| - Drive-ins like this are so rare these days. Before I moved to Canada, I'd only seen them in films (further proving my point that 'everything in North America is just like the movies!!').
I was taken here during Stampede in 2010 and considering it was one of the days where it didn't rain during that summer, Peters' was kind of packed. We managed to snag a bench, though. Because it was my first time there, it was my birthday, and I'm me, I tried the burger, fries, onion rings and milkshake. I won't lie, the burger was pretty delicious, but nothing spectacular if you're used to the gourmet burgers food trucks seem to be churning out as of late. The onion rings here are great and the fries do what fries are supposed to do. However, the real star of this place is the milkshakes. Anytime we're back in calgary, we swing by and pick up a milkshake to go. There's hundreds (literally) of different flavours and they've got everything from blueberry to marshmallow. My favourite is the chocolate, chocolate, and orange. Pro tip: The chocolate isn't that chocolatey, so if you want it in your shake, double up. Otherwise, the other flavours will drown it out.
This was also the fateful night that I discovered mosquitoes don't like me, so it really was a rather pleasant evening -- burgers and a dash of schadenfreude. Four stars just because of the milkshakes. If they didn't have those, it would definitely be a three-star place.
