They are very affordable with delicious food. All the people are very nice and I think that you can always count on having a good experience there. Also the man with the mustache and cool socks was very helpful and I felt bad for spilling my stuff everywhere but he was chill about it.

I love the drive in feel! Definitely captures the old school drive through. The burgers and Shakes with real Strawberries 😋 that I could never find anywhere are here the value and experience was great! Forget mcdonalds. There is lots of variety and a great family drive in.

Declineing slowly , but we can't give up on places like this , it's all we have left from the old world ,we must do whatever possible to keep them running just like the old drive in theaters, we must bring them back , keep the Democrats away from our decisions

Their special sauce / burger sauce is great. Waffle fries were perfect. Old 50s and 60s rock and roll playing on the speakers.
So, I really love Boomers because it is like a more quality version of fast food. It's going to be real ingredients, nothing like a McDonald's burger. They have lots of options, too; fish n chips are one of my favorites. Servers are always super friendly even when they're busy, and it has a fun 50s-60s aesthetic to it. The only major complaint I have is that the lettuce specifically seems to often not be fresh, and I don't know why. A small fix that could literally bring up their burgers two grades.
The last three times, over various months and at different times of day, there have been issues. Twice, despite waiting there and eating food right away, everything was cold. Like cheese not melted, fries tending toward cold even over lukewarm which I’m not sure how is even possible and just generally really subpar. The last time, the handheld devices for payment weren’t working and the third time we tried, the worker slammed it into my phone. You shouldn’t have to even touch someone’s phone to take digital payment. That sucked. We ended up leaving disappointed without food. Two stars because the milkshakes are consistently good and the format (nostalgic drive in) is good. I get that things are busy sometimes. But if you’re charging full price, busy or not, people have the right to a consistent, hot when it’s supposed to be and tasty product. Thanks.
I’ve loved coming here for the food, but man do they have so many rude workers working takeout/dine-in 😠total vibe killer. It couldn’t be more obvious they don’t like their job.

I always feel like I’m in a movie when I go here, specifically, Back to the Future.
They have good old fashioned hamburgers and milkshakes and 50’s music pumping out the speakers.
Every single server that’s ever served me at the drive-up has been rad.
Tip: Get there RIGHT when they open at 11 am when their yearly anniversary sale is going to ensure a spot!
Now I see why the lights were out in the bathroom, from another review on here. But I had to go, so I had to feel for the toilet and toilet paper and sink because it was literally pitch black in there. Loud trucks ruin the atmosphere a bit. Food tastes good but I had some stomach pains afterwards.
Bellingham landmark. Absolutely old school Drive-In. Even the music is from an old diner. Great burgers and the waffle fries are iconic. Don’t forget a milk shake and don’t miss eating here when in Bellingham’s South Side. Excellent service right at your car or inside too.
Friendly service!
Amazing place, came from Victoria and honestly I wanna go back just for this place.
