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!

Chicken strips, burger, fries, onion rings, and milkshakes

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.

Ask the Community - Lakeview Drive In

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.

Great service have amazing variety in ice cream flavors and toys I got a picky pad from them and…read morecould stop until it was finished. There make your own slime bar was so fun, and the workers were so nice. Would recommend!

This review covers our experience at the ice cream/soda counter in the back of the store--We didn't…read morepurchase any toys or candy while here, so I can't speak to the prices/selection of that aspect of the business. Chelan Toys & Sweets is the second place in Downtown Chelan that serves hard scoop ice cream, with the other being the ice cream parlor located in The Landing. Both of these places are within short walking distance of each other on E Woodin Ave, on opposite sides of the street. The prices at Chelan Toys & Sweets (see photo) are lower than those at The Landing, and they also make floats, flurries, shakes and dirty sodas. While the ice cream at The Landing had more of a gourmet or homemade flavor, the ice cream here was still good enough for our party, especially when it came down to the kids' tastes. Comparing our separate visits to these two establishments, we spent about $30 at The Landing and $20 at Chelan Toys & Sweets for similar orders/quantities of ice cream. Also worth mentioning: the wait lines are much shorter here than at The Landing (probably because tourists see The Landing when they first come into town, and not this place). The staff who served us was very cordial and shared their opinions on the store's most popular dirty soda (when asked), as well as let us sample a few of the cream flavors (they had 24) in advance. Bringing up The Parlor as a comparison one more time, although their ice cream was good, it came at a higher cost combined with longer lines and impersonal, "assembly line" service (with no samples). In contrast, the ice cream counter at Chelan Toys & Sweets had more menu items/options, lower prices, and a personal, "local" (not touristy) atmosphere.

Food was great overall! I was a little sad they were out of jalapeños, but everything we ordered…read morestill hit the spot. The drinks were very strong even the skinny margarita packs a punch, so just a heads up if you prefer something lighter. The guacamole was amazing and definitely a must order. We also tried the trio plate which was pretty good. Loved the location easy to get to and the service was pretty spot on from start to finish. Parking was plentiful off the street, and the restaurant itself is very large and spacious. I'd definitely come back again.

What a great restaurant! Excellent food, impeccable service!…read more First, the service: the hostess greeted us at the door, and immediately took us to our table. Our server, Catherine, was asking for our drink orders moments after we'd taken our seats. And the abundant chips and salsa were at our table moments later. We ordered our food and it came promptly. In short, we felt the staff made sure we were taken care of, this despite the fact that the restaurant was hopping busy. What a great way to run a restaurant! Second, the food: it was excellent. We were all hungry, and each of us polished off our plates, despite generous portions. Catherine asked if we wanted boxes at the end of our meals, which set us all off laughing, since there was nary a scrap left! There were a variety of dietary restrictions, mostly gluten-free or vegetarian, and they happily accommodated. I really had a hankering for chicken tacos, which the server said they'd happily make for me, even though they weren't on the menu. And they were delicious, with a healthy portion of juicy and savory meat, loaded into homemade soft corn tortillas, which I loaded with healthy portions of their house-made salsa. So yummy! Others ordered their Tacos de Camaron (off their ample seafood menu), spinach enchiladas, vegetarian chimichangas (my girlfriend loved them), and Tacos Dorados. Plates were nearly clean when we were done, which speaks to how good the food was. I'm not sure when I'll next be in Chelan, but I can guarantee this will be my go-to when I am!
