Peter's Drive In Reviews

Excellent burgers and hot dog and float, good price. Fries are kinda meh but we'll be back

Haven't been here for years and seems to have changed a bit....Was alright

The drive in you can't drive by. Milkshakes are so good but only come in a single size. Great for sharing

If your into milkshakes this is your stop. Burger and fries were meeeyaaa okay.

Milkshakes are good. Prices are too high for the quality of food, though. May as well go to a restaurant. But it is a fun experience in summer if you have children. Calgary staple.

Great service and excellent food! The ladies were super helpful with a small change in our order, can't wait to go back!

Used to live basically across the street. Great Milkshakes, and the BEST poutine (they have great gravy and the fries are perfect for poutine). Living in California now and I really miss that poutine, portion is large so it is perfect for sharing...poutine does not keep well ;)
I never was a huge fan of their burgers, but my husband sure loved them.

A staple of Calgary. Classic burger and fries, plus a huge selection of milkshake flavors! A must visit.

They've got two drive-thru windows and four walk-up windows, and are quick with their orders, without losing quality in the meals.
Obviously a great place, because it's lined up constantly!

It's amazing that their cheeseburgers, onion rings and milkshakes are always cooked to perfection, tasting EXACTLY as they have since the first ones I had 40+ years ago!

A welcome treat in these take out lockdown days, I highly recommend Peters. Worth the wait in the drive thru lineups.

When in Calgary, this is THE place to stop for a burger and milkshake. Between the burger's secret sauce and the thousands of milkshake flavor combinations, this place has stood the test of time. Orders are delivered quickly, and there is a huge parking lot with many picknick tables to enjoy the meal.

My kids love the shakes but we need to remember to ask for kids size instead of wasting so much of the big size. Plain old burger fries and hot dogs rounded out with a shake and big straw to drink it with.

My lime shake wasn't mixed properly. Other than that, gr8 quality

Girlfriend recommended - great shakes and onion rings. Close to memorial drive overlooking downtown - take your food there and enjoy view - good food and a good time

50's style burgers and onion rings. Always fun, but makes me nauseous every time from the grease and sugar overload.

Speaker on drive thru was not working. Employee was very rude and impatient about the whole ordeal. Snapping at customers. Not the same as it used to be.

BEST Milkshakes ever! And their burgers are of great homemade quality & you must ask for the onion...

Bun isn't toasted. Burger is warm/cold. More on the cold side. Line up is long. Too much hype. Milkshake is good though.

Great milkshakes and burgers definitely would recommend

If you are ever visiting Calgary, this is a must-do! Great burgers. The onion rings are amazing. And the milkshakes...they are the best ever! I strongly recommend the Cherry Chocolate, or Strawberry Pineapple, or if you're feeling adventurous, go for the Pumpkin Pie!!

Freaking love their shakes! I just wish they came in smaller sizes because I don't have the delf control to not drink the whole thing lol.

milkshakes are great. My concern would be to fix the PA System. We ordered specific milkshakes they were committed in hearing what they wanted to hear so we just agreed and told them st the window what we ordered specifically. Order was fixed right away. Just good for thought clear communication just makes things better and faster.

One of the best burger / milk shake joints in Calgary. Never disappoints!

Unique burgers and good milkshakes. Onion rings are very good and while fries might not be the best you get lots of them.

How can you lose going to Peter's, always just get a shake. Great stuff

Drive through milk shakes tasted great, nice and fast. Everyone was wearing a mask so it looked safe.

A Calgary icon, great burgers and amazing shakes. The fries are real fresh cut spuds, and the rings are nice and crispy

I was raised in Southern Alberta and we would always make a trip to Peters' Drive-In when we were visiting Calgary. I now live thousands of kilometers away but every time I fly into Calgary I head to Peters for the great food at a great price. It's become a family tradition! Which flavour of milkshake will be your next favourite?

Burgers and Shakes are always consistant and tasty. Service moves along rather quickly both drive through and walk-up. We have been coming here from south end of city for 50 yrs . Nick and Frannie

I had probably one of the best milkshakes ever in 25+ years. Thank you peters! The staff was very friendly and relaxed

A must come for the milkshakes! Take note of the daily special for flavours as they're cheaper!

The milkshakes are to die for! Whether it's the milkshake of the day or your own concoction of up to 3 flavours, it's a must try for a hot summer day. There are a few picnic benches too - definitely family friendly!

I love Peter's, I've been going since I was small and you really can't beat their milkshakes!

it has changed over time but still pretty good burgers and shakes

I suggest the new owners rename the place 'Used To Be Peter's Drive-in' since the iconic burger stand has died a quick and painful death. Having grown up in Calgary, I was accustomed to going to Peter's and revelling in fast food heaven. The mere thought of their thick, golden fries and dense, creamy milkshakes was enough to get my gastric juices flowing. My last couple of trips there had my gastric juices sorely disappointed with some type of cold, hash brown size french fries and a shake which resembled a syrupy mixture. I thought that the first time I received this that perhaps they were low on supplies or had an off day. The last time I went, I surmised this was the new of way of doing things. All I'm left to say is RIP Gus and RIP Peter's Drive-in. It was a lovely relationship but it's clear it's over.

A classic. If in Calgary and you need a burger, shake and fries this is the place.

Milkshakes are now just flavoured icecream instead of real fruit.
Burgers are more bun than patty.
Fries and onion rings are typical fast food.
Only thing still "Peters" is the sauce the burgers are doused in.

It was a great visit love the food and best service I love that place to eat

Best burgers, fries and shakes hands down every time. They have special straws for the shakes to handle how thick and rich they are. Tons of flavour options, and sundaes as well.

It's always a treat to go to Peter's in the summer. I like the hamburgers but not a fan of the French fries.

Good food but messed up my order and I told them and she got mad

Love the burgers and all the flavors you can get with the milkshakes

The prices are great and I love that it feels like a place frozen in time, Also the milkshakes and combos are a summer must!

Amazing food and super friendly service. Will definitely go back

The burgers are delicious and their fries portion are huge! My kids love the orange shake there.

Long line up after football game. But the line up moved fast and milkshake was amazing.

Peters Drive In is awesome, great food, fast service and so many different flavors to choose from for milkshakes you'll never get tired of the same flavour again.

Really long line up during the pandemic, however, worth the wait! We were lucky enough to only wait in line for 30 min during dinner rush hour. If you are planning to go here during rush hour, expect about 30 to 60 min wait.

Food was as expected for a drive-in, but better than most establishment in Calgary. The staff were friendly and quick with the service. Onions rings were good, burgers had a lot of meat and worth every penny. Milkshakes tasted pretty good, but they do run thick. Overall all a good experience.

Probably the worst burger I've ever had. The one's at 7-11 are significantly better, which makes it even worst. Go to a DQ instead if you want a insignificant better burger for the same price.

Awesome burger, milkshake is legendary, could not even finish the load of fries, huge ketchup packs. No wonder they've been in business since my dad was young.

They have wicked fries and onion rings. But the burgers have become way to processed. They are tough, And the cheese was way to plasticy. Shakes are still good.

For some reason, Calgarians think this place is the greatest drive thru ever.
If you are not born and raised here and brainwashed to believe Peter s is the be-all-end-all of drive-thrus then you will be massively disappointed.
The burgers are seriously awful. Some of the worst I ve ever tasted. The milkshakes are literally just blended hard ice cream. The fries were unremarkable.
I can t believe people continue to line this place up, it seriously blows my mind.

We love the milkshake and the food it was very delicious and friendly staff

Simple but good. I would like some tables to eat in the same place

Decent food but long wait times to order at the walk up window or the drive thru

A Calgary classic, and still one of my favorite burgers!

It's a Calgary staple, love going for late night milkshakes in -30 weather

Amazing value, great quality and impressive service. Aa triple cheeseburger and family fries (more than we could eat) plus a milkshake. Puts our country (England) to shame with the value this gave us. Wish we had them at home!

Milkshakes are tasty and variety of flavors, however the burgers is not the best in town

good shakes, food is not good though unless you're drunk as hell.. fast service if you walk up instead of drive through

Just like any other fast food restaurant but I liked the burgers and shakes.
