The general high rating this place defaults to is too generous. This is a solid three. The burgers are not special in anyway, basic in fact. The fry’s and onion rings are on par with buying them from Costco and assign seasons salt yourself when you’re in a hurry. With that said, nothing is horrible, but it also doesn’t elevate to a 4.4 they are currently at for google reviews. Staff was nice and friendly, they are prompt. The issue really is that for someone looking for “home cooked” with simple uncomplicated ingredients will probably love it, but if your looking for a meal to make all the calories worth it you will likely not be impressed. As someone else has pointed out the change in ownership may be effecting the recent experience here and they might not be doing something the prev owners were to get the flavour a bit into “wow, glad a drive accords town for this”.

This place used to be really good when the older couple owned it. You could tell they cared. Everything was fresh, the burgers were solid, and the fries were always on point.
Since they left, it’s just not the same. The quality has dropped big time. Fries are almost always overcooked and barely seasoned, and the burgers just don’t taste that good. I’ve given it a few tries over the past year hoping it’d improve, but no luck.
Kinda sad to see how far it’s fallen.

I had the opportunity to grab a bite to eat there while dropping my wife off at physio. I felt badly that I didn’t read the sign and plugged up their drive-through lane for a few minutes. Parked and ambled over for a burger as a way of apology. The burger was good and the krinkle cut fries were exceptional (crisp, not too greasy). The service was fast. A very nostalgic old drive-in feel with food to match. Finally. The prices are very, very reasonable! I definitely plan on a return visit next week! Maybe, I can work my way through their menu?

Stopped by CB Drive Inn today, and I’m still thinking about the food — it was that good. First off, the burgers were incredibly fresh and juicy. You can tell they’re made to order with quality ingredients. Every bite was flavorful, and the patty had that perfect grill-seared edge that makes a great burger unforgettable. The fries were just as impressive — crispy, golden, and perfectly seasoned. Not too salty, just the right blend of seasoning to complement the main dish without overpowering it. I also tried the onion rings, and wow — they were packed with flavor. Crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, and clearly made with care. No soggy batter here! To top it all off, the milkshake was amazing — thick, creamy, and rich without being overly sweet. A perfect finish to a nostalgic drive-in meal.

Good food & excellent local run place. Way better than Peters. In fact we drove past Peters today just to go north out of our way for CB shakes. Worth the effort & the drive.
