    a car parked in front of the drive inn
    Bethany S.

    Really fun little drive in not too far off I-15! We were looking for a cute local spot to grab a quick bite on our road trip from Denver to Las Vegas while we were passing through Beaver. We also had our dog with so we had to make sure it had an outdoor eating area. Then we came across The Drive Inn (fka Mel's Drive In) and knew we found our spot. When you pull up it's not super obvious where to go if you want the traditional drive-in experience but if you drive around the building you'll see where to park. Otherwise if you want to eat in or grab it to go, you can park and walk inside. The menu has a surprisingly big selection despite their small building with really reasonable prices. From burgers to salads to wraps to tots, there's something for everyone. Even an assortments of desserts including ice cream and Dole Whip for some after dinner fun. We both grabbed a double cheeseburger meal and it was delish! Exactly the kind of burger you'd want from a drive-in. If you do make your way inside, there's a small video game arcade including Walking Dead pinball which was a fun surprise.

    I love local drive in restaurants and try to stop when I come through town. They have a drive up window, walk up window and indoor seating. I used the drive through since I had my dog with me. They took my order quickly, but be prepared to wait for a bit while they prepare your order. I ordered fries and a cheese burger which I ate in the park around the corner. The food is hot and fresh. I really liked the fries. They are a bit thicker than others, with a really good crispy outside. The cheese burger was delicious. I also ordered a kids cup of soft serve vanilla to share with my dog. This place is a gem tucked across from the high school. If you are coming through, stop by.

    Patty Melt

    Quick, cheap bite that was a bit too greasy for me. I had requested no mayo on the patty melt but they were more than happy to remake it for me. However, the did have Big Buck Hunter.

    First off, the fries and fry sauce are straight up ballin, amazing job there. The burger was good too, don't get me wrong, but so few places get AMAZING fries and AMAZING fry sauce, and these guys have all 3. I was driving down to Vegas and stopped in Beaver for something to eat, drove by and came in. Service was fast, food was hot, and great. What more can one person ask for. Give it a try, you won't find a better burger spot in town.

    *bonus* Fun drink menu too !

    Cheeseburger and fries

    Service here was slow but the people who work here were nice. The cheeseburger was pretty good but I've had better. The fries were excellent though I would give the fries five stars!

    Employees...waited over 35 minutes for food, no one in restaurant. Finally asked if it was ready and they handed food over cold. Then made shake and drinks as they forgot. Could here them in back messing around. Asked if food was waiting for a while received a shoulder shrug. Food was not good/burnt

    Pineapple & Raspberry Dole Whips.
    Joe D.

    Went here for one reason on our road trip home... Dole Whips. Ice cream stops are a must on our road trips. They keep my wife happy and counteract any complaints about my "beer with dinner" requisite. None of us had ever had a Dole Whip, but have heard of their popularity. They are a cross between ice cream and sherbet, with strong fruit overtones that are not overly sweet. We had the pineapple and raspberry flavors. They were enjoyed by all and ensured my dinner in Orem (with limited dinner options that serve alcohol) would be accompanied by a cold beer... or two. I am cunning.

    First, it's not a drive-in. They do not provide car service. Next, the cashier missed 3 items on our order, and she brought us the wrong sauce for one of the replacement items. They do not provide ketchup, mustard, salt, or pepper at the table, so you have to ask for everything you need. AC was on max the day I went, so it was uncomfortably cold. The good things: The food is good. I had a burger; it was decent, which is what I would expect from a burger place. The place is clean. Our food didn't take forever. ...so two stars for meeting bare minimum expectations. Mel needs to try harder.
