Gotta love old school drive in burger huts that have refused to change and still becoming very popular and successful in Calgary, the guys running it are so friendly and the amount of cleaning I saw in just the very fine detail is amazing to see. Fries are amazing and the burger is pretty good, I’m more of a smash patty kinda guy so it was tasty for sure !

Good food & excellent local run place. Way better than Peters. In fact we drove past Peters today just to go north out of our way for CB shakes. Worth the effort & the drive.

I was very pleasantly surprised with how good the double burger with cheese was, especially for under $8. Fixings were fresh, patties were juicy, flavourful and tender, burger was the perfect amount of messy. Looking forward to trying other items on their menu. Family owned and operated, friendly and prompt service considering food is made fresh.

If you’re looking for a decent burger, I’d definitely recommend this place. It’s delivered to you, looking not too appetizing but it does taste a lot better than it looks. I’d say that was the highlight of my order. I also got onion rings and a poutine because I wanted to see if those were good here but they were only okay. I’d really only recommend burger.

A legendary place. Wish the old Korean guy was still there. It really should be called EB drive in because it's the Earth's Best burgers. Does that make me sound like a space alien?

Visit: February 2025 This place was awesome! My coworker took me here and I was blown away by the price of the food and the amount you can get for it. I found it pretty interesting that they make the patties in a toaster/oven, but they came out really well and weren't try at all. I got the Monster burger (4 patties) and it was $9!!! Which is amazing! And some nuggets as well (which may have been frozen ones). Overall I really loved the place and love great food at an affordable price. Will definitely bring my friends here next time I'm in Calgary!

I really like this place. So many in Calgary go to Peters Drive-In for a old school drive in experiences but this place? You want to have food from a long since past? Come here. Their burgers and other food are absolutely amazing! I highly recommend. And take your food for take out and go to nearby Confederation Park for a picnic.

Fantastic experience at CB Drive Inn! We ordered the regular cheese, the master cheese (a hearty double cheeseburger), onion rings, and crinkle fries. The burgers were juicy and full of flavor, with the master cheese delivering that extra cheesy punch. The onion rings were crispy perfection, and the crinkle fries were golden, crunchy, and seasoned just right.
