Ranch Drive-In

The food is pretty good, at least the burgers and shakes, I haven't tried any of the other menu items. The service is fairly good as well. However, the prices are a little on the high side. Honestly, the biggest factor to me is that there is a bit of a fly problem. I've been here a few times and each time there were multiple flies buzzing around the place. I mean I get sometimes you might get a fly in a restaurant but this feels like more than a stray one getting inside. Is it that hard to put out traps or something?

Rode a bike from Redmond up to Bothell downtown and came here for a lunch stop.I actually live nearby, but have never come here so it was nice to finally try. Ordering is real simple and you can sit at a table while you wait. They have an intercom to call out order numbers in case they don't see you out front. Got a 1/4 ranch burger and fries for a meal.I think the ranch burger was pretty solid and maybe just a little minuscule tad pricy? I don't mind the price I paid for it, but I could probably eat 2-3 of these before I was really full. The seasoning on the burger was yummy so I'd definitely get it again.The fries were all right. They weren't super delicious, but they weren't horrible either. Really middle of the road in terms of taste. I had a taste of my friend's onion rings and I'd probably get those next time.

This is a great, quick meal alternative to your typical fast food restaurant. My husband and I recently moved to the area and finally gave this place a try!We called and placed our order in advance, I was pleasantly surprised when they said it would be ready in 5-10 mins.They have an out door window where you can order or pick up/pay for your food if you ordered in advance. The food was ready when we arrived and I think the price was fair. The food was really good. We got a BLT and a double ranch burger. We also got fries and onion rings. We'll definitely be back.

Pretty good. Lots of customers and fairly quick service. The double ranch burger with cheese was better than my single bacon ranch cheeseburger. The meat to bun ratio is better on the double than the single. The bacon ranch burger had a lot of extra crispy bacon. I wasn't a fan. When they toast the buns it dried out the bun so I didn't like that. Our crinkle cut fries were cooked extra crispy. Not sure if it's like this all the time or if on this day someone decided to make the bacon and fries extra crispy.

Updating my review from 5 years ago... and there's nothing I would really change. The food is the same; prices have gone way up, but what hasn't? They even use the same non-Heinz ketchup (Sysco?) Crinkle cut fries are my Kryptonite and Ranch always make them perfect & crispy. I dearly love this place because it hasn't changed and isn't trying to be something it's not (looking at you Stack 51 across the street ). It's also a rite of passage for many Bothell teenagers to work here! What a great first job!Food: 2.5 starsOverall: 4 stars

Easy parking, fOriendly, staff, dog-friendly outdoor patio, indoor inclement weather burgers & shakes. Been here a long while in downtown Bothell. What's not to love

I live not too far from this establishment food is good but salt shaker cap was loose so very salty fries but milkshake was good and so was burger staff was cool and nice it's a cool little building definitely a vibe eat here or else‍

A nice little place in Bothell situated in a beautiful (but busy) area. The cashier was friendly and patient. The inside is the same as thousands of other drive-in style places strewn across the vast spaces of America. Now I got a Ranch Burger (added cheese) and a Crispy Chicken Sandwich. Am I impressed? I guess not really, but don't get me wrong, it was good. The Ranch Burger was decent, but I wasn't into the bun. I'm not sure what it was; maybe it wasn't toasted or it was just airy. The chicken sandwich was the highlight, that being said, it's a McChicken. It's a bigger version with a tomato. I loved it. I'll come back here if I'm in the area again sometime.

My friend treated us to a Ranch Drive-In to-go dinner on a rainy Bothel night. Ranch Drive-In is located in the heart of downtown Bothel. The vibe felt of a local, mom-and-pop, small business restaurant. There are bunch of benches outside for outdoor seating, as well an ample indoor seating should you choose to shelter your meal form a cold, rainy Pacific Northwest night. The menu is simple and straightforward: we order a bunch of hamburgers adorned with a bunch of french fries and onion rings. Our order was ready for pick up just a few moments later.I had their Ranch Burger with some fries. The burger tasted that of an honest to goodness home made variety: no frills but of good ingredients. I do commend their fries which were of the crinkle type: it was very crunchy on the outside and moist and fluffy in the inside. The onion rings though were passable, mediocre. Overall we had our fill and was satisfied with the hamburgers form Ranch Drive-In.

We've been customers since 1987. Two weeks ago we had out-of-town guests and placed a phone order for $88 worth of Ranch Drive In food. I arrived at Ranch at 5:40pm and went up to the outside window and paid for my order with a VISA card. I also threw in a $10 cash tip, which we usually do. The young woman who took my payment said it would be a while as I had such a large order and it was quite busy. I then sat down at an outside table to wait for my order. At 6:20pm the same young woman who took my payment opened the window and asked me if I was waiting for an order, since I had been there for so long (kudos to her for even noticing how long I had been there). I told her that I had a phone-in order and that I had been waiting for it for 40 minutes. She looked at the order rack in the kitchen and pulled down three bags of food that had been under the lamps for 30+ minutes. She said "Sorry, no one must have called out your order. Don't worry, the food will still be hot." When I got home (5-minutes away) all of the food was cold, plus they messed up our order significantly. I mailed a letter to the owner a couple days later, and crickets. Nothing. Not a call or an email apologizing for the horrible service. Sad, but this was my last visit to the Ranch. A sidenote: why do they charge you $0.60 for a slice of American cheese, but if you ask for no bun (celiac-no gluten), there is no credit.
