Ike’s Drive-In

Place is no longer in business. We ate there once, ehh, nothing special. Fast food joint would be better, vowed never again. Spar Tree across the street put this place to shame. Damn good burgers are at the Spar Tree, he does a great job.

A typical Diner. We had breakfast here on a Sunday morning. Food is OK, not great, but OK. Service is friendly, if a bit distracted. I think this is one of only two breakfast places in the area. This one was recommended by the locals we asked.

This is a classic Granite Falls establishment… I have been coming to his place since I was a child growing up in this small Washington town… Now I try to get back for a meal anytime I am in the state…
Delicious food and great prices, the burgers are the best In town for sure and prob the best around for a few miles in any direction… The breakfast available until 11 AM is generous portions of tradition breakfast items prepared well and fast… also the milk shakes are fantastic and available in quite a few flavors…
Bottom line: this is fantastic place to have breakfast or lunch and should you find yourself in this little country town most def stop by and check it out…

It was typical diner food, I had a mild stomach ache an hour or so later.

This place is a dive. Food is greasy, but taste ok. The only thing going for this little town.

Best French Fries in the world! Real potatoes, not too thin, not to fat, and not greasy. The Deluxe cheeseburger was excellent as well. Everything was fresh and genuine.

I was in the neighborhood and I stopped by Ike’s for some lunch on a Thursday afternoon. The establishment has a very classic American feel to it.
It didn’t take long for me to get seated and the waitress was very prompt in getting me water and a menu. There was a wide variety of food selection for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with bargin prices. I chose the ranch burger of the lunch combos that offered salad or soup with your entrée. The sald was fresh and the burger came promptly after I ate the salad. The chicken was grilled perfectly and the meat was tender. It was not overcooked like many other places I have been to.
The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was full of christmas spirit and granite falls history. Overall, It was a satisfying experience. I will come back to try other food selections if I am in the neighborhood again. I wish this restaurant was located closer to the greater seattle metro area, so I can go more often.
Pro: Staff, food, atmosphere, price
Con: location

Fantastic Food at a take out price.
We’ve eaten at Ike’s a bunch and I have never heard the cook say anything in the four years I’ve lived here. We’ve even said hello and he just grinned and nodded. To hear him speak would have shocked me, to hear him rant would have probably made me laugh, as he and his wife are VERY Korean. Nothing wrong with that, but his wife is very sweet and loves to talk and has a THIIICK Korean accent as if she just moved here.
All that said I hope they worked it out, because that would have not been cool to watch for the uninitiated.
The food here is fantastic, and I hope the first review scares everyone off, because they are usually always busy anyway, as they are the only «American Diner» (Korean Owned) in town.
My absolute favorite is the tempura fried Mushrooms. They are always done fresh and have a fantastic flavor to them Breakfasts are excellent, Burgers are Awesome, Turkey club on sourdough is absofreakinglutely fantastic.
I promise you won’t regret it. Enjoy and remember everyone is stressed and shouldn’t have to suffer when they pop a cork. I’m sure everything was made right with the staff.
I read the first review and the woman was right. It’s a diner! There is no china place settings and the plastic drinking glasses are not brand new (but they aren’t paper). The diner does not have a new art deco theme to it. It’s a freaking diner in Granite Falls. They will serve you wonderful fresh food on clean plates and clean glasses while not generating a bunch of paper trash.

If possible 0 stars. When we were there a waitress didn’t charge a customer $ 1.60 extra for his salad with meal, the owner berated her in front of the whole place demanding she pay it out of her pocket, she was trying to remain professional he was yelling «pay me my money — this comes out of your pocket not mine» she got her stuff and left the store, walked away and we hoped never came back. The owner then stood at the cash register and was tallying all the tickets. His wife in a submissive manner brought everyone slices of watermelon to say sorry, without saying anything verbally. The glasses are plastic mismatched and chipped along with the other dishes nothing matches, if the food is good one can over look «dive» issues, but, NOT POOR TREATMENT, we never went back and have told everyone we know. Terrible employee treatment = poor customer service AND no repeat business. Who cares about the food when it is that uncomfortable. The truth is they have really great onion rings and burgers, so we were bummed. Poor employee treatment = No customer buisness (IMHO)
