Burger Boy Drive In - A Biggie Burger with sweet potato fries and fry sauce... - Burgers Near Me - Cortez, Colorado

This is a local spot where you pull up, park, and staff come out to you to grab your order. After a long day of driving, this was definitely what I needed. Something easy and fast! They had a ton of different, classic options to choose from. This is your typical drive-in burger spot. The staff gave some suggestions, which I appreciated since it was my first time there. My group ordered the chicken fried steak sandwich, the fish sandwich, sweet potato fries, and the jala bites. The food was hot and tasted good. I know you're wondering why we got fish, but I wanted something light! It didn't taste fishy and was yummy for a random joint in Cortez. The jala bites were a personal favorite, as they seemed homemade. It wasn't a classic jalapeno-cream cheese situation, but instead involved chopped jalapenos, nacho cheese, and it was all fried with a crispy outer shell. I'd come back for those alone! I'd definitely come back and try more. The price was fantastic too. read more

Always good food. I'm a local and we come here often. Food is just better while eating it in the car. read more

Burger Boy Drive In - Menu April 2026 - Burgers Near Me - Cortez, Colorado

A classic drive in! You don't see those a lot nowadays - most restaurants that still call themselves drive in end up being more like a walk in. I personally don't like eating in the car all that much, so we were glad to see that Burger Boy Drive In also had seating along the front. It works exactly the same as driving in - one of the car hops will come out and take the order, and then bring out the food. We dropped in a bit after 6:30 pm and the place was completely packed, with basically all the drive-in stalls taken. We sat down and placed our order at around 6:40 and didn't actually get our food until after the place closed at 7! I was amazed to see customer after customer drive in past closing and unfortunately having to be shooed away. Green Chile Burger, 1/4 oz ($6.29) - This burger starts with a buttered and toasted bun, spread with just a bit of mustard on the bottom, followed by shredded iceberg lettuce, pickles, sliced onion and tomato. Then comes a burger patty cooked smash-ish style - flattened with some nicely caramelized and crisp edges, but not as lacy as I would typically expect. The burger is cooked thoroughly until a bit dry in the center. I thought this burger would be absolutely doused in hatch chile, but it turns out they just spoon a bit on top of the center of the patty. It's slightly spicy and imparts decent flavor, but not as flavorful as I typically associate with green hatch. The chile unfortunately is completely drained and doesn't contribute much moisture, making the burger sadly on the dry side. The dab of mustard on the bottom does not do enough to make up for the overcooked patty. (3/5) Fries, Large ($2.79) - These are the typical commercial crinkle cut fries, fried until nice and crisp on the exterior and leaving a fluffy interior. Not much else to say. Fry sauce can be asked for and it's the standard commercial sauce, which works great as the fries aren't heavily salted. (4/5) Buenos Nachos ($6.29) - Interesting construction, with smashed tortilla chips on the bottom, chili and nacho cheese sauce smothering the smashed chips, an additional layer of whole chips above that, followed by a top layer of lettuce, sour cream, tomatoes, and onions. It's a pretty simple dish that works well together. The chili includes beans, but honestly isn't that flavorful though. (3/5) Burrito ($3.89) - I had no idea what to expect when I ordered this. It's basically a cheap frozen burrito that is deep fried. The meat puree inside is almost indistinguishable from textured protein, mixed with beans in a very salty and fatty mixture. The exterior is fried well to a crisp, without any leakage of the filling. (2/5) A lot of the 3 star ratings I give are because of major technical issues in the food. I can say that Burger Boy Drive In isn't really in that category. Instead, my rating is mostly due to food preferences. Hopefully my thoughts don't dissuade anyone from visited. Almost everyone seems to enjoy it, as the restaurant was pretty packed every time I drove past it. Bathrooms - I'm not sure there was one that was accessible for patrons. Maybe behind the building? read more

Kind workers and good food. Easy because they bring it out to your car. Would recommend.

Stopped by on way through town. The place was super busy and service was extremely slow. I wish they'd hire more staff. You sit in your car and they walk over and take your order, then bring it out to you, then take your card inside and run it. It's just a very slow process. The staff were friendly though. The food was great. We all got the green chile burgers and fries. Burgers and ingredients tasted fresh, burgers were juicy. Plenty of green chile. I'd go back if I had nowhere else to be, bc it takes so long. read more

I am here once a week since I discovered their BBQ sandwich. The meat is piled on with an amazing sauce on Texas toast which is to my liking. The gals waiting on the vehicles are always friendly. It is a busy place for dinner so be kind to their servers. They are always hustling m. read more

Always great food from an old school drive in. Service is good huge menu something for everyone. Always a go to when in Cortez

We chose this place because we did not want just a regular fast food joint. The place was packed so we thought that was a good sign, now we know the real reason for the business...make sure you are not in a hurry! Very slow but service but with a smile. Food wasn't much better than any other fast food restaurant in my opinion. read more

There's something to say as all the classic drive-up restaurants of yesteryear slowly disappear, replaced with instant-gratification drive-thru - AI replacing machines in the cog - franchises that have no element of community or coming together. Burger Boy has managed to survive and seems to still be thriving in this town. When we pulled up and parked, I didn't see any dine-in or picnic table seating; this is truly still a relax and eat in your car establishment. A young server gal came to our window, took our order. She was friendly with a smile. I got the Shroomster and an order of onion rings, which were both very good. The burger was seasoned and cooked perfect, and the sauteed mushrooms and cheese were really good (sorry they're not visible in my pictures!). The onion rings were big and tasty. The fried breading was medium thickness and flavorful. They crunched down nicely, too. My parents loved their juicy burgers - happy tummies, happy vacations! Highly recommend! read more

The Four Corners marathon brought me to Cortez, CO. So, my first day there, I venture out looking for something good and quick to devour. During my slow drive by, I spotted Burger Boy! The name itself was intriguing. Now trust, I do not eat burgers from just anywhere. But I had a feeling this was going to be one to rave about and it was! I pulled my car, and then a young lady with bright eyes and a friendly smile took my order. I got the Green Chile quarter pounder with fries! A few minutes later I was sinking my teeth into one of the most tastiest burgers I've had in a while. I'm definitely going back before I head back home. read more

A good old fashioned hamburger joint with a large menu. It has "car hops" That come and take your order and bring your food to your car. I had a bacon cheeseburger that was delicious. My wife had a small regular hamburger that was large enough for her. A different experience that brought back memories of my childhood. We would return. read more

One of the best bacon, green chile & cheeseburger ever! Saw the place packed with vehicles passing thru on our way to Durango. Made plans to stop on our way back thru. My husband had the quarter pounder cheeseburger, fries, & strawberry shake. He also said his was delish. No inside seating. We had our 5th wheel in tow, so we couldn't utilize the car hop. Sat at a booth under the patio area and received prompt friendly service. Highly recommend! read more

FOOD - Green Chile Burger: cheeseburger with green Chile, lettuce and tomatoes. The burger was decent. It was a little on the small side, which is perfect for me but not for my husband. 3.5/5 - Tater Tots: warm and crunchy on the outside. 4/5 SERVICE: The young lady who took my order was friendly. Service was a little slow even though there were only 2 other cars there. While I was waiting for my food, the lot filled up. I came at a good time. 3.5/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: I would come back to try other items. read more

The food and the service is excellent. I highly recommend the mushroom and Swiss burger with the tater tots. And their shakes are really good too. read more

I'd give this place a solid 3 stars. It wasn't great, but wasn't terrible. Pros: - The burgers we tried were tasty. We ordered 2 bacon cheeseburgers and a green chile burger. - Caramel milkshake had good flavor. Cons: - there was a hair we found in the burger (after taking the bite). - Jalepeno bites weren't that good. - Tater tots were a little too crunchy - Bacon was over cooked and overly crispy Overall, it wasn't the worst burger joint I'd ever been to, but I wouldn't be eager to return if in town again. Just a heads up, they do charge a convenience fee if you pay with card. read more

Service was extremely slow. Arrived at 5:30 on a Monday and it took almost an hour to get food and all the stalls weren't even full. Hamburger was sub par, my sweet potato fries were not good, my husband said his food was fine nothing special. Cute little place but only eat here if you have a long time to wait for food. My husband did say his milkshake was super yummy (peanut butter chocolate) read more

Passing through town on the way to Mesa Verde and stopped in for a quick lunch. It's like an old time drive-in. They come out to your car to take your order. Then bring it on a tray that fits in the car window. Service was prompt. We ordered two cheeseburgers, one with green chili. Also two fries and two drinks. The fries were good, they came out hot. The cheeseburger was excellent but the star of lunch was the green chili cheeseburger. Oh mama, was it good. I ate it before I could get a picture. Fellow Yelpers got it covered though. Highly recommend this establishment. read more

I can see what everyone is raving about. Just driving thru and was hungry and the place looked so quaint just had to stop. I see why everyone raves about the green chili cheeseburgers and their chocolate malt didn't disappoint either. I can tell the ranch is homemade and as such it was delicious as well. read more

Family owned, locals favorite- we recommend enjoying the food here. Our favorite: chocolate milk shakes. The smaller size is plenty but there are two sizes. Burgers, fries, shakes, and more. Easy parking. The servers come to you and the menu is hanging in front. read more

I think this place is a favorite for locals. Personally it was just ok. It's a very cool concept to have them come outside and take your order. The waitresses were very friendly and the chocolate malt was really good. The burger and tots were just a burger and tots. Nothing exceptional about them at all. But it was good enough to get my burger fix read more

We have been coming to Burger Boy for many years. Up until recently, we have really enjoyed our experience. Lately though we have noticed a change for the worse. Staff seems poorly trained, and the turnover rate seems higher. Seems like they can't get out of their own way. I've decided to stop coming here. And, as previously stated, we've come here for many years. The food is great, but customer service has gone off a cliff! Sorry Burger Boy, you've become a huge disappointment. read more

This was a great drive in when we were in Cortez! One of those great local establishment that's been here for decades! Food was great and the carhop was a very personable server! If you ever get to Cortez Arizona make sure and stop here for a meal! read more

We are staying in Cortez for vacation and are pretty disappointed overall with food choices but so far Burger Boys has been the best place. Our kids were happy to have good food! There's tons of parking all around the restaurant. They come to your car for you to order the food. We waited a little bit for our food but it wasn't too long. The cheeseburgers were excellent, my kids were especially big fans! I wanted to try the green chili burger but was worried it would be to spicy since I haven't had it before. The lady who took our order was really nice and put it on the side for me. I ended up really liking it although it was slightly spicy for me. The sweet potato fries are really good and crispy! This is a great place for a low cost, quick and delicious meal. read more

Before heading to William's AZ we stopped here for lunch after our visit to Mesa Verde NP. What a great choice. Wife had the small green chile cheeseburger with small order of onion rings. I had a large hamburger with small tots. Delicious. I should've gotten the half pound burger. A real throwback to a time when burger joints like this were widespread throughout the country. If you are ever in Cortez, make sure to have a meal here. Recommend and would return. read more

This was my first time here in the city of Cortez. Stopped here because there was a lot of traffic outside of the restaurant and now I see why. The staff was super courteous and took my order very quickly. The setup is like an old school Sonic's drive in. Once the food arrived, all I can say is that it was simply amazing. Fresh local grown beef patties and excellent onion rings! Will definitely go again before I leave town!!! read more

Burger Boy Drive In - Old fashioned fun! - Burgers Near Me - Cortez, Colorado

I've now eaten here twice (July 2020 and October 2020) when passing through from Telluride to Phoenix. The second time was just as good as the first, and the service was speedy despite how busy they were. The first visit I had the green chili burger. It's messy (but SO yum) so I don't suggest trying to eat it on the road. It's best enjoyed stationary in your car. This most recent time I got the mushroom burger. It's was perfect! We shared tater tots which are crispy on the outside and soft/steamy on the inside. We also shared a large chocolate shake. Mistake! Get your own. They're delicious. Definitely recommend stopping here if passing through Cortez. read more

Disappointed going to Burger Boy. We ordered the shroomburger, jalapeño burger, fries, onion rings, 2 strawberry shakes and 2 chocolate shakes. Shroomburger was small and not very much onion rings. We got cheese on our shroomburger and jalapeño burger and they don't tell you it costs extra to add cheese. It's 30 cents each. They charged us 40 cents for extra flavor twice I'm assuming for the strawberry shakes. It's on the menu for the .40 for extra flavor, but wasn't sure what it is for. They only have 3 flavors for shakes vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. We also ordered fries and they weren't crispy. It should have been cooked a little bit longer. There was a long wait for our food. I was expecting it to be hot and fresh, but it wasn't. The burgers were ok. The only thing I liked were the shakes. They also charge you a fee if you are using a credit card. read more

Really delicious food! A perfect, greasy, big, savory, classic cheeseburger. I skipped fries and ordered some perfectly fried onion rings. Downed it with a really cold orange soda. Sat outside (though most eat in the car- we had been driving a lot that day) in a small booth in the sun. A fantastic meal that made me feel like a kid again. Also, super cheap for the sizes. 5/5 read more

Burger Boy Drive In - Small Orange Crush, Small Onion Rings, 1/4lb cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Cortez, Colorado

If you're nearby visiting Mesa Verde NP, this is the place to stop by! This place is a little picture of some nostalgia and local staple. You park, they come up to you, they take your order, and they bring the food to you. Old school version of a car hop. I highly recommend the green chili cheese burger-- but I went for the jalapeño since it was bigger and then added on green chilis, so a best of both worlds. Service was also super friendly. Get yourself a shake too while you're at it! read more

First time being in Colorado, we had just drove by to run some errands but my boyfriend had already been here before. The burgers are delicious, so are their floats. We ate in the car since there's no dine in but I don't mind it's a great fast food place. If you are not a fan of mustard I recommend you tell them because all their burgers come with it. Mine had a little too much mustard on it might ask for light mustard next time if I'm around that area, but it was still good. I definitely recommend. read more
