Honestly not worth the money. I think I had maybe 8 fries in my basket. The burger was just a let down. Hardly any taste at all. It was all of two stars. The customer service was lacking big time. Just being honest here.
The burger was a frozen patty grilled quickly. The "salsa" on the jalapeno burger was cooked on the grill and so hot it burned my mouth. Not worth the price. Not by a long shot. $5 burger sold for $12
Giant Drive In is a restaurant trying to get by on nostalgia. While the the restaurant is unique due to its throwback to the old drive ins, that’s all it has going for it. In fact, I would argue the place is in dire need of an upgrade. They have a cramped seating area with torn seats and old tables requiring repair. Speaking of, the place could use a tech revamp as it is a cash-only establishment. Also, the wolf decorations gotta go. Food wise, this place underperformed. The “giant” burgers are alright. The toasted bun was nice but the sogginess of the veggies and condiments made it disintegrate rather quickly. The meat was none other than a 1/4 pound beef patties of the frozen variety and, while they are not bad, there is nothing special about them. Although you could order additional patties, they are definitely not as “giant” as I through they’d be, based on the name. On another note, the fries themselves were nice. However, don’t splurge on the “cheddar” fries. The cheese was bland, old nacho cheese. Definitely not worth the doubling in price. Speaking of, prices were about average. The service was a bit below; it wouldn’t hurt them to be friendlier. Of the burger joints in the area, there are some that are worth your money. Giant Drive In is really not one of them.
Always a friendly place with personal touch. The burger today was the best I’ve had in a long time. I have been a customer for well over 30 years. The place hasn’t changed much in that time span. That’s a “giant” thing!
Mediocre food with pretty terrible service. The staff obviously didn't care if we ate there or not. No drink refills you can't even pay extra and get a refill, just absolutely no refills, mediocre burgers, good fries, off-brand ketchup that they are very hesitant to hand out enough packets. The atmosphere is cute, though!
Not bad for a great tasting burger. I tried the Hawaiian burger and was different but tasty. Establishment is clean and has friendly staff. They only take cash.
At one time I bet this place had great burgers but not in the year of our Lord 2022. I ordered the onion rings along with a burger. You get 5 whole onion rings for $6. The big menu sign had prices of the burgers but surprise, there is a little 8x11 sign on the counter that says " all burgers are $2 more". Didn't see this till I was trying to pay. It ended up being $9 for a jalapeno burger. It was not the best nor the worst burger I have had but it is definitely the worst $9 burger I have had. Also, they take cash only, surprise, that's on a little sign on the counter as well. If you want a better burger at a better price, it would be very very very easy to find a better place Burger King, Carl's Jr, etc......
In a world where everything is a chain, this place brings you back to a simpler time. Burgers are great and milkshakes are awesome. For the idiots complaining about price increases, look at the world around you, even mcdonalds is just as expensive. A true ma and pa burger joint. Do yourself and the world a favor and keep this place around.
Giant Burger has been here for 39 years! Since 1981! Always the nicest people and delicious BLACKBERRY milkshakes!! Keep supporting them as much as you can!
I hadn't been to the giant in a few years. The burger was still awesome. You can never go wrong with the burgers at the giant. I wish they would step up to the year 2022 and accept credit cards that would be nice. It is a cash only business. Not too many of those dinosaurs left around.
