    Double Mack Burger
    Albert T.

    After a full day of hiking in 105+ degree weather, we needed something fatty and greasy to end our day. Lakeview Drive In seemed like a great spot for our needs. Ordering is simple - go the front to order at the windows, then walk around the back to pick your food up. There was no line for ordering at approx 6PM on a weekday and it only took about 10 minutes before the order was ready. Bacon Burger Basket ($11.95) - Two beef patties with melted American cheese, a stack of crisp bacon on top, what else could you want? On the bottom of the meat was a bed of chopped lettuce and onion, with relish and a mustard/mayo sauce rounding out the burger. The bun is a standard food service bun that holds up well. This basket comes with fries - the fries are thinner crinkle cut. I usually don't like this cut because a lot of the time it turns out soggy. The fries here are fried perfectly and stay crisp while still maintaining a bit of fluffy exterior. If there was one complaint I could give it's that they season the fries with seasoning salt a little too liberally. Once you're at the bottom of the tray, you're basically picking the fries out of piles of salt. Double Mack Burger ($7.65) - No complaints with this, nice beef patty flavor with the same fixings as the bacon burger (sans the bacon and cheese of course) As a bonus, they have fans that spray mist out that help cool you off in the heat. They also have cups and a water dispenser right next to the pickup window (no ice). I recommend Lakeview Drive In for a solid burger.

    A perfect spot for lunch! The service was quick and the food was great! Tough to beat the view too! I will definitely make this a place I stop every time I come to chelan!

    Had a wonderful experience at Lakeview Drive-in. The young lady that took our order was so helpful and so kind and inviting! We waited maybe 5-10minutes for our large order and everything was extremely hot and fresh! The fries and seasoning was just perfect and their fry sauce is to die for! The prices were reasonable and the outdoor seating was spacious with wonderful views! It is a great family place if you are looking for a quick but hot meal! The chicken strips, fries, burger, onion rings and milkshakes were delicious and would recommend anyone to go to Lakeview Drive-In! What a fun and great place for Chelan!

    I've had a lot of bad burgers recently and I was almost about to give up the notion that good burgers ever existed, until I came to Lakeview Drive-In and my love for burgers was rekindled once again. Their burgers are juicy, small enough to fit in your mouth, tasty, and deeply satisfying to this old man.

    A classic at Lake Chelan. The burger is legit and basic. The shake is tasty. I enjoyed the crispy chicken salad as well. This is the perfect simple family dinner place by the lake.

    Does this restaurant allow dogs? or is it only on the patio?

    Dogs are not allowed on the patio area although I do believe they are allowed on the grass areas just off the patio. There is no indoor seating, it is a drive up / walk up burger stand.

The mocktails were not only delicious but beautifully presented, which made them feel a little extra special. For appetizers we had the house bread & butter and the French onion soup. The bread was fresh and paired with a high-quality, creamy butter that tasted amazing. The French onion soup arrived in the cutest little pot with a lid and had a rich, savory flavor with perfectly melted cheese on top. Unfortunately, there were whole peppercorns in the soup (I fished out four), which was surprising and almost ruined an otherwise great dish. Entrées were a mix of hits and misses. The grilled salmon with dinner potatoes was the star of the night--perfectly cooked, flaky, and full of flavor. Absolutely spot on. The crab cakes were a good size with lots of crab and a nicely crisp exterior, but I did find pieces of crab shell in mine. The side salad that came with it was the biggest disappointment--no option to swap it out and the lettuce was visibly brown. We also ordered the mushroom pasta. I didn't personally try it, but it looked great; however, I was told the flavor was a bit lacking. Dessert totally redeemed any small issues--the chocolate mousse cake was incredibly decadent and rich. Definitely a must-try. I even took a slice home for my husband. Service was friendly and attentive, drinks were great, and most of the food was very good. Our total was close to $200 for three people, which felt fair for the quality and the occasion. Would come back again--especially for that salmon and the chocolate mousse cake--just hoping for a little more consistency next time

They had literally nothing from the photos and even pics added from the business owner. I thought maybe the menu changed seasonally or something but the waitress we had didn't even recognize the stuff and said it was probably from one of their other restaurants... I wish this stuff was accurate because the menu we were presented with was a let down after seeing the amazing things online. I will say, however, that everything we got was good. The steak bites were yummy (that sauce!) and my friends that shared the fried chicken sandwich were pleased and that thing was massive. Our cesar salad was also enjoyable. I just wish we had a different experience about the menu and things we got excited about ahead of time. I haven't experienced a Yelp profile being soooo inaccurate before.

She must have been new, so I asked her if she could check and she seemed kind of taken aback. Turns out they do not, so I just got a glass. My friend and I came back the next day and sat at our table for 30 minutes before we had a waiter approach us. After that, we ordered salad and dessert. It all came within 20 minutes, which was decent for the food order but LONG to wait for wine. From the time our plates were clean and glasses empty to the time we got a check was over an hour. Absolutely ridiculous. We tried to just pay at the counter and the woman behind the counter said she was just pouring tastings but not taking payment (so they do have tastings!). Wasn't too crowded on either visit, so I'm guessing maybe they were training a whole batch of new summer staff or something when we went. I would potentially try them again another time of year. Don't go here if you have a tight reservation after.
