    Chili + hamburger = chili burger.
    Steve H.

    First time eating here, the food was real good. I love open faced chili burgers, they don't carry them. But they do have delicious homemade chili and hamburgers, so I made my own. Their chili is very good. Can't wait to eat here again soon.

    Great family owned diner with great breakfasts and lots of other options (we mostly go here for breakfasts).

    Pete's drive in is very good, you get slightly more than you expect going into it. The burger was fantastic, I wish I got a little extra onion,tomato and lettuce on it though. The salad was not good. Cheesy fries were great. Service was good food came out quick. The atmosphere of it is like an old diner. 7.3/10

    If you're looking for a place to turn back the clock....Pete's Drive In may just be it! On the edge of downtown Wentzville, Mo is Pete's 1960s style curb service and inside dining classic. On a cold February day we stopped here for a soda and hamburger and loved the authentic retro architecture. The fireplace in the center of a table is also unique....and perfect to warm up! Our burgers and ice cold glass mugs of soda hit the spot!

    Take a trip back in time at this joint! From the outside, I wasn't expecting much but as soon as we walked into this restaurant I knew the food had to be good and there's a reason they've been around this long. You get an immediate sense of welcomeness as soon as you walk in the door we were greeted by several different staff with smiles. There was seriously nothing better than having the opportunity to eat your dinner around the center table that surrounded a lit fireplace.

    This place is classic. I wish it were open more days of the week. It's a true landmark of Wentzville.

    This is White Castle, folks, the crown jewel of hamburger cravings. Hell, they even made two movies…read moreabout this place. It's got to be good, right? Oh yeah. Dejected, disappointed, amazed. All adjectives to describe any Kansas Citian's remorse when WC packed up their burgers and moved out of town. Like the day the Colts left Baltimore in the middle of the night. When the Supersonics turned their back on Seattle for Oklahoma City. When your first love moved to Pittsburgh because her dad got a promotion. Sigh..... White Castle sliders are legit. These little buggers take about 2 minutes to cook because of their skimpy size. Who cares. Delicious. Get them with or without cheese, teeny onions included with a baby pickle slice thrown on top. Eat it while its hot because no self respecting WC fan likes a soggy bun. No sir. I've eaten 10 of these at a time before and had the stomach ache to prove it. Want ketchup? You'll have to grab 20 packets like in a school lunch line to satisfy your needs. The crinkly fries are also good. Don't pass up the opportunity for some chicken rings also. If you have the means, I highly recommend them. Yes, it's fast food. No, it's not good for you. Yes, you'll earn some serious street cred. No, you can't find them west of this location in Wentzville. Yes, I'll have some more. No, crave cases in your local freezer section aren't the same. Yes, my pupils dilate when I talk about WC. No, I'm not addicted. Yes, the first step is admitting you have a problem. No, just give me more.

    Terrible and rude customer service immediately. Terrible food, burnt to a crisp onion rings and…read morefrozen cheese on burgers. Also have had hair in food more than once from there. This trip was my last trip there. Would not recommend.

    On our most recent experience, things appear to have slipped off. The service was still good, and…read morethe relaxed atmosphere works, even though the booth I sat in was getting a little worse for wear with a hole in the back, and a lack of support. An odd sign in the entry notes that are no longer accepting their previously issued gift certificates (wait, so you took money for these and are no longer honoring them?), but it didn't impact me. The food was where things went south. It took 30 minutes in a half full restaurant. I ordered the namesake Tattooed Dog, as I've had it before. It arrived with onion rings... 4 of them, from medium down to small. The dog was mostly warm (not hot), but withered like it had been cooking for a while. The meat was placed atop chili that was cold... cold enough to rob the warmth from some spots of the dog. The bun was a soggy mess, and none of the cheese was melted, so it couldn't have been under the heat lamp. It looked fanciful when served, but it was very underwhelming eating compared to past experiences. My wife had the chicken wrap, served with French fries. In a day and age when competitors give out fries like they need to clear an overstocked situation, it was a small handful that would normally be found in a Happy Meal from the famous clown. The wrap itself was shy on the chicken, and heavy on the dressing inside. What used to be a nice place, appears to be sliding downhill, as if the kitchen has given up. If they've checked out, so have we.

    We were so intrigued by all the reviews, that we had to stop for dinner when we got in town…read more First thing we realized is that this is NOT the place to order a cocktail if you like a classic cocktail. We both tried the old fashioned and instantly regretted it. It was pink and tasted harsh. That being said, their food was good and the place was filled with families and groups of friends enjoying themselves. We tried a couple of burgers, fries and a side salad. The fries were really good - definitely worth ordering! The side salad was fresh and a nice option to have with their sandwiches. Overall, we would return for the food, but avoid the cocktails!
