Miner's Drive-In Restaurant

The burgers are huge! You definitely get your moneys worth. The service was friendly and fast. They have a large menu so lots of different items to choose from. The outdoor seating is perfect for the summer days. Great place for families.

Was told this was a staple of Yakima and that I had to try it. I was not disappointed at all the food was amazing the portion sizes were huge for the price. I got a double-miner burger, tots, and shake. The food was hot and well cooked. I will be back for more for sure while I stay here.

Showed up late to our hotel and found these guys on Google right by us. Stopped in around 1030 and ordered 3 miner burgers, large fries, and large onion rings. They were busy, but they were turning out orders quickly. We sat and waited about 20 minutes for our food to come out. They building is large, and the outside area is nice. The burgers we got were ridiculous. The whole tomato thing is overkill lol. But these were great basic burgers. All the ingredients play well as they should in a classic butger. What a whopper wishes it could be. They were massive. The fries were OK, and the onion rings were very good. Fry sauce and ranch were goodish. The BBQ ranch was not for us. The prices were all over the place. 9.99 for a plate size burger, but 4 plus for a soda and over 5 for a side of gravy is just weird to me. But whatever, not what I went for. I enjoyed our visit to Miners, and would go again for sure.

Five star on the fast food scale! It had been 25 years since I have been here and it tasted just like what I remeber. Just a big ol good classic burger! The malt chocolate shake was delicious and the fries were nice and crispy. The menu is very large and have many options and I wished I was able to try more. One burger is plenty lol. Due note that the drive thru is opposite than what you think. Its order on the passengers side?!? I didn't ask why, but it made me wan to bring a RHD drive car through!

Wow! What a great meal! And great atmosphere! You can take out, dine in (or outside in the beautiful lawn area). We are coming back again to an established iconic place called Miners!

This place hasn't changed in 25 years. And that's a good thing. Always amazing burgers and a diner atmosphere that takes you back in time. The milkshakes are amazing, it's not a regular menu item but they make an amazing chocolate peanut butter shake. The park benches outside are great in the summer.

The burguers are very delicious and big .it had been more than 10 years since I last tried them. And I came back they are just tasty as before. The place hasn't changed its one of those spots where time seems to stand still everything remains the same.

First time visit and I was starved! Let me warn you about the size! Burger is not large.....it is HUGE! Milkshake was 2inches over the rim!🤪Fries were HOT and crisp like I love them. I couldn't start to eat it ll so fries and milkshake were brown bagged for later. Tons of seating and a Really nice grass outdoor area to eat if it is below 90 degrees!

We stopped here on our way back from a trip to Coulee City. We were told this is a must stop when going through Yakima. First off, there is plenty of parking and will accommodate an RV which is what we were worried about. The restaurant was almost empty, probably because it was nine in the morning and this is a burger joint. The person at the counter was friendly and accommodating. We ordered two deluxe cheeseburgers ($11 each) with tomatoes added and two small fries ($5.55) The food came out quicker than I expected since there is a sign stating food is made to order and may take awhile. The burger and fries were huge! Way too much food for the two of us. The burger was delicious with just enough onion, tomato, lettuce and mayo to bring it to perfection. The fries were hot, crisp and served with fry sauce. Bonus! We only ate about 2/3 of our burgers because they were so big, and only one order of the fries. The small fry could have easily fed three people with leftovers. We also could have easily split the burger. We for sure ate too much:) We ate in the little park outside which is only available to customers. The one thing that is notable to mention, was how clean this area was. The picnic area has beautiful green grass surrounding immaculately cleaned and painted picnic tables. I also used the restroom and it was super clean as was the entire restaurant. For a restaurant that has been serving food since 1948, this place has been well taken care of. Very impressed with the food and customer service at this well maintained restaurant. A must stop indeed.

The seating area is gear. Super friendly place. BE WARNED!!! The portions are HUGE!!! One meal could feed 2 to 3 children. Didn't take much to get to $50 for dinner with way more food than we can eat.

When in Yakima stop at Miner's - It's a must! It's been here since 1948 so it must be good. The menu is very large and the seating area inside is even larger. It's a one of a kind and I for one am glad it's here. Miners is known for their big Miner burgers but also have a decent selection of sandwiches, salads, shakes, etc. to boot. This time I had the Big Miner with cheese and a drink. The burger is certainly large enough for 2 meals (or one if you are a Seattle Seahawks Lineman!). Service was quick but it was early in the day and the place is very clean inside with lots of workers around. A great place to visit and very iconic!

Ordered a miner with cheese and there is plenty to eat here. I split it with my lovely. Love the fresh tomato and lettuce with walla walla sweet onions. Good burger. Plenty of kitsch to see inside and lots of parking and seating. Fun stop. Where is that mine?

This place never disappoints. Love to grab a burger every time I am in town. I am a lifelong customer of Miners. They would really knock it out of the park if they were to expand throughout the US. Delicious food and so many menu options. If you have never been here, add it to your bucket list.

The food here was very solid! People are not lying when they say you should split a meal with someone, the burger is definitely LARGE. The curly fries were really good too Service is what you'd expect for fast food. Nothing bad but also nothing that stands out either. Ambiance is also what you'd expect for fast food. They have plenty of parking and seating outside which is nice.

You have to stop by here if you're interested he area! The portions are HUGE and food is tasty. There's so much dining in space and outdoor seating as well. Service is quick and easy. The place was really packed but food still came out pretty quick. We ordered the cheeseburger and fries and split it, and it was more than enough for us! Definitely share with someone if you can. All food was steaming hot and they have a variety of sauces you can choose from. Will definitely be back here!

I was going to Miners way back when they did not have indoor seating. Just an order window. There was an orchard just East of them where the mall is now. I loved their food back then. The last couple of times I went there the burgers were about 1/2 the size of the old ones. Very thin. And the prices went up. Back in the day Michael Miner was walking around pointing his finger at what needs to be done. Food was awesome back then. Now it's kind of like any burger joint. Nothing special.

Best burger I've had in a long time... drove through Yakima from Portland on the way to Kelowna and wow - this was amazing! My husband and I are foodies and I can't imagine why this place isn't 5 stars! Just make sure if you want the works you order the Miner's burger - and honestly you could probably split it. It's huge!!! Also, if you have a pup or kids with you, the shaded owned picnic table park is immaculate. Enjoy!

The best thing I can tell you about this place is to go extremely hungry! Burgers are humongous and very juicy...very good! Shakes and fries are as good as I've had elsewhere. It's a fun place to eat.

Wow! I wish I would have listened to the yelp reviews when ordering here. Definitely plan on sharing a burger with someone, even if you are starving! Me and my husband could have both shared a burger and fries and would have been enough! Portions are VERY large. Burger itself was delicious, and curly fries were fun. Peppermint milkshake was a fun flavor and would get again. Wait was long, but definitely worth it! I reccomend going through the drive through if the line is long inside and eating outside.

An Oasis in the mall parking lot. I stopped off on a road trip back to Seattle. This is a true piece of classic Americana along the road. The food is massive, the burger was the size of my head and the sundae could easily feed a family. They have tons of seating, a really nice outdoor green area with grass and trees and picnic tables. There is an arcade inside for kids. The drive thru was super fast but the outdoor area was so charming we had to stop and eat there. Everyone was very friendly and everything was very clean. In the shadow of the mall and the desert it was a true oasis and I will definitely be stopping in anytime I'm headed through.

Food is amazing and big portions. The restaurant is clean. The female that took my order was definitely not happy to be there and was rather rude. Different staff in lobby cleaning and bringing out food where very friendly and polite.

Similar to Mikes Drive in. Been around in Yakima since 1948! Huge array of burgers the size of your hand (HUGE, my husband and I could've split 1 burger), fries, shakes, salads, sandwiches, etc. I got the original big burger, he got the double burger, we both couldn't finish ours. We also got a small fries which was equivalent to a large fries from mcDs. And we each got shakes. About $40, but worth the portions!! Inside is huge and well organized, lots of seating, and outside has a beautiful grass outdoor eating area. Large line inside so this place must be the spot when driving thru Yakima. Will definitely be coming back!!

Burgers are large enough to feed two people with a meager appetite, service is quick. Place is clean

As good as advertised huge burgers and very well kept place to sit and eat. Friendly staff and very helpful with suggestions as it was our first time there.

I think everyone knows about this place. A good size establishment near the Valley Mall. This indeed a burger place and they do have options including sub sandwiches. The milkshakes and sundaes are large as the burgers. Considering the volume of food they produce it is done pretty quick. The inside dining area is very large and there is an outside area with tables as well as a drive thru. The part that everyone might not know is there is a special area in back for coaches. If you are a coach you get a free meal for every 5 athletes. And i mean, meal. Coaches get drinks, milkshakes, any items on the menu and even sundaes. The staff also brings baskets of a fries, curly fries and tots as an appetizer. The staff continously takes the coaches during the meal for any refills. If you are a coach, this is a place to visit.

It's been 10+ years since I've been to Miner's, and as luck and necessity would have it, I found myself coming along Hwy 82 at lunchtime! So we stopped! My partner hadn't had the pleasure of a Big Miner's, so I ordered for us. Big Miner's with cheese, onion rings to share, and a couple if fresh strawberry shakes. So, Freaking.Good. All of it...even the fry sauce! Loved it. Try it! You really must.

What a burger! Great BIG burger at Miners! They had the best onion rings I've ever had as well. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal! Loved the picnic tables outside as well - what a treat to truly picnic! This is a Yakima area institution so it's not to miss! Don't forget to have a milkshake!

What a place! We visited twice during our overnight in Yakima. A bit pricey for fast food, but you get your monies worth here; just make sure you're hungry. My partner proclaimed their Chicken Cobb Salad Sandwich to be in his Top 5 Chicken Sandwiches he's ever had. Loved it so much he got it again in the second visit. Their burger and curly fries are MASSIVE! Wish we had room for their shakes. Really cool historic photos and native beadwork on display. Plenty of seating, a bunch of dipping sauces to choose from, and multiple fountain drink machines. The prices are my only complaint. Our first visit was $19 and it only consisted of a sandwich and small fountain drink!! The second visit was a sandwich, cheeseburger and curly fries for $31.

When I was in high school, any time a bus passed through Union Gap, we had to stop for a burger! Now, as an adult, I can recommend the deluxe with cheese, fries and a cherry shake. Delicious! And plenty of parking for non-buses, clean tables, restrooms.

Awesome milkshakes and great burgers!! Open late as well... fried halibut pretty good as well wish they offered it grilled!

Miner's Drive-In in Yakima, Washington, is nothing short of mind-blowing! This isn't just a restaurant--it's a food pilgrimage, an epic journey for your taste buds! From the second your car rolls into that iconic parking lot, you know something extraordinary is about to happen. Your life is about to be divided into two eras: before Miner's and after Miner's. The burgers? Oh my GOODNESS! They're not just big--they're colossal, juicy masterpieces that are grilled to absolute perfection. Every bite is an explosion of flavor that will leave you wondering if Miner's has discovered the secret to burger nirvana. Forget about finding anything else like this--these burgers stand alone at the top of the food chain, unmatched and unbelievable. Now let's dive into the fries: crispy, golden, and so delicious that they'll probably ruin all other fries for you. Paired with those massive burgers, they're the ultimate sidekick. And then there are the milkshakes. Don't even get me started--thick, creamy, overflowing with flavor--each one is a dessert dream come true. There is an actual slice of pumpkin pie in the pumpkin pie milkshake!!They're practically a meal all on their own, but you won't be able to resist ordering one (or two!). The food was beyond Michelin star quality--every bite felt like pure gourmet perfection! After indulging in a meal here, you'll be so satisfied, you won't even think about eating for the rest of the day. It's that incredible!

I love this place for the food, the memories, the seating, and the incredible service. I went here as an athlete coming back from sports, a coach with my athletes, and now as a parent. The burgers are huge and tasty. The selection of sauces and drinks does not disappoint.

Food was good and you shouldn't go home hungry after a meal at this place! I'm a large guy and the Miner burger was bigger than my hand. Go here!

Went in bought a burger got back to Motel no meat! Went back with the burger forgot the bag the fries tried to refuse a refund finally relented and gave me a refund for just the burger. Fries are useless and cold This place continues to have the worst business practices and I would advise anyone to go elsewhere They don't care about customers

The size of the burgers is amazing ! The sauce options and the food options are amazingly big! Lots of food options and great service just be ready if prime time hours and days and get there before the crowd.

Cheat day meal and didn't open order until we got home and it was completely wrong. Wrong burger toppings and wrong side. Pretty disappointed for not only cheat day as well as the price paid.

Food is great and decently priced. The drinks however are $4.45 a cup, so maybe bring a beverage or plan on sharing. Burger was great, halibut and chips had no complaints, and being Alaskan, I'm picky with halibut.

The decor was dated for this historical eatery. The service was quick and the delivery to our table was somewhat disjointed. We received our food first and then about ten minutes later our drinks, not sure why they we not served at the same time? The hamburgers were excellent and worth the price, but the fries and other item were priced separately. All in all a great experience, I would highly recommend. I will probably visit again on my next trip to Yakima.

Pulled into Miners Tuesday night at 12:50 pm alot of workers walking around inside looking towards the drive thru window but No one came over to take my order. I could hear a bell dinging but still No one came over. Very POOR Customer Service.

Pretty good food. If you order a burger, come very hungry or bring a friend to share! They're big! Me and my friend split a cheeseburger and some fries and couldn't eat the fries because we got so full! I'd come back for sure. A quick stop on a road trip was well worth it

Years ago, I had a life changing meal here. It was without a doubt the best burger of my lifetime That was decades ago. On my last two trips to Yakima I chose the Tamale spot down the road and Arctic Circle instead. I felt overdue, so I made sure to return to the mine. The place was beyond busy, but I have to say, the reviews are not glowing. I spent $25 for a burger, small fries and small drink. That is way to much for fast food and way to much for a town most wouldn't pull off the freeway for. The burger this time was average at best. The fries get a 10 and $5 for a small drink is criminal. This place is like The Soprano's. Everyone loves it, but nobody knows why. I will no longer be recommending this place.

Stopped in here today on our way to Seattle. Hubs and I each ordered a burger. And 1 fry and 1 tot. Omg! There was so much fries. And those burgers! Woa! Next time we are going to share one. Neither of us finished ours. We sassy outside in the grassy area, which was nice. I feed the tiny birds some fries, tots and bun. They loved it. The lady that took our order was really nice,and the girl that delivered it was very friendly as well. We will come back.

Staff is awful. Employers are horrid. Food is cold always. Not flavorful. Layout is cool but the smell is not great in there.

We stopped at Miner's Drive in while driving from Bend, OR to Wanatchee, WA as I did not feel like stopping at McDonald's down the street. Miner's is a Yakima institution. Early photos of them look like they used to be called Miner's In N Out. They've been around since around 1948. They were a little busy when I went in to order. I ordered a Big Miner Burger, a cheeseburger and a fish burger. They were slow. I don't think that they have very many wannabe health conscious customers who want a fish burger because the fish burger took forever to cook. The employee kept on telling me that they were working on my order. But, it should not have taken that long as everyone before me and a lot of the customers that came in after me got their food before I did. The burgers were pretty good. My Miner burger was so big that it almost filled up my Dixie 10 1/16th paper plate from Costco. The burger came with lettuce, pickles and onions on a huge burger bun. Cheese was the only difference between my Miner burger and my daughter's cheese burger. My wife did not like her fish burger. The burgers were good. Their slowness was inexcusable. The fish burger was bad. When you go to a greasy burger place, get the greasy burger, not the healthy fish burger. Getting a greasy hamburger will be a lot faster than getting a fish and probably a chicken burger.

Ordered food, walking to table asked lady about tarter sauce, lady became very rude when she was asked about dill tarter, she rolled her eyes and became very nasty. I asked for my money back she argued about that she caused a scene while refunding my money, she called me crazy screamed never come back. Who ever is running this place needs a new manager, the Miners would never have treated us like this, have known Miner family for years and have eaten there for years, I can't believe the lady treated us the way she did while we were going to have lunch.

Great good, good service, but pricey for fast food. $50+ for three people- two milk shakes, two burgers, two fries. Banana cream pie shake was incredible!

Today's experience was one for the books. I was meeting my daughter for lunch on her last day in the Yakima Valley so it would be my last lunch with her for the unforeseen future. She chose Miner's so we both decided we'd go through the drive through, place our orders and meet in the outdoor sitting area. She ordered first, and then I ordered and went to the assigned spot while waiting for my food. She received her food. I waited. I watched people go in after my order was placed and come out before I received my order. Finally after 20 minutes I thought maybe they forgot me so I texted my daughter and told her I was going into the store. I walked in only to hear a young male announce that the woman coming in the door was looking for her order or something to that affect. Then several employees started talking about me. I'd not made any comments or literally said a word at this point. I simply got out of my truck and walked inside. So now I'm thinking, well this is effing rude. That's no way to treat a customer. A lady behind the cash register announces, I think this is the lady here in front of me... Finally another lady steps up to another register and asks if she can help me....all the while everyone is still talking about the lady who came in...WTH is that about? So she proceeds to tell me my order would be another 5 minutes or so...at this point my I've eaten up 25 minutes I could have spent with my daughter. I am annoyed. I was told there were MANY sub sandwiches in front of mine. I have no idea how that plays into my meal being delayed...but apparently it did. The cashier asked if I wanted my meal or a refund and after a few moments I said refund my card please. I have no idea if that was even done. I suppose I'll know in a few days. While all of this was taking place there were two women standing in the background, I suspect they were cooks or preppers, I don't know but they did find the whole thing comical as they laughed. I made eye contact and noted it was not funny. Your staff could have greeted me with politeness and said, "Ya know, we apologize. We're working to get this out to you." Instead they spoke about me with me standing right there. As I turned to walk away, a younger male behind the counter, standing closer to the drive up window said, "she can wait like everyone else". Well, I was waiting and as I waited and waited, I watched as people came and went. I was coming in to make sure my order didn't get lost. The staff really did a disgusting job today.

Miners used to be our go to for stopping after games. I have to say over the years they definitely have gone down hill. The simple tries for "upgrades" to the business that seem to have sporadically happened over the past couple decades, continue to fall short. The poor service has remained consistent though. It is almost never clean in there. Quality of food and the prices are also big disappointment. Gave it 2 starts for nostalgic reasons, miss the way it used to be.

Service was fast and speedy. Staff was knowledgeable and patient in regards to the menu lobby looked clean and organized. The hour that we were there. You consistently saw people cleaning, organizing and checking the lobby area and the condiments area and cleaning table tops inside and outside provide tables and booths inside, provide picnic tables outside and grassy area we brought our boxer, and there was no problem as they sat in the shade while we had our lunch burgers are bigger than my two hands put together. Portions are beyond plenty. Be careful when you purchase a medium as it comes in a large serving. There are signs that state they have the world's best milkshakes. Unfortunately, I ate too much, and had no room to try them. Bathrooms are clean and updated The only critique is the price. We had for burgers three tater tots one fry three drinks. It came out to about $95. If you asked for tomatoes, they charge you for a whole tomato. If you ask for cheese that's extra as well and it's not like a buck it's probably two dollars and some change to add tomatoes and cheese to your sandwich. It was very pricey for a family of four if I come back with my kids I'll probably share a burger as it's very filling

This restaurant is on its last leg. The older woman who took our order was rude. Seriously rude. Rude as in you should fire her. $4 for a SMALL drink. 2 burgers, 1 chili cheese fries, 1 fry, 3 SMALL drinks: $60!!!! Wtf. Save your money. The restaurant is EMPTY for a reason.

When I was told that you can't eat this cheeseburger alone I thought it was a joke. Almost the size of my face! We ordered one to share and fries. They offered to cut in half so this must be a common ask. Simple burger, done well. The fries were perfectly seasoned. The fry sauce is a bit tangier than I'm used to, but may be the way to go from now on. Enjoyed the inside dining area, lots of tables as I'm sure this place fills up especially in the summer.

Bro never in my life have seen something like it was like equal to the mondo burger from the good burger movie. So the term bigger is no substitute for quality is exactly what this place needs to learn. I ordered a double bacon burger chili cheese fries and a big Oreo cookie shake. The burger was massive hence the term mondo burger Lack flavor seasoning and really lacked any personality or character just bland and tasteless the only thing that tasted good was the big thick cuts of bacon. The chili cheese fries was a shock I've never seen it go so badly it looked like something from 711 or your county jail it was absolutely disgusting and honestly I thru the whole thing in the trash after 3 bites I just couldn't stand eating something made so cheap and disgusting. The milkshake tasted really good however lacked any real Oreo chunks I expect to see from a Oreo shake but they did use real ice cream from which was good. Overall experience crap and really felt like a mondo burger and I won't be back it's just not worth the price and the food is huge portions of crap.

First of all it took about 30 minutes to get our food. They decided to put chili on nachos when I specifically said NO CHILI. I would NOT recommend eating here if ur in a rush.

Mary and I stopped in while visiting the area; this place has been open 75 years and we have heard it has a cult like following. We ordered a cheese burger, bacon cheeseburger, onion rings, and a chocolate and cherry sodas. Having grown up during the 50-60s the hay days for sodas, we were surprised by what we got, while they were made with the classic ingredients of soda water flavoring and ice cream, they blended it like a milk shake; I talked with a shift manager and this is how they do it, which is fine, but for anyone wanting a classic soda, very disappointing. The onion rings were over cooked! The hamburgers are big and the ingredients fresh, but the sandwich was almost cold, cheese was not melting on a hot meat patty, only ok. Won't be back.

Best place in town price high. But there portions make up for it you could share a meal with someone there at big j live the shakes too there really good

When on a road trip to Eastern Washington this is definitely a must go to place. It is a destination drive for a final trip for my grandchildren when getting ready for their driver's license. It is papa's final exam. Be prepared to bring your appetite. The burgers are almost enough for two people. The onion rings are great, as are the fries. If you are crazy enough to order the "Big Miner" and a large fries be prepared to take some on the road with you. The fresh berry shakes are outstanding too. Just be aware this is a very popular place and I have seen a line out the door. There is plenty of inside seating as well as outside seating, weather permitting. Bottom line: GO TO THIS PLACE. YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY. YOU WILL BE FULL!!!

Miners has been a must stop staple every time I'm in Yakima. Unfortunately, this time was one of the worst trips. I was there around 1 in the afternoon and there was only 3-4 tables taken and no one in line when I ordered. This seemed very odd to me since Miners is usually always packed. Might have been a sign. I received my expensive (but willing to pay when quality is there) burger and fries. The burger wasn't cut in half as I asked. Not a huge deal. So I cut it in half myself. I didn't really pay attention to the lettuce inside. It was all on one side and I happened to cut pretty much down the divider of lettuce. As I checked the burger I noticed the lettuce was not fresh and was warm and wilted. No common for Miners from majority of my trips. I tried to eat the half with the majority of lettuce and it was too bad to eat. So I moved over to the other half with minimal lettuce. The tomatoes were mushing and obviously old. As I attempted to eat my burger I was eating my fries. They were warm at best and obviously made and sat before delivered to me. Needless to say, I ate less than half of my burger, very few fries, and left Miners very disappointed. As I read through reviews I saw similar experiences to mine. It's usually very fresh and good. Not a good experience this time.
