Fast, friendly service. You can go inside for a great, old-fashioned diner experience, or order from your vehicle while the carhops bring your food. I love the Chicken Strip Bagel, Double Decker burger and the cheese snacks (basically a quesadilla). Also great is the Glamour Burger, which comes with fries, but I suggest you ask for the frozen fries with fish sauce (~ tartar sauce). This is a family-owned business for many, many years and I'm so glad it's always remained consistent over the years. I only wish they were open on Sundays. read more

I ate there Aug 8. we ordered 3 fish Berger and large fry. T total was $29.00 cost. Thete was so much sauce we had to scrape it off to eat it. The fries were so greasy had to throw them away. There use to be lots of cars. 2 other people there they must have had bad quality also. read more

Super delicious! Burgers can be a tad small, but a normal size. We will be back again for sure

They screwed up my order very very incompetent staff I asked for no sauce in my chicken cheese snack and they loaded both of them... the drive in has gone down immensely the staff sat there and looked at us for 10 minutes playing on her phone just watchin us read more

Malad Drive In - Chicken cheese snack that I specifically asked for no red sauce - Sandwiches Near Me - Malad City, Idaho

That was a fantastic burger! We will stop by in the way to Lava Hot Springs next time for sure :)

Great burger, great service, great milkshake. 10/10 recommend! If you're driving through town, definitely stop by for lunch

Waited 30 minutes for a shake that cost $8 with only two other vehicles in the parking lot.

If you're passing through Malad and hungry, you're not going to beat Malad Drive In. If you park on the East side they will give you carside service, park on the West and you can eat inside. They've got a pretty interesting menu. Lots of burgers, sandwiches, and then more odd things like tacos and pizza rolls (both of which my wife ordered and enjoyed). I went with the buddy burger, gems, and an Iron Port to drink. If you haven't tried Iron Port and like soda, try it. It's a Utah/Idaho thing and it's great. Kind of like Root Beer but with better spices and flavor. I order it anytime I can find it. The buddy burger was good, nothing too fancy, but solid. The gems and fry sauce were great as well. I've had a few shakes here as well and always enjoyed them. If you're in the area and need something to eat, this is your best bet. read more

Service was the only highlight of this visit! But that doesn't outweigh being charged $44 for three chicken strip dinners overcooked! overcooked chicken strips, overcooked fries, so everything we had was terrible. read more

We were here Oct 14, 23 in the evening.. waited over an hour for our food was close to cold our tater tots were well over done. One of your teen ages licked her fingers and then split some fries between orders (disgusting). There was alot of goofing off. You need some adult supervision. We're from Malad but probably won't be back. read more

Good food. We skipped the Burger King that's right off the Malad exit and drove 1 mile to this little drive up dinner and didn't regret it. Cute place to eat. A car hop will come to your car to take your order and bring you your food or you can go inside and eat. They do have a drive thru as well. read more

Thought it would be fun to stop in Malad for something to eat. The wife and kids wanted hamburgers. We decided to also get shakes, fries and onion rings. Everything was fresh, hot and delicious. I'm sure we'll stop here again soon. read more

Awesome food and service!! The banana split was amazing and next time I'm driving through I'll definitely be back!

As a regular at the Drive Inn, I have to say this place is more than a great place to eat. To little Malad, and many people with ties back to Malad, the Drive Inn is iconic in many ways. Their food is more than great. With car hop service or inside dining, you'll get a feel for the "good old days." Whether it is a rich nostalgia from the popular "hang out" spot from the high school days or the enjoyable old style decor, you'll love it here. I always order a grilled double deck (with everything) and a large English chip. Always as for the "fish sauce." It's great for everything. read more

I had got a gift card for my birthday here and when I had decided to go there I was greeted with a 10 min wait for the waitress and 1 hour long wait for my food. I also payed 12$ for my food and 4$ for my sides and was not pleased with my food as well read more

Best burgers fries and shakes. Good salads. Highly recommend a visit. The service was outstanding.

So satisfied with the service the time of ordering and getting our food! Exactly what I wanted a burger to taste like 10/10 would come again

The burgers are just remade nothing special. Dang it. We had high hops. Their peanut utter shake was good. Just really melty. The service was wonderful but we won't eat there again read more

This place is awesome! We were driving through on a road trip and were delighted to find this little burger shop. Classic American food at its finest. Had the fresh Raspberry shake. Would definitely recommend it! read more

Good food and great service - the sweet woman who helped us could recite every shake flavor they have, and there's a lot.

A Malad classic. Pretty darn good food. The fresh fruit shakes are wonderful, as are the fresh limes. ALWAYS ask specifically for "frozen fries"-- they are much better than the reg fries. Delicious onion rings, and the glamour burger's not half bad either. read more

Fair burger and shakes but took too long for a grill place. They seem to be serving the cars outside faster. Crowded with locals so that says something. read more

I love the Malad Drive-In! My favorite is the fish burger with cheese, sauce, and pickles. The burgers are great too. To this day I still call a quesadilla, a cheese snack as named at the Drive In. They are delicious. And you can't go wrong with the shakes. read more

I love fish and chips and I'll eat anywhere it's sold. This is just a little drive in, in a little town in Idaho, so don't expect too much. One thing that's weird though, they do not have malt vinegar. They will look at you like you're some kind of weirdo if you ask for it. read more

I hate to give a little local drive in a bad rating because the girl that served us was really nice but the fish sandwich I ordered was just bread with a piece of fried fish and miracle whip (she called it special sauce). No lettuce or tomato...it was gross! read more

Classic American drive-in. This is what the movie directors are trying to emulate. My favorites? I eat here often and change things up pretty much everytime. The chicken quesadilla is soooo good, but the grilled double decker with ham and bacon is a burger lover's dream. And the grilled steak sandwich is awesome too! And the chicken deluxe! Oh, and the shakes, OMG the shakes! The root beer freeze is my favorite. Yeah, this place is incredible! BTW, they also have tacos, that's right tacos, and they're delicious. read more

Great little place to eat in my hometown !!! Can't go to Malad without eating at the drive inn ! I love the fries with fish sauce (better than fry sauce) and Lynn's homemade blue cheese dressing is the BOMB!! read more

Flame broiled burgers....large and flat patties. Sesame bun. Thick raspberry shake. Friendly staff. We stopped by on our way to Colorado. Ate at the picnic table with our dog. Fresh cut McDonald's sized fries, very good. And for the price...it was a great Americana experience. Would definitely stop again. read more

If you like grease and poor quality meat, you'll love this place. I will say this, if you want a good shake, they do well at that.
