Spartan Drive-In

I have eaten here several times and I have really enjoyed the food an their milk shakes. Everything tastes good and when you take your order to go it is still really hot when you get home.

Update: Spartan drive-​in has been upgraded to 4 stars! I went last week with my 2 kids and we were very impressed since our last visit when they first opened in 2013. The crispy chicken sandwich was very good, the burger was probably the best u can get in Stanwood (not best ever but best for Stanwood), and my kids loved their milkshakes. The lady that took and delivered our order was super nice and the service was good. I’m happy to upgrade their rating bc I’d rather write positive reviews than negative ones. The best part was that since the weather was amazing that day, we got to enjoy our lunch on their awesome patio. Way to make things better Spartan Drive-​in!

Our favorite burgers in town. Food is fresh and you my, portions are generous! We enjoy the connivence of the drive through or dine in.

Most everything here is fresh and delicious.
Also, you can get your burgers lettuce wrapped and skip the bun with all the carbs and gluten. Worth the money, I’ll go here before I ever go to a fast food chain. Good food takes time, so don’t be in a hurry when you want something from them. If you know the menu call ahead and you can just pick it up. The dining room is on the small side.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in town. If I could eat here weekly I would be so happy, the food is amazing. The service is always wonderful and they are always so nice. It’s worth the wait for your food. Don’t go thinking it’s fast food it’s far from it. The milk shakes are soooo good.

Amazing shakes I had the fresh raspberry worth the 3.99 price. Burger was awesome as well next time I will do single patty burger since the patty’s are so big. Can’t wait t come back.soon. Onion rings a nice side choice, fries were good.

My family ate here recently for the first time and we really enjoyed the food and thought it was a fair price.
The food was fresh and handmade. The prices compare to McDonalds but there is no way you can compare the quality of the food! Good deal.
We will definitely be back! There are so many flavors of milkshakes we want to try and we want to try the deep fried mushrooms and other burgers too. I got a lemonade with my food and I wouldn’t get it again. It was pretty watery and didn’t taste much like lemon…
Glad we found an affordable restaurant that has good American food close by. Really hate eating fast food and tired of all the pizza places in Stanwood!
The only thing I can say that can be improved upon is that there was only one young gal working both the drive-​through and everyone walking inside to eat. It got pretty busy inside with all of the seats taken and a car or two in the drive-​through. She did a really good job managing it all but I felt bad for her because she was all over the place. Service would have been a lot quicker and more efficient if there was one other person maybe running food while the other takes the orders.

Awesome place! My burger is always perfect! Love the fish and chips. Great having a local burger! Keep it up!

We visit this place a few times a month. In the beginning the food was inconsistent but they seem to have pretty consistent decent burgers.

My husband and I like this place lots. The food is good and the people are so friendly. We come in here quite a bit and they remember who you are.

Love this place! Great, friendly service! Nice to be able to order a yummy burger, fries and milk shake at a drive thru while my child sleeps in her car seat. My daughter also loves there fries, no seasoning just good plain fries. I always get a cheeseburger and it’s has burger sauce and real beef not crapy fast food meat. It’s also great to support a local business!

Price is normal for a burger with real meat, and it’s not a skinny little piece of meet like a fast food chain would be, there is real substance to these burgers.
Taste is very good.
If you want a special burger like… Add this or subtract that, be prepared to have it made wrong most of the time.
I’ve found, if you want it special made, just ask to tell the cook, and it will be made correctly.
Burgers can get a bit too greasy at times.
That being said, this is one of the few places I will even buy a burger at. So it has to rate high on that alone.

I was skeptical from the past reviews but my co-​workers and I decided to try it anyway. You will NOT regret it! The service is great, food is fabulous, NOT to mention the price. The Deluxe Burger was fresh, juicy and delicious. We will come back!

First impression, empty parking lot. Not a good sign. Second impression, rap music.
Soggy French fries, greasy food, good shake. I don’t recommend this place and we are not going back. Too bad we really want the local businesses to survive. But it seems like they cater to the high school students, who were not there.

Food was fantastic. Loved the jalapeño burger and the fish and chips.
But…Music was too loud for conversation, the girl with a big hickey on her neck was a nice touch. Another girl forgot my shakes, then put chocolate topping on raspberry shake and raspberry topping on chocolate shake. Too busy concerning what the girls were doing Saturday night after work to pay attention to our order. For the trade of my money for a good meal, at least they could have been paying attention to detail.
Overall, the setup is great, but ya know how it goes with kids not having adult supervision…

Not sure what’s up with the negative reviews, everything we’ve had here has been good. Comparing them to McDonalds is silly — you can tell it’s all hand made and made to order. I think they had a bit of a rough start but they’re starting to find their footing now and we’ll definitely keep going back.

We had a craving for a good mom and pop burger place with crinkle cut fries but we were so disappointed. After a 20 minute wait we finally received our food. The meat looked and tasted worse than McDonalds and the bread looked smooshed. The milk shakes were delicious. Fries were basic and boring. A bit overpriced for what McDonalds and Burger King serves.

Good hearty burger. Excellent fried mushrooms! Fresh and yummy. Love the detail of having a little wafer on my shake. Nice drive thru window. Not bad for Stanwood! We will be back!

As you know I am just a bit picky… I was just starving and it was 1 in the afternoon. So there it is I am in a hurry and it’s my first opportunity to grab a bite at this joint. I am so disappointed that again the benchmark for food in this city so sucks. never mind the little twinkly chickie at the counter can not Handle one drive thru and a person at the counter (me) and the dog and his master waiting for a burger… gee simple, right? Oh no do not pet the dog and then take my debit card! Hell no you did not… yep twinkles took my card gave it back to me, got my water all without ever washing up after the puppy love! Oh crap… ok fish burger and onion rings with homemade tarter ordered after being informed that the shrimp was no longer on the menu. Why I am sure is because someone can’t figure out how to deep fry anything. First off when you can’t tell it’s even fish we have troubles… the grease released all over bun couldn’t even soften up the lack of freshness of said bun. I think that the fish and rings went into the same deep fryer as they both tasted of gross grease and no onion taste? Really. The smoking employee couldn’t bother to wash her hands before she delivered the platter of grease. I waited and took a few days off to cool down befor I made this review. I was told have a good day and was never asked how it was! Well it was plain ass horrible. Don’t bother stopping. the parking lot is dead because anyone who wants to taste and identify their food has chosen to go elsewhere. Well we can only hope the burgers are better. The place has bad karma or something cuz each and every attempt to house a restaurant has failed at that location. I give it 2 thumbs down and a year or less before the place is locked up witha for lease sign on it again! Just because your family says you can cook doesn’t really mean you can cook for the public. Which you can’t even manage a fried fish, bun, tarter and onion rings…4 items screwed up out of four? Really?

Family of four enjoyed beef burgers, fish burger, fries and fruity shakes. Hot, fresh and tasty! Definitely will return!
