D.K.'s Drive In

I try most “drive in” burger joints as I travel and this one is definitely not worth stopping again. I am fully aware of prices going way up over the recent years but if you spend $12 for a cheese burger (fries and sauces sold separately) you would be right to expect a decent burger. But what you get is a normal frozen and smashed paper thin patty on an untoasted cheap tasting bun with uninspired veggies served at room temp. I am not exaggerating when I say the quarter pounder from McDonalds has more “heft” and flavor the D.K.’s Drive In burger. The fries (extra $5) are just frozen battered fries that you can find at Walmart. The tartar sauce was the only decent thing served but of course that costs extra. Coincidentally, a co worker who took the same route to the job as I did also stopped

My husband and I just had the pleasure of eating here at the D.K. drive in tonight. Their establishment is so well kept.It was so clean inside and out.. their customer service was great. Their prices are super reasonable and the amount of food you get with your order is well worth what they're charging. My husband had the pumpkin spice shake. And I got one scoop of their salted caramel and one scoop of their bubblegum, and it's the blue kind of bubblegum ice cream with the little chunks of bubblegum in it so good. And we got a basket of their fries, which were super crispy.And so good, their ranch is homemade and is so good.

Well....super bummed. Im from Spokane, working here for the next month and a half. Was told "you have to try DKs". So I did. The hot dog was not good, 1 bite and it went in the trash where is belongs. The French Dip was a hot dog bun, 3 slices of lunch meat and no cheese. The Auju sauce was the best part. Also got fries, cool temp at best and no sauces in the bag. Now the service....literally watched my crew and I food sit under the lamp as the cook repeatedly called order up, but she was busy somewhere else. Staffed up with 2 cooks and 2 counter gals, but we spent about $100 bucks, food went in the trash, and exploring other options for the rest of out time here in Ephrata. DO NOT WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY AT DK's!

The Cherry Shake was the best part. They have a fresh raspberry Shake that was unfortunately sold out. I'll have to come back to try that. The fries where good well the burger was okay. Overall with the great customer service it was a nice experience.

Advertised hours say open till 9 PM. Came to this location one day at 8:02 pm. All the lights were on in the business and it appeared to be open. Stopped at the drive-through for 2 to 3 minutes with no answer, called on the line, no answer, and then proceeded to the window and a gentleman open the window. It was the owner and I told him that advertisement on Google stated that this location was open till 9 PM.Fast-forward two weeks later and forgotten about the time difference and assumed it would’ve been changed, same issue. This location closes at 8 PM, but Google hours still state nine.
