Peter's Drive In Reviews

A very busy iconic restaurant in Calgary. Any flavor of milkshake you could want. Hamburgers were average. Hot dogs are good.

We were there only one time to taste their burger and milkshakes as we heard they were famous for that. We had their cheese burger; but the taste was average unfortunately. The milkshake was awesome and it s really delicious. However, the cheese burger didn t impress us - it was okay, but we were expecting something more. Anyway, I would recommend this place.

Love the milkshakes. Everything is giant so order accordingly.

Food was great and service was very fast even though they were lined up forever! Drive thru was quicker than waiting in line at the walk up.

Delicious burgers and fries! Love the portion sizes!

Best retro burger and they do it lettuce wrapped too if requested. We tried the triple cheese and it didn't disappoint. Portions are large.

Best onion rings in city. Handmade burgers and best shakes. Must try. Lots of parking.

The burger was decent but their Pepsi was flat or felt like sugar water.

Amount of seating was two picnic tables, which was enough as most people were drive in. I think they need to be more specific with people on toppings offered on a regular burger.

Great milkshakes, good onion rings, mediocre everything else

Awesome milkshakes calgarys peters drive in is the best.went to red deers peters driven in milkshake was runny not even close to calgarys original.

The milkshakes are always worth the trip! The best milkshakes around for sure.

They have been in business for a very long time. Their food is great! When you order a single burger you always get two patties. 3 for a double and so on. Their milkshakes are the best in the city with over 3,500 combinations for you to try.
Dual drive through windows so your passenger can do the payment and collection. This helps them keep the lines down during busy times.
Love the place.
If you visit Calgary, visit Peters!

Best milkshake in the city!! A must go...for milkshakes

Precooked burgers in gross red sauce, burger was dry and luke warm.

Always good food and friendly service. Been going here since I was 15 and I am 24 now

My go to place Everytime I visit calagary for the famous milkshakes and family size fries. I've visited Peter's drive in on all my trips to calagary but the quality of food / shakes hasn't changed one bit. I shall be back for more next time I visit.

Didn't even know Peter's had veggie burgers.
Very much the costco style bean burgers (which I love) so it was a nice unexpected surprise when I got a shake.

Giving 3 stars Because of the awesome onions rings only. Burgers very soggy and greasy. Milkshakes - super sweet

Good go too for late night eat. Always received friendly and good service.

The quality is always consistent too, so when you go you know what you are getting.

The parking lot has a lot of parking!

The most awesome milkshakes i've ever had. Best drive in burgers.

Good food. Friendly staff. A bit of a wait, but that is just how it is on a nice summer day there.

You can get a combo of 3 flavours. Refer to the picture of the menu that I posted. It's 5 dollars for like an extra large cup at 7 eleven. Milkshake is super thick, slowly melts on tounge. Its worth the money.

One of the best Highlights of any road trip South is always Peters'

It was delicious. Very fast service when we went. Amazing milkshake.

The line up is long, but the milkshakes are worth it. The food is a hit or a miss for most.

It's classic and everything I eat from there are always hot and tasting delicious!

Not as it used to be but still very delicious. Staff is great as always.

Dont waste your time or money coming here. 3 people with burgers and sides came up to over 40 dollars. The fries are horribly bland and the burger was just ok at best. You can get more flavor and value from your nearest mcdonalds for just a fraction of the cost.

patties are flavorless, not enough meat to bun ratio...and btw what kind of burger joint doesnt have bacon:/
The french fries were just blah & undercooked.
I waited a long time in line only to be disappointed.
I would only go back for a milkshake.

They were very busy for 8:00 pm. Service was quick .Burger was very good and Milk shake was excellent..value was very reasonable.
Defently recommend if your cruising Calgary , check it out as it is unique ..

Peters serves a very thick shake. Burgers are ok, I think it s a bit over rated with huge lineup most times in the summer or whenever weather is good. Good for first time experience.

No longer the Calgary institution it used to be. Go here if you want an expensive, bland burger that will give you diarrhea.

Peters is a Calgary landmark. Their feature product would have to be their milkshakes. You can choose from any combination of 20+ flavors, so there's something for nearly anyone.
The burgers and fries are good too, but the onion rings are freakin fantastic!
Milk shake + onion rings = happy taste buds for me.

They have a roomy parking lot with plenty of patio tables under trees between parking spots for outdoor eating, and the outdoor lineup area has heaters for the cold winter months.

One last thing: the drivethru line gets LONG.
When that happens, I recommend parking, putting your legs to use and standing in the people lineups. These lines may look just as crowded as the drivethru, but they really do move a lot faster.

There is not a lot of vegetables inside, but the hamburger sauce is just right. It is really delicious. I ordered a milkshake with vanilla flavor and it tasted good but it was so tough it was hard to eat it. I waited about 20 minutes and I guarantee the taste.

You know. It's not the same as it used to be. Something changed with the meat or the sauce. I still like it because the shakes rock. It would be 5 stars if we could just go back and ask how to make a good burger from previous owner.

There is a reason this place is legendary. Always fantastic!

The food here still tastes great. There's no indoor seating, so in the winter, that is a downside. The food makes up for it though!

Good food, excellent shakes. If you are in Calgary and you haven't been you must.

The burgers sure have changed over the past few years. VERY dry and almost unedible. I don't think the meat quality is very good. I'll only ever go there for the milkshakes now. What a disappointment.

The food is always worth the wait and the price. Haven't had the same milkshake two times in a row there are so many options.

Some of my favorite burgers to get and i personally am yet to find a place that has better milkshakes with such a good size cup. Lots of great milkshake flavors to choose from too.

Great place to get a shake. Fries and onion rings are good as well

Milk shakes are very good but burgers are just ok. Expensive and long lines. Go at non peak hours for best experience.

Any true blue, born and raised 403 resident is probably super nostalgic about this old school drive thru. Get the double cheese with extra sauce, the onion rings, a pile of napkins and try to eat before the grease soaks through the bag :). While non-Calgarians (visitors/imports) appear split on this, just understand that this place has been around for over 50 years and it s Calgary s staple spot - like a Schwartz s in Montreal (except a different sandwich I get it)

Burgers are back to being as good as they were before the sale but the service at the drive thru is horrible, last two visits have been 20 minutes in line, they except debit now but only have one machine for the four service windows really bad as it was not really busy at the place. There is a ton of people working inside but the line moves at a snails pace.......pick it up please

Good cheap food. The lines can be pretty long during the summer. I'll usually grab a burger before heading to the nearby climbing gym for the evening.

Peters is all about the milkshakes and ice cream. They have 1000s if flavour combinations for their milkshakes, and they are very good. The food is good, but I would t go out of my way for Peter s hot food.

Always a favorite! The staff are amazing and the food was exactly what I expected!

I remember when a large ice cream cone was a large ice cream cone. No longer happens at Peters Drive In. Even if you ask for a LARGE cone, they just ignore you. On another note, the deep fried mushrooms are great, at least the last time I was there. My quest: come on: give out larger cones. I remember when the cone itself was large in order to fill with ice cream. It's a rip off now. What a shame. I'd rather pay a bit more and get my request filled.

The absolute best hamburgers fries and shakes in at least Western Canada, maybe even in all of Canada. Yum!

Bring your appetite. Their burgers are awesome. Finger licking good.

Just had lunch, ordered family fries found several long blond hairs- yuck!

Classic Calgary drive-in for burgers and milkshakes.

Always worth the wait! Chocolate banana milkshakes are amazing!

Great burgers fries and milkshakes! However very long lines almost all the time

always get what your expecting. great food no suprises

Always good. Best milkshakes ever. Most flavor combinations

A great place with great food. The milkshakes are awesome. The staff were a little surley today. So 3 stars today.

Lines are fast but always long as this place is so popular
