WE ARE GOOD FOOD,
NOT FAST FOOD
Big Jim’s Drive-In
Serving the Gorge Since 1966 — Now in Hood River
Big Jim’s Drive-In is where burgers meet tradition. Since 1966, our original location in The Dalles has been serving up juicy burgers, crispy fries, thick milkshakes, and old-school charm. And now, you can get that same “hamburgers made with love” experience at our new Hood River location.
Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite after a Gorge hike, fueling up on a road trip, or bringing the family in for dinner—Big Jim’s is your go-to for real food, fast.
