Peter's Drive In Reviews

Still one of my favorite old fashioned burger joints.
A true Calgary treasure.
Must try it when you come to the city.

Classic eats at a Calgary icon. You can't say you're a true Calgarian until you've had a Peter's burger. And best milkshakes and onion rings in town!

Hadn't been there for awhile, surprised me how good it was!

Really good place to much people they should make it bigger

Overhyped and overrated, sure as hell not worth the hour wait, let alone a 15 minute wait.

A great once and a while treat.... however, service seems to have gone way down, two of us got burgers and both of them were not at all to our order, falling apart, and soaked with sauce that shouldn'thave even been there. I was especially upset to see relish and mustard on my burger neither of which I can eat and I specifically stated that numerous times and both the cashier and the order taker said all the toppings back, seems they need a different labeling system rather than the chicken scratch they are currently using to label food within their kitchen.

Love their Veggie And Cheese Burger, poutine and tripple Cheese Burgers

Good milkshakes foods going downhill. Undercooked fries

This was the first time I actually here waiting. Don't see how it's so popular. Food not as good as I thought. I had ordered an onion ring ONLY, it took 30 mins. Waiting time was ridiculous, look into the kitchen, staffs just like no heads chicken running around but nothing got done. Everyone was waiting for deep fried food and only one person is working with the deep Fryer. Other staffs were wondering around do nothing. I would not go there again.

Always The Best Food!!!...And Great Calgarians Work There! I spend my summers in Calgary & always visit Peter's Drive-In to have the cheeseburger, fries, onion rings with a licorice milkshake - always SO good! This year I wanted to buy a few of the exclusive "Peters" tshirts to take back as gifts to family & friends in Thailand. Two staff members, Joanne & Cora, did everything within their means to get me the colours/sizes I needed! I very much appreciate all they did! Real 'Calgary Style' Customer Service ... thxxx

Large serving but I expected more from the burgers given its popularity.

Love this palce . I haven't been to this place in like ten years and it still rocks the burgers.

Only went for a milkshake it was delicious but it's kind of hard to screw up a milkshake isn't it ?

Hmmm....milkshakes. We went for a little treat and everyone loved their milkshake. They put the right amount each ingredient to create a great shake. Highly recommend stopping when you're in the area.

Bugers, onion rings and gravy were good but fries were not !!!! Only one drive through window open so a little longer wait time.

The person who took my order was a little rude but it was a 1 in like 20 times Ive been there really good food and very reasonable pricing

It was ok....but definitely not worth the 30 minute/20plus car wait...

Peter's is an experience you must have in Calgary, but don't expect much from the food. Grab a milkshake and call it a day. If you must, try the onion rings. Definitely stay clear of the fries.

I think their burger sauce may have some class a ingredients because it was phenomenal. Skip the restaurant you were thinking of going to and go here instead. Long queue but worth it it it was twice as big! Peters' get more locations!

Really more sloppy food than I remember, but I still like it. Milkshakes and ice-cream have not changed at all. I kind of wish there was some more training on food assembly so a burger doesn't look like chili when it comes to you.

Had a great meal there, 2 double cheese burgers small fries and small onions rings $28.00

Great Milkshakes but terrible food... usually wait at the drive thru for at least 30min.

Amazing shakes. I don't recommend the poutine though.

A staple of Calgary's history.Been around since 1964 same location. Essentially have always gone there for their shakes when I was in town to visit. Pretty hard to find anywhere else that has these types of flavours.BANANA, BLACKBERRY, More

I just read on Facebook the unprofessional and rude attitude towards customers with hijabs. Were the employees told to act this way ???
Perhaps they don't need to make anymore money from anyone.... this is Canada NOT TRUMP COUNTRY!!!

The milkshakes where really good and so was the food

I have eaten and loved Peter's drive in for over 30 years. When it was sold to new management I was concerned. Today was the first time in years I ate there. Thoroughly disgusted. My son and I waited 45 minutes at the window for our food. ONE sip of their "classic" milkshake told me something was very different. Why? Because it was warm. It was not made with ice cream. It was a foamy chemical concoction. Disgusting! The burger was flavorless and had many fillers. My intestines informed me of this within an hour. Disgusting!!!!

Seagulls dropped a hotdog on my head, otherwise pleasant.

It takes forever to get your food and then you find out it wasn't worth the wait. The milkshakes are good though.

Always amazing quality. Even though it was super busy the line moved well.

Peters' Drive-In is Calgary staple. Fantastic food and a great place to stop with your family for a picnic. It's a shame that the speed of service has diminished to the point that it takes 40 mins just to get thru the drive thru. What's sad is I'm sure the original owner would be turning in his grave if he saw the pace that the current employees are working at today.

I loved it. However, for those who are going there for the first time, stuff should explain where to get order and what to do next since it was confusing for us. Parking is a little small and packed.

Pshhh...it's nothing fancy. Their milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard but other then that it's your regular back yard BBQ burger. But, you will be full and have left overs. Large portions, large bill, but a staple every passerby should try.

The place looks run-down, but the food is pretty good.

The burgers aren't what they used to be but the milkshakes are still great

Great hamburgers and some of the best milkshakes in town!

Been going to Peter's for over a half century! Great burgers, shakes, onion rings, fries and sundaes!! Best ever shakes!!

Burgers are kinda messy. The milkshakes are amazing!

Good collectin or shake
They dont tske credit card

Large variety of flavours for thickshakes. Burgers and fries.

This is a Calgary institution. Thick milkshakes, great tasting food, and generous portions.

Service is a bit slow and the burgers and fries are just ok but the shakes are worth the trip

If you haven't been here you haven't been to Calgary.

Love this place!!
Milkshake day!!! Love these shakes!!
30 flavors - 4500 combinations
Combine 3 flavours

If you are in Calgary you have to eat at Prter's at least once. Dee-licious

So I've been coming here since I was a babe, and the only thing that has noticeably changed are the fries (which I miss the previous fries) and the fact that you can pay debit now! I love the thick, delicious, straw gets stuck to the roof of your mouth because it's so hard to suck milkshakes!! Ugh, caramel is my fav, but they are all amazing! and burgers are delicious with the Peter's sauce and all.the fixings. It may be that I love it because it's good or perhaps because I grew up on them but this place brings back good memories each time.

Great food and great milkshake. Fries were a little soggy though

The most overrated restaurant in Calgary. The burgers are skimpy like a McDonald's cheeseburger. And why is there one and a half patties? Weird.
And NO BACON?!?!? What kind of a 'burger joint' doesn't have bacon?
I think calgarians just are not aware of what a burger joint can really be. Nothing compared to the many in Winnipeg for instance. Red Top, George's etc..... If you're ever in Winnipeg that is.
The fries we had were also of poor quality and taste.
I will say the milkshake choices were many and were tasty.
