Woody’s Drive-In

After checking in to our hotel down the road we were looking for a quick dinner but not at a «fast food» joint. This place seemed to be a hit with other Unilocal reviews so we tried it out, and I must agree with all the positive opinions. We ordered a couple of their crispy chicken sandwiches (Marty special and Courdon Bleu), tater tots and shakes. The sandwiches were well made, didn’t fall apart when eating, and were very tasty. I’d consider mine to be one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve ever eaten. The tots and the accompanying fry sauce were a hit and the banana shake was great as well. Only down side was the cost at $ 27.00 for the 2 sandwiches 1 large tots and 1 large shake. Other than the cost (minor issue) it is the only place I will go to for a quick bite when in Moses Lake.

Woody’s has quickly became my favorite place to eat. I’m addicted to the desserts and Shangai burger with chicken breast. Amy was really helpful and a sweetheart. I’ll definitely be back here again. It’s a wait for food but it’s worth the wait!

Moses Lake, WA: Classic, walk-​up /​drive through
We wanted quick, fast burgers with fries tonight. Woody’s popped up at the top of Unilocal’s list, located not more than 5 minutes off our freeway. Their parking lot was small. However, most customers were going through the drive-​through. A big, green lawn was located across the street, so poochies received a quick walk while I placed our order.
FOOD
Mini deluxe cheeseburger: lettuce & tomato with mayo, ketchup, and pickle with an eigth pound patty sans cheese ($ 3.50)
Junior deluxe cheeseburger: all the dressings as in above mini but with a quarter pound patty. ($ 5)
Medium «skinny» fries: Almost 2 cups of smooth cut french fries that came with a house thousand island-​like dipping sauce ($ 2.50)
They had quite an extensive selection of preset burger fixings but no substitutions are allowed. My mini had a nice, juicy patty, albeit tiny, with minimal lettuce, and a somewhat dry tasting bun. Hubby’s junior was adequate. It was his first gluten ladened burger in some time and he just inhaled it.
The fries were great, crispy on the outside, and tender in the middle, served in a white, pocket bag with the sides of the bag folded into the middle of the bag. Genious! It appeared to help keep those fries corralled and not spill when the bag.
There was an extensive array of specialty burgers, milkshakes, and fountain drinks that included both pepsi and coke. We did not partake of any of these products. I think they were a bit pricey for what you get. However, this is a small family operation, friendly, and reminds me of childhood drive ups before the major fast food chains became prominant. Give ‘em a try!

Every small town has that ‘one’ place everyone goes to for burgers/​fries and shakes — and this place feels that ‘that place’ for Moses Lake. The burger I ordered wasn’t the burger I got… But it was still pretty good — good portions. id recommend going here again

A great first visit! Loved the menu of drive-​in staples like burgers & chicken sandwiches, old fashioned shakes, sodas and lemonade. I’m not a big fan of french fries, so I was thrilled to see other side choices like tator tots, onion rings and deep-​fried mushrooms (my choice)! I wasn’t crazy about the fry sauce (too pickley) but My Dear Hubby loved it. Our food was cooked to order and was well worth the short drive off I-​90 to find the place.

Great place to eat a huge burger and milkshake like they used to be made. VERY clean inside, too.
Don’t show up without your appetite. And, don’t be a sissy about getting down and dirty with your food.

Traveling down I-​90 towards Spokane. Needed lunch and this place had great reviews. It is an old fashioned drive thru burger joint, reasonably priced and great value for your money. Had the daily special for 7.95 and splurged on a chocolate peppermint milkshake. The young lady that took my order and served me was a delight. Look forward to stopping here again on my next journey through these parts.

First off, I much prefer a local place to any of the big fast food chains that churn out factory food. And, I much prefer Woody’s to those places. — We’re talking take out burgers, fries, etc — not high level dining. So, the rating reflects that — a comparison to other take out burger joints. I’ve found the service to always be friendly & courteous. It can be a little slow at times when there are lots of cars lined up at the drive up window. — I’ve found their burgers to just be average. Kinda bland in taste. I’ll usually go with a corn dog instead. I’ve found their real selling point to be their shakes and malts. Definitely the best in the area. I’m a fan and will go there again when in Moses Lake.

Screwed up order. I called and gave them a chance to refund, their response was «well what you got was worth more than you paid.» Well, I don’t care what it costs, it’s not what I ordered. Your fries are stale btw, I only come for the onion rings. You screw up, you should pay for it.
Merry Christmas

I went here with my class of UW students. We had a very long day working out here on a project. We stopped here and I have to say the service was very good, and the food just as well. If I’m ever out here I would certainly go back.

First time at Woody’s while on road trip to Missoula. Burgers were great and also enjoyed the onion rings. All the people who work there were friendly and kind. Will make this a destination whenever future opportunities allow. Thank you!

Expensive but tasty burgers! There is a large variety of flavor combinations in both the burger/​sandwich and milkshake catagories.

Ordered the so called «jumbo» cheeseburger deluxe today with bacon and a small order of fries and a small drink. The total came out to ten dollars and some change which I was happy to pay based on Unilocal reviews. I was really disappointed by the burger. I enjoy a nice thick juicy burger but they serve a flat patty which is comparable in thickness to a patty from Wendy’s or sonic. I honestly couldn’t taste the burger. There was so much lettuce and bread to the burger that you could have removed the patty when I wasn’t looking and I probably wouldn’t have noticed. The fries were good though and I really enjoyed the shaved ice. I’ll go back to try the milkshakes but I definitely will not be ordering a burger again from this place.

Anytime I am passing through Moses Lake I stop here. I have not tried anything but the burgers and fries but they are well worth what you pay for. I have not encountered rude service here as other people appear to have in past reviews.

Woody’s has gone downhill. I went there a year ago and ordered the shrimp… Totally inedible. They were grey and freezer burnt. Recently ordered a small onion ring. 15 min wait, almost 5 dollars and they tasted like old grease.

First time trying this place. I would have given it more stars if the quality was better. Ordered the burger with avocado. I was grossed out by the quality of the avocado. There is no question the person who made my burger was aware of the poor quality. Not only was it brown but also stringy and gross. It ruined my first time experience there. Will possibly try it on another date, hopefully they won’t disappoint.

We were driving through and decided to stop for a milkshake. Saw a few low star reviews on Unilocal about customer service. Don’t let that dissuade you as everyone seemed friendly enough, and the shakes were DELICIOUS. Generous portions too. Will come back sometime to try the burgers.

If I could give no stars I would. The girls that work here are SO snobby and RUDE! They slam the window in your face, and knock on the side windrows to get your attention.
A number system or calling out a names would be better than pointing at the costumer.
The only decent thing was the food. I would never pay to be sassed at again.

Alright the milkshakes here are fantastic. The burgers were good but not great. This place is worth stopping at once but maybe not twice.
There are little things they could do that would make a big difference. Faster service, not charging for water (is that even legal?) and actually bringing out your food.
Give them a try.

We absolutely love Woody’s! We make it a point to stop there whenever we’re in the Moses Lake area, which is unfortunately only a couple times a year. The staff is super friendly and helpful, the food is fresh cooked and perfect every time. They even give our dog a small sundae with a milk bone while we wait! Do give this place a try, you won’t be disappointed!
Awesome shakes! Great burgers!
