| - SORRY Calgary, but Peter's Drive In is NOT the legendary, awesome, fabulous place you think it is.
Peter's Drive In serves flavourless mushy burgers on unimpressive white cake buns. A "small" frozen Con-Agra generic brand fries weighs about a pound, and everyone thinks this is remarkable. It is not.
Service is empathetic and generic.
For a MUCH MUCH better and more satisfying "Drive In" experience, head to "CB DRIVE IN" on Northmount. CB actually serves similar food, but its cheaper and the fries are of particular note: old-school krinkle cuts with that orange seasoning salt. The food at CBs is extremely close to what you would have gotten in the 50s or 60s. AND the owner guy is this hilarious, friendly, AWESOME Korean guy with a VOICE that should be in commercials. You have to go there to know what I mean.
ANyway, dont bother with Peters no matter how much you have heard how its a tradition and a landmark and all that. CBs Drive In, or Angels Drive In (Bowness) are WAAAAY the hell better, and ICONS in their own way as well.
