Amazing hot dogs and even better service! The owner noticed my dog and was very welcoming—such a nice, personal touch. Friendly vibes all around. Highly recommend!

Cute little drive in diner spot. Service was fantastic, owner greeted me and my partner with a smile. For those that have not been to Rocky’s I highly recommend it.

Excellent food. Staff made me laugh. Nice place to sit. Delicious milkshakes. Perfect summer treat, especially before the beach!

The counter staff could smile a bit more. I asked for cheese on my hot dog and got canned cheese! I ended up throwing it out. I won't be going back.

Best smash burger in town. The patties are all beef, standard 4 oz size, nicely seasoned, buns are top quality, and condiments are great. Love the pickles especially, they are very thinly sliced. Really great vibe inside the little restaurant too. Rick even makes his own special condiments from time to time, like hot peppers, which are super good. Dogs were juicy and had a great flavour, and the buns were perfect. Onion rings and fries are delish. The staff will answer any questions you have about the food. I highly recommend this place for fast food that is not ultra-processed, while still being fairly priced given the cost of food these days. I got two cheeseburgers with double cheese + o rings on top for $13 after tax. Remember Burger's Priest, folks? Cost more than that for a single burger.
Rick is a kind and generous guy in my experience. They will customize your order to a T. Get a double patty if you want more meat. They kindly put onion rings on my burger though that's not an option listed on the menu.
I can't recommend this place enough, it's a gem. Wonderful staff and excellent classic fast food. Been here probably ten times in the last month. Gotta get all my Rocky's in before they shut for the winter. Really appreciate what they offer to the city.

A place with tradition, delicious hot dogs and hamburgers, not forgetting Putin, accompanied by a milkshake. Yum!

I moved to Guelph this year and finally got around to visiting Rocky’s Drive-In. I ordered two 12” hot dogs and wow, they’re so good! I’ll definitely be coming back.

Serving hot dogs, burgers, and milkshakes since 1951, Rocky's is a thriving monument to the low brow eating establishment of simpler times. With an interior abounding in checkered tiles and James Dean posters, the joint exudes the sort of retro charm that is a tragic rarity in the area. The food is tasty, if a bit pricy, and the service fast and friendly. The hot dogs, while not actually foot long as advertised, are nevertheless sizable and made all the more delicious by adding chilli. Whether you're from Guelph or just passing through, Rocky's is certainly worth a visit, if only for a taste of what the area was like in the age of Rock n' Roll, Hot Rods, and Sputnik.
