“ So good. Old fashioned ish food and fantastic service (which is old fashioned, too :) ”
“ My grandson loves their hamburgers and their root beer spins! We go there often! ”
“ The drive thru was a little confusing, there are several ordering menus all over the place, but they do a great job managing it. I had never been here before and went on a recommendation, it did not disappoint. The girl in the drive thru was very friendly. The food was absolutely the freshest, so hot I had to let the fries cool before eating them. The burger was fantastic and the bacon they use is far superior to that of every fast food restaurant I can think of. They give fry sauce with the fries, but I would recommend asking for more because it is a very small container. ”
“ This may be a new favorite! The food is fresh and delicious. I had the Henderson burger, onion rings and a chocolate shake. The burger was serious, no skimping on anything. I'm am a big fan of onion rings and these are hot and fresh and no wierd aftertaste like at the chain stores. Find a shake flavor that suites your taste and get the size that meets your mood. Also, they have Viking swag, tee-shirts and sweatshirts to show off your new favorite Mom and Pop place... ”
“ This place is a blast from the past. I love the funky speakers at the drive though! The prices are about the same a standard national chain fast-food joint. The food is definitely not standard fast food. The quality is high and the servings are big. Fun choices too. I will be back. Thanks for being unique Viking. ”
“ Great little drive in. Has some seats outside also. Enjoyed the burger good prices ”
“ I have driven by this place so many times and have always wanted to try it. I finally did, and was not disappointed! It was so refreshing to get the old-fashioned mom n pop treatment. They were so genuinely nice and the food was very good! It was cooked to order, fresh n hot, and very reasonably priced, unlike big chained fast-food places. Seating was outdoors, but it was in grass, and very shaded with a nice little breeze. There was also a drive-thru. As I was leaving, a beautiful lady ran over and gave me a tee-shirt thanking me for my support. I had just taken a picture of the place, because I was going to give it a good review and let my daughter know I finally tried it:) I will definitely be a regular! ”
“ Drive thru service. Nice service, great food. Multiple people were attended to by the employee, she did a great, considerate job. ”
