Even better than In-n-Out burgers. I drive up the 100 miles from Portland to get one of these whenever I can!

Best burgers EVER!! Been going here since I was in high school. Have had my husband hooked on them for over 30 years and now our Son takes himself there now that he is home from Ft Bragg NC! Live North of Seattle now but ALWAYS stop in on our way through or make it a destination ride on our Harleys!!

We were there on a Saturday evening around 6pm. The area behind the counter as well as the dining room looked as if it had not been cleaned all day long. I have never seen so many fries and garbage on the floor before. There was blobs of ketchup o ...

The 1950s atmosphere is the key here. This is a tiny drive up stand. The parking lot has covered picnic tables and often extensive holiday displays for the kids. I haven't been here long but wouldn't be surprised if the experience has been unchanged ...

Must be a lot better down in Oregon, because this one is the worst. I can't imagine how they expanded with the quality of food this one serves.

They've got a playplace, I think that about covers it.

BURGERS ARE AWESOME. I can remember eating here in the 70s as a kid and the food is the same! I miss this place and stop everytime I am in Centralia. Living in Boise now and cannot find anything that compares!

Got stuck in Centralia during the flood. This was the only place open. I have lived in the area for over 40 years and never stopped here, but have heard about it. The burgers were excellent. A young man and his parents were running the place as I overheard something about not having any help able to get through with the flood. Took a while, but expected since it was so busy. Will be back! Thanks for staying open!

a diner from Modesto, CA
Visited this restaurant after finding it under "good burgers" in my GPS. Stopped and found a rare, old-fashioned burger joint. Probably the best burger I have had in years. The combos are cheap for what you get. Who wouldn't pay the same for a fresh cooked burger combo over that fast food junk. It was hoppin when we got there, so we knew it would be good. Food took about 20 minutes thru the drive-thru, but well worth the wait.

I HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED THIS RESTAURANT FOR 25 YEARS NOW. THE MAIN COOK HAS BEEN WORKING THERE AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER AND MAY EVEN OWN THE PLACE. I HAVE ALWAYS NOTICED THAT THE HEALTH INSPECTION SCORES ARE 100% IN THE LOCAL PAPER. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ESPECIALLY FOR THE PATTY MELT!!!!

Typical overpriced burgers and fries. Longest wait I've ever had in a drive-through window. ALWAYS check your to-go order. At my last visit they burned my burger, forgot to make it plain and gave me fries instead of tots. Employees are pretty but vacant teeny-boppers. Avoid the espresso at all costs unless you enjoy the aftertaste of bitter coffee! My advice:if you want to pay too much for a good burger hit the Olympic Club across town!

Best burger ever! i make up reasons to venture north to eat at this place. Convenient access from I-5 at exit 82. Shakes are awesome as well as the homemade sandwiches. Small and can have some long waits (up to 20 minutes at the drive-thru). BUT...it's worth waiting for.

Best burger I have ever eaten. I drive 20 miles at least twice a week to have a burger. Breakfast is good too. Once you try it you will understand what I mean.

a diner from Hillsboro, OR
One of a kind old-fashioned burger bar. Hard to find places like this where food is fresh and cooked to order. More spendy than typical fast-food, but well worth it for the great taste and freshness. If you want cardboard go to McDonald's. For great food and a one-of-a-kind experience, go to Bill and Bea's. The dayshift service is awesome and breakfast is great as well. Try a burger, you won't regret it. I stop in whenever I can! Yumyum!

Very small, limited inside seating. More of a drive in style -take it home kind of restaurant. Great grilled cheese and tomato sandwiches, and the fries aren't bad either. Although, over priced for just about everything on the menu, they don't really make it up in friendliness or service.
