Possibly the best fries in Sac! Their burger isn't bad either. It's solid and a single is a good size. Patty isn't greasy. I got grilled onions instead. Bun is big and soft. I would order no lettuce and no tomato next time. They were a little skimpy and wilty. The single cheeseburger combo was about $20. They have all the old school menu options, like chili dogs, milkshakes, and onion rings. Service was fine. We went inside the tiny dining room to order. There is also a walk up window on the patio, if you don't want to go inside, and of course, the drive-thru window, if you don't mind waiting in line but in your car. Our food took less than 10 minutes. Another 10 minutes passed before we got home and dove into our food Surprisingly, the fries were still hot and crispy!!! After eating a few fries, it didn't even matter if the burger was good. Haha, but since it was, I will definitely be back to the Village for more! read more

I was over at a football game at Hiram Johnson and I was STARVING! I wasn't familiar with the area, and the food options. So when I searched food near me, I really didn't know where to go. However my nonnegotiable was I needed a drive thru lol, I didn't want to have to park and stand and wait. After reading the reviews for village and seeing they had a drive thru, I was sold! I love that they have something for almost everyone (bummed there weren't veggie burger or turkey burger options), and it gives old school drive in vibes. I loved that you can get a mix of fish and nuggets, so that's what I ordered, which also came with fries. Then I also ordered a slush puppy which was such a refreshing drink! I had shown up just in time because once I ordered at least 5 cars showed up behind me within a few mins. Food was hot and made to order and I will definitely be back! read more

Super awesome 50's style burger joint with inside and outside window. As well as inside and outside seating. Imagine a summer evening sitting at the outside tables and getting your meal as the sun is setting. The lights flicker on and you're ready to dig into a delicious burger, thick cut fries, and large strawberry shake w malt. Yuppp that was me just now. Service was good and ordering process was easy. Lots to choose from with individual burgers to full on meal deals. I would give it 5 stars if the patties would have been hand made. It's pretty expensive too but it's 2026 and everything is expensive in CA. But this place is worth the price read more

Unfortunately, I think this is one of those places I really wanted to like, but it didn't step up to the plate. Like me, it's old school, retro, simple, and welcoming. It's a vibe. Honestly, if this is something you want or are feeling nostalgic for, I would give it a try. I had a simple, double cheeseburger with fries and a coke. The burger is thick and definitely overpowers the condiments. Mind you, I prefer this because I want the burger to do the work. The burger was hearty, but did not lend much flavor and may have been close to "well done." It was a burger experience that required more ketchup or more of their sauce, which barely felt present. The fries were also hearty and soft. I prefer a double fried or, at least, crispier fry, so this brought the experience down a notch for me. If you are seeking a throwback night with the fam and you are in the neighborhood, I would give it a try. I would perhaps try another a fry and ask for extra sauce. The place is a little steep as my meal approached $20 for the experience I got. If the prices reflected those of the old days, perhaps this could be a burger joint I revisit sooner. read more

Village Drive-In has been serving up burgers and fries since the 1950s. It has a classic drive-in, that the looks surprisingly clean and well maintained for its age. The food and service were both good during my visit. I ordered a giant single with cheese for 10.59, and and a 3-piece chicken strip basket for 10.79. My burger came on a nicely toasted bun, had lots of meat, and plenty of fresh produce. It was so big, I had bit of trouble lining my mouth up for the approach. The chicken strips had a nice crispy crust on the outside, but were moist and tender on the inside. My fries were also crisp and cooked to a nice golden brown color. I can't complain about the quality of the food. There's a small dining room inside, more tables outside, and plenty of parking. It's definitely a restaurant I'd visit again. read more

I give it a two because food was AMAZINNNGG but the little girl who worked the window sep.21 at 5:30 WAS RUDE TO THE MAX!!! First she couldn't even take our order right amd was getting mad at us for it. Then we get our food and she stands back and death stares us on the way out. She was genuinely lucky I was driving bc somwthing would have been said! Little girl needs an attitude adjust before someone fixes for her! read more

Okay service but great food. Seems that non locals are cast aside, but overall would repeat!

In all the years I've lived in East Sac, and have driven by Village drive-in probably 200 times, I've only stopped in once for a shake (which was yummy!)! This time I ordered dinner. The convenient drive-through was a bonus. I can't believe I never noticed it! The single hamburger was a good portion and delicious, with super fresh ingredients, and the onion rings were cooked to perfection. Everything was delicious and I'm going to be frequenting much more often! read more

Amazingly overpriced! $23 for a double cheeseburger combo is absolutely insane. I'd rather eat at a nice sit-down restaurant and get a cheeseburger with full service for less. read more

Great Burger's and fries plus a great menu too choose from and the wait was not to long

Good local handmade hamburger joint. Love the old school classic diner style restaurant. Very nostalgic. The fries were cooked to perfection. The cheeseburger had good flavor and I enjoyed the garlic mayo sauce. My burger was a little bit on the dry end but not too dry. the prices for the burgers were a bit on the higher end for this type of fast food-ish place. $17.09 plus tax for a cheeseburger, soda and fries. read more

Such a great little old-timey place! Love that it's in my neighborhood! The best quick burgers you'll find around - super generous portions. read more

I got the #1, burger, fries, and drink was $19 which in my opinion a little steep lol. The fries were great, and a huge amount. I wish I asked for some sauce with them. The burger was okay, didn't finish it. might come back another time read more

The food has been consistently good since I was in high school. I'm 70 and it's my go to "burger joint." Food is always hot, fresh and the customer service is spot on. read more

The double cheeseburger was fresh and very tasty. The refreshing blackberry freeze was the perfect sweet treat to finish the meal.

Got a coffee shake (delicious btw) and took some pics my friend and I's cars out front and it was a great time. Had their food before too and it's A1! read more

The burger, while hearty, lacked flavor other than red onion. The fries were nowhere near good enough to serve without anything to dip them in. You spend almost $5 for a side of fries and they expect you to eat them plain. Expensive for a drive-through burger joint, but at least their portions are generous. read more

This place is a classic and worth a trip I was impressed with their burgers. Not so much a fan of their corndogs, but it was still decent. I like being able to order at the window and eat outside. Tables were clean and there was a decent crowd ordering which is always a good sign Wait wasn't long and the staff were very friendly despite being busy. read more

The food here is so fresh!! I got a single cheeseburger deluxe and it was packed with veggies. I also got curly fries and ranch on the side. A tiny bit pricey but a lot of places are around this price now. A lot of the workers look like high school students so be patient with them. There's also lots of parking in the lot or the street. I would recommend! read more

Good burgers, fries, and onion rings! I like how the outdoor seating is right by the ordering area. Their milkshakes are really good too. We wanted to try their slushies, but the machine was broken. read more

They're WAY too expensive, and the food quality has gone WAY down. I grew up in this neighborhood, and it was always our "Go-to" on the way home from the pool many decades ago. I won't be going back. read more

I've lived in the neighborhood my whole life and have been coming here as long as I can remember. All of their food is great, from the burgers to the milk shakes. Make sure to get a raspberry slushy in the summer to cool you off read more

good food. a staple in this community for many years. You always get your monies worth. My favorite items here are the tacos and chilli cheese fries read more

Man I love this place. Good size hamburgers. Here's the deal though... One of the key's to a good sando is the bun. They got great buns here. Nice and chewy. Im into it. Im kinda surprised I never reviewed this spot.. it's one of those places I've been going to forever ...guess I figured I had already reviewed it at some point. I get the Cheeseburger deluxe and Onion rings (only if someone else gets some fries I can steal other wise ill get a fry) they got other awesome stuff.. fried things and milkshakes..but really its the burgers that keep me coming back. Nice and fresh...good size and great buns. read more

05/07/2025 at 6:05 PM FOOD & DRINKS Giant Double Cheese - excellent tasting with fresh produce, definitely a winner. French Fries - Glad they aren't little skinny fries and they are well cooked! SERVICE Good DECOR Sparse and it's okay, decor decorations aren't needed. CLEANLINESS Super clean! LOCATION Great neighborhood spot with both indoor and outdoor seating and near Tahoe Park. Plenty of private and street parking. PRICE Reasonable for the quality of what is provided. OVERALL EXPERIENCE Will return for sure. The food is worth a little bit of a wait. It's all cooked fresh and is a wonderful place to eat in a neighborhood setting. read more

One of the best burgers in Sacramento.highly recommend if you like an authentic drive in style burger. Portions are huge

10 stars. Everything is fresh and the shakes are to die for. Bomb ah food. Great service and you wait a good amount of time for your order to be ready and that's how you know your food is being made as soon as you order it. so it's fresh as heck :p read more

It pains me to give this place 3 stars because it was a staple for me growing up. I'd literally be here every day in summer when I was a kid but it's just not the same. The burgers have deflated in size and massively increased in price. The nickel and diming for refills was the main reason for loss of a star too. I get charging for extra sauces but soda refills was a bit much. Overall, the nostalgia of this place just isn't enough to make me come back for their food anymore. I will however continue to return for their slush puppies. read more

Had been wanting to try this for awhile now and on this beautiful day, we ordered for the first time here and sat outside in the sunshine. The burger had no flavor. The "special" sauce was scraped on so really could not taste it. Fries were rather greasy. My friends burger order was incorrect as well. We won't be returning. read more

Burgers are delicious and worth the wait! They cook your food at order time. Highly recommend this neighborhood place!

yum yum yummmmyy. this place has the burgers you see in dreams. perfect ratios. great bun. melt cheese... and best part... a drive thru.. The service is not super fast but if you bear that in mind you will have a great experience. It's a cute little diner situation and has great curly fries !! read more

overall, the food at Village Drive was good except for the workers attitude. The Asian one with the one earring in his ear was so rude one out of 10 would not recommend coming back due to the customer service. I believe his name is Alex. He was even yelling at his employees and the customers very rude. Worst customer service ever do not recommend going here. read more

It doesn't get much better than this. Outdoor seating, great burgers, decent prices. I wish they had some outdoor music, but beyond that I have no complaints. They have shakes, slushies, sodas, you name it- yet it feels like simple, all-American type menu. This is the place to go on one of those beautiful Sacramento summer nights with the delta breeze sweeping through and you bite into a a juicy burger. read more

This place has been around forever and I think nostalgia is all that is keeping this place alive. They have mid-level food that is definitely not a good value anymore. Prices are insane IMHO. They all wear COVID masks which makes it hard to understand when taking your order, mainly due to the grill vent fan and other machines whirring in the background. Their fries are just okay. Their "giant burger" buns are too big for the patties by about 20%. They charge extra for refills and sauces. The indoor dining area has limited seating. I guess they can't spare to update or turn down their AC because it was pretty warm inside. A teeny kids burger was around $7 after tax and in our case they were a little over cooked. They seem to only have one size French fry, which it would be nice if they had a smaller size or a value size for those of us who don't eat a pound of potatoes in one sitting. Sadly, I probably will not be back. $71 for 3 kids and two adults with only one small soda is ridiculous. read more

Way expensive now. Last time going . 5 dollars fries and 10 for a burger what!! Change prices if want people in out cheaper.

Yummy deluxe cheeseburger, French fries and a burrito for lunch. It was a phone in order. Everything was hot and fresh upon pick up

Love this place! Only regret is we didn't find it until we're moving away. Great burgers (my husband is super picky), great service, fresh food! No problem with extra crispy fries. Excellent! read more

I have been a long time fan and I have taken many people and I have always loved the food. Unfortunately, I visited last week and the quality was not there, what happened. The burgers were the worse they ever had, the milkshake was definitely not the same at all. The fries were the only thing that stayed the same. The price for the quality, definitely not worth it. Sorry Village, but I'm not going to lie about it. Good luck and it will probably be a long time for me to visit you again. read more

The food is good but it is more on the pricier side.. Service was great. I have a few favorites including the cherry lime ricky & the pineapple sundae & banana shake. read more
