When it comes to grabbing a quick meal, nothing beats pulling up to an old-fashioned drive-in. Washington is home to plenty of these laid back, nostalgic spots… and if you’re planning a trip to Lake Chelan this summer, stopping at Lakeview Drive-In is practically a rite of passage. This old school eatery opens for the season in April, which is good news for locals and tourists alike.
The Lakeview Drive-In is a local landmark that has been serving tasty burgers and fries since 1957.
Google It’s located next to the Lakeshore Marina/RV Park and Don Morse Park on the Manson Highway, so it’s impossible to miss.
This is the only restaurant of this nature in Chelan, most likely because no other place could ever compare.
Jamie M / TripAdvisor Between the location, the friendly service, and the consistently mouthwatering food, this place is in a league of its own.
The menu is quite simple, mainly consisting of burgers, fish & chips, chicken strips, and sandwiches.
Tom-H98532 / TripAdvisor The tartar sauce is homemade, and the burgers are always fresh off the grill.
The fries are pretty famous here, and you can even order them by the bucket.
kmacmoo / TripAdvisor If you’re heading out for a day of boating, this will ensure you don’t run out.
If you want to stick around, the drive-in offers some outdoor seating when the weather permits.
Jamie M / TripAdvisor This is definitely the cheapest lakeside dining you’ll find anywhere. And when you’ve finished your lunch, you’ll definitely want to stick around and order a milkshake or a soft serve cone. Trust us.
The Lakeview Drive-In opens on April 4th, and it will stay open until mid-fall.
