Excellent service, smiles and very sweet all around! I ordered a scoop of pistachio almond and lemon bar ice cream, as well as a cheeseburger, steak fries and jalapeño poppers. Ice cream came before my food, I mentioned I would be driving so to get the ice cream in a bowl (which I did) but it was a hot day and since I was waiting for my meal, I had to eat my ice cream first. So I was a bit full when my meal came The cheeseburger was really good, I was happy with it! The steak fries lacked seasoning, like there was none on the fries, so I ate a few then got over it. The jalapeño poppers were the same, nothing great, I ate one then tossed them. The ranch I added to my meal looked promising, it was thick, so thick that you couldn't dip your food into it, you had to scoop it, also lacked flavor. The ice cream was the big winner, I'll stop by just for that, not the food so much, read more

Heading back home to San Diego from WA and saw this spot on the map. Figured we try it out. Off the 5, it's a nice spot to stop and grab a bite. A burger is $7 bucks the no fries, that's another 3.25, which if you think about - it's still WAY cheaper than McDonald's. And it's fresh, not frozen. The ice cream and shakes were delicious. The food was delicious. The ladies were courteous and the service was great- considering there's only a few of them working. You can sit in their shaded patio and enjoy. Con: No bathroom. So go before you head here. Maybe put a few port-o-John's and it'll be great. Overall- I'd come back if in the area. read more

My second time to KR and it was fabulous! In their defense, my first time they weren't open. Had a wonderful cheeseburger with all the fixings. Delicious! Peppermint shake to go was Delightful! Also, super friendly staff! read more

I've been coming here for over 25 years. The Umpqua ice cream is spot on and their burgers are great. The best thing about it is it's along I5 and makes a nice spot to stop and grab a sweet treat when you're driving through southern Oregon. read more

Stopped by K and R Drive-In while on the road, and it's a solid spot for truck drivers or anyone passing through. It's right off the 5 and even has its own truck parking, which is a huge plus. The menu has a little bit of everything--classic American food that's quick, convenient, and perfect if you're on the go. If you need a fast, no-fuss meal before hitting the road again, this is definitely a place worth checking out! read more

Tasty tasty tasty. Fishwich is wonderful! Hamburgers are delicious, tater tots, the best. Old and funky, such a nice change from chains.

The food is great! We had a pulled pork sandwich that was delicious. The ice cream is so good.

The customer service was awesome I did not feel rushed it's a simple menu and delicious food I will come back the out door seating is very clean. read more

Love this place but only come thru a few times a year.. short business hours, so often miss it

This is a tradition now for family & friends! Been stopping by every road trip we make for 40+ years. The ice cream -- cones, cups, or shakes -- is FANTASTIC and the servings are huge! Food is great too (although I admit we rarely get anything except ICE CREAM!). read more

I've been stopping here for ice cream since the 1980s. Fabulous selection of uncommon flavors, and they have egg nog shakes in June!

Driving a long stretch of I5 with no dining options we pulled off at a truck stop town looking for the Subway. Directly past the exit however, was K&R's faded sign. It is a traditional drive in, no inside dining but plenty of tables under an awning. The menu is very simple, a few burgers and a phenomenally large ice cream/shake/ malt and sundae menu. We shared a cheeseburger which had lots of stuff, lettuce, pickles, onions, tomatoes and sauce and a very fresh bun. Soooo good! We shared a Butterscotch (hand dipped) shake - heaven. Service was friendly. read more

Not a place to go if you are in a hurry, but worth the wait. Best halibut sandwich we have had in a while. We really liked the pulled pork sandwich. Reminded me of the BBQ beef sandwiches that were popular years ago. It is sweet and not for everyone. Fantastic root beer milkshake. It would be hard not to find your favorite ice cream flavor here. The tots were perfectly crunchy. No restrooms. Covered unheated outside seating. This place seems the same since our families stopped here when we were kids and then with our kids.....way too many years ago. We will return with our grand kids. read more

What happened to K-R Drive Inn? It used to be our favorite place to stop and get ice cream along I-5 on road trips to California. After several years, we stopped in expecting the generous portions & great ice cream we remembered. My husband's "blackberry milk shake" was WHITE. He thought he mistakenly got vanilla (we were already driving down the road & he didn't want to go back). I tasted it and sucked up one blackberry seed through the straw so I guess it had part of a blackberry in it? It tasted like nothing. He couldn't finish it it was so bad. I just wanted a scoop of peppermint ice cream with chocolate sauce but they said I had to make it a "single scoop sundae" with whipped cream and a cherry, so I reluctantly agreed. It was ok, but I wouldn't do that again. Infact, we won't do K-R again. If you live by a Winco, go buy your own Umpqua ice cream. Maybe their hot food is ok but we didn't have any. Oh, and their restroom is gone now too. Is that even legal? They directed me 6 mi down the road to the next rest area. So disappointed. read more

I just want to say how delicious that bacon cheeseburger and steak cut fries was and on top of all that I got two scoops of ice cream, huckleberry cheesecake and praline. I will definitely be coming back. I usually stop at that pilot and get a slice of pizza if I'm not cooking anything in my truck but now I know where to stop! Thanks again ladies for your great food and awesome customer service! read more

They are slower than molasses. The food is nowhere near good enough for the wait. They have zero urgency to serve customers and there's no bathroom. Booo!! read more

As truck drivers there aren't a whole lot of mom and pop places we can stop. Today was our first time here. The staff was extremely nice and even explained how the shakes and sundaes worked. The food was great. They even gave our dog a treat. So needless to say she like it too. She even got spoiled with a few tastes of the whip cream. Thanks for great food and service. Remember to support local businesses. read more

What an adorable little drive up. We were on a road trip to Portland from the Umpqua Hot Springs & found this place on yelp. The choices for food on a sunday night kind of in the middle of nowhere were limited but this was a yummy stop. The exit on the freeway is kind of weird, going north, you will need to exit and go under the freeway to come back around to the restaurant on the other side of the freeway. We passed it the first time when GPS said we were there while still on the freeway, Its a bit weird lol. The fries were yummy steak fries, GREAT portions, my BF and i shared a medium and it was literally the bottom half of a bag filled. The burgers are delicious & they use great buns. Im kind of surprised people talked so much crap on the food, its good drive in food, gordon ramsey isnt back there serving up burgers lol. Burgers, fries, chicken tenders, shakes, ice cream scoops. Its a drive in on the side of the road, no bathrooms, just good old school drive in food & the UMPQUA ICE CREAM is omg! get it, you cant get it anywhere else but around this area. California isnt lucky enough to experience Umpqua dairy products lol I would definitely say this is a good stop for some food while traveling read more

This place is an Oregon institution and has been a family favorite for years. Until today I never knew its name and for many it is known simply as "that ice cream place in Rice Hill" as you drive I-5 between Eugene and Medford. Take the time to read their history and 'rules' when you take a break from the road. It has been around for over 30 years and they definitely do it their way. I've never eaten the food, but can't drive by without stopping for some hand scooped Umpqua ice cream (35+ flavors). You can take it easy with a 'baby' scoop or work you way up. Large = six scoops -- two scoops each of up to three different flavors. No bathrooms, but they have a shaded area with long picnic benches. Just don't eat all the chocolate peanut butter before I get there. read more

Vanilla malt VERY solid! Cheeseburgers an above average pleasant surprise! Don't let the ambience dissuade your burger cravings, K&R kicked our rat burger proclivities into gear! Am already plotting when to go back to beautiful and expansive Rice Hill! read more

K-R Drive Inn - A damn good lunch - Burgers Near Me - Oakland, Oregon

We had a long hot day of moving and stopped in on the way home for the burgers that are super good. We decided to get a brownie supreme but there was a mix up and we got a strawberry shake. We were a bit bummed but we said it was alright and took it. They then gave us a free brownie supreme that was super good. The lady was super sweet! We love this place! read more

Great burgers and fries, amazing shakes and ice cream! We always stop here on our way from Portland to Los Angeles. Outdoor seating was plentiful today, but the tables needed to be cleaned badly. If we sit down next time we'll remember to bring some sanitizing wipes with us. read more

This place is a dump. Like literally a few old trailers smashed together with some uncomfortable old sticky tables. But I could forgive all that if they had even halfway decent food or even bad food at a good price. I ordered the double bacon cheese burger and some chili fries. Almost $21 for just that. I didn't even order a drink y'all! And look at the trash they gave me. Chili on "steak fries" yuk. Soggy old bland taters coved with canned chili and get this, not shedded cheese, not cheese sauce, not a slice of cheese melted, but a few bits of diced up cheese slice. Like WTF?! I don't want your old dusty half a hand-full of yellow confetti, gimme some damn cheese. I done paid for it. These people should be embarrassed to show their face in town. I hope the owners are hermits that are the last of their line so they don't have to suffer the ridicule and shame their family should have for them to be the proprietors of such a trash heap. Rip-off! read more

K-R Drive Inn - $21 for this mess? Double bacon cheese burger and chili cheese fries. - Burgers Near Me - Oakland, Oregon

Always good food. The workers are really quick and kind. Great icecream selection. Perfect for summer time.

Walked over here from the Flying J across the Interstate. Ordered a cheese burger and fries. Went back to order a sunday and was told "We're Closed." The girl had just served three other people and STILL HAD THE ICE CREAM SCOOP IN HER HAND. I looked at my watch. It was 8:01. I've been here before. The hamburgers are pretty good. The fries aren't terrible but they aren't anything special. I won't be going back. read more

My favorite hamburger joint. Reminds me of burgers back in the 60's. Bacon Double with everything on it. Blackberry Shake. YUMMY not a fancy place eating outside. read more

Such great memories of this place as a kid. Looking forward to giving my kid his first experience next week.

Ive been stopping here every time we pass by for years (40+). Always has good burgers, fries and ice cream. There is plenty of parking for an rv, or horse trailer. May not be a gourmet burger, but way better then any of the chain fast food joints. read more

If I could this racist Ass place Zero stars I would!!! I'm sure the food is probably nasty and blan with no seasoning and cooked in dirty ass oil! but... my experience here.... I see a lot of cars thinking cool let's try this place and get some ice cream.... waiting to order behind a gentleman.....walk up to order with my kids Window was closed in my face and stayed closed! So I got the hint... Took my two young boy (9 and 4) back to the truck because "they don't serve our kind" So as soon as got in the car... they open the window and began taking orders.... we were the only colored people there and I pray change for this world to have my kids experience the disrespect because of the color of their skin makes me sick..... so middle finger up to this place and my advice is if you are of any ethnicity besides White SKIP THIS PLACE FOR YOUR OWN SANITY AND RESPECT!!!! read more

We stopped here on our way back from San Diego this past summer and I was just reminiscing about it, so I thought I'd add a review. We only ordered ice cream, no food. The line was long, but moved quickly. It gave us time to look over the vast assortment of flavors. The ladies working inside were quick and efficient. We each got the $5 bowl with 2 flavors. Sure, we could just buy Umpqua at the store, but it was nice to have a sample of a couple of flavors before committing to buying a whole container. After a day and a half on the road, it was the perfect treat. read more

K-R Drive Inn - Just another shot of the sign. - Burgers Near Me - Oakland, Oregon

I'd give them 10 stars for the historical significance of surviving in our current "fast food nation". For the quality of their ice cream offerings, I'd give 5 stars. Their prices, though...wow. Felt they were pretty high for a location that seems to lack much overhead. With that said, I still can't really complain. The milkshake we received was thick and rich. Umpqua ice cream is pretty delicious! And, the waffle cone with two scoops was more than generous in size. They also have a large selection of sundaes, malts, burgers, sandwiches and sides to fill you up. The nostalgic drive-in style building makes you wish for simpler days, and after the madness of a long road trip, this is a welcome stop to get a sugar rush and a break from the windshield. read more

4.75 for the worst burger! Cold and dry Wow paid 6.75 for a cold patty that was too small for the bun and over salted fries and no drink. If you took the time to make me fresh fries, why couldn't Ya fry up a fresh beef patty???? We've driven past this place so many times and dropped. By today. Wish we hadn't. Disappointment. Good for locals because of slim Pickens in the area, but still. Totally gross to bite into a hamburger as cold as the pickles. I'll be pissed of I get sick. And what's up with sending ppl to the pilot to pee or wash hands? where do you pee or dare I ask wash your hands? Look I'm just pissed that the burger is making my stomach feel like crap. The meat was /is that pre patty crap from Costco. THE BURGER WAS SO COLD AND OLD. It should have been wasted out instead of served to people. Either bad standards, managers, owners, employees, but be careful of this place, where if you get sick it will not surprise me. To the people who are saying place is an institution? Did you guys escape one? Crazy. Because I dont like the mcDs, bk, jack Places like you some of you. This place would make a.gas station burger taste good in comparison. read more

K-R Drive Inn - Burgers Near Me - Oakland, Oregon

Ah, the K-R. Famous -- in it's own way -- for two things, The Rules (look for the typed, photocopied manuscript taped to the window) and a killer selection of hard ice creams from Umpqua Dairy. Some things to know: this ain't a bathroom break. There are no facilities here or anywhere this side of the freeway - you have go around through the underpass to the Texaco station for such indulgences. A small is two massive scoops of one flavor. Don't even ask if you can get two different flavors in a small or you'll be banished. You can, however, order and pay for a medium in two flavors and then ask to give up scoop #2 and #4, thus paying for a medium and getting a two-flavor small. These and other famously cranky policies are lucidly explained in the aforementioned manuscript. Read it, learn it, know it. So... why five stars? There is no way I would drive by Rice Hill during K-R's business hours and not stop for at least a shake. I'll even admit to driving a bit slower after passing through Eugene so I don't get to Rice Hill before opening time. It is what it is and that is the perfect American drive-in. read more

K-R Drive Inn - By the time you see the sign it's too late! - Burgers Near Me - Oakland, Oregon

Half-way between Washington and California on I-5 lies this unpolished gem, known mainly to its cult following. Road warriors plan their trips around hitting Rice Hill at meal time. Unpolished is an understatement, as this place is nothing to look at. It appears to be a couple of single-wides stuck together and converted into a kitchen with walk-up order windows. Do not judge this book by its cover. Instead, take a look at the amount of cars, trucks, big rigs, etc. parked in the tiny lot. It's a little hard to find from the exit, and the map above does not have it right. It's on the west side of the freeway. What brings in the travelers is the hard ice cream. They serve lots of different flavors in lots of different forms, and single scoops are the size of softballs. Of course they also have all the diner "road food" you would expect. Alton Brown would be proud of this place, for sure. Everything is good and fresh, and perfect for the road-weary interstate traveler, and those in tow. read more

A family favorite whenever we're visiting family in Oregon. Tater tots and Umpqua ice cream - Yum!

Yummy ice cream and shakes -- just took them a long time to make our two milkshakes. I think I waited about 10 minutes which isn't so bad, but they weren't doing anything else and realistically, milkshakes don't take that long to make. They were tasty though! read more

Stopped here in a road trip with my family, very cute little drive in, due to covid their tables were tapped off but it would a cute little area if they were open. There was quite a few people so ordered took a bit, not big deal. Our food came out piping hot nice and fresh. I ordered the chicken strips, they were okay. Nothing special. A little disappointed that they didn't come with frys. My husband got the fish and chips, he said they were pretty good. My mother in law got a burger and said she LOVED it. After we finished with out food we went back for dessert. I got a waffle cone which was great and hit the spot. My husband got a milkshake and said it was good and my mother in law got the supreme sundae. It came in a little paper dish and was a big mess. She said it was good as well and the brownie was nice a hot. I would come back again if I was passing through. Nothing to special though, the atmosphere is what gives this place a 4th star read more

I'm obsessed. It was so good. M has noticed this place and has always wanted to stop, so we did. I got a cheeseburger with all the fixings and extra cheese, he got a double bacon cheeseburger. We shared a small fry and chocolate malt. My burger was so amazing, the perfect size, the patty was 3 or 4 ounces and fit on a big bun. I can't stand those awful one pound patty steak burgers. They have lots of ice cream flavors. The fries were not too exciting, the malt was good. My only gripe? They need a bathroom, even a honey bucket would do. read more

Been here a few times, mainly due to the boredom of the road. $3.50 for a scoop of ice cream? Meh. You can get a whole container back home at the grocery for about the same price. Stand in a slow moving line for rude service. No restroom? No place to wash your hands? read more
