Alpine Drive Inn — Restaurant in Contiguous United States

We pulled into the drive through excited for the prospect of milkshakes and fries. Every time we visit my grandparents up in Goldbar. However when we pulled into the drive in we waited a few moments for someone to greet us. Which is fine. We could see the people sitting out front waiting for their orders as well. An older women came over and said it will be 30-45 minutes. Then she went back to cooking. So as a family we deliberated whether or not to stay and wait. A few minutes passed and the older women came back saying, "no seriously it will be 30-45 minutes." My mother replied saying we were just talking amongst ourselves on whether or not to wait." Which the older women replied, "No, it will take about that long for me to take your order." That is the most outrageous business practice I've ever heard of. I work in a restaurant and I know for a fact when we are over whelmed and under staffed we can't tell our guests we can't take their order for 30-45 minutes, with the assumption that it would take about a half an hour to get our order. We love coming here for our milkshakes and fries but getting a giant f-you kind of sucked. Hopefully next time...

My fiance was telling her boys and I how good Alpine is an about the milkshakes. So on our way back from the Inter Mountain fair we stopped by for a few milkshakes. A vanilla caramel, pumpkin, an regular vanilla. I tasted the vanilla one an it was very enjoyable, smooth an a wonderful taste. By the way we didn't hear very much from the back seat I'm guessing that they must of been pretty good. It was nice that someone come to our window since it was taking a little longer for the persons order that was ahead of us. I did think it took a little bit longer than it should of for 3 milkshakes, but it wasn't a big deal since the shakes...

A local land mark, the pink Alpine Drive Inn. Great burgers, I got a double bacon cheese burger and it was very filling. The onion rings taste phenomenal! It was a great place to sit down with the family and enjoy a nice lunch after a hike to the falls. To finish off my stop I ordered a M&M avalanche. The first few bites were great but soon it seemed like I was just eating M&Ms, too many for my liking. If they did a third of the M&Ms it would have been perfect and this would have been a 5 star review. I’ll update this review if they end up taking my advice, But GREAT PLACE!...
