Peter's Drive In Reviews

Great milkshakes and huge portions however the burger quality has decreased since the new owners.

5 stars for their milkshake, best I've ever had. 0 stars for their burger, fries are boring and soft, no crisp to them. Onion rings are literally just oil.

This place has by far the best milkshakes in Calgary, the portion sizes are very, very generous. I would recommend the onion rings and fries but the burgers are almost inedible.

Still good food, but the lines can get ridiculous Great for family time though!

Good food, very thick milk shakes, reasonable prices, Calgary tradition.

What was once a staple of the city, is a fair place to go for lunch. Burgers are alright but doesn't keep up with other burgers in the same price range. Milkshakes remain fairly nostalgic. Staff are less than friendly. 3/5.

Good value and great milk shakes for a hot summer day. Lots of choices since you can mix flavors too!

I moved to Calgary in 1979. As a burger junkie, it did not take me long to discover the legendary and unique Peters Drive In. Back then, for those who like quirky little known trivia it was not a bright shiny drive in exactly where it is More

Best burger and shake experience in Calgary. Beware of the family sized fries, it is massive!

Best family fries in the city (for the buck). Milkshakes are delicious.

My mistake was getting each kid their own milkshake. they are huge, and thick! SO many fries as well.

Amazing portions and the thick shake is the best.. the sundae was yummy too..

its not wow burger but its simply tastier ...love to like the milkshakes concepts a bit similar on Johnny Rockets

Always great shakes, fun atmosphere. Very tolerant workers. Love Peters

Why change a good thing?

Ever since the place was taken over by the new owners you definitely don't get the "Peter's Drive-In" vibe anymore. They now accept debit and visa, is it convenient? Of course! But who remembers telling everyone that came from out of town. Hey, you gotta check out Peter's, don't forget to bring cash! That amoung multiple other things. This place used to have a whole bunch of people working there that you could tell had worked there for a long time. They knew how the place worked, service was much faster and generally simpler. They now take your order on a tablet, remember they used to write it on the side of your bag, do the math in their head and give you your change.

The biggest thing is, now you can't say only in Calgary! Oh, yeah, only in Calgary.... and Red Deer...

It has definitely went from the drive in you can't drive by to the drive in that's just like any other drive in. Nothing special here... Move on. Next. But hey, you got your fancy debit/credit cards and your tablets and your security cameras all over the place and don't forget your second location in where? Right... Not famous Calgary... But Red Deer. Top it all off with some not so friendly service and some long wait times and you've got yourself... Well you figure it out.

Milk shake was good but the fries are not to many bits at the bottom of the bag

When I crave it, I come here for their milkshakes and/or onion rings. Im not much of a fan of their burgers just because I think they're just okay, nothing too special about it. Their milkshakes are iconic for being hard to suck through the straw at first haha. I like how I can mix milkshake flavors. In the summer, it's nice to eat outside at their wooden tables.... and when it's cold at night they have heaters to keep you warm while you stand outside lining up and waiting for your order. Staff are friendly and will give a lot of extra condiments (when u ask) such as ketchup.

The milkshakes are really good. The burgers are juicy and one of the better ones you could get in the city. Try the pina colada/pineapple milkshake!

Need to try this if your new to the city. Amazing burgers and milkshakes

Had there Veggie burger and was very pleased with it! And I just love there onion rings alway the best

Milkshakes are amazing. Burgers and fries are a bit soggy and messy

Peter's is one the best places for late nyt munchis with best milkshakes and nice onion rings BUT please and thats for the PERER'S MANAGMENT : Have proper STRAWS for thick milkshake, its a struggle to have sips.

-Cheers

Love Peters drive in! Great milk shakes and burgers! The onion rings are also excellent! A summer tradition that s for sure!

Nothing really special about this place except the many different combination of milkshakes you can get, but if you like waiting in lines then this place is from you.

Always love it some changes but still great shakes and burgers

Milkshakes are really good must try. Burgers are just another burger. Delicious but nothing special.

I go out of my way for food here :) Can't wait for the Edmonton store to open.

Everyone knows and loves Peters' Drive-In. The place is always super busy because it's AWESOME.

It could have been the company I was with. Not my favorite place. Sundae wasn't great, lemonade wasn't great either. Customer service was decent

Just a fantastic burger place. An iconic stop when you're in Calgary. Fantastic shakes and burgers. Whether you're passing through or you live in Calgary, Peter's is a necessary stop.

Shakes are 10\10
Fries are 0/10 garbage(haven t met anyone who actually likes them)
Rest of the food is 7/10

Amazing milkshakes but not so amazing burgers & fries.

When ordering a hamburger, you have to ask for vegetables.
Large amount of French fries
No Shinka (Cache, Debit only)

If your looking for some of the greates shakes then this is the place. When you go there you will have to wait in a line for a while but damn is it worth it

Worst hamburger I have had....soggy bun...drenched in Ketchup.... and the beef was like rubber meat ...so gross! And the fries where soggy too! But the milk shake was really good!

Best milkshakes! Lots of flavor combinations and very filling!

The milk shakes here are great. I have been coming here for years. Top down on the Jeep, sunny afternoon. It's great.

Super milkshakes but they need much stronger straws. Much.

Everything is delicious. Nothing is healthy. Highly recommend the milkshakes.

Had lines and lanes to socially distance their customers. They were as fast as the could be given how busy they were.

A Calgary tradition! Best milkshakes in town and massive burgers. A must try place in Calgary! But be warned it's really busy!

Very busy expect a wait. But milkshakes are very very good. Wait is worth it

Been going here for years, best burgers and shakes in town

Great food and service. They always keep an abundance of staff on hand to serve everyone quickly. Lots of milkshake flavours!

Very long lines but they are super fast great milkshakes. Not so great onion rings and poutine

Calgary staple. Pina colada shake with extra coconut is summer

Love the food the milkshakes are awesome you have to come and try it you will not be disappointed i

Love their food... specially the burger I love the special sauce and the Milk shake are so good! The staff are friendly too

Amazing food. Great sizes. The milkshakes are thick but made with real ingredients. I have been going here for years and have never been disappointed.

Awesome place for food and milkshakes. Always my favorite place to get something sweet and savory.

Long line ups during summer time when everyone comes here for the milkshakes. Can mix up to 3 flavors in one milk shake, there is up to 4500 combinations available here. Awesome fresh fruit sundaes as well. Oh and if you rather eat your dessert than drinking it, banana split and dipped cones are awesome.

shakes are awesome and service is usually top notch! root beer is our favourite flavour
