I go here often and for past 20 years, but my last time was quite disappointing. The shrimp was horrible and I can't explain it. Their hamburgers and fries are great as well as the coleslaw, matter of fact the coleslaw is so good that I always order a large which I did again but this time it came in a little dipping container and I paid for a large, so I asked the waitress why is this so small and she tried to explain that is the large so I tried to explain multiple times when I order a large it always comes in a bigger white Styrofoam container but she insisted on telling me that it was a large hum I explained again to her and once again she said that is their largest container. So I paid big for a small container. Btw that day the coleslaw was so dry like nothing was mixed in it just cabbage and zero sediment on the bottom of the container so I believe someone forgot to add anything else to it. I won't let this mishap stop me from going there but please get containers correct and add whatever condiment that is used" mayonnaise, buttermilk? In the coleslaw please. read more

Quick, friendly and easy service with classic drive in food. If anything, you won't go wrong with the burger and fries with Goop! Because we are not from the beautiful state of Oregon, this is a treat when we are able to drive in from California. Will always make time if we are in the area! read more

Hubby and I went to Pete's due to their support for those losing food benefits. Hubby ordered the oyster dinner while I ordered chicken fingers. Hubby enjoyed the oysters a lot. Almost ate the entire basket of fries, too. The fries were top notch. My chicken fingers were overly greasy with way too much celery(?) salt not evenly coating the pieces. You'd bite into salty clumps. Both meals came with cole slaw & fries. Love that they support community Service very quick! The place is an old drive in. Harkins back to a time long past. read more

I don't have pictures, I was slippin. I can tell you I did have the elk burger and it was delicious. Cooked right. And the large fries are definitely enough for two people. The fries were like hand cut. They are good. Not really my style. But I did scarff them down. The two ladies working were great. They definitely keep busy. And it is old school car hop. They bring a tray out and set it on the window. It's awesome and nostalgic. Go check this place out. Good stuff!! read more

If your mouth is watering for some comfort food, it's hard to beat Pete's Drive-In. They make a mean crispy chicken sandwich! The breading is super light, bust just crispy enough. I prefer the Cajun. And it's thick and juicy and oh so tender! Add some onions and pepper jack... yum! Fries are great as well! And I heard they are using lard instead of seed oil - fantastic! Way to go Pete's!! read more

Pete's Drive-In - Crispy Cajun Chicken Sandwich Basket with Goop - Burgers Near Me - Roseburg, Oregon

Drive up around the covered patio and workers come out to take your menu. You can sit at picnic tables also if you want. Food and drinks come out quickly. Loads of fries. Really good. Burger was good- I think they might toast the buns? It was good a little dry on the top. Sauces were delicious. Very filling & a huge menu to pick from. We will be back! Burgers were also so good. read more

Staff = 5 stars Food = Philly Cheesesteak = 5 in flavor, but a bit small Fried chicken = 5 all around Fries = 4 (not a fan of the style, but good quality and flavor) Mac & Cheese = 0. Worse than boxed Mac & Cheese Biscuit = 1. Worse than Pillsbury pre-made. Blackberry shake = 5 stars. Chocolate & Peanut butter shake = 5 stars. Was advised that it would take 15 minutes because of the chicken, which was accurate. Like that they changed the oil type. Overall 3.5 Stars.​ read more

The service was so amazing! All the employees were so kind, I believe we got helped by lorelai and she was so helpful. And the food was 10/10, and very affordable. It was also very welcoming and I loved all the art. I will definitely be returning! read more

Best place ever! Got the elk burger, the chilli dog, sprite, as well as the poutine and it was all Amaizing I am pregnant and did unfortunately have to order the elk burger well done :( (I don't like well done meat I like my meat walking) but even with that little doozy it was Amaizing!!! We were coming back from a road trip to SoCal for the holidays back to Albany and decided to stop by the lady that helped us was super sweet and really good at her job! We finished out food and left at around 3:36pm on 10/27/2024 so please give her some praise we were in the white Subaru I wish I had been able to remember her name but over all the place is 10/10 from the ambiance that makes it seem like your at an old fashioned dinner to the neat little car window plate this place is awesome they even have outdoor seating if you don't want to sit in your car! read more

Stumbled across this for lunch on a road trip to Coos Bay. We loved it so much we timed our return specifically around having lunch here on the return trip. The shakes are awesome, the fries are awesome, the burgers and sandwiches are awesome. The poutine fries were awesome. I would trust their sea food offerings if I ate there again (didn't try it this time, but their overall quality gives me confidence). The service was also awesome, and the place is exactly like an old drive-in, complete with music from my childhood (mostly 70s rock, but not too hard). read more

the best french fries i've had anywhere. the bacon cheeseburger was the best i've had in a long long time and is my go to. i think their cherry coke is homemade and it too was very good. and, to top it all off, the service is wonderful. i dont think there is much they can do with the ambiance, but the food is the main thing and just great. read more

I love the fryer with the red hair and glasses. I know my food is in good hands... the shake was really good and the fries were fried to perfection. The fries went really well with the milkshake... read more

The chicken was not good and the food took awhile to come out. There were sketchy people there too!

This place is awesome!!!!! The best soft serve this side of Disneyland!!!! The food is great, the service is great, and the soft serve is amazing!!!!! read more

This place is a gem! We stumbled on this restaurant driving back home from Eugene. We didn't want typical fast food. This gave us exactly what we were looking for - something we could drive in and get that was fresh. I got the chicken sandwich and tater tots with their goop sauce (basically a fry sauce). It was so good. My husband and daughter got the cheeseburger and fries which they enjoyed and the cherry on top was a milkshake - it was perfectly thick and smooth. This will be our regular stop on our travels to Eugene. read more

It's always busy (good sign) and we havent found a good place that sells broasted chicken..fries and side of coleslaw..excellent!Cant wait to try elk burger and/or Buffalo burger..now I know why always so busy!! read more

Dry burger buns. The only flavor to burgers, fries and onion rings was old grease. the fries were all stuck together and no salt. Onion rings came from the bottom of the bag. Bits and pieces tasting like used old grease. The paper in the basket was dripping, literally dripping. For around $40. with tip. Absolutely ridiculous! the order was taken and we were asked to pay. no problem. however, because of credit card payment and no cash on us for tip, had to tip upfront. So meal plus tip before we even tasted our food. We both had stomach issues the rest of the day. Will not be returning nor recommending. read more

Have not been to Pete's in quite some time. We figured we would give a try during COVID and sit in our vehicle as this is a drive old fashioned diner. Pulled in and poof, a young girl at my window and says can I take your order. Great service but dam let me shut my truck off. I said I need a few minutes to look at menu. It's an old fashioned basic menu. I ordered a burger without the bun, I asked for lettuce wrapped. I don't think they get the wrapped part of that. The burger was dry and luckily I asked for Mayo. I'm sure it is fine on a bun so I can't say it's horrible. Wife got some fries and those were just okay. It's not what I remembered from years back. Bit disappointed. read more

Best burger I had in awhile. And great customer service. Staff seemed on top of it as well as training new staff. Great spot to check out. Bring the food right to your window! read more

Decent "old fashioned" burgers. Had to come to town to pick something up and decided to try this place for dinner before the 1.5 hr drive home. Prices are slightly elevated for what you get, but still not as bad as other places. Friendly and fast service. Would go back if in townand wanted a burger, or to try the chicken. read more

The best damn fries in town. Don't get me started on the sauce. One of the few standing original American drive-ins. The place is everything you would Expect from a small town burger spot. Quick, cheap and good. Don't skip this place if you're passing through. You'll be glad that you stopped by. read more

I had searched in Best Shakes in Roseburg. Pete's came up. I read reviews from the best to the worst. Wondered what is wrong with people who like to complain. Amazing. My own experience was well positive! Order a burger, fries and a root beet shake, and my wife the fish sandwich. Service was quick and friendly. the drive-in features car service, but, we chose to use the picnic tables that are available. Food came out quickly, the order was right, and the waitstaff were friendly and helpful (amazing when you consider the amount of walking they must do each day) Most important food was great! Will we back? No doubt!!! read more

Fun to have Old Fashioned Car-Hop[ service. Good burgers but fantastic fries. I have dreams about the fries. Fry sauce was something I don't usually have, and it was good too. I am going back to try the BBQ they just started serving. Biggest complaint is they're too busy. Crew handles it well, but people were unhappy they couldn't park. Made worse, the day I was there, by a woman who took up two car-hop spaces and met someone else who took up two spaces, then they ate at the tables. Manager should have asked them to move their cars since they were just being impolite and costing the business clients. Well worth a hop off the freeway, just 1/4 Mi. West of Exit 124. read more

OK, Pete's gets 2 stars because I can't give 2.5. Stopped in at the suggestion of a coworker with the wife and kids on our way home from Wildlife Safari. It's a little off the beaten path, but not too far or too hard to find. For the previous reviewer who compared Pete's to In-N-Out, have you ever EATEN at an In-N-Out?!? Pete's does not come close. I had the double cheeseburger basket and the wife had the cheeseburger basket. Kids split a hot dog. There is carside service and we opted to sit a a table in front of our vehicle. Waitress took our order and brought the food, no problem. Wife asked for a second side of "goop" (their name for fry sauce) as a fly had decided to commit suicide in hers. The waitress literally walked past our table 6 times, each time mentioning that she needed to remember the goop, before she finally brought it...after we had already finished eating. Another bummer was the lack of a restroom at Pete's, resulting in a hike over to the KFC to take a leak and wash my hands. On the plus side I did get to see the worlds thinnest bathroom door. (See photo) The burgers were OK. Fresh toppings but obviously a frozen patty. Fries were terrible! Greasy, over-browned potato wedges that only reminded me of "carnival fries". Our tab for 2 burger baskets and a kids hot dog came to over $17, which we thought was a little steep for average road food. If given the option again, I would not revisit Pete's, and therefore I can not recommend Pete's Drive-In. read more

Haven't eaten here in a long long time and was pleasantly surprised that it really hadn't changed much. Big Top burger basket was very good. Service was excellent. Fast and friendly. I have never over the years ordered anything but a burger basket and been doing that for 50 years. So I can't tell you if the other food is very good but I love the burgers and fries. Pete's has been closed for a while since a car drove right into the building. It reopened two days ago after some serious repair work. It was a total zoo when we got there. I haven't seen it that busy since I was in high school a very long time ago. I was sure we would be there for a long time before we got service and food. I was really surprised how fast the service was and it was friendly in spite of them being absolutely hammered with customers. Great service and the food was great. Same old greasy wonderful fries and goop and my burger was perfect. I'm glad they are open again so we know where to always get a great burger and fries. read more

The staff is friendly and they always have amazing food. The fries are always awesome and the fry sauce is delicious

The food is always good. The staff is always friendly. It's a cool old-time drive-up diner and they host events for local car clubs and other things. Just a fun place. The owners are a local family who give back in many ways to the community they live in. Highly recommended. read more

Pete's Drive-In - To go order: Big Top burger, fries and true to our area, goop! The bun is toasted and it's everything I want a burger to be. - Burgers Near Me - Roseburg, Oregon

I have loved Pete's for many years, but it's been a while since we have gone there. We stopped for lunch and the first thing I noticed were the prices. $45.00 for two hamburgers and chicken strip. Burgers were OK. The portions were pretty small for the price. Son had chicken strips that were so over cooked and dry he would not eat them. Fries were were pretty good, but might be our last trip there. read more

Old fashioned burger and fries, a lot like In and Out Burger, but better! They have a fry sauce called "goop" that is absolutely amazing. Their fries are the best I've ever had, hands down! They also have onion rings and tater tots. They have a selection of burgers and sandwiches that are all tasty. You can't go wrong here. If you're in Roseburg, this is a MUST EAT! read more

Grew up with this place, want to love it, and I have tried a few times since the new owners took over, once again a horrible experience with shit food read more

We have eaten here once before and would have given it a 4 star review last time. As for today's meal, the coleslaw was flavorless, as was the tarter sauce (no, I have not had Co-vid). The fish was freezer burnt and chewy. My husbands burger looked amazing and he said it was pretty good. The music, atmosphere, and waitress were all fantastic. If I could give 2.5 stars I would. On the fence of whether to try Pete's again. read more

Bacon cheeseburger is mouth watering finger licking good. Fries we fresh!! Customer service was perfect

I was so excited to come back here after it reopened! I brought my one year old and decided to sit at the tables in the middle so she wouldn't have to eat in her car seat. I even have a handy clip-on high chair that works great for eating at picnic tables. Sat down and immediately wrote an email which was sent at 12:46. About 15 minutes went by and I got the feeling that they didn't do table service so I went up to the window to order. No line at the window. Another 5 minutes or so and I finally got acknowledged. I placed an order for a bacon cheeseburger basket and a kids cone, to be delivered after we were done with lunch. My total was $10.70. I paid and told the gal at the counter we'd be sitting in the back. We took our seats and I spent the next 25 minutes trying to entertain my daughter while she kept asking for food. When our food finally arrived at 1:34, it was delivered without napkins or a drink. The hand-cut fried were great but the burger wasn't anything special. It was very thin and I had to center everything on the bun. Another ten minutes went by and I finally got the waitress's attention again. It wasn't until 1:50 that she finally delivered the napkins and drink, at which point we were ready to go. I actually watched two separate vehicles arrive after us, then order, eat, and leave before us. I didn't complain, and they were nice enough to upgrade my fries to a large and offer us a second cone for free for the wait, we just needed to go back to the window to get the cones when we were ready for them. Unfortunately, I didn't need a large fry as it was just my 1 year old and I, and by the time we finished eating I no longer had time to get ice cream. With no way to leave our stuff at the table and go back around to the window to get the ice cream or even a refund on it, I decided we should just leave. I left my drink on the table because my hands were too full to carry it, planning to go back to get it. By the time I had my daughter in her car seat, the table was already cleared. I had about two sips of that drink. It's surprising how quickly they cleared the table when service was almost non-existent. I'm pretty disappointed in the whole experience. I really had my hopes up for a sweet lunch date with my little one. I had a much better burger with much better service in much better atmosphere at Brix two weeks ago for about $1.30 more. Overall, here's my rating: Convenience: 1 star Service: 2 stars (they at least tried to correct it) Food: 3 stars (if only for the hand cut fries) Ambience: 1 star Price: 2 stars (might have been 4 if I had received my whole order) Not recommended for kids. Not recommended during lunch hour. read more

Pete's Drive-In - Hungry, sleepy child, waiting... trying to be patient. - Burgers Near Me - Roseburg, Oregon

How unfortunate! I have an excellent review for Pete's Drive-in. We have gone there many times after our 1st awesome experience. However today changed everything. We went for lunch today. I ordered my usual broasted chicken and asked for a wing and a breast. When our order arrived, I had a drumstick and a thigh that was literally skin over bone (no meat on the thigh). The girl said, "sorry about not being able to give you the chicken parts you ordered, we have to serve you whatever comes out of the broasted!" What??? I said, then why didn't you come out and tell me that prior to choosing what I was having for lunch???? All we got was a "sorry about that!" We definitely won't be back! read more

I ordered the barbecue beef sandwich, fries and a small shake for $10.25 I'm a sucker for small beloved greasy spoons with good food. Unfortunately this is not one of those places. Knowing full well that the barbecue beef will be probably microwaved from frozen - I took my chances anyway. And the sandwich tasted every bit of what I expected (average at best). The french fries are advertised as "ho-made." And they look homemade... but they cut them and blanch them a day (or 2) before they give them a final cook. My guess is they probably freeze them in between cook cycles as well. How can I say this? I can say this because the only way you can take fresh potatoes and make them tasteless, starchy and limp - is to cook them partially and then let them sit and then cook them partially again with a dirty fryer. And if you throw them in the freezer in between cooking times - you're sure to create a tasteless product. The shake was about 8 ounces and frozen solid. I'm still guessing but it sure looks like it was pre-poured (maybe even days ago) and frozen in the cup - then thawed and served. Again you might ask how do I know this? I know this because there was a huge round deep lump of ice cream in the center of the cup. Clearly it had not been poured or mixed in quite sometime. The moral of the story? Pete's is great at making "food fast" but not so good at making "fast food good." The best part of the meal was the cute waitress. read more

Best "ho-made" fries in Douglas County.

Love what the new owners have done! My new favorite spot to get a burger and vanilla root beer.

Classic small town Drive-In Pete's has great fries and goop! I love their shakes too! The burgers may be a smidge better than average - satisfying, though. The service is great. The prices are okay. Give'em a try! -- My standard rating disclaimer: I rate places as compared to other similar places. In other words a hot dog cart or taco stand can easily be five-stars when compared to other carts and stands. read more

Good, friendly and fast service. I had the big top burger basket with a cherry coke. The burger patty is thin yet delicious. However, the burger comes with just a small amount of house sauce, goop, so the burger is quite dry. I added some of the goop that came with my fries and it was perfect. My son is 6 and ordered the footlong hot dog. The dog itself was tasty and the bun was toasted so it was very yummy for a kid's lunch! The fries are better than your average fry but not the best fry I have ever tasted. read more
