Theo's Drive-In - Bacon Cheeseburger - Fast Food Near Me - Grand Prairie, Texas

See all

Date of Visit: Thursday, January 23, 2025. The restaurant opened at 11am, and I arrived about 11:10am. I ordered a hamburger, chili dog, onion rings and a root beer float. I give the onion rings 1 star because they were awful. I believe the onion rings were left over from the night before. They were hard...and tasted like grease/oil. The root beer float was not good either...the "soda" didn't even taste like root beer and the vanilla ice cream was bland. It definitely wasn't Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream. The hamburger was delicious, and the chili dog was good. I may return and order the onion rings later in the day...hopefully they'll be fresh. read more

Theo's Drive-In - Fast Food Near Me - Grand Prairie, Texas

I'm a local, grew up here in Grand Prairie. Took my family for some nostalgia to Theo's Drive-In. The soda mix was off, so my daughter returned it. The burgers and fries were acceptable but not exceptional. I asked the waitress if I was charged for the soda my daughter sent back. She said "yes", I asked "why if we sent it back", she said "because you ordered it". Again, poor service, the lady at the booth told her to remove it from the check. Not going back, will miss it, but it's gone downhill. read more

I have passed this probably a million times over the years but recently stopped in and had an old style burger with the trays on the window of my car. The service was good and pricing was a value read more

One of the better burgers out there, not a must come back for me since its far. Staff was really friendly on a Friday after Dinner time. Not too many people eating, so come on ahead after you are done shopping at the flea market! A Cheese burger was $4.40 and the crust of the meat was very good. If you are looking for something a little better and local then whataburger, this is the go! I subbed mustard for mayo and it worked out great. I give this burger a slight edge over Kellers since the meat was better, but its a dollar more here and its a single patty. All their sides are standard fare drive through stuff, if you had to choose frys or onion rings, id go with frys. Dr Pepper Float was majority soda, but i was not gonna complain since i was thirsty. They give all the ketchup, mustard, pepper and salt ready for you and all I had to do once I was done eating was to turn my car lights on. read more

Sorry A$$ food. Worst service. lame lame lame Stay away or beware. no what I mean or find out. read more

Really an unassuming place that you could easily miss if you're not looking for it. Apparently they've been closed because of the pandemic and really just opened back up. The food was pretty good, better than fast food but not amazing. 3/5 The service was friendly for the most part. They weren't doing the traditional drive in car trays so that put a bit of a damper on things when that's one of the reasons we wanted to go. 4/5 The prices were fair for the food we got. 5/5 read more

Theo's Drive-In - Signage - Fast Food Near Me - Grand Prairie, Texas

A real drive in experience. You pull up and park and they come right out to take your order. Yummy cheeseburgers, just like the old fashioned kind you want and need from time to time. Simple delicious ingredients made to order fresh on the grill. A hidden gem of old school dinner/drive in experience and taste. I ordered the cheeseburger just the way it came and down to the bun gives me the nostalgic taste of traditional cheeseburgers. I made it a chocolate milk shakes, french fries, and a cheeseburger. This is made to order fresh, and they are quick. By the time you order with your car hop then she comes back with your total then you pay she will be bringing the food out a few moments after. Better than fast food and just as quick with good prices and delicious hamburgers COVID: right now due to COVID, no one is allowed inside but they have a shady parking lot for you to sit and enjoy your meal. read more

Absolutely awful from the second we walked in. No one greeted us. In fact, they acted bothered when they had to get up from the booth while talking to their friends, in order to seat us. The burger was a frozen patty, which could be fine if they'd spruced it up a bit. But it had no flavor. Raw onion, when I know there's a grill back there to sauté them. Bun wasn't even toasted, but looked like it just came straight out of the bag. Fries were the best part and they weren't much better. I don't understand why or how it's been in business for so long but it makes sense that there's never any cars on the parking lot. read more

THIS PLACE IS GOOD for comfort food, late nights, please come here and show some support. The milkshake is good, the burgers are big and onion rings are big and crispy. Definitely a must try. read more

Theo's Drive-In - a hamburger and a drink - Fast Food Near Me - Grand Prairie, Texas

See all

I came to Theo's drive-in, because it was trending on tick-tok. Seems like old fashion hamburger joint. I order and found out that all items are separate and they did not even have combos. I ordered a double bacon cheeseburger with fries and shake. My wife ordered a hamburger drink and fries. The flavor of the burger was decent. Nothing special that would make me say let's return. Pretty much I could have gone to Sonic's and would have had a better quality burger, larger shake, and it would have cost me at lot less than the $34.00 Theo's charged me. But I guess patrons have to pay for the owner's Porche read more

Really good food, the staff was nice, the interior was nice, and overall good experience

I pulled over roadside to this family owned drive in. Theo's Drive in has been serving up burgers, steak sandwiches, shakes & more since '58! So delicious- another local OG that could be as big as any chain restaurant if you judged them by their delicious food! Steak Sandwich, Cheeseburger, Chili Cheese Dog, fries, onion rings and Chocolate Shake. read more

Eating there for decades. Alway clean and very friendly and employees have been there long time. Food is good like momma used to make. Try it!! read more

Great drive in food! Everything I've had there was good. The car hops are super nice, and the vintage ambiance is cool!

We discovered this place on our Sunday drive today. We had no idea we were 10 minutes before closing time as we parked under the awning. A smiling lady with pen and paper in hand approached us. We asked what should we try and the lady spoke highly of the burgers. We decided on a 2 cheese burgers, steak sandwich and chili dog with 2 root beer floats and a large fries totaling $27 and some change!! I can't begin to explain this meal SUPER FRESH perfectly served. Hidden GEM you will not regret trying enjoy the experience of 1959's!!!! read more

Excellent burgers, fries, chocolate shakes! Very friendly service! We love Theo's! You will too!

This was a place that we passed up. As we passed it...i yelped it. There were only a handful of reviews...but they made me curious. The place is not flashy, new, or upscale. It's just a place. The outside made me think it might be closed. We pulled up and walked inside the restaurant where the waitress was waiting with two menus. She was pleasant and happy to seat us. The inside is old, but I equate it to bring at your grandma's house. The place is aged but clean. As we we ordered the prices were low and very reasonable. My cheeeseburger was 3.50 and onion rings were like 2.50. The food came and we were checked on enough. The restaurant reminded me of mel' s diner. The food was good and simple. I'm glad we stopped and enjoyed this gem. read more

Love this place the people are nice and so is the atmosphere the food is amazing it makes you feel as if you're in the 60s-70s era.

Was treated here after helping my cousin move a 1 bedroom apartment across town! We were hungry and tried the cheeseburgers, onion rings, chili cheese hot dogs, and shakes. Old fashioned burgers were great. My favorite was the dog and rings. All of us liked the shakes (mine was cherry), but they were very small served in thin plastic cups. Not made from ice cream, but artificial. I think the ambiance could be cured if they played any kind of music. The waitress was good, but seemed to be overworked in this tiny diner. When we were paying at the cash register an elderly man sat at a table near the kitchen just staring. Was this Theo himself? Theo, please go home. read more

This used to be a very lovely place to eat at and The original owners are as sweet as can be, But the young fat lady at the front counter as soon as you walk in is nothing short of a bitchy ass cunt who has an attitude because of the level of gratitude and respect she holds for herself. None! She was extremely rude and threw the menu in my face which I should have done back but I am simply not a bitch. may god bless her for real! And the milkshakes here are terrible had a sour milk taste to it read more

I stopped on my way home. I thought a hamburger sounded really good so I picked Theo's over Sonic. I had a cheeseburger, no onions and substituted the mustard with mayonnaise! It was amazing! This old fashioned drive -in is worth it. I will definitely go back! read more

Ain't no retro here, pretty sure this place has always been this way. Nice, comfortable drive in type diner. Mostly basic comfort food, burgers, dogs, fries, rings, etc. etc. Dining area inside, but I believe if you wait in your car more than a couple minutes a waitress will be out to get your order. I went inside for a late lunch, got a bacon cheeseburger, fries, and a chili cheese dog. Don't judge me dammit, this was a first visit so it was justified! I asked if they used cheese sauce on the dogs, like sadly Sonic does nowadays, and was told no...they do what they do with anything you order with cheese...they plop a slice of American cheese on it. Ya know what, talk crap all ya want, I love American cheese, so bring it on. Food comes out, simple burger, fresh vegs, the obligatory pre-made thin'ish type patty, some freshly grilled bacon...and oh yes, American cheese. Dog had chili, THE cheese, and mustard and onions are requested. Like the way it was grilled, not boiled. The burger was good, the dog was good, the fries were frozen, so the only bummer of the meal, but they weren't bad, just the usual frozen fare. I think everything, with a drink was about $11 plus tip, but the dog was about $3 of that and I NORMALLY wouldn't get this much food. I would, and possibly will, come in from time to time, if I'm in the area, and might even make a special trip out sometime. It's good stuff. read more

Theo's Drive-In - Bacon cheeseburger and chili cheese dog - Fast Food Near Me - Grand Prairie, Texas

We were looking for a place to grab a bite before our show at Verizon. Found this place on Yelp. 3 of us eating we all ordered burgers nice hot and crisp off the griddle..good size burger with fresh fixings ...i would like more pickle on mine next time so I'll request. The boy had a double meat/cheese which took him more than his normal 3 bites to finish. Normally he is still hungry but this burger along with his FF and shake filled him up. The girl and i opted for bacon cheese burgers she had FF I opted for Onion Rings. Both were tasty and satisfying. Rings had a nice crunch and thick batter. The kids both had shakes that were great. Our bill was right at 31 for all 3. Food was fast and service was friendly. Would definitely go back for a quick bite. They do have a sign up now where they accept CC if that is important. read more

This is an old school drive-in & it was well worth the drive to Grand Prairie! Our car hop was super nice & helpful. We ordered a bacon cheeseburger, fries, a steak sandwich & onion rings plus a coke for just under $20. I was expecting a sliced steak sandwich but it was actually a fried steak sandwich on a bun- it was tasty, nothing fancy. My favorite thing was the onion rings- they were extra crispy the way I like them, seems like maybe they are double fried. They bring a tray out to your car that sits on your window & you turn your headlights on when you need anything. This was a fun get out of the house adventure during Covid! read more
