Peter's Drive In Reviews

Usually pretty fast, friendly service. The milkshakes and onion rings are the best, everything else is sub-par.

Its changed a lot. Use to love the burgers and fries. Even the hotdogs seems small and have a funky oily taste. Use to frequent Peter's especially with the kids but now even our teens don't want to go there which is unusual...

Classic/retro Western burgers. You get what you pay for here.

Delicious burger and fries! I will definitely be returning again!

Peter's Drive in is not just where you get your fastfood fix... it's a classic place to hang out and grab the cities best Milkshake!

Milkshakes here are the best. The rest of the food is very good.

Good shakes. Extremely busy with not enough places to eat.

The fries aren't perfect, and the burger is a burger, but the milkshakes, oh the milkshakes! There's almost too many flavors to choose from. Just a heads up, it will be busy no matter what time you go, so plan on a 15 minute wait.

We always stop at Peters when we go through Calgary. Great burgers and shakes.

I've been coming here for almost 60 years. I no longer live anywhere near Peters, but tonight there was a traffic tie up we were avoiding, and our detour took us right by, so we dropped in for a late supper. It was the first time trying it for about a year. I can't believe how they've actually improved over last time. The burger was fresh and great like always, but the fries now might be the best in Calgary. They appear to be hand cut. Fantastic! I very rarely give 5 stars, but it is deserved in this case. Fast service, friendly staff, lots of condiments, fresh, satisfying, honest, good, food.

It was a unique experience with delicious millshakes

The shakes are great. Wash them down with a box of fries and a couple burgers.

THE SHAKE IS SLAMMIN. THE FRIES BE PERFECTION. VEGGIE BURGER 6/7.

Honestly though, the line was hella long.

massively overrated

Too much mustard

too many LARGE chunks of white onion

bag was messy

Girl that took payment was clueless and gave me a stunned look instead of acknowledging when I said thank you

Boy at least window was brutally unorganized

TLDR= massively overrated and not worth the line up

Peter's has redefined the term "fast food" which their competition has all but forgot. I love their burgers but find them inconsistent. The success of the Peter's burger is the bar-b-que sauce. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much consistency. Sometimes the burgers are dripping in sauce and other times I leave disappointed, with barely a teaspoon of sauce on the burger. Their burgers used to be GST in. If I'm not mistaken in 2017, without announcement they changed to the GST extra model. I'm very happy to see them finally embracing electronic payments but why did they do away with the tap? Every other burger joint has it.

Locally owned drive in offers great burgers and enormous amount of fries for the.orice.

They have good hamburgers milkshakes and anything ice cream. They have changed their French fries and they are not as good I ordered a poutine and it was lacking to say the least

Burger and Friday and gray not the worst but not the best.

Greatest burger and milkshake joint I've ever been too

Line was long for the drive thru but so worth the wait.

Peter's drive in has been great since I was a kid and it still is! Tasty burgers, huge portions of fries and the best milkshakes!

It is a good burger, not the best ever. I hear the shakes are good.

Always so busy, but they move customers through really well.

Best Milkshakes. Huge flavour selection. No credit card payments.

Amazing milk shakes. Great burgers. Be aware, an order of fries or onions is huge. Delish.

Steady as she goes. Not much has changed over the years

Dynamite burgers and probably the best banana milkshake on earth! Been around forever, too - with good reason.

Amazing food. Friendly serivce. It has been a long time since i have had the chance to eat here burgers, fries, onion rings, hotdogs, shakes ( so good ) and 2 drinks for the kids. All of that still came out to less then when we eat at other burger places. Might have to make this a weekly trip. If you have not had the opportunity to stop in i would definitely recommend you do.

Make sure your hungry it's good but you must fix your problem with the speaker

Never been a fan of the food. Milkshakes are top notch.

Shakes are great, many flavors and generous portions. Service attitude falls short of food quality, but given the price, can't complain. Food (burger) was pretty gross. Stick with the awesome shakes =)

A bit pricy for what's offered. Fast service though.

Always fresh and fast, even with the constant drive thru line ups!

I made French fries and onion rings in a small size with the size I thought of in Korea, but the sheep are delicious!

Only two around me, this one and a new one in Red Deer, iconic place with great milkshakes and food. Usually pretty busy but if you're willing to wait, it's almost always worth it!

Best place for any kind of customers. Cheap, Big servings, Fast and Friendly staff...

Since I was a kid it's been a favorite especially the shakes.

If I'm anywhere in the vicinity I'll go out of my way to get some Peter's. Everything is pretty good, but the Seseasonal shakes are amazing.

Classic part of Calgary. Amazing onion rings, thick milkshakes with tons of flavors. A must stop every once in a while

Rudest drive thru attendent ever. Was angry that it was noisy outside while taking our order (it s a drivethru there s going to be noise) and told us we were speaking too quickly after I asked her to repeat the orderly kindly. After she continued to get mad I completed my order and commented on her lack of professional behaviour. I then got whatever as a response back. The most unprofessional behaviour ever from staff. Disappointed in Peters. When reporting her behaviour to the lady at the window, she simply walked away without acknowledging besides saying oh no . The drivethru attendant apologized, however still absolutely a problem. Peters needs to address professionalism and proper attitude with their staff.

Peters Drive in is a must do, especially being a native Calgarian who has been going there for at least 35 years of my life. I will admit the food seemed better in previous years, but is still really good! P. S. If you order the family size fries, you better bring an army of hungry people!

Been around for decades. Really good food....but not the best.

Overrated... burgers are not worth trying, shakes are no different from other places, just stupidly big.

Good food but slow service and they screwed up my order. Awesome milkshakes though

The best old school drive in burger joint. The type of place you see in movies about summer and growing up.

Famous Calgary drive in. Classic hamburgers, fries and rings. Milkshakes are amazing. Drive thru or sit in one of the many picnic tables if its a nice day or evening.

It is an iconic Calgary drive in. Great icecream and lots of picnic tables to enjoy your food!

Food is great but not much variety for vegetarians.

Great assortment of milkshakes and excellent prices for the amount you get. They get really backed up/busy on a sunny day but it's an old Calgary legend. I don't really care for their burgers but it's tradition.

Great burgers. Even better milkshakes. Fast food !

I went to Peter's and had a raspberry sundae and a regular sized cheese burger; all I can say is wow! The sundae blew me away. It was delicious. The ice-cream is very cold, soft, but not too soft, with cold fresh raspberries and real whipped cream. Every bite was fabulous! The burger was tasty. Some burgers are too dry but because of the barbeque sauce (not too spicy), the Peter's burger was just right. I ate every bit and was full afterward; I couldn't have eaten another one, and I ordered the single burger with cheese. I'll be going back for sure. It does have a 50's feel to the place too (like something out of Happy's Days) and that makes it all the better. Order your meal and park in the very large parking lot to munch and chat! You can go through the drive-thru or stand in line order in person. The wait isn't that long; faster than at some coffee shops. It is a busy place and no wonder!
