I drive by this diner all the time and finally made it here for lunch. The burgers are small and the buns are REALLY big. The meat to bread ratio is not for me so I didn't really like it. I ordered the hamburger and my boyfriend ordered the fat burger. The biggest difference is more lettuce tomato and an extra patty. You kinda need that extra patty just to feel like you're biting into a burger. Chili cheese fries felt under cooked, but I'm sure the toppings made them soggy. Their onion rings are fried perfectly and it's a full ring, not the diced up crumbly ones. read more

The burgers , fried and onion rings are all good but noting insanely special the real special treat is the milkshakes !! I had the shake of the month which was a chocolate dipped cherry shake and it was AMAZING I'll definitely be by again to get it before the month ends , the staff were friendly and to the point which I liked and the one staff on the drive through had so mu ch personality I adored them read more

I'm not sure if things have changed here in the last 5 years since I came last, or perhaps my standards have gotten higher regarding both quality of food and service. Regardless, my experience today was lackluster on all accounts. To start things off, we walked in, and literally 0 of the tables were clean. We then stood inside waiting for someone to take our order for nearly 15 mins. We were the only ones in line. Several times I was really close to just walking out. There was a party of maybe 10 that looked like they were waiting for their food, so I understand a delay because of that, but they could have at the very least took our order, and advised us it would be a little longer than usual. This would have allowed us to have sat down while we waited. Rather than what actually happened which was that we were virtually ignored while we stood there wondering what was happening. While we waited, it was clear all the employees were too busy to help us, so we had to clean off our own table with some wet napkins. Once we finally did get to place our order, the wait to get our food was short, though they brought our shakes out to us like 5 mins before the rest of the food came. This may be a matter of preference but I'd much rather get my shake at the very least at the same time as my food. The food itself was not what I remembered. The buns feel very "manufactured", as if they just came off the conveyor belt. The bread is also really thick, which isn't usually a bad thing, but the meat is so thin that it gets drown by the bread. The meat itself was also fairly dry and unappetizing. The fries are better than your average fries, but lack any sort of seasoning or salt. I do have to say I feel the kids meal option is well priced. It was just under $6 to get a hamburger, fries, drink, and a cup of ice cream. The highlight is still the ice cream, for me personally at least. The shakes are just your typical soft serve ice cream with a variety of toppings. Some people, like my wife, may be turned off by the plainness of soft serve, but I love it. It's the only place in the valley that I know of where you can get a shake like this. Overall, had our service been better, I'd of course had a better experience, but even then, the food was just not worth coming back read more

This used to be my favorite place to get burgers, fish, and fries. The quality of the food and service has been in steady decline for some time now. Of the last 5 visits to the drive thru, they haven't given me my whole order 3 of those times. It is very difficult to check an entire order in my car before I leave. The employees should be counted on to do this. Do not go here, they are slow, the quality is nothing like it used to be and the service will leave your irritated. read more

Just are there for the first time. I was gobsmacked by how good it is. The Fat Boy burger is the best I have had in decades. The onion rings are better than anyone's. Even the fry sauce is tangy. I will return again soon despite the distance. Try it, you'll love it. read more

The food was not great at all. The burgers have no mustard. Sweet pickles. Wtf! So mediocre. I will never go back. The fries were soggy and not salted. Had zero crisp to them. I love supporting local places but never again for us read more

I love ab's I grew up on the restaurant and I still to this day love the restaurant I love this place SO MUCH

Ab's was a great place to dine. My husband and I would sit at the counter. Recently they have added Riley's into the Ab's on 5600 West store. They took out the counter seats completely and boxed in the whole area with partition walls. When we went in and the place is now boxed in. We've been going to Ab's for over 20 years. We turned around and left. And will probably never eat in that store ever again. Thanks for all the years of service Ab's we miss you already. read more

It was my first time here. I ordered a Fat Boy burger, chili cheese fries and a strawberry & banana milkshake (the milkshake melted in my car before I was able to take a pic). The burger was just okay. I felt that it could have been more flavorful (especially for their price), but maybe that's just me. Still, it was a bit disappointing. (I did like the toasted bun, though.) As for the chili cheese fries, they were good, and I loved how fresh the fries were! And, although I thought it was odd to charge extra for fry sauce, it was the best I've ever had. The strawberry and banana milkshake was also yummy. I really liked the huge chunks of banana in the mix. Other positive were, their drive-thru line moved fast, and the service was nice. All in all, I'll be back. read more

Ab's Drive-In - a cheeseburger and fries - Burgers Near Me - West Valley City, Utah

Worst shake ever. Using flavorings instead of real ingredients. Cheesecake cubes don't taste like cheesecake and were discolored and stale.

The food is average, nothing to write home about. Service is slow and I was the only one waiting for an order. The people working are young, not friendly and didn't seem thrilled to be there. I asked for a straw for my drink and the girl told me there was already one in my bag. I got home and there wasn't one so we can add laziness to their list of qualities. I've had good experiences at Ab's before so will probably go again but not any time in the near future. read more

I haven't been back in 13 or so years because the ab's by my house but sadly they closed. The food is so good same goes for the shakes I almost got one but I would've gotten teary eyed. This restaurant has a special place in my heart. read more

We had a COVID visit to the drive through after desperately needing an outing. Headed there for lunch and the line was relatively short and moved quickly for decently fresh burgers. I had the grilled chicken meal. The chicken sandwich was hot and delicious. The chicken was good quality. The fries were good but the fry sauce tasted gummy - I wouldn't order that again. Skipped the milk shakes only because we get zero exercise right now. Kid at the window put one glove on to take our payment but then used his other hand to complete the credit card transaction. ‍ I'm hoping over time we as a population learn how to interact but reduce cross contamination. I'll go back again next time I need a local burger fix. Maybe next time we can go in and enjoy the dining area. read more

Ab's Drive-In - Grilled chicken combo - take out - Burgers Near Me - West Valley City, Utah

Fat Boy made me a proud fat boy! This burger provides so much flavor and is not messy at all! I really enjoyed this burger. I had hard time deciding which fries I should get. Hand cut fries, bacon cheese fries, or chili cheese fries... I decided to go for bacon cheese fries because I was in the mood for bacon. Best choice I've made because it did not disappoint me! Ashton was the one that helped me with the order. He was super friendly and welcoming! Thank you for this outstanding customer service and a yummy food!! :) read more

Ab's Drive-In - a cheeseburger and fries - Burgers Near Me - West Valley City, Utah

I had the fish sandwich and a grape shake. The sandwich was mediocre. I was excited for the grape shake, but it just tasted sweet with barely a hint of possible grape. Disappointing. Hubby had a burger and fries. He said it was decent, but nothing to get excited about. The staff was friendly, though harried. One can see how short staffed they are. There was a For Hire sign outside. While there are other choices in the area, we probably won't be heading back anytime soon. read more

Usually burgers would have to be pretty dang good for me to go and let me tell you... these burgers are pretty dang good and the chicken was really good too, the only downside is that when we were ordering, we told the cashier "we are looking" and he said "alright, well look faster, considering this was about two weeks ago and I still remember, I would say, it left a pretty bad taste in my mouth, never less, this doesn't take awake from the burgers and chicken, the fries were alright, a bit oily but the sauces were realllly good, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quick bite! read more

All around poor experience. Milkshake had hair in it, food order was slow to deliver and ultimately not what was ordered. Restaurant was not clean, with floors, tables, walls, and windows all noticeably dirty. Will not be returning read more

Shake your love! Shake-shake-shake your love! I was singing that tune after trying the chocolate banana shake at Ab's - this is my go-to flavor anywhere I go - and they pull off the fast food shake with panache. I tried the shake at their sister sandwich shop (Riley's in West Jordan) and feared it may be more of the same. Where the Riley's shake fell short in not having enough chocolate syrup, the Ab's came through with flying colors. It may depend largely on who's running the machine that day, but whatever high school kid mixed mine tonight should definitely get college credit. Young player, may your acne be only temporary and your voice finish changing soon. This is a fast food shake. Smooth, a little bit melty, and a few little chunks of fresh banana throughout. You'll still need a spoon, but it's not that grainy stuff you get at corpo chains. Sometimes I'm in the mood for ice cream presented in shake form, and this is not the place for cement-like treats. There's a simple menu of savories here too. Burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries, hot dogs, and fish filet sandwiches. Saturdays are bargain days when hamburgers are $.99 and corn dogs just $.59. I'm also a thirsty fan of places like Ab's where you can add a shot of flavor to your drinks. Here you can choose from fresh lime, cherry, grape, or vanilla starting at $.30. This location is a ways out there on 5600 W, but it's a nice little shop worth the stop if you're nearby. read more

Ab's Drive-In - Burgers Near Me - West Valley City, Utah

Overpriced burgers I can get in a kids meal. I ordered a cheeseburger Combo Large, everything on it except tomato. I got a kid sized cheeseburger, medium fries and a coke. Competitors offer this with added condiments for free, yet adding bacon for $2 and charging for fry sauce to boot is overpriced, up your game with incentives or compete with your competitors. My meal took a while, I figured "hey, it's should be cooked to order" right? Guess not, I got Luke warm fries, cold burger and I give props on the Coke (line wasn't long but hardly is long anyways). I've been coming to Abs for some time and have loved there food, overtime I've seen food portions get smaller and increased "Nickel and dime" tactics put into place and unfortunately no incentives for me to be a return customer. It would be nice to see a quality burger for the $price or a strong incentive such as value. I did not see that in the meal pictured! read more

Absolutely love this burger joint! Not only do I feel good about putting my money into a local business. The burgers at AB's are better then any chain restaurant. They have good specials as well. Try the shakes they are amazing as well. read more

i've been going to this place since i was in-utero and it's always my favorite burger. lately it takes 20-30 minutes at the drive thru, at both busy and slow times. not sure if it's being run by 15 year olds and that's why, but it's very disappointing. the worst part is that my food has been cold- like if it takes 30 min please let it be hot after 30 years i believe i just had my last meal at abs read more

They took a HALF HOUR to make my food and denied me a desert item for the wait when I asked. I'll NEVER GO BACK!

When I arrived they took way to long to take my order. Prices seem high for a combo almost 8 dollars. Orders seem to take a while to process overall quality is okay but their service could definitely improve. Staff was unapologetically and seems like they would rather talk and goof off instead of helping the customer. After all this they got my order wrong. read more

I'm so glad that they still have a location available near me. If you come at a good time when it's not super busy the service is efficient and the workers are nice. However, when the drive thru is busy just know that you will have a bit of a wait time but that's just cause they make everything fresh which I appreciate. I love love love their shakes. And their fries and chicken strips are delicious as well! I always opt in for extra fry sauce, which will cost extra but it is good. Definitely a place to come to if you're craving that diner burger and fries meal and quality. read more

Delicious old fashioned burger ... good bun .... Onion rings are fire af . Customer service was great . Def gonna go back but get my burger with a shake . read more

Better than you're typical fast food joint. Better flavor and unique options that you don't get elsewhere. Not the friendliest staff but still great food. The food comes out a bit sloppy but it tastes delicious. read more

This place is adorable! Is it the best burger I've had? Not even close. But it's one I will definitely go back for. The fries were amazing. The service was good. It was CLEAN... and that isn't necessarily a common trait. I can't wait to come back and try one of their milkshakes when it gets warm again! read more

Ab's Drive-In - Burgers Near Me - West Valley City, Utah

Normally I would leave a great review for Ab's. We have always enjoyed having a good burger. Unfortunately, the last two times we have visited have been less than stellar. We went through the drive-thru and waited over 45 minutes for our meal, but when we got to the window, we paid and then nothing happened. They had locked the doors and were shutting down. They never did deliver our meal. My husband drove around to the doors, they were locked at 8:57pm. I'd recommend not going late as apparently they stop serving before closing time. Wish I could get a refund of my paid for meal. read more

Chocolate peanut butter shakes are my new addiction. And you've hit the jackpot if the flavor of the month is Nutter Butter- you have them add this to the chocolate peanut butter shake and it's like a melted Reese's cup. Fries and fry sauce are also pretty dang good. I do wish their burgers were bigger. I did take off a star because the drive thru is a little slow, but honestly it's worth the wait. On the one hand I wish they had more locations, but then I worry that the quality would go down hill like many places do when they branch out. read more

Disgusting. A complete waste of $38 dollars an 30 min wait. The burger had no flavor at all. The fries were drenched in oil. We will NEVER go back. Huge disappointment read more

We decided to try Ab's tonight and I'm glad we did! The service was quick and polite and they got us through the drive up quickly. Now the best part...the food. I had the grilled chicken sandwich with a delicious lemon pepper seasoning. A little kick of extra flavor, but not overwhelming. Not overcooked or undercooked but tender and delicious. The fries were like the best homemade ones. They were served piping hot with a yummy fry sauce (it costs a little extra). Hubby had the chicken and fries which was also cooked perfectly. The chicken portions were huge and didn't look processed, more likely freshly cut. He also had a raspberry shake that looked great too. Thanks, Ab's, I'm looking forward to coming back. read more

This place has the most horrible customer service. There were only 3 cars in front of us in the drive through and it took well over an hour to get our food. Horrible horrible service. read more

First time today in the drive thru. We've heard good things so decided to pop in. We got "fat boy" burgers and onion rings. As well as a "rootbeer freeze." The burgers were great, tasted like we made them at home. Onion rings were mega crispy and "oniony." That "rootbeer freeze" though! It's basically a rootbeer float blended up. Great stuff. Will go again for sure! read more

Ab's Drive-In - Burgers Near Me - West Valley City, Utah

I wanted to like this place, I did. But unfortunately there's really not much that I actually did like. Burger was thin and flavorless, fries had no salt, onion rings had no flavor. But the thing that surprised me the most was the fry sauce. I read so many positive reviews about the fry sauce and I'm just bamboozled! It was the worst fry sauce I've ever tasted. It was so sweet. Something in that sauce did not belong. I'm confused what kinda fry sauce people have been eating to make them think this stuff is actually good. But hey, on a positive note, the vanilla ice cream was at least pretty good. read more

I haven't had good luck here the two times I've been here the fries haven't been it cooked all the way both times . And the burger was cold the last time . I prob will avoid them even though there a block away read more

First time trying this place just on the way to Walmart & wanted to grand something to eat. This will be the first & the last time going to this restaurant . The fires looked like they were microwaved & we waited outside for our fires for about 20 minutes . The outcome was not what we expected as well as the prices for it. read more

Not sure how this place stays in business with overpriced, small portioned, below average food. They call themselves the home of the fat boy, what??? The "fatboy" is a tasteless skimpy burger for which they charge you way too much. Maybe it is like calling a bald guy curly? read more
