how old do you have to be to work at Pilchuck Drive in ?

I do believe you have to be 16 maybe 15 there really friendly just give them a call and ask them.

Why don't you open on time......

I think they've had some trouble with Reliable Staffing unfortunately

What's great here?

The super mega ultimate bacon cheeseburger *not it's real name* and a chocolate peanut butter malt... Mmmm.

When did you open

Pilchuck drive-in has been in Snohomish since the 1950's. There is alot of history at that famous burger joint

Why are you never open on time ??

This question goes to the Google community, not the business owners. I have no idea, but would suggest speaking directly with the establishment. I'm never there early enough to experience this issue, personally, but that definitely is concerning to hear...

Have been going there my entire life. My dad took me there and now I take my kids there a couple times a month. Today I had the worst service I have ever experienced going there. Is there a different crew running it?

Bummer to hear about the inconsistency... My experience has still been great, even recently, but I only get to go about four times a year, so maybe I've just lucked out...

Good burger. Long wait in line and incorrect toppings on my husbands burger. Great shake though.

Came here with my family a few times over the past few years, but the food quality has apparently diminished(as well as the service), because, on this most recent visit, the fish meat was stringy and stuck in our teeth, and both my wife and I had upset stomachs for the following 8 hours. Regarding poor service, put someone behind the register who can exhibit some semblance of a smile and courteous behavior, unlike the thing that charged us for our meal. I would've gotten better treatment from any fast food joint.

This little drive in drive in is a reminder of the 40& 50. I know I'm telling you my age but it's nice to visit a time that you had a lot of fun. A time you could walk through the town without a nut shooting people because he wants to know what it feels like. People in there spoke to you . We laughed and shared a good time. No I'm not pulling your leg it really did happen just that way. Food and happy was shared by all you must try if you are in the area it is located on the east end of town enjoy.🐩

One of my favorite local burger joints. The food is good. The service can be a little slow but keep in mind they make everything fresh so that is to be expected. They have a wide variety of food items. Enjoy.

Pilchuk Drive In has been around for a long time, and truly shows as the quality of the food is certainly A+, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. The location is convenient for those traveling threw,as it's not far from easy access to highway 9 and 2. Thank you for the years of great service and see you soon!

Certainly a favorite of the area, but that speaker for ordering has been broken for years. They keep saying they've fixed it, but it's so loud, it hurts your ears! Add to that some teenagers with less than great customer service skills, and you may end up waiting 30 minutes.

We walked here from a bar to get food. Wasn't impressed.Important to know everything on menu is by itself. If you want fries, you need to ask for fries. There's no veggie or black bean burger, so I had a grilled cheese. Not bad. Food and shake were enjoyable. The young lady behind the counter couldn't be bothered to greet or help us. Didn't look up, kept gooding off with herself. The young gentleman who did step up was polite. Got our order right, checked it with us, and was quick. Food came out right. While dining, the young lady made inappropriate comments and conversation with the staff, and continued to not work. Saw every other staff member working. Bathroom is plainly disgusting. Looks like it hadn't been washed in quite a while. Men's is out of service. If I return, it will be drive through. Not worth visiting the dining area.

My friend ordered me the Jim's Special. A deluxe burger, fries and added fry dipping sauce. The burger had a small town taste as if I were at a BBQ. The ingredients were fresh and beef patty juicy. I enjoyed the fries and dipping sauce, which were a great compliment with the deluxe. Overall, I'd eat here again for the simplicity and local taste.

Would have given 5 but they forgot to put our fries in the bag, luckily we realized before we were to far away and were able to go back and get them. But either way their food is really good and I would recommend it to anyone passing by.

There was a long line inside and at the drive thru at about 1pm, on a Sunday. The food is worth the wait! The bacon burger with extra grilled onions was spot on in flavor. The pot roast burger wasn't overwhelming, and breaded mushrooms were cooked just right. The stars of the meal were the milkshakes...strawberry and blackberry were the flavors we tried. My partner never finishes his shake, and usually saves half for later, but this time consumed it all!

Nice old fashioned American Drive In that you can enjoy from your car or eating inside. Not many booths to dine inside but has a nice atmosphere with old nostalgic paraphernalia from the area. In downtown Snohomish making it a nice stop after a walk with the family.

Looking for a greasy burger? Look no further. And I mean that in the best possible way!This is a great local drive through. Good burgers, fish and chips (better than the nearby fish place), everything you could need. Also, the shakes are amazing! They are thick and delicious. If my shake makes it the 10 minute drive home I'm surprised.Customer service is good and it's nice to see a burger place with kids working the counter. Perfect after school job to learn from.

Pilchuck Drive In was an enjoyable experience. The Fish and Chips meal was recommended and I now see why. Wonderful crispy batter, and tender moist on the inside. The onion rings were good too. The battered mushrooms were fair. The shakes are really good, and the staff were polite given the heavy volume of walk in and drive up customers. I would eat there again.

A great place for goopy, greasy American fastfood. It tastes great and reminds me of the old drive ins of the old days. However a criticism. The floors and tables need regular cleaning and it was pretty gross when we sat down to eat our lunch. Other than that it was a good visit.

A Snohomish classic. It's sorta weird how good their paper-thin-patty burgers are. Good onion rings, good shakes.I feel like it has declined a little recently, but I guess it all depends on the current crop of kids working there.Know this, it's always busy.
