Tucked away off of the I-5 freeway, the K&R Drive Inn is a lovely little hidden gem in Oakland, Oregon. While many people drive right past it, this family-owned drive-in is well worth a stop. Few places are as quintessentially Oregonian as the K&R. See for yourself:

The K&R Drive Inn is located off I-5 exit 148. Rice Hill.
Yelp/Tom A.
Most people know it simply as "that ice cream place in Rice Hill."
This blink-and-you-miss-it drive-in is the perfect place to stop on a long road trip.

Be warned, the K&R does not have bathrooms. There are bathrooms available at the nearby gas station.
