XXX Rootbeer
Issaquah, WA
Only go if you love to have fun!
XXX Root Beer Drive In is THE place to be if you have kids, teenagers, or you’re just a kid at heart. The massive burgers and giant shakes on the menu are part of the reason folks go, but the great jukebox music, burstin’-at-the-seams-with-auto-nostalgia interior, and extensive outdoor seating are what really draw the crowds. Oh and don’t forget the root beer – it really is the best. Their burgers are a bit more about quantity than quality, so if you’re a real gourmet beef burger connoisseur you might be a little dissapointed. This is based on what friends I’ve had lunch with at XXX have told me – I don’t eat red meat, so I usually order the Elvis, described below, and a root beer, which are both consistently good. This place is a good time year ‘round, but the summer is the most fun, sitting outside in the sun at a table under the big XXX sign with a yummie shake, and green mountains all around. Feels like summer vacation all over again!!
(Also – check out their website for the weekend car shows XXX hosts – they happen almost every weekend of the summer.)
Dishes Tried:
Elvis Blue Hawaii Burger
The Elvis Blue Hawaii Burger is serious comfort food – an oversized delish chicken breast/pineapple/lettuce/tomato/cheese/teriyaki sauce/mayo/XXX dressing combo burger. Comes with ham too, but I don’t eat red meat so I skip it. The “piston fries” (onion rings) it comes with go down fast too. Mmmmm…
