The hard ice cream comes out first but it is so cold that it barely melted despite 20 minutes in 90 degree weather. This is a super popular place but the kitchen is very efficient. Outdoor seating is shaded and they brought our dog a bowl of water before they even delivered our order. .My husband's fresh strawberry shake was a 4, as was his bacon cheeseburger. My patty melt was very good. 4+. Huge portions. I foolishly ordered two scoops of ice cream. A cup filled 6" tall and wide. It was more than enough for us plus the dog. Two hand built patties on the patty melt. Maybe 10 onion rings in an order. Most of our lunch came home with us. Be aware that the "bathrooms" are 2 portapotties out back. The hand washing stations and the hand sanitizer were empty. read more

This is the best cheeseburger in Oregon. I love a few places around Seattle to bend but this is it. Get a milkshake, pop, burger (American cheese, lettuce, pickle white chopped onion, special sauce, no tomato for me)and the fries a bit to salty but who cares because the burger is the best and the fry sauce is so good. I don't love milkshakes and at Sno-Cap I love them. read more

The burgers n fries were good, nothing special about the food, but I refuse to pay $80 for 4 people to eat there again. And only 1 of us ordered a shake, 3 of us had no drinks. read more

Great roadside classic American burgers and shakes, the best part about it they have outdoor seating and water bowls for the puppy! Well worth the stop. read more

I love good, homemade ice cream. And I know this place has good ice cream because there is a line to get in the door! We opted for milkshakes - butter pecan for me, and chai for the hubby - thick and delicious. Worth the wait. I think they need to rework their service area. There were a few food mix-ups, and the logistics could be greatly improved with a little effort. Food for thought. But the ice cream is great! read more

SHAME ON YOU...for making this TX girl fall IN LOVE with your delicious food n shakes!!!! I have found a NEW LOVE!! BY FAR the absolute best burger I've had in this beautiful state! HANDS DOWN and I tip my Chef hat to u n ur nostalgic business! Had the munchies n my wyfe suggested this place, she had driven by this place on numerous occasions but never stopped until this day. We ordered a cheeseburger with fries n a pumpkin shake n aftr we ordered the line grew quickly, shake came out first, creamy, cold, n delicious! Tasted lyke a pumpkin pie in a cup also was easy to drink so the thickness was great! A few minutes later the rest of my order came out n we left. Our bag of goodies were hot n smelled delicious took out the burger n fries n set us up to eat on the road. The burger....omgee the burger!!! The buns were nice n toasted which kept the buns soft n not mushy from the condiments n the fries were crispy n hot so good but the star of the show was that dam burger!!! The meat was juicy n the added stuff just made it that much better, I was in HEAVEN!! Eating that food put a smile on my face that lasted all the way to Portland n the next day I was craving it again. Now I am back in Texas n I dream about that dam burger! I WILL b stopping in again on my way back to Bend! Thank you for that amazing food! read more

The best of both worlds and by that I mean they have real ice cream and soft serve. Call me crazy, but sometimes I just want a vanilla/chocolate swirl. This is an old fashioned drive-in style diner with a few small tables inside. Your basic burgers and fries, but way yummy ice cream treats. Enjoy! read more

There is almost always yummy and delicious! Comes out hot and fresh, but they definitely need more help.

These used to be The Best!! Stopped today while traveling home. Told 10 minute wait which was no problem. They remind you these are Not Fast Food, which is good. It was just 11:30 am, burgers were completely cold which told us they made them ahead of lunch hour and had them sitting around. No flavor and not good. And only a port a potty for customers. Dining room still closed from COVID? Will not stop again. read more

We ordered a bacon cheese burger, a double bacon cheese burger, an onion ring, a medium eggnog shake and a medium chocolate chip mint shake. Total was reasonable. Shakes were promptly made and delivered. Food was delivered shortly there after. Food was hot and burgers were juicy. Bacon was crispy!!! Tomato was fresh and thick. Fry sauce went very well with onion rings. Everything was delicious. A day later... my husband is still raving about his meal... and is ready to go back for another. read more

What you think of when you say burger joint. And when you say mouthwatering in this case it's not much of an exaggeration. If you like a little grease at the corner of your mouth you came to the right place. Pretty sure most come for the ice cream and shakes. You will not be disappointed except for the wait. In the warmer weather expect to find lines 8, 10 or 12 deep. This is not fast food and nor are the prices but by Portland or Seattle standards it's affordable. Booth style and cramped seating. And essentially no parking. But that's not why you come here. It's the taste and a little bit of funk. read more

Not so fast food! Took a long time to order, and an extraordinarily long time to receive the food and shakes. Shakes came in many delicious flavors, including some local options like various berries. They were excellent. The burgers were gooey, and tasty, but really too messy. Especially as the only restrooms were port-a-potties way around the building. So no place to wash up. Just felt cheesy, overall. The outdoor tables weren't very clean, either. Higher marks for the food. Lower marks for the slow service and dirty conditions. read more

We were told this place had awesome shakes. We ordered a chocolate malt and weren't sure they added the malt. Long lines for little reward. Bummer! read more

This place has the best malt I have EVER had! Fast service and DELICIOUS FOOD and MILKSHAKES. The Marionberry milkshake is full of Marionberries! And the FRIES! Some of the most tasty fries I have ever had the privilege to taste, perfect amount of crispiness! Would recommend to my grandpa who is a strong malt judge, he would appreciate the use of real, homemade ice cream. Honestly I would recommend to anyone. Great if you're driving back from a day trip. read more

Sno Cap Ice Cream - Marionberry Shake and fries - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Sisters, Oregon

We were referred to Sno Cap buy a fellow Californian who visits Oregon frequently. It did not disappoint. I wasn't expecting it to be so small, but on the day that we went, even though it was crowded, we got our ice cream pretty quickly. The teens who were working behind the counter were efficient and pleasant enough. Well, I guess pleasant is an overstatement. the thing is, the ice cream was so good, and the prices were so reasonable that I really didn't need them to be all smiley and excited. The chocolate chip cookie dough was super creamy with huge chunks of cookie dough and chunks of chocolate. It was delicious. My daughter got root beer float. I wasn't impressed with how it looked, but she loved it. They're sitting outside, and parking is a little limited, but I think it's worth the stop! read more

The Snow Cap has been a staple in Sisters for as long as I can remember, and probably long before that. Sadly, it seems to have gone downhill as the years go by. Like, they are relying solely on the fact it's a staple place in a small town and the quality they once had. I've only been in here a handful of times, on my way through town, but I've always enjoyed their ice cream. Food leaves a bit to be desired, especially after the always long wait times. It's just kind of average. These days I just skip the food and stick to the ice cream. Or just skip a visit here completely and keep going. The restaurant is always dirty to me, and it's a challenge to find the cleanest table. In reading other reviews, I feel lucky that I've never experienced the yelling matches between employees before. It's seriously like it's gone completely downhill and nobody cares anymore. I find that sad. Ten years ago, this place was amazing, thriving, and there was quality. I would've given it 5 stars all day long. Instead, I've watched it steadily decline. Would I return here? Ehh, it's always a toss up for me these days. I love the ice cream, but nothing else. So It's one of those things I'd almost rather just skip. Review 171 of 2017. read more

If you want to find delicious ice cream, great burgers and yummy chicken strips than this is your place! It has all of that, plus it is kid friendly, dog friendly and great for groups! Are you looking for a quick place to feed some hungry kids at? Don't worry! Just drive right up and order at the window, and in seconds, your kids will be happy again!! read more

Ordered the bacon cheeseburger with tots and a side of ranch. Salted caramel milkshake and bottle of water. With $2 tip it came to $20ish. As is made clear this is not fast food so be patient. With that being said, I had my milkshake in 1 minute and it was delicious. Food took about 10 minutes but was also worth it. Bun on the burger was light and fluffy, burger was all around tasty. Tots with ranch was also good. Tables outside on a hot day were nice thanks to the awnings. I've had ice cream here many times and always enjoyed it, this was my first food experience and it won't be my last!! read more

Sno Cap is so popular, there's always a line. But! It's worth the wait. Whether you're getting a burger, fries, ice cream or a delicious milkshake , you can't go wrong here. Sno cap has been a Sisters staple for many years and frequented by the locals and visitors, too. Stop by! read more

We came here for lunch. There was a big line around one in the afternoon. I ordered the pastrami burger, chili fries and a chocolate milkshake. I got my milkshake first. It was thick and chocolatey, but not too sweet. It was really refreshing. All our food came out at the same time. My burger was really good and the pastrami wasn't too salty. They were kinda heavy on the pickles and I don't like those so I just picked them out. The big hit was the chili fries. The chili was flavorful, but not too spicy. It was a nice and filling lunch. read more

A little disappointed in the lack of a bathroom. They told me to go around the block to find a port a pottie that did not exist. Chicken basket was ok but for 3 fries we not received 4 ketchup packs after asking for more sauce.... read more

Best milkshakes and burgers in Sisters! The mushroom Swiss is a standout. Oh, and the Oreo shake with it.

This is like your standard burger joint but it has such a vintage original vibe to it. You feel like you're in an authentic burger joint. The ice cream is home made and you can tell. They have plenty of burger options and other sandwiches. They offer breakfast until 11am and lunch until 7pm. The staff here is very friendly and accommodating. The resteraunt itself is a little on the small side so I would recommend keeping your party to about 4 people max. Great food! read more

Snow cap is a must stop place in Sisters. So many flavors of shakes, delicious tots & a great tasting old school American cheeseburger. It tasted delicious! read more

I was very hopeful when I saw the long line thinking the food must be good. Nope I was wrong. Not only were the burgers just average, they are overpriced average burgers. And the fries and onion rings, average at best. When I pay $17.05 for a bacon cheeseburger with onion rings, I do expect great tasting food. The burger still needed seasoning as did the onion rings. There is no inside dining anymore and tables that are there for outside dining needed to be cleaned more frequently as well as the trash cans needed emptying. I hope that the shakes are better than the fries because if Sno Cap were a block off the Main Street, I seriously doubt if they would exist. Sorry, this is not a great place to dine - the burgers are overpriced and just average at best. Will pass SnoCap by and go to McDonald's next time. read more

So delicious when you are hungry and don't want to cook (or any excuse )! Our family of four appreciate the care taken by the staff to make delicious food that's definitely NOT 'fast food' blah. Thanks for showing up and working! read more

All I've had so far at Sno Cap are the bacon cheeseburger, fries and onion rings ( not at the same time), but they're delicious. They make rootbeer malts there too, which are hard to find. They have a lower Yelp rating than I expected. They've always been great for me and they're always pretty crowded. Give them a try! read more

A shadow of its former glory. Been coming here for decades and this was our last visit. They had run out of most condiments, but the food was all just frozen junk tossed in the fryer. They used to have legit, big juicy burgers - no more. And the shakes had zero flavor- just a hint of huckleberry - we care so we politely told them and they were uncaring and just said okay and closed the window. This was very expensive garbage. No more drive thru, indoor seating or service of any kind. Outdoor tables were sticky and garbage cans overflowing. Never again. Sad given how cool it used to be. read more

Something has gone wrong here. It took one hour from start to finish to get out order at snowcap. Checked in on Yelp when we got in line, we are the first group right outside the door to go in a place our order, five tickets up on the carousel, takes exactly one half hour from where we get in line to place our order until we receive our food. When we are handed our food we ask for fry sauce And are told there's some in the bag, get to the car, no fry sauce. No way am I going back in. Normally after only one bad service experience I wouldn't change my review. But this past experience comes off the two visits previously where we were helped by the most unhelpful and unfriendly person on staff. This is the third visit where I haven't seen the owner. New owner? New management? Bottom line is that they have a staffing issue, in my opinion. Food and Shakes continue to be really good even though the wait for the food this time was pretty darn long. They say they aren't fast food and I respect that, but to wait a half hour for food at any restaurant is a pretty darn long time. I'm not going to stop going to Sno Cap because it's your best bet when coming through town after a trip or when you're about to start a trip. But I am really bummed that the service has deteriorated so much. read more

Sno Cap Ice Cream - Twice now I've had the misfortune of being "helped" by this young lady. Luckily the shakes continue to be great. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Sisters, Oregon

Good chocolate peanut butter milk shake.

Sometimes first instincts are unwelcome and prophetic. We walked in and began to review the overhead menu. When I began asking about the burgers a local interrupted enthusiastically, "These are the best burgers in town!" I said, dryly, "Sisters is a small town." I asked what makes an "Old Fashion" burger old-fashioned. (A freshly ground hand-formed patty like L.A.'s long-running Cassell's is a good start.) They said. "All the burgers come with lettuce and tomato." Wow. Not even freshly-cut fries. $9 is much too expensive for a quarter-pound nothing-that-special burger with pre-frozen fries. Too much mustard. Canned mushrooms. Overcooked bacon. Stingy on the pastrami. None of the three burgers we ordered were worth the stop. But making a good fry sauce -- and calling it fry sauce when not in Utah -- and serving grilled onions instead of cold, raw ones, is enough to raise Sno Cap just above a one star burger dump. read more

This place is solid, for a road-side diner. There's a great variety of ice creams/shakes/sundaes and the burgers are pretty good. A tip for ordering, if you want a shake and the same time as the food, let them know. Otherwise, the shake comes out, and the food can take a bit. I like a chocolate soda, and it's always done well before any food comes out. For me, with this place, it's usually food or treat, not food and treat. read more

No plantbased/ vegan options whatsoever other than the soft drinks. Not even one of the ice cream flavors was vegan and my 4 year old son was crying because he saw everyone else getting ice cream and we could not because we don't eat dairy or anything that comes out of animal bodies. It's 2023 and we're facing a climate crisis: by now we should all know how horrible animal agriculture is for the planet. Not only is sustainability an issue, there's the huge animal cruelty issue, and the health/ allergy issue. Over 75% of humans are lactose intolerant and for the rest at the very least it causes indigestion and weight gain. Please offer options for people who are wanting to avoid exasperating the resource depletion on our planet, animal cruelty, and health issues. It's not complicated or hard to switch out dairy for vegan milk/ ice cream or animal flesh for plant based meats. Not only would you be doing the planet, animals and peoples bodies a favor, you'll make more money too. read more

We were on a mission. We were told they had the best milkshakes that brought all the tourists to the yard. They were right! Quintessential AMERIKAN drive-in, in fact big a** motor men in chaps, American flags, you name it. But the shakes- seasonal flavors such as strawberry and marionberry. The burgers are meh. I mean its burgers and fries so I mean it beats corporate Max Steak House otherwise known as MC D's. Not a fan of honey buckets! Please get a public restroom if I am going to eat greasy spoon American food, I want a potty not a pit toilet. read more

If you want a greasy burger, some greasy onion rings and some good fries ~ AND want to add an awesome thick shake ~ you gotta hit Sno Cap in Sisters, OR.

I was expecting a greasy burger and fries to just call lunch but this place was great! The chicken burger was juicy and crisp, the burger was perfection, the produce was super fresh and the fries were perfectly salted and not greasy at all. And the shakes were amazing. Wished we had left room for ice cream because it looked delicious. The dining room was cozy, welcoming and fun. Great place to grab a bite and not be disappointed by any of it. Oh I forgot to mention the fry sauce was super tasty. A little more peppery than I expected but it really worked. read more

Been coming here since I was a child. It's always been quality food and great timing. If you have never been here, you are missing out!

Aww I loved this little place! It's not fast food, so don't expect it. But the burger was so yummy and the milkshake was like a good old fashioned milkshake. Kind of hard to find anymore. I'll definitely be stopping by again read more

Really good milkshakes! We got banana and Oreo and both were really good. Long line, but it went pretty quick.
