Peter's Drive-In

Was always a BIG fan of Peter's (Calgary) so we were keen on trying the Red Deer location. Our experience was not good. The single burger came with 1and a half patties, the double came with 2 (shouldn't it be 2.5). Waited 10 minutes for the order and the burgers were not as hot as I would have liked. All this on "national fry day" and they had no fries! A note on the door stated that this was due to a shortage of quality product.
One thing that I immediately noticed was that the weight of the burger.wasn't as heavy or dense as I remember. Possibly due to the super thin patties they now use.
It appears that the new owners have changed things.and not for the good.

I guess I will never get used to all the changes made at Peters.
But at least I lucked out and got better fries than normal due to a potato shortage. Sometimes frozen fries are not that bad.

There was a chemical spill in the parking lot and and staff refused to clean up the safety hazard. They refused to call anyone to clean it up. They do not care. Any wondering animals would have a painful death if they even took 1 lick… so sad.

I’ve heard lots of people rave about this drive in burger but I have to say the food was mediocre at best. It won’t be my choice next time I’m after a burger and onion rings.

Maybe the milkshakes are worth stopping for but I didn’t try one.

Burgers at this location don"t even come close to The Peter'S of Calgary, that we remember. Too bad, sadly we won't be back.

Always enjoy Peter's. Single cheese, onion rings and a banana-strawberry shake. Nice place to stop for lunch on our way back from Edmonton.

When visiting Red Deer, this place is one of our drive-thru favorites.

Their shakes are one of the best - not only are they so tasty, the portion is also very generous. And the flavor selection is also wide, and you can also mix and match up to 3 different flavors!

If you're starving, don't go there. Service is friendly and quick, however the burgers and fries still taste the same as they did when I tried PDI 15 years ago in Calgary. I threw out the hamburger after two bites, the fries were fresh but had a stale texture. Maybe I'll try again in another 15 years

7PM monday, only two people waiting for food and no line, nobody sitting at any tables. There were two of us, orders were very fast, with pre-cooked burgers though. We ordered to go, but found both burgers made wrong, some key ingredients transposed between my daughters burger and mine. So I went back. The solution was a plastic knife to try scrape the ketchup off.the burgers didn't taste great to begin with, and the bun was already ketchup soggy, so I tossed it. Meh.
The shakes were awesome through! My daughter loved hers too. We highly recommend the shakes.

A burger and a shake. A single cheeseburger and a raspberry shake. You wouldn't think it would be that difficult. Tastless. Don't waste your time going here.

Food was good. Place was busy and felt a bit disorganized. But.we will likely be back, come on! Those delicious milkshakes are the bomb!

If you're looking to wait in line for 30 mins for a bland, Grey matter hamburger that doesn't stand out, I suppose this is the place for you.

Milkshakes are really good, they have that going for them. And generous portions on the sides as well.

Hot dogs are much better quality than than burgers, I'd give those a go before whatever it is they're calling a hamburger here. That's saying a lot.

Good burger, fries and shake, not too greasy, soft bread bun, good portion sizes – good alternative to the big chain burger joints.

So good! Great onion rings, french fries and milkshakes. I got the coffee milk shake, its so thick you might need a spoon.

Burgers were horrible, none of us could finish. Onion rings and fries were good. Wouldn’t try again, based on other similar reviews.

First time there and I was very impressed with everything, clean, lots of food options and many more.

Second time we came and got raw fries. They are not even cooked. Might have something to do with them not being busy anymore. We had to throw them away they were so bad.

The food was nothing spectacular and poorly "thrown" together. Was expecting thick juicy patties, got something that I could buy at a grocery store for next to nothing.
Wasn't impressed after being recommendes by a friend.

Mediocre at best not sure what the hype was all about. The service was good but the food was definitely not worth the price.

Burger was plain & kind of tasteless. I didn't even finish a quarter of it before I tossed it out to the gulls. Not the Peter's Drive In food that I remember, won't be ordering meals from there again.

What more can you say, it's Peter's. Shakes are out of this world and burgers are filling.

Always nice to stop and grab a milkshake on a long hot drive from Edmonton to Calgary.quick lines and easy to navigate.

Very similar to the original location in Calgary, except waiting in a long drive-thru line doesn't entail waiting precariously on a busy roadway. A must for milkshake lovers!
