There’s nothing quite like finding a little gem, and old-fashioned burger drive-ins make us particularly happy. A classic meal with a burger, fries, and a shake is always tasty, and when you can get it at a burger joint that’s been in business for more than sixty years, it’s even better. Check out this adorable spot in Pendleton.

Hal’s Hamburgers opened up in 1952, and it’s been serving up classic burgers, fries, onion rings and shakes ever since. You’ll find it at 2001 SE Court Ave., Pendleton, OR 97801.

Busy day at work? No worries - just go through the drive-through in whatever vehicle you happen to be driving.

The menu here is pretty basic, but it’s full of tasty burgers, sandwiches, hot dogs, and dinner baskets.

You can even get a veggie burger or turkey burger. You’ll definitely want a side order of crispy fries or onion rings (or get one of each!).

Hal’s shakes are legendary. They come in 30 flavors, and they’re so thick that they’re served with a special straw.

The twist cones are another local favorite, and they’re piled high, so you won’t want to waste any time digging in.
