★★★★★ 5.0 Rob Davis · Mar 2026

It's been years since I visited a drive-in. This place brings back incredible memories of a simpler time. The service was incredibly friendly, the food was made to order and was piping hot and fresh. Definitely a strange location, but relatively easy to find without getting lost (it's literally right off of the exit if you're heading south on I-5). It is a bit expensive (but all dining out is expensive now), but I felt like I got value for my money. I didn't have any ice cream, but I witnessed several people leaving with ice cream cones that looked delicious. If you are hungry and can fit this place into your driving schedule, I highly recommend you stop and support them. 100 times better, and healthier, than the chain restaurant garbage (for the same genre of food) hands down!

This ice shop is falling apart but has some amazing deals on some really good ice cream. We got a scoop of the black cherry, maple nut, pecan prealin, spumoni, cookies and cream and the triple chocolate. We also got a grilled chicken sandwich. The nutty flavors were our favorites, followed by the black cherry, we liked this because they were more unique and not as traditional tasting. The only one we didn't care for was the spumoni. The sandwich was ok but considering it was more expensive than the ice cream there is no reason to waste you money on it.

It’s hard to see this place coming from southbound on I-5. Just be ready to turn around after that loop. Can be a little confusing, but other than that, once you here, it’s a nostalgic, cool little place with plenty of outdoor seating. The parking is a little rough if there are a lot of people. Super friendly staff, We stopped here on our way to Rogue and got some shakes and ice cream. The burgers were just okay, nothing special. It is a little silly to be charged for ketchup and ranch. The shakes are thick and really good and most important fresh!, so this place is good for ice cream and an okay burgers. I almost forgot we ordered the jalapeño poppers. They were terrible and soggy, but due to the uniqueness and customer service, I won’t let that affect the review. I will say it is super

K&R Drive-In has existed since I was a kid, so at least 40 years now! We used to always stop on the way to my grandparents house. If you’re driving along I-5 and they are open, stop here! Even if it’s just to get an ice cream. It’ll make you feel old but young at heart. 💜🚙🍦

★★★★★ 5.0 Sandra Yglesias · Aug 2024

I always love stopping here when we are headed south. The milkshakes are always delicious. The onion rings are wonderful, and the portions are huge. This is just plain great down to earth drive-in food. The picnic tables were clean, but they do look out on a gravel lot with lots of freeway noises. There was always plenty of parking, and the extra lot was great for our trailers!! I definitely recommend them.
