Tucked along Forest Grove’s main drag, Scottie’s Drive-In slings retro charm and crave-worthy classics faster than a jukebox flips 45s.
Since 1956, this family-owned spot has been flipping burgers, whipping milkshakes, and serving nostalgia on wax paper-lined trays.
Neon lights hum above picnic tables where three generations of locals—and savvy road-trippers—sink teeth into unfussy perfection.
Food Highlights
- Super Cheeseburger: A triple-decker marvel oozing melty cheese, dubbed “better than Helvetia Tavern” by regulars. Pro tip: Add bacon for maximum indulgence.
- Oreo Milkshake: Thick enough to stand a spoon in, blending creamy soft serve with crushed cookies—a “best thing I’ve ever tasted” fan favorite.
- Crispy Onion Rings: Golden hoops served with fry sauce for dipping, rivaled only by nearby Helvetia’s.
- Fish ’n’ Chips: Beer-battered cod portions so large they’d make a sailor blush.
- Patty Melt: Buttery grilled rye hugging a juicy patty, smothered in caramelized onions.
- Blackberry Shake: Seasonal fruity twist on the classic shake, bursting with Pacific Northwest flavor.
Atmosphere
Step into a 1950s time capsule: vintage signage, walk-up windows, and the sizzle of burgers on the grill.
Dine curb-side like a 90s kid or grab a picnic table under strings of bulb lights. Teen staffers keep the energy high, though expect quirks—this is charm, not ChatGPT.
Why It’s One of the Best in Oregon:
Scottie’s nails the drive-in trifecta: quality ingredients, generational vibes, and milkshakes that double as happiness serum.
It’s where first dates, family dinners, and post-game cravings collide under neon glow.
