I've had them many times over the decades, but this was the first time after the ownership change. It was delicious then, and it's just as delicious now. I love how you can 'beast style' any burger. And the quality with the beef has improved, in my opinion. I get that some locals might need to get used to the change, but I bet most are happy that this iconic Drive-In is open for business, and slinging good grub...

I usually would say the food here is pretty good. But I will also state that it is extremely inconsistent when it comes to the food I have received. I usually order a lettuce wrapped burger (which they offer on the menu) and I’m given a couple patty’s on top of shredded lettuce without the toppings I ordered, I got two and it came out to 35 dollars. With it being this much and not getting what I paid for it’s hard to want to come back.

Great place to get an old fashioned burger fries onion rings and even a shake. The food was good the service was good they were friendly and got our orders as soon as they could. The one thing I would like to tell people is be careful of that driveway. It's not easy to maneuver.

Just ate there today. Didn't realize it was under new management until we were there. They have cut back the menu considerably and changed things like the fries and special sauce that were Cougar country staples. I got the "mushroom burger", which they don't officially have anymore but they have all the ingredients and were very nice about being able to recreate it like the old one. My husband is a vegetarian and the only option now is the garden burger (they got rid of the beyond burger and the black bean burger). We both agreed the burgers were good, however the buns are much smaller than before. The biggest disappointment were the fries. Neither me nor my husband were a big fan of the previous crinklecut fries, but we would hands down prefer though over the new fries. They were mostly

Wow what an amazing place!! As we walked in we were greeted by Hunter. He was so professional, helpful and friendly. The food was so good complaints to the chef, Hamza,! The fries need no sauce and the cheese burger was one of the best burgers I've EVER had!! I love how they are wrapped so nicely. You can tell he puts pride in his work. Also thank you for having Coke Zero! Very nice and clean place, Go Cougs!!! Highly recommend this place! Thank you very much!!
