    Sundae
    Keely N.

    Very crowded but Sugarpine drive in is truly the perfect location to grab a bite, a sweet treat, or a drink after a day at the gorge. I haven't been in a while but their menu has definitely elevated with many vegan options. The line was long on a Thursday as the parking lot was crowded. Once in a cool moon was delicious! All plant based and wow the ube cake was my absolute favorite, along with the blueberry soft serve. So refreshing!

    Our friends highly recommended this spot so we made a point to stop here on our way into Portland. The scenery was beautiful surrounding the drive-in, which also has some indoor and patio seating. They have a nice big parking lot and it was free to park when we went on a Monday. There is a trail and playground nearby so it was nice to enjoy our ice cream after over there. I loved how they had coloring pages and crayons at the counter for the kids to kill some time while waiting for the food! I loved that they had some Asian inspired flavors on the menu which I was not expecting! I kept it simple with a grilled cheese which they serve on a waffle and I also added pulled pork for a small upcharge. The tomato soup pairing was so delicious and it was such a comforting meal in the foggy overcast weather. For dessert, we tried the rainbow brite seasonal sundae, which had these ripe mangoes and ube swirl inside. It was so cute with the little rainbow jellies! The vanilla soft serve itself was really good so I think I would've been happy whether it was a plain sundae or completely loaded like this one. We also tried the guava cheesecake cookie, which was huge and I loved the guava cheesecake filling. Sugarpine did not disappoint and it definitely lived up to the hype. It's a little bit outside of Portland, but definitely worth the drive for the scenery and the food!

    'Cherry Colada' parfait
    Taisiya S.

    Food: The regular price of their sundaes are about $10 but really $12 once you include the 20% tax. The flavors were good though. We had the Chery Colada parfait which was a vanilla with cherry and pineapple and the Once in a Blue Moon which is a blueberry ube mix. The cuban pork and boriqua bbq chicken sandwhiches were approx $18/$22 with tax and $17/$21. So you can easily spend over $100 for a family of 4 stopping for lunch. No judgement, just letting you know what to expect and you can decide if it's worth it for you. Service: Non existent in the sense that you stand in line order at a window and seat yourself if you can find a spot, your food comes up at a window, and you throw your own trash out afterwards, but they charge you 20% extra on every items. Why not just raise your prices 20% and put a sign that says no tips? I guess employees would earn more money when it's busy on a Sunday but make less when its slow? To each his own. I'm just letting you know what to expect. Ambiance: It's a walk up sanwhich and soft serve ice cream food place in a great location by the Sandy river. We came on a Sunday and it happened to be their Anniversary celebration so they had a dj and they were doing a collab with some burger place. On this day, it was either pulled pork or bbq chicken sandwhich options or the burgers and the sign said food could take as long as 55 minutes in addition to the line that was over 30-45min long. So we opted for their sundae specials for $8 and burgers because we assumed the burgers would be cooked faster while we were still in line for the ice cream. But NO! Despite no line and nothing being cooked when we ordered, the burgers weren't ready until long after we got our ice creams and finished. Burgers were actually a bargain! Only $48 for 3. So that was only $16 each. Parking was awful. Seating was not much better, we were able to find a table to share with others. I had been wanting to come here for years seeing them on IG and here on yelp but don't make it out to Troutdale very often. So I was happy to finally try them out. Unfortunately I don't know if it is always a 1-2hr commitment. I probably wouldnt make a trip just to come here, but if you are on the Sandy river next door, an ice cream to share is probably not a bad deal.

    Caesar with shrimp, pork sliders
    Lily C.

    Visited on a holiday weekend expecting a long wait but this drive in knows how to handle a crowd! The line is efficient and ordering is easy (especially when everything that you see coming out of the kitchen looks delicious). The pork sliders and Caesar with shrimp were made with fresh and flavorful ingredients and I can't wait to try their next season menu! Second round was sharing every specialty sundae and we could not decide on a favorite! Plus the presentation of each one was absolutely stunning! I also ended up leaving with merchandise, their graphic designers are killing it!

    Chicken & rainbow carrot sandwiches.

    Make this your new summer spot. Impressed is an understatement when it comes to this place. This is a killer restaurant masquerading as a simple drive-in. My partner took me here on a surprise date and it is one of my new favorite spot! We tried the pulled Porcetta & Harissa sandwiches. Both were incredibly flavorful, creative, and surprisingly high-quality. The soft serve "Larch Mountain" also ROCKED our world. Definitely the best soft serve I've had. On the simpler side, their Gin Spritz cocktail was very balanced and floral. The service team were also incredibly friendly, organized, and efficient. They even made good on a mistake with our order. Lastly, don't sleep on the hats. I got one & it's my new favorite.

    Giant cookies
    Mindy P.

    We were headed to Sunriver from the Portland area and decided to stop and get lunch on the way. This place had been recommended so why not? Located conveniently off the freeway and on the Sandy River, this little drive in has lots of indoor and outdoor seating. You can drive through and order or stand in line to order. They have lots of ways of ordering and convenience. It's a very pretty environment to eat lunch. Service was super friendly and they have lots of staff! The menu is seasonal. We ordered the waffle grilled cheese with tomato soup (sandwich comes with kettle chips) and the antipasto salad, as well as two giant cookies for later. The food was delish! I don't think I'd order the tomato soup without the sandwich. The salad was a small size--heads up. But the food was plenty for me and the hubs. You can order soft serve ice cream when you pick up your food order (you can pretty much order it all kinds of different ways--they want you to have the ice cream). They have 4-5 flavors, also seasonal, including plant based. They have magic shell in different flavors and sauces and toppings. Gourmet stuff and delicious! The ice cream was creamy and delish! We had vanilla with butterscotch shell and hazelnut waffle cone bites. Definitely worth a visit!

    Shrimp Roll
    Elisha J.

    The important pieces: The environment is what is so amazing, it's at a park, it's beautiful, and they have yummy ice cream. The food is really good, but I had the shrimp roll, and some of the ingredients seemed like they were there to add an ingredient not add a flavor. Otherwise great stuff, it was a little pricey.

    The only thing I'm bummed about is the fact that I didnt know about this sooner!! Sugarpine is awesome. After a good morning filled of hiking, we stopped by for lunch to refuel and were amazed. We had the Pulled Porchetta, Sugarpine Salad, and made sure we saved room for dessert because their icecream looked insane (it was). The food looked almost as good as it tasted. The sandwich was packed with flavor and kept you coming back for more. The salad was fresh and had great ingredients. For dessert we had The Larch Mountain Sundae and it was out of this world. They have some seating in the main dining area but the majority of it is covered outside. FYI, you order at a window and then they bring food out to you so it is self serve for the most part. They also automatically add 20%. Great spot on your way back into Portland. Highly recommend!!

    Strawberry ice cream and lager!
    Amy K.

    Went on a Friday around 1:00pm. Walk up line was about 30 deep. Took about 20 min to order. Also has a drive thru. Ice cream comes out pretty quick. We got strawberry/pistachio I think. It was perfect. Strawberry purée was fresh. Lil salty taste with pretzel. Big cake like pieces. Yum. Lager beer was really really good. Ordered the chicken Marrekesh wrap. Forgot a photo! Wrap was pretty tough and I ended up just eating insides. Chicken was wonderfully seasoned and tender. Pretty onion heavy for me. Easy to pick off. Would try pulled pork next time. Seating inside is pretty tight. Outside has picnic tables and open areas where people brought blankets to hang. Would return.

    Very busy! I'd recommend only going on weekdays or right when they open if you can only make it on a weekend. They are busy for good reason. Food and ice cream are excellent. It's a unique menu that you really should try. Price point is a bit steep, but it's clearly not stopping anyone from visiting. Good place to bring tourists to, I'd say.

    Vanilla Ice Cream with Sugar Cone
    Allison H.

    I was not impressed with my visit here. If you were thinking of typical drive-in food (simple burgers, fries, milkshakes), this is definitely not the place to go. When ordering inside, it felt dirty as there were so many flies which made it feel unappetizing to eat inside. The person taking my order wasn't very kind, either. Luckily, there is some picnic table seating outdoors. I ordered vanilla ice cream (expensive!) and it was good, but I would recommend you check out the menu before you stop by.

    Food: 4.5/5 Service: 4/5 Seating areas: 4/5 Located in a spot away from city, perfect little spot to stop by returning from hikes nearby or on your way into town. Service when ordering was great but just okay when grabbing our food. The food was tasty. I got pulled pork sliders - Pulled Porchetta. The portion was perfect for my post-hike appetite. Pulled pork was juicy, aioli was the perfect sauce they could have paired it with. Cookies looked amazing. Our soft serve ice creams were delicious - would def come back for that! Lots of vegan friendly options & toppings for whatever you're in the mood for. I guess my complaints come down to: paying to park (but I also assume it's due to the park nearby), seating is self-seated BUT only after you order making it harder for larger groups, bathrooms available being the park bathrooms down the path, and the 20% auto- service fee /gratuity for you to pick up your food promptly, grab your own water and buss your own table without any actual customer service outside of what you get when you pick up your food. Not trying to criticize their business model, just not understanding what the service fee is for & why it's not just embedded into their prices. I guess for my complaints, I'll do drive thru next time.

    Bennette I.

    The ice cream always exceeds your expectations. I got the pretzel strawberry and it was all vegan - you could not tell. It was a definite 10, didn't leave one bite behind!!

    Is there any indoor seating with air conditioning ? Over 100° today. Might have to go elsewhere:(

    There's indoor seating, but it's not very cold in there and they are closing early because of the heat! Check their instagram for updates!

    Do you have restrooms?

    There are public bathrooms in the park that adjoins this property.

    Is there any indoor seating?

    There is covered seating but it isn't truly indoors.

    Is there a gluten free menu?

    Yaaaassss! They will wrap the sandwiches for you in kale I think! Delish!!!

Walking into the Soda Shop, it feels like a kid's daydream. There was candy and souvenirs everywhere, a big ice cream counter, and, of course, the soda shop. I noticed that they also sell food here-- it smelled amazing and I would definitely give it a try if I came again. Ordering was easy, and the young man behind the counter was really helpful-- I had never been to a soda hop before, so I had some questions about the options. He did not make me feel silly for having questions, and he did a good job of both training his coworker and being attentive to the line at the same time. I ordered a sugar free salted caramel soda (there were so many sugar free options!!!) It was delightful. I was a little apprehensive that it would actually taste like the flavor, but I was pleasantly surprised. The price point is higher than you would pay for a normal soda, but I think that the novelty of the experience is worth it. We had a great time, and would definitely return (I want to see the upper level, too-- that was closed for a private event when we stopped in).
