Inglewood Drive In - Behold the Bonfire Burger. - Fast Food Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

I have very specific French fry tastes. Everyone kept telling me I had to try the burgers here but no one prepared me for the fries! Y U M. Crinkle cut, piping hot and perfectly crispy (not overly). The burgers are very simple and yet they implanted on my brain and taste buds. It's like the quintessential "American backyard burger" come to life. Big, pillowy bun with zippy sauce and crisp lettuce. The burger has that flame char flavour and a thick piece of bacon juxtaposes soft tangy cheese. The interior is old-school, and I for one am thrilled it's been left as is. Parking lot on site. Others in my party were quite pleased with their milkshake and Dole Whip. Can already taste a next time! read more

I have been going to this Inglewood Drive In since the 60's,70's,80's,90's,2000s. What shall I say this burger joint has been here awhile. Across the bridge is the Calgary Zoo, and 9th Avenue shopping. This is one of the oldest community here when Calgary was called Fort Calgary lots of history. They have cleaned up the area to become a very trendy community. Use to be very run down with a very high population of homeless. It's all cleaned up now. Tore down old buildings. Replaced them with new and refurbished ones that were getting run down. The Inglewood burger joint hasn't changed to much over the years, it's no longer a drive thru not sure when that changed. It's very small from the parking lot to the inside seating area. The outside has been spruced up from what I can remember. We had a couple of burgers a mushroom, a deluxe with onion ring and a 2 bumble berry milkshakes to go. This wonderful friendly lady delivered our order where we were waiting. Deluxe burger came with lettuce, tomatoes,onions,bacon and cheese with this yummy sauce. The burger was huge. I could barely finish it. The burger bun home made! Not the store bought junk! Patty was juicy the onion ring just as I remember as a kid! The burgers have changed for the better. Everything on the burger was well balanced and the fresh bun held together very well. -Will definitely be returning!! -Very clean and taken care of inside considering the age of the building. -Staff very friendly -Parking lot can fit 5 vehicles. read more

Classic burger joint, great food and selection. They offer all the classics plus malts, floats, and great shakes. Although the menu looks complicated , it's simple. Every burger style has the option of single, double, or combo. Fries are really good but you can also get rings or poutine. I had the Singlewood combo, burger was classic with ketchup, mustard, pickles, mayo, lettuce, tomato, bacon and cheese. With a small pop and fries it's a big meal and reasonably priced. There is no dine-in service but you can order online in advance or at the window. Since it was -25C I ordered online from the parking lot, ready in 5 minutes. I think this could be my new go-to burger joint. I look forward to sitting on one of the picnic tables in the Calgary summer heat, enjoying a float and a burger. Today the car will do. read more

It's an OK place. Get the double patty because I had a single burger and the patty is very thin so you are eating mostly a mouthful of bun. If I had known! Guy next to me knew to order the double patty. . Fries are good and prices for combos are cheap. Nice windows. Some on-site parking. read more

This place is amazing the food is great, The Service is great and the location is in a great spot if your looking for a fun day around Calgary. The burger's here are amazing, cooked to perfection and the fries are so good, The crinkle cut fries are different from your local fast food joint. I wouldn't call this place a fast food joint because its different and not fake tasting. I would highly recommend this place if your looking for a unique place for food. read more

Hidden little gem. Great food and quick service. Just really short on parking. Loved the Dole whip offerings.

Decent fast food, good prices, cold beverages. Can't complain. Could use improvement though, a bit underwhelming. read more

It was great until today. We ordered two classic burgers combo. The burgers were so sloppy it was reminiscent of McDonalds. They used to have a normal amount of sauce, crisp lettuce, and buns that were not soggy. The fries were soggy. The bag broke on the way home, thanks for that. They used to put it in a box. We value our money , our time, and our food. Clearly this is not important anymore. Wanted to call the establishment to speak to a manager and there is only a voice mail telling you to order online. Very disappointed. read more

We like to try different burger joints, and the menu at this one was just too intriguing to pass up. Long story short, we're glad we stopped by. I had their mushroom Swiss burger, with well-seasoned crinkle-cut fries that didn't need any ketchup, plus a milkshake that oozed chocolatey goodness to the very last slurp. read more

The boys and I decided to stop here for lunch on Heritage Day. It was a nice cloudy day and there was a bit of a line-up to place your order, but the friendly staff worked efficiently to ensure that the food was coming out at a steady pace(they call out your order by your receipt number and you go to the pickup window). I ordered the Mushroom Swiss combo(mayo, mushrooms, gravy, onion rings, Swiss cheese) with a chai milkshake, while our son ordered the Hoedown combo (BBQ sauce, bacon, pickles, onions, and cheese) with Shirley Temple shake, and hubby ordered the 100 Million Angels Singing (ketchup, mayo, lettuce, tomato, bacon, bacon bits and cheese) with spicy mango shake. We were pleasantly surprised to receive a generous serving of crinkle cut, well-seasoned fries and huge burger patties(with soft burger buns). My mushroom Swiss burger was so juicy that the juice was running down my hands! However, I wish that the burger patties had been seared(or had the classic grill marks) and that they used fresh mushrooms(instead of canned). The milkshake flavours are subtle but not overpowering, and they were nice and thick. We sat contentedly at one of the picnic tables and enjoyed our little feast. We will definitely be back! read more

So far this is the best burger I have had in Calgary and I have eaten more than burgers than Jughead! You need to check this one out when in inglewood or being dragged to the zoo by your family. It makes the whole trip worth while! read more

came here for the pineapple dole whip!! super yummy and for the price, is so worth it (compared to stampede's prices). The food is very yummy and filling. The poutine is a tad bit salty due to the amount of gravy, however it wasn't too bad. The workers are very nice as well! read more

Love their food but not happy that I can no longer order online thru their website. Not sure what happened but the online ordering process was just so slick and saved time waiting for my order. read more

Purposefully made dinner reservations for an earlier time so I could try Inglewood Drive Inn's take on Dole Whip (only $1 too!) Well, $1.57 to be exact, for a Large cone!! Unbelievable value. Didn't expect too much due to the price tag but I would say it trumps Stampede's take on dole whip by far and even the pineapple ice cream at popular ice cream places in Calgary as well! Definitely comparable to Disneyland! I hope they have it year round and not just in the summer. I will definitely return for more!! read more

Inglewood Drive In - L dole soft serve ($1.59) - Fast Food Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

The wait time was really long, I stood in line for about 30-35 minutes but after I ordered service was quick. The burger is twice the size compared to fast food chains and tastes more homemade. If you have the time or it's a slower day, definitely better than going to another burger place read more

There's something romantic about the setting of the Inglewood Drive Inn on 12th, perhaps it is the view of a sweet little steel bridge that leads you to the zoo across the river? Or perhaps the nostalgic feeling of the building itself, like an ice cream shop out of a 50s movie. There is nothing romantic about the interior of this place however, it is like a Chinese restaurant in a very small prairie town gone bad; Paint peeling off the walls, tacky decor and a very dirty floor. With some love and a new paint job I am sure the owners could bring back some of it's charm and character, but for now it remains depressing and void of ambiance. The menu features breakfast and lunch; there are omelettes, pancakes, wonton soup, hot and cold sandwiches, chicken wraps and burgers. The burgers range from 2.50 to 6 dollars depending on how many patties you want, but are made of processed meat. The burger lives up to its 2.50 price tag, it didn't blow me away and is what I expected for $2 and odd change but I don't really think that says much about the food quality in this joint. The only redeeming factor I see about the Inglewood Drive Inn is its potential and the sliding window that acts as a takeout order option outside. read more

Riveting, to my standards even, which is a very incredolus feet. my experience with this place is surely one t o september! i come in and they have an incredulsa staff wiating to serve my appetiet, so they puul out the napkin and butter me up in suprise, as i sit and greet my waitress, very beautiful and i knew we ere density. i waited and wiated as fast as i could. toomuch garlice bread later, i hear the sizzling, stomping, and sloshinng of the store boards and frying pans bashing about to serve my quivering lips of graceful touch. igot the inglewood drive in special, the inglewood drive on burger. they slammed my table on to the plate nad said "stuff yo mouth pie up lol" lol in deed as i gobble the whole thing up to only find a enlarged baby goose in middle, and for a daring soldier like me who just finished his/their journey to war in lukemia, i wavs raving and kicking and sqeualing with delight and gubgolled the whols ehte thws fna jg ajskdmflda (ps very shit) read more

Here currently. To start off this place is a small fast food place. There are no more than 10 tables and the outside is pretty sketchy. This is more of a 2.5/5 You wouldn't see the place unless you were really looking. I'm pretty sure a lot of people pass by. Though I must say that it's average at best. The service is quick and friendly but the food that I did try was basic. I had the fries and cherry milkshake. The fries were salty and my favourite; crinkle cut. The shake was THICK. It reminded me of peters drive in, like REALLY SIMILAR. For $6.99 you get a basket of fries and I SWEAR with the tasty THICK milkshake and Buckets of fries, I left heavy. I must say that the onion rings were 99%. They were crispy and yummy. The service was amazing. They brought the food over to us and I must say that it was not needed but greatly appreciated. MY ONE COMPLAINT is the machine ride elephant. At least 4 kids went on and it was the most annoying thing ever. If your in the area sure but never drive more than 10 minutes for this read more

I've driven and walked past this place a hundred times and never given it two thoughts. However today my wife and 2 kids and I decided to give it a go. The burgers are great! Come in double or single fashion, and the fries are old school crinkle cut. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the buns were absolutely stellar. This place is a hidden gem, give it a try you won't be sorry. read more

Inglewood Drive In - Fast Food Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Ok lets get this straight first, this is a small hole in the wall diner that serves burgers, hot dogs and ice cream. Like a little greasy diner from the 50's. Its in Inglewood So if you go there expecting beautiful vistas while you delicately nibbling on monk fish in a seaweed wrap, you will be disapointed If you however plan on messing your face hole up with a chili cheese dog, onion rings and a maple walnut milkshake on a sunny park bench you will be super pumped on what the inglewood drive in has to offer. I have been pleased multiple times there read more

Usually people put reviews down when something was bad. I am writing this because this place is continuously been amazing. The food is fresh, tasty and gorgeous. It looks like a photograph of the perfect burger and it tastes like somebody just BBQed a great fresh burger for you. The fries are never stale and the experience is always amazing. read more

Inglewood Drive In - Inglewood w Fries - Fast Food Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Everything you're looking for in a greasy spoon. It's very tiny, but the food packs a wallop. Booth seating inside, and a couple picnic tables outside. They've recently installed digital menu boards with great descriptions of their burger and hot dog toppers. Primarily serving burgers and hot dogs (of which they have a huge selection), they also have fish and chicken variations. I got the fish and chips. The batter was flaky and the cut of fish was thick. The chips were crisp. Frozen crinkle cut, but who cares when they are cooked and seasoned right. Husband and son got burgers. 100% angus beef, in shop made patties. Gorgeous looking and delicious tasting. The veggie toppers were fresh and vibrant. We wolfed everything before I even thought to take pictures. Their shakes are otherworldly!! We didn't even bother with dessert, that's how good they are. But if you're just looking for a treat, they have soft serve ice cream, and a variety of in store made treats on a stick. I highly recommend making this your stop before heading to the zoo. Much much more bang for your buck. read more

I love this restaurant because the burgers are huge and I am very happy with the gluten free option for the hamburgers so far so good to see the place its for me and other people who have celiac issues read more

The first two times I went here with Rob, I didn't like it one bit! I could see their "drive-in diner appeal", but once when I ordered a hotdog there, specifying no relish, it came with all the toppings anyway and made me feel queasy :( This kind of thing upsets me since I am sensitive to green foods and seldom give any place [that ruined my order] a second chance. However, I am happy to report that Inglewood Drive Inn has been bought under new management, renovated and cleaned up (I agree with Dinah G. on the ambiance thing). Their menu has changed slightly for the better, too. Now I actually enjoy it a bit more when Rob takes me there, and he can pig out as well. Yay! P.S. I remember a child's elephant ride being installed there, so bring some coins if you're bringing kids with you. read more

I hadn't been there since last year, when I promised I wouldn't go back because it seemed over priced, burgers weren't great and milkshakes tasted really artificially flavored... After seeing renovations done to this spot in Inglewood, we decided to give it a try again... burgers were super tasty and shakes too! the place looks very clean and certainly more inviting, and staff is very friendly and helpful. If you don't want to be inside, the park is right behind it, good option to walk by the river while you eat a yummy Bonfire burger, my favorite! Yes, I am a fan now and will go back there whenever I have the chance! read more

I first are here in 1996 or so after crashing at a fellow soldier's house following a course party; we had just graduated a driver's course. I consequently don't remember much about that meal other than one of the girls that drove me home remained unconscious for the entire meal... My visit today is much more firmly etched in memory, and it seems my experience was the same as Kyle M's and some of the others. The interior was clean, though a bit cramped; people were trying to maneuver around some decoration in the middle of the floor that really seemed to be wasting space. The service was only okay; I had to repeat myself a bunch and they seemed distracted, perhaps by the loud 80s music coming from the speakers. Not a complaint; I'm as big a fan of "Stuck In The Middle With You" as anyone. The food was unremarkable. Crinkle-cut fries, as others have noted, were smothered in seasoning salt, and, I suspect, store-bought frozen. The hamburger was skimpy on a plain white-bun just a little too big. Soda was served in a cup without ice. (It was not hot today, in fact, it was raining, so I doubt there was a malfunction in the refrigeration equipment...) For a comparable price I could have probably gone to A&W and had something much tastier. Well meaning and inoffensive, but could have been much better. read more

Well, it certainly ain't no DQ. I'd say that's a compliment. Not that there's anything bad about DQ, but the fact that I can get a Brain Freeze that's as thick as any Blizzard, yet support a local shop is pretty awesome-tastic in my books. The interior of the Drive Inn isn't much to shake a stick at. It's got a few fast food-esque booths lining the walls and a kid's elephant ride in the middle of the floor. But it's clean, the service is friendly and it was quick enough. My Crispy Crunch Brain Freeze was plentiful. A small was just over $5 (if I recall correctly) once the tax was all added in. It was more than enough to fill me up, but then again, ice cream tends to fill me up pretty quickly. They've got some burgers and things on the grill. Not sure what those would be like, but I imagine they'd do for a quick meal on the go. read more

Awesome burgers at a good price great location and a quaint little shop. Can be a little busy but good to go orders as well

First the good. Quite pleasant inside, appears to have been painted cleaned and updated from the first set of reviews here on yelp. Service was quick, and friendly, and the kid's elephant ride in the middle of the room is a hoot. Food wise though, this place was only 1 for 3 today at lunch, and sadly the only thing that wasn't average or worse was the ice cold Coke. Crinkle cut fries were diner standards, if I was back again I'd probably ask for them extra crispy. I would definitely also ask them to back off the ridiculous dousing of seasoning salt. This addition completely overpowered the fries (and everything else) and left my fingers a powdery orange mess. The burger similarly was just not quite good enough to be any better than average. The premade patty was thin, bland, and tasteless, and while the toppings on the bacon cheese burger where nice (soft bun, fresh onions, great pickle) this isn't enough to carry the meal. The menu does offer more (dogs, chicken burgers, shakes & onion rings), and that picture of the loaded chili fries above looks great so I'm sure I'll be back to give them another chance, I just doubt it will be any time soon. read more

This might be the blandest burger I've ever had..... which is too bad because i love diner style food. I had high hopes for this place. They were also out of the dole whip so the entire experience was disappointing haha. read more

I was having a really really bad day so it was suggested I go try the Inglewood Drive In and get one of their milkshakes for lunch. The restaurant had blocked parking due to a garbage truck that was sitting there through my entire lunch, so I had to park down the street at the park and walk back. That was not a bad thing considering the weather, but I can see it being troublesome in the winter. I ordered a hoedown combo and the guy at the till accidentally almost charged me for two burgers, which is okay but his English wasn't very good and he should probably learn the menu a little bit better. I asked a couple of questions about the food and he had to go to the back to answer and some of the questions were never answered very clearly due to language issues. Luckily whomever was cooking did better. The milkshake was the special of the day and was nicely thick and flavourful. I don't remember what the flavour was at this point, but I would go back just to try another one. The burger was great, with enough sauce and fresh toppings to make it filling. The patty was juicy and lightly seasoned and the fries were freshly cooked, really good with the drips of barbeque sauce. I'll go back to try more but the kid on the till needs to slow down a little and learn more about the menu. read more

The kids and I hit this place in one of the last weekends of summer and I was glad we did. Great burgers, shakes and crinkle cut fries. The double Inglewood burgers passed the test. I got a chicken strip basket for the kids to share and was surprised how good the chicken strips were. It could use a little more outdoor seating and parking but that might be out of their hands at this location. We parked a couple blocks east in front of a church where there was 2hr parking at the curb. Made for a nice walk in a beautiful area of the city. And were lucky enough to arrive as a group was leaving one of the two outdoor tables. read more
