Frosty's Saloon & Grill — Restaurant in Napavine

It's a Wednesday night and I'm driving between Seattle and Portland. I used Google maps to find a unique place to get a hamburger along the way. Frosty's popped up on the list as I stopped to use the restroom in Centralia. Looking at the photos of the food and reading the reviews it looked pretty good. It's pretty close to the freeway, not at the exit but definitely worth the few minutes of drive into the quaint town of Napavine. When I got there around 9:00 in the evening there were about 20 people in the bar. This is definitely a local spot. You order from the bar and the staff brings it to your table. I sat in a comfortable padded banquette. I ordered the western burger which was a burger with bacon, Swiss cheese, barbecue sauce, an onion ring, on a brioche bun.

It came with onion rings on the side or you could have tots or fries or a salad. The cost was only $9.75.

This hamburger was exceptional. There are quite a few varieties on the menu and I look forward to going back and trying more. This saloon and grill has a pretty broad menu including what looks to be a very good breakfast offering. And they serve food till 10:00 in the evening. Looks like there's a limited menu even after 10:00. I love to seek out local spots for a good hamburger where ever I travel. Frosty's is...

I like this place. Old and ratty. But good food at a good price. And pleasant people providing good service. Went in recently and had the Atkins Special with steak. I have ordered the same meal many times. Sometimes, it comes with a whole steak. Sometimes, it comes with a steak that has been sliced into strips. This time, it came with what can only be described as bits of charcoal. I think it was a couple of ounces of breaded and deep-fried meat. The cook and the waitress both should have been embarrassed to serve it. It was garbage. I complained, and the problem was resolved by providing a properly cooked steak. I appreciate that it was handled this way. I am upset that they argued with me and said the menu says it is breaded and fried, and the cook said that they have been there ten years and have always cooked it this way. Neither of these things is true. Blatant lies, and this irritates me. Changing my review from four stars to three. Unfortunate, because I...

The food was actually decent, and the atmosphere was good. Clientele in the bar was great, people were nice, and easy to chat with. Our server/bartender had a nice personality, and gave good service. I rated with one star because the alcoholic beverages were very short poured. One thing that could be effecting drink quality is that they serve well drinks in traditional water glasses, which unless you ordered a double shot will make the drink weak. We are from out of state, and our friends who live local had warned us that Frostys makes weak drinks, but it was the only place open, so we didn't have a choice. I mentioned to our server that we heard the drinks were weak in hopes of a decent drink, but it may have had the opposite out come! I personally can't handle a strong drink, I often end up asking for juice on the side to add to a drink. The drink i had (greyhound) was easily 90% juice! It was bad. Everything else...
