Peter's Drive In Reviews

The food is consistently great, however it's a little over-priced, virtually always busy.

Omg! Straight out of the 50 s, it s like travelling back in time! (Before hormone meat & gmos). Best shakes and onion rings ever.. ridiculously delicious burgers. Rapid service despite huge line up. Worth it! I see why this place is so popular. A classic well done.
A MUST when in Calgary!

It had been years since I was last at Peter's, stopped there a couple weeks ago. It's as good as I remember, the burgers are big, the onion rings are large portion, needs to be shared and the milkshakes are thick! Only suggestion would be to offer a smaller size milkshake, as well as fries and onion rings, it's just too much for one person and I am sure there is alot that does not be consumed.

A Calgary landmark. Still the best milkshakes in town, plus they take debit cards now!

I ordered the chocolate Sunday which comes with whip cream by default. Ask for a lid if driving in a car. It was pretty busy through the drive-through and the wait time was a bit long. Expected

Unique place to go. Great milkshakes, but terrible lines.

Good Milkshake and burgers! Great variety of flavors for the milkshake!

Beware portion sizes are big, there is a lot of bang for your buck here!

Food quality has changed. Not as good as it once was.

Always a favourite place to stop by during these hot summer days and enjoy a shake with burger and fries. Highly recommended the Peter's sauce, it's delicious! Hadn't been in some time and it's great to have them finally accepting debit and credit now as well as having new iPads to take orders for better accuracy. Easy to see why this place has been so famous for so long!

Great burgers, great fries, great milkshakes, only problem is the small portions

Everything is awesome good
The online thing is the speaker it's a little bit difficult to understand both ways
Other than that its
Very recommendable

not as good as they used to be, but their milkshakes are always good

Everytime were in calgary we go here . its turned into a family tradition

Coming in, I realized this place had a puny parking lot full of arrogant, dumb drivers and it's a wonder I didn't crash. I also had the feeling that since this was in the inner city, there would be arrogant smokers and the surroundings would be crack houses with unmaintained lawns. I was right! The picnic areas are surrounded by all this as well as the drive-through, which is discomforting.

I didn't stay long, because I noticed the place was either understaffed or overwhelmed by the long lines and I just gave up and looked elsewhere. I looked at some of the food, it's your typical artery-clogging greasy stuff, and I recognized the shakes from when i went to the Highland Games out in Springbank (The cups are the same).

If you have to come here for whatever reason, use the drive-through, though it's only marginally quicker and the line stretches back onto 16th Ave. (which is dangerous and frustrating for other motorists to those who are familiar in the area). They only accept cash to speed service so that is an inconvenience to card users, but the service is horrendous enough.

Not like it used to be, staff is not friendly, food isn t as good and why no hair nets? This place has really gone down. Used to love it but might have been our last trip.

Peter's will always hold a special place in my heart, good burgers, fast delivery and just an all around cool place. Highly recommend Peter's in the summer late at night, there's nothing like it in the world!

Milkshakes are amazing and very reasonably priced the only complaint would be: the speaker you use to order is very weak and it is hard to gear the person on the other end

Usually a bit slow but the food and drinks are always good! Same as i remember since I've been young.

Who doesn't love Peters? Growing up in Calgary it was a staple and I'm glad it's still around. There's usually a pretty long wait, but once you've had their food and milkshakes it's obvious why. Tons of variety for both food and shakes, and you definitely won't find a thicker milkshake anywhere in the city.

Food isn't great. Except the onion rings (those are a gift from heaven for your stomach. Greasy goodness!) Customer service was great. Very friendly, efficient and personable.

Large dipped cone is the best - don t try it in the car though!

The best milkshakes in town!!!! Fries and burgers are good too.

Love Peters Drive-In...but a little disappointed that our food was not very hot.

Good food even better service. Unique operation worth visiting

Food is so good here and has it's own lane on 16th Ave to get in awesome

Amazing milkshakes the food is alright if you are familiar with how to order it such as burger with toppings and what not.

Milkshakes and burgers that are out of this world. Line up is also out of this world (But it's totally worth it). If you have never tried it, you are missing out big time. Just pick a time that's not popular so you don't have to wait as long. The cost is cheap and portion size is good. There are lots of milkeshake flavours that you can choose.

Have been going here since I was a kid, has become progressively worse. Stopped in for some food this week and think it will be the last time. Not once but twice I bit down on a large bone chip in my hamburger, clearly are using the very very cheapest beef they can get their hands on. Fries were stale. Only reason I gave 2 stars is because their milkshakes are "okay", although they have always been way too bloody thick.

I thought it would be an amazing taste, but it was so normal and didn't deserve $5! BTW there's no indoor sitting area.

They are fast working, kind. The food is amazing the milkshakes are good, and a decent price.

Love this place. Classic burgers and fries. And the shakes are awesome. I don't know who Peter is but he deserves a high 5.

Great burgers and onion rings! Coming from the U.S. The checkers style restaurant is a nice reminder of home.

The best milkshakes ever. The burgers are a great treat as well. A very iconic place. you have never been to Calgary if you have not tried this place.

I got friendzoned here but great food and the milkshakes are killer.

Best place to grab a burger and shake with friends. Always delicious and always reasonably quick, even with a long line.

Place is awesome. Loved their milkshakes and burgers. Heard their fries weren't up to PAR.

Got an orange vanilla shake with a normal cheese burger which contains a patty and a half and some onion rings.

The worst part about the trip was the line getting to order.

Love this place!! Hands down the best milkshakes and burgers in the city!

A good place to go if you want alot of food but since they changed suppliers it hasn't been that good.

Always amazing coming her! Great value and prices are fair!

Nobody beats their shakes and the single cheese with banana peppers is awesome.

Classic drive in food...a little pricey but good portions and the fresh cut fries are awesome!

It was my first time coming to peters drive in and I didnt know what to order. The cashier was rude and impatient because she couldnt understand what we were saying. I understand things may get busy, especially during covid, but placing stress on customers do not help. Burger was alright. Fries were a bit unseasoned. Im surprised people are raving about the milkshake. It just tasted okay, nothing special about it. The milkshake tastes like Dairy Queen blizzards, in my opinion. However, the prices are quite reasonable. Based on my experience, Im not planning on coming back. There are better restaurants in the city.

The food is decent but more often than not, they get at least one of our burgers wrong. Between yet another wrong order and smaller fry portions I doubt I will go back.

Classic spot. Great shakes, good food, cool old school drive in vibe

Wonderful landmark 8 year as a kid and probably will continue to eat here until the day I die always great milkshakes and an amazing amount of fries.

Very rude and condescending staff... sloppy burger and really not satisfactory.

To enjoy the "flavour" of a 60's B joint. Food was very good, service quick and Poutine decadent!! Worth at least one visit to get your own "taste"!

Peter's Drive-In milkshakes are the best in the city, sorry Boogie's Burgers. Probably not a great idea to get the family size fries unless you're 4 or more people, it's absolutely huge, though you'll probably eat more than you think- they're great.

Cheese burger and milkshakes are the best. Small fry is huge.

We had a blast at Peter's. Best milkshakes in town and fun, nostalgic experience overall!
