This is a nice step back in time fast food restaraunt. Nothing extremely special about it but if you remember artic circle being everywhere at one time then go here. Food is typical fast food and nothing really out of the ordinary. Not bad though.

This review Is solely based on the fry sauce that’s y it gets 5 stars. I love arctic circle. I ate there as a child. Then they became very few and far between. I’ve driven to portland, newport, and Wyoming to eat at arctic circle. I’m trying to eat all of the ones left. The burgers are okay the fry sauce is the best ever. I love this place so much just Cuz it brings back so many wonderful childhood memories.

Great hometown fast food burger joint. Forgo the king or billion served places down the street. The hubby and I each had ¼ lb cheese burgers, sampled french fries and onion rings, and a pineapple malt. The meat patties rival the other fast food places, but the toppings were fresh, the pickles phenomenal, and the condiments resulted in a juicy explosion between the super soft and yummy potato bun. French fries are potato-ey«natural» style and the onion rings(off the chism!). And the fry sauce?! Yummers! Pineapple malt was good, though something about the consistency was different and I couldn’t quite place it… kind of like it was blended with whipping cream to «fluff» it up?! Maybe I was just full from gorging myself on the meal. We will sample the shake flavors in the future. It is the only place we will go when in the mood for a burger.

They may have good food but I will never find out as this establishment has no idea how to run a successful restaurant. Instead of asking the front car in the drive thru to move to a parking spot as their order took over 12 minutes(verified by the manager) to make, leaving a trail of cars behind them stranded and waiting for now– cold food. The manager, a person with no business acumen whatsoever proceeded to tell me it wasn’t how things are done so I should leave, and I did, as probably the trail of angry carloads behind me, though not without her threatening me with the police. Seriously? Civilization doesn’t work your ineffectual way, ma’am.

This is the best soft serve ice cream we’ve ever had! We would recommend it over anything else. It is very creamy opposed to some that are quite granular. You get the biggest bang for your buck at this location!

Frozen halibut, overcooked. Tartar was bland and tasted like plain mayo. They didn’t hear me order two of them, so we had to wait for the second meal. Friendly enough, but for the price I expected higher quality. The shake was good.

We never come to Newport without stopping here for lunch. The burgers are good but the fries are amazing. They have the best fry sauce but you don’t want to use it cause the fries are so good. Shakes are good and the service is top notch. Always full but worth any wait.

Man I love stumbling upon solid regional fast food. We pulled in here after a morning of charter-fishing with no preconceived notion of what it was about. I’m not sure why others think the burgers aren’t good. The four of us thought they were fantastic(in fast-food kind-of-way). Fries were delicious too. I’d give it a full 5-stars, but then that wouldn’t be very fair to In-N-Out or Steak ‘n’ Shake.

The food is gross(fries are ok), and disgusting but the lime Rickey’s are amazing! Thirst quenching :) I love visiting Newport because I know I’ll be stopping buy for some frys for the special sauce and a drink!

The burgers are always lukewarm and mediocre at best.

I stopped in and told the friendly girl at the counter that I had played on an Arctic Circle Drive-In sponsored Little League team. About 45 years ago.(True story, too). I didn’t get a free order of fries, but I was willing to pay for them any way. AC fries and fry sauce. Worth driving over the Rocky Mountains to find. The hamburgers have always been fresh on my visits here to Newport. The bread is fresh, the meat is freshly cooked. Good stuff.

Terrific halibut! Great service! I had to ask the cashier if the halibut contained MSG. I was met with friendly help. Such a surprise! By the way. There was NOMSG in the halibut. Will definitely be back!

Food was average, very similar to a Dairy Queen. Kids were starving and we stopped here for lunch. Fry sauce was good, had never tasted that. The dining room needed a little attention, but I guess they hadn’t had a chance to clean up, when we left a young man was getting it cleaned up. After we ate we tried the shakes/malts and they were ok, not the best. Would eat here again if I were in the area again.

The employees have a bad attitude coupled with terrible service. The food isn’t really that good. It’s kind of a novelty to get AC when in Lincoln City because they are all but extinct everywhere else. I no longer have that itch, thank goodness.

I had it for the first time last week and i was very impressed. I like it very much and their food is addictingly good. Too bad they closed down in Hillsboro

I’m never quite sure what to think when I get bad food at a place that consistently gets 4 and 5 stars on Unilocal.Was today just an off day for them? Did going between lunch and dinner-time catch them between shifts? Is it because this is not summer tourism season? I don’t know what the problem was, but I was really primed for a good burger — and the double cheeseburger I got was nothing but awful. The cheese was dried out at the corners. The meat tasted old. The shreds of lettuce tasted of chemical preservatives. 1 pickle? Really? And too much mayo/ketchup. The bun was really fresh. That’s about the only positive thing I can find to say — except that my dog got most of the burger after I scraped all the mayo-soaked lettuce into the trash. I should probably give them another try to see if it was just a fluke — but it’s really pricey for dog food, and he likes Purina better.

Their shakes are better than a Blizzard.

My wife and I come here every time we’re in Newport and I eat WAAAAY too much when I’m there. No joke. Was there yesterday, if fact, and ordered a #10 large and the Pastrami burger meal medium sized. I also ordered an order of onion rings and a foot long hot dog. Soooo… My food was perfect. I can’t improve on that. I like that they make a sauce out of mayo, mustard, and relish and put it on the hot dogs(which are split in half and grilled). My wife thought they put too much pastrami on the pastrami burger, but that’s about it. Love this place.

This looks like one of those places that could easily be pretty bad. I stopped by one evening when I was in town to do some fieldwork and up late in Newport. I discussed GF options with the speaker voice and they said the shakes and ice cream were GF so long as they didn’t put the usual vanilla wafer on top. They did anyway, but realized their mistake and remade the entire shake without my asking. Everyone working here was extremely nice and helpful. I had a chocolate shake with real huckleberries in it and it far surpassed nearly any frozen dessert beverage I’ve had elsewhere. Arctic Circle is worth a stop even if you’re just passing through.

It has been a long time since I have even seen an Arctic Circle, and I have missed them. This location has stuff not found on most burger joint menus(grilled lemon pepper chicken breast sandwich) and they have onion rings too. Yay! A note about these onion rings. We stopped to do some kite flying and beach combing. I hadn’t gotten very far into my food so figured I would just warm up my onion rings when we got back. When we returned, I was so hungry that I didn’t care that my rings had gone cold. I ate them anyway… and they still tasted good! Service was really friendly, and prices actually seemed pretty fair. Even though the location was old, it looked well kept and well run
