    We had shakes, they were AWESOME! Banana shake with real fruit and marshmallow flavor. Blackberry…read moreshake was great too. Burgers were pretty good, fries were unsalted. This is a great place if you're in town or just passing thru. Staff is friendly, inside and outside seating is comfortable, and the bathroom is clean.

    After a day exploring the beauty of Mount Rainier, we stumbled upon Spiffy's in Morton--and it was…read morejust the kind of stop we didn't know we needed. With its weathered sign and old-school charm, Spiffy's has the kind of roadside appeal that makes you hit the brakes. We tried a bit of everything: the Spiffy Burger and fries ( the burger was large and came cut in half with care!), a hot dog, a corn dog, and chicken tenders. Everything was perfectly cooked and generously portioned. ( the crinkle fries were crunchy on the outside and moist and hot inside - I do wish the portion size of fries was larger in the basket. The Spiffy Burger lives up to its reputation-- flavorful, and satisfying. The chicken tenders portion was large were a hit with the kids. Both boys tried the Cherry Coke shake of the month and expressed how good It was. Though it has a rustic look, don't let appearances fool you. The food is good, the prices are more than fair, and the staff is as friendly and welcoming as you could hope for. There's a reason this place draws in locals, travelers, and nearby workers alike. If you're anywhere near Morton, make time for a stop at Spiffy's. Whether you're craving a burger, a shake, or just a quick, satisfying bite--this spot delivers. The reasons for the 4 rating are : fry portion size in the basket and the burger although exactly what I expected but bigger, was out of the freezer and not homemade. Which is fine for a diner but makes this a 4.

    Parking in the front on the street or a few spots behind, if you get lucky. Seat yourself and you…read morewill be greeted quickly with menus. We come mainly for brunch on Saturdays at 11:00 am (occasionally Friday or Sunday) and sit in a booth. Here about every 6 to 8 weeks and shocked I haven't written a review yet! Server / main front of house person always remembers us and is kind and super friendly, even when she's busy. It's a diner with reasonable prices - I've had the breakfast sandwich, corned beef hash, mix of Ala carte side options, main breakfast with meat, omelette or scramble... my dad usually gets the 55+ 2 egg Denver omelette and my brother will change it up, too. It's also kid friendly, if you want to bring a kiddo. Food is always good, I try to remember not to eat a first breakfast at home in the morning when we come out so I'm hungry. Nice to have a regular spot to go to when we visit where we know the food will be good and the people are nice.

    Came here looking for a burger and milkshake after hiking in a nearby town with my daughter. Had…read morehigher hopes for this mountain town diner. The place is pretty run down which isn't an issue for me if service and food are decent. There was one waitress for the entire joint. She was nice but overworked and therefore took her a long time just to stop by our table. Ok, that's fine. The real problem was that there was only one cook too. By the time I realized the mistake I had made by staying here, it was too late. It took 55 minutes from when we sat down to when we were served lunch. There were maybe 4-5 average size parties of people there in booths of about 2-5 people each. The dessert menu was entirely cake and pie from the dessert counter but the rotating dessert refrigerator had literally one pie in it and a piece of another pie that looked like it had been in there awhile. The pie refrigerator itself looked unsanitary. The bathrooms are in desperate need of basic maintenance/renovation--I pee in a lot of pit toilets and honeybuckets so a gross bathroom doesn't usually phase me, but being a foodservice business, the condition of the bathroom was alarming. The food was as expected--the chicken ranch bacon wrap was very large but I didn't taste much chicken, mostly just mayo, lettuce and bacon bits. The burger looked decent and the fries were standard frozen deep fried which were fine. I really do like to support mountain diners when I come off long hikes, but this one didn't hit the mark this time. Even just one more extra hand would have made a world of a difference.
