Just a place. Menus are quite out of date for on line ordering. The year old picture of the menu seemed accurate. The grilled cheese and fries were so so and were were $13.88 with tax.

My husband got the big bopper and didn't love it, he said the bun was too big and overpowered the meat.
My kids and i all got the solvang and i loved it. It was delicious and it was a little smaller than a typical restaurant burger so i could actually eat it all and my fries and not feel overstuffed.

Bland food, overpriced, watery milkshake. Dry buns. Better off with McDonald’s don’t bother here.

It was okay, but hardly any fries or zucchini in my order. I got the solvang burger combo, and ordered a side of zucchini. Definitely not worth the price. Too expensive for very little food.
We like all their food. Viking burgers is the best.... Along with onion rings and a great thick shake. Carne asado tacos are wonderful also.
It’s kinda disappointing, I got tacos for my daughter and I got a burrito both al pastor meat, honestly the meat had color but it lacked any flavor, sometimes it compensates with a good sauce and lime but not here. The burrito only comes with meat and beans and melted cheese on top wich is kind of American in my opinion lol, also I don’t think the salad on the side is very good but it’s not bad either. The tacos were very average. All this is my opinion, I’ve been to other places cheaper and more flavorful. When I was already eating I realized that they have charbroiled burgers, I’m pretty sure they’re better since it’s a drive in and maybe that explains the tacos, but I’ll never know, I don’t think I’d come back to this place again.
Big Bopper continues to amaze me. It's my 2nd time here, and the food is still so good. Great for the price. The solvang burger is where it's at 🔥 Not a great atmosphere, just because the inside seating isn't perfect, and it's usually cold outside. I will definitely be back. Great burgers and nice staff.
Local to me. Always friendly and fast getting the food out.
Food is always good here. My wife loves the tacos al pastor, but i'm all about the burgers. So good. Try em out.

The food was great . Nice location to chill and watch the people drive and walk by. I only recommend not drinking ice ? tea . Drink at your own risk. We probably just got a bad batch, or it sat too long.
Parking: They have limited amount of parking in back like 5 or so.

Ordered a hot chicken sandwich, the chicken was very tough, the flavour was lacking, bread not good quality. Milkshake was ok. Definitely not worth the overall 4 star rating.
Service was fine, you just go up to the window and get your food. We asked the person at the window how food was, he shrugged and said it's good. Turned out to be the worst burgers we've ever had in history. Each of us chewed for so long that we couldn't help but burst into laughter at how long we had to chew the burger. Extremely tough with no flavor whatsoever. Being from the southeast region, we're well aware that the West Coast skimps on salt in their food, but this was an extreme case. I felt guilty for trying to finish the burger because I should have left my tummy clean without it.

Had to beg for extra sauce and napkins, food is not worth the price. I made the mistake of going because there was no line, even though I know better. Nex time I'll wait and enjoy my food.
- Expensive ($45 for this: Double Western Viking; chicken sandwich; fries; a banana milkshake; a horchata; & a basic tip).
- Tasty Western Viking & fries. Chicken sandwich seemed plain.
- Old-school cafe feel.
- Out-dated outside seating.
