A Blast from the Past... 50's Style Burgers & Shakes

  • Family Owned and Operated
  • Quality Food and Great Service
  • Winner Best of Citysearch 2003

Home of the Saturday Night Cruises & Juicy, Messy, Burgers! Come join us at the last remaining XXX Root Beer Drive-In!

Have you seen the giant barrel just off I-90 on your way to or from east of the Mountains and wondered if it was worth a stop? It absolutely is if you're in the mood for the best burger you've had in years, soda fountain confections and service from a staff that enjoys their work just as much as you will enjoy our menu!

XXX is packed with w/ 50's and 60's memorabilia making you feel as if you have stepped back in time!

4 years ago the Enciso family bought this last historic XXX Drive-In in the country and have taken pride in owning and improving such a visible Issaquah landmark.

Stop by for our famous burgers, fries, onion rings and fountain drinks! Be sure to tell them Citysearch sent you!

Editorial Review for XXX Rootbeer – by Hannah Levin

The Scene
As the last remaining outpost of this beloved '50s-era chain, XXX almost feels like sacred ground--or at least a treasure-filled time capsule. A vintage muscle-car theme runs through every aspect of the decor, from the antique-glass nitrous dispensers lining the classic Coke machine to the touches of chrome and hundreds of auto photos decorating the bright, bustling dining room. Servers are consistently good-natured and helpful, but can get overwhelmed by the crowds.

The Food
All that nostalgic charm wouldn't matter if the grill fell short, but the burgers are uncommonly tasty. Liberally seasoned charbroiled patties are served on sturdy toasted buns and embellished with flawless accompaniments: thick, peppery bacon; smoky, piquant "special sauce"; savory sauteed mushrooms, and even generous slices of ham. Fries and onion rings are crispy, golden perfection and the hand-dipped shakes are divine (and their mammoth size definitely dictates sharing).

Editor's Review

This legendary drive-in is a 20-minute drive from downtown Seattle, but well-worth the time for true burger fans.  See the full editorial review.
