Miner's Drive-In Restaurant: A Food Pilgrimage for Your Taste Buds

Miner’s Burger in Yakima is a true local classic that lives up to its reputation. The burgers are huge, juicy, and packed with flavor, clearly made with quality ingredients and no shortcuts. Every bite feels satisfying, especially if you enjoy old-school drive-in style burgers done right. The fries are crisp and plentiful, and the milkshakes are thick, creamy, and perfect for rounding out the meal. Despite how busy it can get, the service is efficient and well-organized, moving the line faster than expected. The atmosphere has a nostalgic charm that adds to the experience and makes it feel like a staple of the community rather than just another burger spot. If you’re in Yakima and craving a hearty, no-frills burger with generous portions, Miner’s is absolutely worth the stop and easy to recommend.

Was told this was a staple of Yakima and that I had to try it. I was not disappointed at all the food was amazing the portion sizes were huge for the price. I got a double-miner burger, tots, and shake. The food was hot and well cooked. I will be back for more for sure while I stay here.

The restaurant was bigger than expected. Great atmosphere! Portions are big. We got the big miner burger, the SW taco ranch burger, curly fries, and a choc and PB shake. Food was top notch! We'll be back.

The smells were amazing! Burgers should come with a warning label. Be hungry! These homemade patties are huge! Perfectly seasoned and even taste good the next day!

Showed up late to our hotel and found these guys on Google right by us. Stopped in around 1030 and ordered 3 miner burgers, large fries, and large onion rings. They were busy, but they were turning out orders quickly. We sat and waited about 20 minutes for our food to come out. They building is large, and the outside area is nice. The burgers we got were ridiculous. The whole tomato thing is overkill lol. But these were great basic burgers. All the ingredients play well as they should in a classic butger. What a whopper wishes it could be. They were massive. The fries were OK, and the onion rings were very good. Fry sauce and ranch were goodish. The BBQ ranch was not for us. The prices were all over the place. 9.99 for a plate size burger, but 4 plus for a soda and over 5 for a side of gravy is just weird to me. But whatever, not what I went for. I enjoyed our visit to Miners, and would go again for sure.

The burgers are huge! You definitely get your moneys worth. The service was friendly and fast. They have a large menu so lots of different items to choose from. The outdoor seating is perfect for the summer days. Great place for families.

Got a Big Miner burger and an order of fries came to a little bit over $16. The portion sizes are definitely huge. The burger was decent could have used some seasoning on the meat. The fries were good but way too many for an individual in my opinion. You order your food at the counter go sit at a table with a number and they bring it to you so no real table service. Guess that's why they call it a drive-in diner even though it's a sit-down restaurant. Was my first time in not sure if I'll be back wasn't that memorable. In my photo that is a normal sized lunch tray the burger is probably 6 in across. Not saying you don't get enough food for your money so if that's what you're looking for this might be your kind of place.

This place hasn't changed in 25 years. And that's a good thing. Always amazing burgers and a diner atmosphere that takes you back in time. The milkshakes are amazing, it's not a regular menu item but they make an amazing chocolate peanut butter shake. The park benches outside are great in the summer.
