Peters Drive-In is pure and simple beauty, it s completely unrefined and honest goodness, it s awesome!

I love this place, its values and the delicious treats they offer. Where many businesses are constantly changing and evolving to keep up to date with emerging trends Peters follows a different path, they do the same thing and choose not to change. Since opening in 1964 they ve maintained the same standard of delivering persistent and consistent quality, using the best ingredients, providing great customer service and running a clean/sanitary operation. It may seem old fashioned but it works, Peters sets its own precedent of if it ain t broke, don t fix it . People come to Peters for fresh home-style burgers, old-fashioned 100% beef hot dogs, natural fries and onion rings cooked in clean 100% pure canola oil and last but certainly not least, their milkshakes and ice cream made with real ice cream and fruit! MMMM Delicious! My most recent visit was an Oreo/Chocolate milkshake, just one of over 4,500 flavor combinations you can make here!

This is what you can expect from Peters , no less, no more, simplicity at its absolute best. If you want a crazy burger with all the fixings and specialty ingredients: look elsewhere. If you want a shake with the latest trendy super fruits: look elsewhere. You won t find anything new and fancy here, and the second you do, you ll also find a business that isn t the Peters people line up for daily. Did you know they even sold a record breaking 4,000 shakes in one day? When was the last time you heard of the new trendy restaurant doing something like that. Exactly

So why mess with a good thing? Peters Drive-In is perfect the way it is! There s been some changes like the recent introduction of debit (lol ), but they still only take on what s necessary without changing the core business and their quality commitment. They re making a pretty bold move with the opening of a second location in Red Deer, something they ve previously avoided doing like the plague. It should be interesting, but I don t think people will be worried about them selling-out and mass-franchising for more money quite yet. This is never something the original owner Gus Pieters wanted. That being said I doubt there will be too much uproar about the Red Deer location, I actually hope it s well received and I don t doubt it will be. So next time you re driving by The Drive-In You Can t Drive By , stop by and grab a shake, lets cheers to tradition!
