They have a great veggie burger here, probably the best I’ve had anywhere. I don’t know if they make it themselves but it seems like they might as it doesn’t have that packaged/frozen feel to it. Also, their milkshakes are awesome! 4 stars because I agree that they’re a little on the pricey side, but I think it’s worth it.

It’s a little pricey, but our burgers, fries and shakes have been excellent every time. The employees are friendly too. You might think because you can stay in your car that this will be as fast as a standard fast food place. You would be wrong. It definitely takes longer, but is so worth the wait. If you’re looking for cheap fast food, this is not your destination. If you want fresh, delicious food delivered to your car window while you wait, you will not be disappointed. As to the other reviewer’s comment about the portions, I would liken the serving of fries I receive to a medium or large at a fast food place. The burgers are pretty large too. I rarely finish my meal, but it’s not for lack of enjoyment.

Great burgers the old fashioned way! Newly renovated historical site, drive-up service, outdoor seating, & wonderful shakes/malts!

Delicious burger, but about a dollar more than it’s worth. I ordered fries, figured for the price I’d get a grip of gries. I was shocked. I counted 10 french fries. 10! And they weren’t even fresh, they came from Sysco frozen to fryer. Waited waaaayyyy to long for my order too. Sorry, but almost $ 20 for a burger, fries, soda and a tip is not reasonable at all. No tater tots either. Bummer dudes!

Wish I could leave a better review but… the burger was good. Darn good. But not for the price. And the service… yikes. $ 8.95 for a bacon cheeseburger(without fries). And $ 1.99 for a(not so) large pop isn’t quite right. After waiting for 30+ minutes for our food it came without the fries we ordered. I looked at my receipt and even though the kid read our order back to us and verified the fries — he didn’t put them on our order. The pick up window didn’t apologize or even looked surprised. They instead told us to go ‘just’ go around to the order window and wait in line — AGAIN. Nope, nope, nope. We just left. Hope they make the necessary adjustments to be successful. :)

Burger patties were too small for the buns. We tried cutting the burgers in half to spilt and one half had just a sliver of patty on it for half the bun and each person ended up just eating buns at the end. The fries and ice cream were good, but for the amount of money that we paid for burgers I expect that there should be enough meat to fill the bun.

«stop, pay a small fortune, wait a while, go… But don’t try to eat it on the go. Extra greasy & juicy burgers with no wrap on them make it impossible to avoid spilling all over yourself! The food was good and fresh. Nothing to write home about.

We were looking forward to Gene’s reopening, but were REALLY disappointed in the service and prices. The place wasn’t all that busy but it still took 40 minutes to get 2 burgers and fries. We had also ordered a milkshake, but left without it 20 minutes after getting the burgers. Also, no ketchup, no fry sauce and no napkins handed out. Too bad because business success will be challenging to achieve with that level of poor service.

All I can say is food was good BUT!!! I ordered 3 Bacon cheeseburger meals with 3 Frys and 3 regular shakes and it was $ 45.00 yeh sorry but not worth it… And the 30 minute wait time added to the disappointment… :-(

This Montesano icon has reopened! The whole town has been watching and waiting as Gene’s got a full makeover, both inside and out. However, the final product retains the charm of this long time favorite… We stopped in today just for a soft serve cones and weren’t disappointed. Can’t wait to come back for burgers and fries.

Really decent burger stand fare. Some shake flavors are really outstanding(I.e. strawberry) and some are rather blah(i.e. choc) good burgers, fries, fry sauce. Also serve alot of other odds and ends like chick strips, club sandwich, grilled cheese, fried clams, etc. just a walk up window and a few picnic tables, but hits the spot.

Went camping at Lake Slyvia State Park last summer and wanted Ice cream, we found Gene’s and fell in love. My kids compare all Ice cream experiences to that at Genes. We got great service and huge ice cream cones. We are headed to Long Beach WA this weekend and am stopping at Genes on our way down. We didn’t taste the food so I cannot comment on that.
