1st time here & where to start, lol. It wasn't that busy, thank goodness. The wait time after ordering wasn't long at all. Filled up as we were waiting for the order. Most people ordered to go. We found a table. It's a very clean place, staff are friendly. The burgers are very big in size. They are smash burgers, which I like. Buns are toasted, and there are lots of condiments . Well worth the price they charge. We had regular fries with 1 combo. They supply enough fries for 2 people. The milk shakes are good also. Yes, we definitely recommend this place. As I said, big bang for your buck. You get more than at a regular fast food place. The meat is Alberta Beef. You do notice the difference.

Ok.. wow . We got single burgers .. and they ARE HUGE , the flavor of the burger is excellent 10 outta 10 i feel . 31 dollars for 2 people. But it is worth it . The whole menu looks amazing . I felt super rushed and lost while ordering lol, as I wanted no tomato and onion rings instead of fries. But I felt like I couldn't ask for some reason, maybe due to the millions of people inside behind me in line And the fact she just rung everything through super fast that I couldnt customize my meal or order more haha .. oh well, regardless , Its soo delicious. Again the single burgers is HUGE, wow ! This place is proably the best in calgary for burgers ! I love the retro look and feel to it . 10 outta 10 !

The Drive In has been here a long time and darn it, it was time to finally try it out!! And we were not disappointed either! Prices were in line with other higher end burger places. Choice/menu was very good. Service was fast and efficient. Very clean inside and they have a few tables. Tip: Park at the city parking lot just a block north (same side of street, right before the bridge) and it's just a few dollars. The food, we had hamburgers and they were HUGE and delicious! Condiments/toppings as you wish. Fries were crinkle cut and all were delicious, probably even better that other similar outlets. It's nice too that it isn't a chain and has been around since the 1940's! So, don't do what we did and stop procrastinating and try it out, we're sure you'll find it amazing value and delicious!

I was doing work in the Calgary downtown area and heard so often about Inglewood Drive Inn, so today I had time to stop in for lunch. I was there just past noon and I was able to place my order right away and get one of the few tables inside. I ordered the Double Bonfire combo. My burger came with Jalapeno Monterrey Jack cheese, pickles, onions, bacon, banana peppers and BBQ sauce and of course two patties. The bun was very fresh and the burger tasted great. My combo also came with fries and a medium drink. Only waited about 5-7min and my order came right up. It was almost too big to finish. I should have just ordered the single. When I was finished all the tables were taken and people were standing waiting for their ordered. People were also outside at the picnic tables to eat. There are so many burgers to choose from but all the ingredients are listing both the website and on the menu when ordering. They also have the ability to make your order online for pickup. I will be back again when I am in the area. I have to try one of their milkshakes.

We just had chocolate dipped dole whip because I had drove a different way to the zoo and saw the ice cream sign and thought, let's try here instead of the zoo first! And my kids were SO happy with the elephant ride, and so was I because it was so much fun, delicious ice cream, and the vintage nostalgic ride and the treats were super affordable too. We will definitely be back to have lunch here soon. So cool and loved the chocolate dipped dole whip. My kids got cones and I got one on the stick from the freezer which I preferred since it was more solid. They loved the soft serve. It was a great experience here and I'm sure a full meal here will be fantastic too. The staff was super friendly and efficient too. :)

It's definitely a favorite spot to grab a bite. On a hot day, you have to have a cherry shake. Any day is a great day for one of their massive burgers. They have such fresh buns and so many different types of burgers to choose from. If you have room for a side the onion rings always hit the spot. Everyone who works there is so friendly and very attentive to your needs. Always a good visit!!

Never been before but have heard great things! We both got a single inglewood burger and a larger fry to share as well as a dip cone. I was super impressed with the size of the food! The bun was super soft and fresh, toasted just the slightest bit. The patty was juicy and flavorful. A large fry was huge, more than enough for two people to share. We decided to both get a dip cone after any they were only 1.50! Great deal, especially for the size. Spent 28 for two full meals, great deal and the food was excellent.
