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!

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

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.
It's been a good place to eat as long as I can remember.

Went into the Ballard’s Iceberg today, excited about having a shake. Boy, was I disappointed. My husband and I went in for lunch, ordered a 1/4 lb pastrami burger, a plain hamburger, lg fries and 2 shakes. One strawberry banana and a rocky road. Needless to say, what we received was overcooked, over salted hamburgers. The greasy fries were so salty we couldn’t eat them and don’t forget the two soupy shakes. We ate 1/2 of the burgers, and threw away the fries. When I went back in to ask about the shakes, I was told that the flavoring liquid they put in them causes them to melt. I’m like what??? I asked her about the Rocky Road shake which consists of almonds, mini marshmallows and chocolate ice cream. Not this one, it had chopped almonds galore, liquid marshmallow cream and chocolate syrup which equals = Creamed Chocolate Almond Ice Cream Soup. Yuck! ? I said the Iceberg on 9th and 3900 S doesn’t make theirs that way, and I was told they were not affiliated with that store. Well, the joke was me, because let me tell you Ballard’s, you guys need to do some heavy market research. Because the quality of goods you’re selling isn’t even in the same league with The Iceberg Drive-In on 3900 S and 900 East. My wallet is $40 lighter, a lesson learned, and we won’t be back.
