The shakes are amazing, like other reviews the fries are salty but, despite that everything else is great! If you’re ever visiting Draper UT this place is a great spot to stop for some good shakes!

If you know, you know, and if you don’t, it’s time you do. Ballard’s Iceberg in Draper is hands-down the best burger and shake joint around. This family-run gem has been serving up incredible food for decades, and it’s still as good as ever.
Everything is made fresh and comes out hot off the grill, just the way it should be. The burgers are packed with flavor you won't find anywhere else, the shakes are legendary, and the portion sizes are generous without breaking the bank. It's old-school in the best way, and every bite is awesome!
My family absolutely loves this place. It’s our go-to spot and the first place we take friends and family visiting from out of town. Ballard’s Iceberg is more than just great food, it’s a part of the community, and it deserves to thrive.
Thanks, Ballard’s Iceberg…don’t ever change!

Burger was delicious, do yourself a favor and get the English chips to go with it. The shakes are fantastic and it reminds me of the days of yesteryear. Family run joint. Has all the hallmarks of a great local joint and it delivers. Wonderful staff. You should all go there.
I love having good options that provide a sense of community and heritage, and Ballard's Iceberg checks off those boxes nicely.
Good food, good prices, good memories. Works for me!
Jeremy's Burger Ratings – 3rd Edition! 🍔
Just stumbled across a hidden gem—Ballard's Iceberg in Draper—less than 5 mins from my place it was hiding in plain sight!?! And wow, this bad boy shot straight to #2 on the list! It’s nothing fancy, but that’s the charm. It's clean, flavorful, has a crispy bun, and it won’t leave you feeling greasy or regretful. They nail that crunchy texture and have a nice springy saucy base. Absolute sleeper hit.

Great place for an old fashioned malt. The other malt franchise has lost the quality. Since there is no affiliation with them theses guys ate still the same as 30 years ago
I absolutely love this place. Good prices for good food! The staff is always very friendly and quick to help you and prepare delicious food for you at the time you order. I wish I had discovered this place sooner than last year. I honestly value this place as a hidden gem in the food industry for burgers, fries, onion rings, and shakes. They also have a breakfast menu as well.

Burger was inedible. Drenched in "Burger sauce" and had an overcooked texture. The onion rings were also soggy with grease. The shake was ok, but at those prices I'd rather go to Freddy's or

I loved the fries, and the banana flavored shake was stupendous!

Food here is fine. Old school drive in feel. Service however, less than 1 star. Apparently, ordering a plain burger with only the burger, bacon, & mustard is difficult to execute. After 3 tries, they still didn't get it correct.
