakes - pumpkin spice to vanilla. read more

A little late but still relevant. I went to the location on 7/17/2017. Look all those 7s! We were driving back and a friend kept going on and on about the shakes! We couldn't resist. We HAD to stop there. Fortunately it was on the way home. I was amazed at the list of shakes and MALTS! Yes, Malts! So many flavors! Combine this and the burger! Perfect combination. If you find yourself driving past, definitely stop by, if for any other reason, the shake! read more

Not the freshest, but shakes are good and filling on the way home from skiing at White Pass. Low on flexibility, high on fried previously frozen stuff. read more

We were out for a drive on a sunny Sunday saw this place and several cars parked in front so we stopped to grab a couple of milkshakes. I really wanted to like this little place. My husband got a blackberry shake and he liked it, I for some reason went with a Oreo cookie shake and after a few sips I just set it aside. It just tasted like the blandest greasiest cheap vanilla ice cream with some chunks of Oreo mixed in. Another reason to dislike this place? The employees/owners had their masks around their chin or below the nose the whole time while talking to other maskless customers and while handling food and drinks. I didn't notice this until my husband was walking back with our shakes. I sat in that parking lot disinfecting cups and straws and watching as careless people put others and themselves at risk. read more

great food definitely will stop again. the elk burger was awesome. The ladies at the front were courteous and respectful. the ambiance was as expected from a stop-and-go. read more

Wow!! I don't know how many times I have driven right past this place, but I now have a favorite burger place on HWY 12. I had a bacon cheese burger and a green salad. The food was delicious and plentiful and the prices are very good. This is just a small roadside cafe but they put out quality food. Not a lot of seating inside maybe 5 or 6 tables but it was enough. You order at the counter and they will bring your food to your table. Oh, you get to eat with real plates and silverware too. read more

Huff N’ Puff Drive In - Great burger and I also had a green salad that was good too - Burgers Near Me - Randle, Washington

Such a cool little, small town, burger and shake shack. Everything is made when ordered. I'm pretty sure when I was there, I overheard someone ordering an XL pizza! Good thing I'm close by because next time I'm getting that pizza. Oh and the birthday cake shake was out of this world! I will be stopping in there every time I drive by now. I'll plan errands just before lunch so I can justify it. read more

ICONIC burger bar that you MUST stop at if you're in the area. Tots and onion rings are ooo-la-la! and they have just about any burger combo your heart desires, not to mention sandwiches, salads & take n bake pizza that never disappoints! read more

Food was delicious, pricing is inexpensive and with a Mountain View! Defy will come back and bring more friends.

Food is so good. Fries are crunchy and burgers are good. Nice place for burgers when you go over White Pass, Washington.

It's too bad this place is so far from everything. They really did an outstanding job. Food was excellent, service was friendly and fast, and their prices are very reasonable. I recommend trying the curly fries and a shake with your burger. They were super fresh and tasted great. We will definitely be back next time we're in the area. read more

Great roadside burger drive-in. Scrumptious bacon cheeseburger. Get lots of napkin!! Building in need of repair... But did top notch! read more

Huff N’ Puff Drive In - Signage from highway - Burgers Near Me - Randle, Washington

The Drive-In. You have to love them, right? They are very American. They are very summer. They are usually pretty good. Huff and Puff is no different. Sue, myself and a friend were going into the woods East of Randle, WA for a backpacking trip. On our way driving to the trailhead we saw the Huff and Puff and made a mental note to possibly hit it on the way back to Portland. Well, hit it we did. You know when you go to a place like this what the burger will be like. What the milkshake will be like. What the experience will be like. You've been to one, you've been to them all. This is not a bad thing. The burger and fries I got cost me less than $7. The burger was a good size and the fries were plentiful. Sure, it was a thin burger pattie, but you already knew that. The fries were crinkle cut, but you probably already knew that too. The food wasn't amazing, but it is the food that people have been eating at places like this for a long long time and it is good to know that you can still find these places everywhere. read more

For a small pop-up off the side of the main road, this place is great!! They have about 15 flavors of milk shakes (Including bubblegum flavor which I highly recommend), and if that's not reason enough to go, the chicken nuggets, curly fries and tots are all delicious! Everyone was happy with the meals they had. Nice tables outside to sit and eat as well! read more

Great hamburgers, fish and chips and sooo many flavors of milkshakes.

Such a great pit stop near Rainier. Delicious fried food, burgers and shakes that really hit the spot after a long hike.

Food is normal fast food quality, except more variety and much bigger burgers. Burgers have all the trimmings, bacon was high quality, and I liked the mayo/mustard special sauce. Fries are crinkle cut, cheese is American, buns are plain white. Prices are high for what you get, but I'm sure shipments don't come cheap out there. The real reason we stopped in is because the bright rainbow-colored building looks so cool, and the name "huff and puff" seemed equally psychedelic. While nothing too wild happened, we did overhear the cook and counter person chatting about friends they know who smoke weed. They were quick to say they don't "prefer" to use it themselves, but that they can't really say anything about it since it's perfectly legal! In short, I felt it was on the cool side for East Lewis County. read more

Huff N’ Puff Drive In - Psychedelic Americana burger joint...what?!? - Burgers Near Me - Randle, Washington

See all

This little roadside drive-in gem serves up friendly service and delicious mom & pop goodies! Do not drive by without trying one of their famous shakes!! I would highly recommend the Huckleberry or peach shake but they offer a couple dozen options! We stopped in hauling our camper trailer without any issues parking after leaving the deep woods. Hubz ordered the Lager large burger, almost twice the size of my palm loaded with Bacon and the works! He also chose the fried mushrooms and corn dog which was served up perfectly golden and crispy! I had the Deluxe with cheese, tots and secret sauce! If you like dipping order an extra secret sauce! The ladies behind the counter had a sincere hand written note thanking their patrons for their support during Covid and they are trying their best to get orders out as quick as possible without sacrificing quality! We will definitely be back! Note: they also sell bags of ice cubes/block for $2/bag! Cheaper than the local stores if you need some ice for camping! read more

The shakes are fabulous! The onion rings are amazing, and the hamburgers were really good! We love calling ahead and picking it up on our way back from skiing at White Pass. read more

I have to stop here every time I'm up on Highway 12. There food and milkshakes (I get the bubble gum!) are the best anywhere. The staff is always friendly. Well worth the wait, I promise! read more

Prices have gone of control, and quality has gone down. In this small community it is my last choice, would rather drive to neighboring towns to eat. read more

Small simple menu. Great logger burger and curly fries. Chicken nuggets were just ok. Great chocolate peanut butter shake and chocolate ice cream cone. Good place for a small snack. read more

Probably drove by this place 20 times before we stopped, and wow were we missing out. I never expected much because it looked so plain outside, but it was amazing. There is only good stuff on the menu, and the shakes are the stars of the show. I plan my drives on highway 12 based on ensuring I can stop here for a meal. read more

Loved stopping by here. It was a few weeks ago but I'm still thinking about the impression it made on me. The place had a lot of women working there cooking and running the till. They were friendly and unbelievably clean. I watched them use gloves when handling ready to eat food and following health code recommendations like they were the poster child of the health department. It was amazingly clean inside. I was so impressed with the cleanliness that is made me come back weeks after and write this post. The window sills were pristine, not a drop or splash from previous diners. The molding on the floor had no dirty mop water splashes. It looked brand new. The stainless steal in the kitchen, the refrigerator, ticket wheel and counters had no sign of grease, though the fryer was going constantly. That is really impressive for a restaurant that would commonly have at least SOME build up. Not this place. Hats off to the staff who close and clean the place. The food was exactly what my husband and I wanted and we will be going back next time we are anywhere near by. read more

Order ahead of time because it's busy. Great food and nice staff. Burgers taste exactly what you want a ma and pop restaurant to taste like.

Not many choices for food along lonely US Hwy 12. Was looking for a local burger shack and pulled over to give Huff & Puff a try. The lady who took our order resembled a bored Paula Deen, was no-nonsense and wasn't giving away smiles for free, but I saw he warm up when genuine appreciation was shown to her and when she was talking with kids. The lady at the grill was multi-tasking in that kind of experienced way that you just can't fake. The burgers were tasty, not greasy, wrapped well, didn't fall apart, and were priced fairly. Onion rings seemed of the commercial sort but weren't greasy. Chocolate malt was good. All in all I enjoyed my meal and would definitely stop in again. While perusing their menu, I noticed that their breakfasts were CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAP. read more

I drove right by this sweet little diner and then swung around and went back after remembering seeing some good reviews on here. I'm so glad I did!! I was starving after driving for hours and it would have been another 33 miles to Packwood, so another half hour at least to get lunch food there, I needed food, like now!! I went to the window and a very friendly lady took my order. I couldn't have leftovers since I had hours more driving to do, so I ordered the junior burger, (I eat small amounts, a large burger would have been wasted), and a tiny fries, she offered me a kids meal and I loved that she did that for me! I had a fantastic burger, deluxe, no onion, crisp lettuce with a fresh tomato slice. The bun was perfectly toasted and there were a lot of perfectly done, crisp and hot fries, just right salted. I also got a small icy cold drink. It was seriously the best food I've had at a roadside diner in a long time. Service was so friendly all the way including her checking on me a bit later to see how I was doing. I ate inside at one of their tables and enjoyed some people watching as I ate. This place gets busy at noon! You can tell it's a hit with locals and highway workers. They were super friendly the entire time, and I took my time, I did not want to get back into that hot car and drive the rest of the hours. So glad I remembered the yelp reviews. I'm putting my own recommendation here to say I loved every bite and will probably stop by on the way home trip. Yumm, hungry again just thinking about it. read more

I've driven by this place a dozen times taking Forest Road 23 from Randle over to Trout Lake and a group of us finally stopped there this past Sunday. Love the sign and name, but it was one of the worst burgers I've had in my life. Cheapo white bun, way too much mayo and no ketchup, wilted lettuce. Bottom of the barrel diner stuff. Everything else was cheapo frozen food thrown in a fryer, from the fries to chicken fingers. Keep on driving when you see this place, seriously. read more

Huff N’ Puff Drive In - Burgers Near Me - Randle, Washington

This spot looked like a random gem. A good ol burger joint in the middle of no where. It was not a gem, it was not even edible. We got burgers and fries. The burger was disgusting, the patty tasted like a poor quality frozen patty resembling the kind you had for free lunch in elementary school. The fries were dark brown, tasted disgusting and were most likely fried in grease that was way over used. read more

Always a friendly face and smile, good food and shakes, definitely worth the stop

Probably the best burgers I've ever had. Employees are super nice and they do everything your suppose to do with COVID enforcements it super good I love it read more

Was starving on my way home from the Gifford Pinchot NF I stopped here thinking all I was going to be able to eat as a vegetarian was fries. Pleasantly surprised when I saw a garden burger on the menu. Sure it was a commercially made patty, but it was still delicious, cooked perfect and exactly what I needed. Fries were good too. I wanted to try a milk shake, but decided to be "good". This place seemed pretty busy for a weekday, I bet they get even busier in the summer. They are in need of some rehab though, the place was a bit dated and drab. read more

Huff and Puff is an excellent burger drive-in. Their burgers and chicken strip dinners are the bomb! I think they use high quality hamburger and really know how to use a grill. And their milkshakes are the Best! read more

Honestly the food was okay, it tasted like greasy bar food easily obtainable at any local pub or burger place. But the wait. I waited over an hour for 2 bacon burgers and one logger burger. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

I unabashedly love drive-in diners more than the average reviewer. That said, this place is a lovely relic set in a beautiful spot in rural Washington. Inside you'll find little nuggets from yesteryear and kind ladies grilling up the goods. Being a vegetarian, it's always a perk to find a veggie burger on the menu. They toast their sandwich buns in a yummy way throw it in a classic, no frills basket. I love the wood paneling inside and the tiny, endearing size of the restaurant. It's been around for 60+ years for a reason. : D read more

Friendly service and plentiful, hot food served fast! This hit the spot on my way back from a long hike. I was pleasantly surprised by the varied selection on the menu - it's all standard American fare, but plenty of meatless options (and fried sides aplenty!). Reasonable prices for hearty portions, too. read more
