Old school drive up hotdog and hamburger joint. I was in the area for business and decided to drop in after seeing the reviews. You pull up and it's curbside service. They literally come up to your car, take your order, and bring your food back. I loved the old school feel. It took no time for my food to arrive-about 7 minutes. I got a burger, onion rings, and a hotdog all the way. The onion rings were fresh, hot, and had the perfect amount of salt. The burger was well seasoned, had that crisp, grilled taste. The hotdog was good as well-chili was perfect. It was such a nostalgic feel and definitely a must visit for the experience. read more

We were visiting from Arizona. What a fun iconic place and food experience. Friendly staff and good food. Our group had chili dogs snd corn dogs which were so tasty. Fries weren't bad either. So much fun with the carhops and eating in your car .... Just needed a drive-in movie to complete my 50's memory read more

Just what a drive in should be, fast, friendly, cheap, and delicious. Had a chicken sandwich, corn dog, hot dog, onion rings, strawberry shake, and chocolate shake. The chocolate shake was the star, but everything was yummy. The ladies serving everyone work their butts off going car to car, tip well! read more

I gave two stars instead of 1 because of the beautiful woman that initially came to out car. She was sweet, kind and patient!! We ordered 3 sandwiches. One being a hotdog that we asked to have cut in half for sharing. They literally cut the dog into two, directly down the center. I had to split the hot with my fingers! They missed my onions. My friends toasted ham, cheese and egg was so salty (that's not good ham for cooking) ... We asked for nothing else om the sandwich. We had to pick off the lettuce and tomato. My friend has an allergy to tomatoes. I knew my burger would be better than the rest of the food ... NOPE. Frozen Patty! Salty and Groce. Most of the "food" went to the trash. What a waste!! read more

This is a nice, cheap stop. The service was really quick and the lady who assisted us was really friendly. We got a dude burger, cheeseburger, onion rings, fries & and soda all for $21. Can't beat it for the quality as opposed to what you'd find for the same price as one of the fast food joints nearby. I would do without the fries next time - but that's the only thing I felt weren't great. They weren't bad either, just nothing special. The onion rings are a must have. Beef for the burgers tastes fresh. read more

Great food,fast service,been going to Dude's for many years and I've never been disappointed.

Barely got my car in park and the waitress was there to take my order. Food (enough for five) was out in less than ten minutes. Food tasted great, fresh, obviously fried but not greasy. It will be a regular stop for us! Outside of building and picnic area was immaculate. read more

Best hotdogs ever and the French fries are delicious. Haven't tried their other options on the menu because we could not image any food that could compare to the hotdogs.. I did hear their hamburgers are very delicious too... . . read more

This is always the best place to go! They are quick, and the food is excellent! Their fries, thick crinkle fries and so good! The service is always excellent, and you can get in and out of there pretty quickly. It's a great place to go for lunch. You have plenty of time to order, eat, pay, and leave, within a half hour to 45 minutes. The prices are very fair, and you are always treated like a valuable customer. I highly recommend this restaurant!! read more

Ambiance- drive up to a parking space, no need to get out! The awesome staff comes out to take your order, deliver your food and take your payment. Food- fresh meat! Made to order sandwiches, add extras like onions and other toppers. A huge variety of side dishes. Get the o-rings, you won't regret it. read more

Dude. Dude. Seriously. Immediately regretting not getting a second order of onion rings and a milkshake. We got BLTs and onion rings. You should too. The onion rings are perfect. Crunchy perfection. BLTs were classic and simple but exactly what we wanted. And crunchy bacon! I don't do wiggly bacon so it's always a gamble. Tip your car hop. Bring cash. Get the onion rings. read more

I was a little thrown off by the rules of ordering, but turned to be a decent burger.

$24 for 2 small cheeseburgers and 2 small fries and 2 small drinks is kinda ridiculous, food was mediocre but made a turd, but economy at a all time high of greed so not surprised. Service was good though atleast they have 2 pretty ladies to look at. Overall give it 2.5-3 stars read more

For what it is it's awesome. Some of the best hotdogs around simple but good. Good atmosphere

Great pit stop while driving down South! It's quick service and they come out to your car to order and bring you the food. The onion rings, as all past reviews say, are something to rave About! They no longer serve the apple turnovers. read more

Dude's Drive In - a hand holding a basket of fried onion rings - Fast Food Near Me - Christiansburg, Virginia

Nostalgia is what comes to mind when I think of my experience at Dude's. They have carhops who come right to your vehicle in the parking lot to take your order. The menu is pretty straightforward and simple, plus the prices are rather reasonable. The food is hot and fresh when brought to your car, it simply lacked seasoning. A little salt goes a long way. The waitress brought out the food in a paper sack, which was good. But the drinks were what I had issue with. One was in her hand, which was cool, but the other was kind of snugged up against her chest/tucked in the crook of her arm. This where I think they would benefit from using trays/baskets/drink carriers to transport the food from inside to the cars. Just a suggestion. read more

Great old fashioned drive in. Good food, burgers and Dogs. Quick service. Great atmosphere read more

Not sure what the fuss is about. Maybe things have changed since the price of beef is so high, really high. Everything tasted fine, nothing to write home about. I just got the basic burger not the dude burger so maybe that's where I went wrong. The beef didn't taste much different than McDonald's the fries I can make at home, I guess it was convenient that they walk up to you instead of you driving through the drive-thru. I pass through on the regular, Don't see any reason to stop again. Parking was decent since I'm between lunch and dinner but I can see where it would be a problem. It's popular, not sure why. read more

Popped by with my husband before a drive-in show a few Fridays ago. The Dude burgers are fresh ground beef made to order, I believe. For a quick service restaurant, I thought it was beyond excellent! Friendly and fast service, burgers and fries were stellar. The took cards as well as cash. Will definitely make it back here again. read more

The hot dog was pretty good. The waitress was relatively nice. It was really hot outside, so it was hard to enjoy my food. The benches were kinda dirty, because they had bird poop on them. read more

I used to love this place but the quality has gone down so much. The buns are so soggy and the meat is very pink to the point I was d armed to eat it. The lettuce and tomato were old and mushy. The gator tots were barely cooked and not crispy at all. So bummed! The service is not great. I used to love the food so much!! read more

Loved the nostalgia of Dude's! Kinda stumbled across this place when visiting our son in Blacksburg. So glad we did. Food was good and service was friendly...and I can't resist a good drive in! read more

Great burgers chilli dogs and fries. Friendly staff too Way better than fast food. I eat here often. read more

Tiny burgers with no flavor, generic crinkle cut fries. Dude's is the most overrated and overhyped restaurant in Christiansburg. Seems to be riding on local nostalgia read more

I can see why the locals frequent this place. The burgers and onion rings are tasty. Just a side note the burgers aren't big, but neither are the prices. I'll take fresh made over the chains any day. Our servers were very hospitable and we were served quickly. I would probably pass on the milkshake. If we ever pass through here again we will definitely stop again. read more

Food was amazing! Corn dog was KRISPY and perfect. They even gave my dog a treat!! We got onion rings, and a great hot dog that had chilli and onions and relish !! read more

Got the cheeseburger and tots. I must be missing something here. Very marginal. With drink just under $12.

Best burgers around. Great prices, excellent curb service. We love this place and eat here often. The meat is fresh and good, buns are always fresh. Our go-to place to eat. read more

Great place. Quick service and picnic tables available. Onion rings are good along with everything else we tried.

Cool locals's place. Super inexpensive and you just pull in, service is to your car and certainly no need to wait! Burgers were awesome but the hot dog wasn't stellar. Slaw was tasty may base, tots were "silver dollar" type. For sure will go back! read more

You can't go wrong here. This is a staple in these parts. It's been around forever, so has the staff. The woman waiting on us today has been here for 30 some years. Seriously. If that doesn't tell you all you need to know, read on. As far as hot dogs go, the ones at this place are spot on if you like old school red wieners with homemade beefy chili and soft buns. It's hard for me to order anything else.....except for the Dude Burger. Good grief. WHY anyone would skip this place up for a chain burger joint is beyond me. This is the real deal. Delicious! Also worth trying is anything else on the menu! Lol! All the sides are good too. Crinkle cut fries, tater tots, onion rings, slaw, all good. When you find a place that is curb service only, has been around since the dawn of time, you eat there. Dig in. You're welcome. read more
