The Timeless Washington Restaurant Everyone Needs To Visit At Least Once
If you hail from Central Washington or you played on sports teams as a child, you’ve almost certainly heard of Miner’s Drive-In in Yakima. Known for their oversized burgers, big, thick shakes and fast-casual setting, they’ve been a staple in Union Gap for decades. And while opinions on the food Miner’s serves varies, the majority of people who try it tend to love it.

The founder, Ed Miner, wanted the burgers to be "a meal on a bun." That explains the large portions.

There’s ample space in the parking lot for busses, so the hungry youth can almost always count on a Miner’s stop.


You probably won’t be able to finish your meal if you get onion rings or fries, but we recommend getting them anyway. They’re worth it.

There’s even a sign in the lobby reminding patrons of that in case they get impatient while they wait.

There’s always room for a delicious Miner’s milkshake.


It remains a timeless treasure in the Yakima Valley.
