Scottie’s Drive In

The number one thing was defiantly the bun! It was perfectly soft and everything you’d want in the best burger bun ever. I could tell the rest of the ingredients were fresh and really high quality. I liked how I could get tots or onion rings with my order as well.

A great burger place. The shakes are very good as well. Highly recommend if you like a good burger.

Jaw dropping. Great shakes, better fries, even better burgers. The fries need salt, but these burgers are to die for. Helvetia Tavern has nothing on here. Ten percent discount to Pacific u students. Coffee shake is sharp without being overwhelming. Perfect! I’m coming here again. And again. And again. And again.

This place is awesome! Best burger place around! Friendly service with a smile! I recommend the super bacon cheese burger, it comes with fries! Bring your appetite because it is a mammoth of a burger! I live in Portland but make the trip (it’s worth it)

Growing up in the Grove and attending school at Tom McCall, it was a class tradition to walk over to Scottie’s after school. Back then (29 years ago) we could go to Scottie’s and get a Baby Cone for $.25 and until their cone manufacturer stopped making the baby sized cones about a month ago, you could still go in and get a Baby Cone for less than $ 1. Raising my child in the same area I grew up in is priceless. To experience all my favorite childhood hangouts with my son all over again for the last 15 years has been great… Yet none are truly greater than going to Scottie’s on our traditional Mother-​Son Days and grabbing a side of tots and one of their many flavors of hand mixed milk shakes. Scottie’s has been a landmark of Western Washington County for decades and I’m hoping it remains around for decades to come. Nothing beats pulling into their iconic Drive-​In parking lot, ordering at the window and eating in your car with the kids. Heck, take the dogs too, they’d love to have their own order of tots with a side of ice cream… I know mine do

Went and got a bacon cheese burger with fries today for lunch. The burger was good and it seemed like they used fresh ingredients. I probably wouldn’t go for the fries again if I went back, just didn’t really have any flavor. The tots I saw on another plate looked great though. Friendly service and they look to employ summer high school students, good for them!

My husband and I drive from Molalla to come to one of the few places that make broasted chicken! I’ve also tried the steak fingers… I’m not a big burger girl, so we’ll continue to drive long distance for the great chicken and fries and great vanilla shakes! This is a great Drive Inn (something we’re losing) in the day of crappy McDonalds that people accept as decent food to consume! Please continue to keep up the great traditions !

I grew up in Forest Grove and Scotties was the best. I have been visiting Scotties for years and when I grew up, I moved far away so now only like maybe once every couple of months. Either way the food was delicious. Apparantley 4 – 5 months ago, they changed their meat company and who they get their chicken strips from, sadly, I will never go back there again. I called up and the person I spoke to said that they use Ponderosa meats now which according to him, tastes better. Well sorry to say but I am not a vegetarian but I also do not like to eat hamburger that tastes like it has just been butchered. The worst after taste ever and I only ate about a quarter of the burger before I noticed the awful flavor. The man on the other end actually had the nerve to say «oh well, if you don’t like it, I guess go somewhere else» really, considering the fact that I just spent 10.00 on a burger meal, you would think he would be a little on the customer is always right side. Well, 25 years later, I am finally ready to say, no more Scotties and will be telling all my friends and family which always frequent there as well, so you can say goodbye to me ane everyone else I know.

This is an old school drive in. You can eat in you car. Not that glamorous but still fun once in a while.
The fries and shakes are a throwback to the 50’s and 60’s. The staff can get behind during rush hour, but are usually helpful.
Chicken strips are very big.

The food is great along with the workers there. I loved the pizza burger because I’ve never heard of a place making a burger like that. It was great! The only problem I had was it was very slow, they need more workers!

3.5 stars, I suppose? Whatever. Scotties = serviceable! I’ve visited a handful of times over the years, and Scottie’s reminds me of Mike’s Drive-​In over on the east side, which I grew up with. Simple, basic, good burgers and fries in a very drive-​in/​diner (but not dive) setting.
I’ve had both the basic single and double cheeseburgers. I like ‘em. Again, nothing fancy, but they’re hot and tasty. Not quite on par with somewhere like Helvetia Tavern, but that’s okay! They’ve got something on the menu called the «Supercheese» which is 3 patties (I think) and corresponding cheese, but the double’s always been more than enough for me. I love Scottie’s fries. Simple, crispy shoestring jobbers. Perfect (for me). I can’t comment on the milkshakes — I’ve never had one. I’m not much of a milkshake guy.
I wouldn’t so much call Scottie’s a destination; rather it’s an afterthought. If you have business in Forest Grove, happen to be hungry and you’re looking for a slice of Americana in a rural setting — Scottie’s is a fantastic choice.

OK burgers, good tots and shakes but it pretty spendy considering the burgers are just ok. I’d rather drive into Hillsboro to get Baker’s Burgers.

It’s not bad, but it’s nothing great either.
The burgers are greasy and flavorful, exactly what you’d expect for a drive-​in. If you like those kinds of burgers, personally I do, than I would recommend this. So I can’t complain in that department.
The fries and onion rings have ranged from bad to okay when I’ve gone there. The fries especially, more than once I’ve gone there to find my fries stiff, cold, and generally unappetizing.
Their ice cream isn’t good. It’s soft serve, so there’s not a whole lot you’d expect from it anyways, but it still manages to disappoint. It’s watery and lacks flavor, not to mention it’s oddly steep price.
Their milk shakes though are actually pretty good, if you’re going there for desert, I would recommend them. My personal favorite is the Oreo milkshake. It’s a bit pricey for what it is, but it is good.
The service is pretty lame, they always seem to be deeply depressed by their customers rather than welcoming. I understand that the service industry isn’t fun to work in, but they could at least fake it.
All-​in-​all, it’s largely what you’d expect from a restaurant like it. Adequate to okay food. The menu does seem awfully expensive for the quality of food. On a whole I’m disappointed, there’s a lot they could do to take their restaurant from just okay to being excellent. I hope that they try to make some of those changes in the upcoming years.

Great local burger joint for good food. All the food is cooked per order. I would give it more stars if open on sundays. Why not close on Monday? Great sof-​serve ice cream I would always get for my kids as they were growing up.

My first review would have only been one stars since I had called one evening to see what their hours were. A young man answered the phone who said «Scotties we’re closed» and hung up the phone.
I could definitely figure out that they are closed with that comment yet, it didn’t help me understand when they are normally open/​closed.
I decided last night to give them a shot again, and happened to drive by and stop. I ordered a double bacon cheeseburger with a side of tater tots. The total cost was $ 7.90.
I had to wait a while for the food to be cooked and delivered to me. That is fine since they were cooking to order, and I would much rather have that, then old food.
I ate my food at home and it was not the best. The tatertots were cooked in old oil, could tell it just by the taste and look of them. Next the double bacon cheeseburger was okay, the burger was dry, and was like any old fashioned burger joint.
I will be back to try their chicken, and ice cream.

been coming here ever since I could remember. would always come here with my dad and get supers with fries. Its the only thing I have had on the menu. Good burgers and fries. yet to try their milkshakes but I will totally try it the next time I go there.

So glad we finally checked this place out! We had a great experience there. You can either eat in the dine-​in area, which is a small room with an order counter with maybe 6 booths, or you can order to go from the outside window. We chose to dine in.
We ordered the bacon cheeseburger, a regular cheeseburger, a Scottie’s Special Burger, corn dog, chili dog, and tater tots for a late lunch. All of the burgers were awesome! Juicy and delicious, not too greasy and perfectly cooked. The Scottie’s Special was really good! The hand-​dipped corn dog was good too! My daughter ate the whole thing and she NEVER does that. We then tried the Pineapple and Pumpkin Pie milkshakes. OH MY! Some of the best i’ve ever tasted! So hands-​down I must say that we really enjoyed the food and shakes.
As far as service, I have no gripes. The guy who took our order was patient and helpful in explaining what the Scottie’s Special was when i ordered it. Then he brought our order out to our table when it was ready and later checked on us to see if we enjoyed the meal. The prices were good, $ 30 fed all 5 of us well.
We’ll definitely be back when we come to Forest Grove! Love Scottie’s!

I remember coming here since i was 10 years old going to school at Tom Mccall Elementary.
Their ice cream is the BEST. I always get the swirl. Its still as good as it was back then. Plus the food here is cheap.
The customer serv. here isn’t the best. They’re all teenage kids prob. from Viking H. S and have that idc about anything attitude. So, don’t expect alot from them.

I understand people think it has some sort of nostalgic quality but does that excuse poor service, a filthy kitchen and seating area on top of terrible quality food?
The place smelled so strongly of old, well used grease and the teenagers behind the counter were all rude (like that popular cocky jock in HS you would have loved to beat the crap out of).
We live in this town and know many people who say the same thing, it «was» once fun but now it’s dirty and overpriced. Of course the ripe old drunk guy sitting inside when we dropped in for a simple ice cream (really how hard can that be?) added to the «overly lived in» charm.
Two Hours later you’ll be saying… pass the Pepto!

This is a Christmas tradition at our house… go cut our tree and eat Scotty’s for lunch. Great burgers and fries. My son and older daughter absolutely love anthing with their chlli — burgers, hot dogs, or just a cup with chili. I love, love, love their «broasted: chicken. I am not sure I have eaten anything else so you will have to take the word of my family wehn it comes to the other dishes.
Shakes always seem to be a favorite and I love the nostalgic décor. Great service and traditional old school drive in burger fair. Skip the Micky D’s and go to Scotty’s We love it!
