Good food if u don't mind waiting over 45 min for it. Their burgers are really good and if the service was faster I would give them a 4 star rating. Don't go here if u are hungry read more

I really get tired of reading reviews that, while positive, start out by saying something like: "its not much to look at," or "its just a hole-in-the-wall." The fact of the matter is this is a place that has been in its location since the 50's, and if you want a little taste of what this country was before McDonald's came on the scene, then come on over here and enjoy an atmosphere of times gone by. As for the food, well, they are the best Burgers in Willits, Ukiah, Lakeport, and all points in between, and North or South. The Burgers are prepared for you when you order them - a thick, delicious 1/3 pound. The buns are terrific. They pile on lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, and mayo, or the new "101 sauce," which I totally love. They have two sizes of fries, and whichever size you order it will be double what you get at any fast food place. Many extra's like onion rings, cheese sticks, and zucchini sticks. And... Shakes!!!! Delicious ice cream shakes! At least a dozen flavors, and soft serve ice cream as well. I have to mention, "friendly" staff. Imagine that! You always get the feeling that they genuinely appreciate you doing business here. I defy anyone to tell me that they get the same treatment at any fast food place. So if I sound like a raving fan, I am. I am headed there for dinner tonight! read more

This is a great drive-in burger place on the edge of downtown Willits. It is a touch slow but the burgers and fries are great and it is a great lace to stop on the drive through town. Milkshakes are pretty good but a little on the overly sweet side. It has a nice large tree growing right on front, too, which goes with the character. read more

Thee absolute best burgers I e ever eaten plus the family owned and operated place is great. I believe the daughter runs it now, very friendly, fresh and cooked to order. read more

At first glance a total off-the-road dive. Bathroom was nasty, but the burger--simple, American-style--was worth the wait.

This place is probably hurting because of all the customers diverted onto the new 101 bypass. I feel bad. But whatever. I was going for the 'old school burger experience' and this place only partially delivered. Definitely not friendly service. Long wait in a not-so-clean patio area. Weird super white, super soft buns that are not toasted. I guess some people like that. Fried foods not particularly good either. Def. 'meh' overall. But good place to catch some local flavor, get a feel for what Willits is like. read more

You can keep your theme shops and atmospheric extravaganzas. Just show me an aged, roadside burger stand and I'll take that in a heartbeat. Now throw-in a landmark on its third generation, serving local beef on homemade buns with enough garnish to call it a salad and I'm happy as a clam! read more

Best burgers in town sounds like a lie when you look at this place. Please be patient since burgers are cooked when they are ordered. Great hole in the wall. Just wish they remodeled. read more

Great food, but it's made to order when you order it and not before. It WILL take a while to get your food. Good burgers, hotdogs, chili fries, shakes, garlic fries (really garlicky), and curly fries. They also serve thai tea, which was great. Limited parking. read more

This was a great spot to stop and eat as we passed through town. They had great burgers and killer milkshakes. Their onion rings were terrific too. No frills but great food. read more

I don't typically eat fast food, but I do recommend 101 Drive In if you have a hankering for a drive in style burger & fries. They cook their food fresh, so be prepared to wait a few minutes. They have a variety of items on the menu and the kids love the shakes and soft serve ice cream. Great family owned business. read more

Stopped for lunch while traveling through. Great burgers, but waited 45 minutes for 2 burgers, chicken strips, and 2 milkshakes. This seemed to be the norm with everyone who ordered ahead of me. Easily 4 stars if not for the wait time. read more

They make a salty veggie burger and is one of the only places to stop for a quick bite. The milk shake seems a little strange like they add artificial flavor to it. Not keen on the fries either. read more

It was delicious....... We were driving thru ready for some food decided to stop when we saw the sign......... We couldn't wait to drive back thru on our way home to eat there again....... We have great burger joints here in Chico but this place was the best. read more

We have been driving through Willits for over 20 years. Stopped here today for the first time and had fantastic burgers! Beautiful fresh ingredients. Everything made fresh to order so don't be in a hurry. Relax and enjoy! read more

Great burgers. Everything is cooked to order. So don't be in a hurry. It's a drive-in with outdoor seating. If you're looking for ambiance, you may want to look elsewhere. This place gets crazy busy when the high school lets out. So if you go during lunch or after school and you encounter the mayhem created when a gaggle of hungry kids set upon you. Don't say I didn't warn you! Lol. read more

mega excellent burgers (especially without the bun if your low carb) // the John Ford beef is fabulous, great fries and little ice cream cones for the littles ::: wonderful service everytime +++ highly recommend to travelers and locals. read more

Waited 45 minutes for 3 burgers. Tasty or not, this is ridiculously slow for a 'fast food' type drive-in.

They make bomb burgers and shakes, but the fries are not that great. You got to wait about 45 minutes or longer to receive your order.

worth the wait joh ford grass fed burgers at a drive in!!!! amazing

Only one of the best places to eat in Willits. Great burgers and shakes. Hard working family owned business. Yes, there's a bit of a waiting time but that's because this place is always busy and they take their time making sure you get a quality meal. If you don't appreciate that McDonald's is just down the street. read more

Sign says Best Burgers, Shakes & Fries. A notice at order window warns everything is made from scratch so patience will be needed when waiting for food. Only 4 people in front of us but it took 30 minutes to get 2 burgers, fries, a shake & @ soda. Unless they were baking the bread, grinding the meat & running to the garden to pick the lettuce & tomatoes, too long! Fries were frozen, not from scratch. Milkshake was good but rather small. Burger had good flavor but the patty was almost an inch smaller than the bun all the way around. Other than needing patience, they didn't live up to their hype! read more

Don't waste your time. Took over 40 mins for fries to come out. When they weren't even busy. Tables were dirty & if you like making friends with flys while you eat then come here. Nothing sounds better then swatting flys away constantly when your trying to eat your Luke warm food that isn't even close to good. read more

One of my favorite places to eat. They get busy quick so order ahead if you're smart but if you're in Willits you shouldn't be in a hurry lol. The burgers , the springrolls and the garlic fries are great !! And the milkshakes are yummy !! Take it from a fat balding semi retired gangster lol read more

On a road trip through Nor Cal we had many bad burgers, but 101 Drive-in was not one of them. The food was not fast, they made it fresh and worth the wait. We had two different kinds of burgers, both cooked exactly how we asked for them. The fries were freshly cooked. My son loved his milk shake. We will definitely be back on our next trip back up north. read more

Nothing really beats 101. Business occasionally has a strange smell in the summer due to heat I assume, but nothing is better than 101 burger. read more

Well... the food is good and the service was alright BUT when I looked at my bank statement, I noticed they charged me 3 times for my purchase. When I tried to get it reversed, the 'manager' told me that she didn't know how to do that so she wasn't able to. I offered a phone call to the Better Business Bureau after she said she was too busy with 'moving' to return my call or figure out how to refund the 2 extra charges. It's a shame that they RIP PEOPLE OFF because I had planned to take my family there again. Filing a complaint right now! If I wanted to pay $50 for 2 burgers and a corn dog, I would have went to a steakhouse. GOOD LUCK GETTING INTO AND OUT OF THE PARKING LOT! read more

Anything less than 5 stars for this is ridiculous. The bun alone is pure heaven. This is the best burger anywhere on the planet. Period.

Stopped in on our way down 101. If you like to wait a really long time (over 25 mins!) for a burger that spent 15 minutes too many on the grill, stop here. read more

Amazingly good cheeseburger! Like, probably in the top 5 I've ever had in my life. Perfect fries as well. Will return.

Excellent food, great burgers and shakes, the only down side was the wait. Everything is made fresh when ordered so it does take a while. So if your not in a hurry and want a great burger, stop here. read more

Good for a yummy veggie burger and some salty fries. Quite a wait sometimes.

I am particular about burger stands. And this one was amazing. Yes, a very long wait. Probs the best burger out of 100! Homemade bun, grilled onions, fresh, hand made burgers, and fresh lett and toms. Really good. Worth the wait. The people behind us ordered "the works": fries, burgers, milkshakes. I don't know HOW they could eat it all. We barely shared three burgers, one order of fries and diet sodas among the four of us. 6 hours later we ate dinner salads for dinner. read more

We got the hambugers. They were good. But not nearly good enough to warrant the interminable wait.

Good food but very, very slow. They also had kids taking and completing orders-- no adults in sight.

Always stop for a burger when we come to Willits!!! Good ole fashion Burger!!!! The curly fries are pretty good to!

I am a man that stands 6 foot tall and weighs 280 pounds. Finding a burger that fills me up is quite a task. Well i have found that at 101 Drive-in. I ordered a double mushroom cheese burger with the thought that it would be small and i would soon be seeking more food. Was I ever wrong. I ate this burger more than two hours ago and still have that stuffed feeling. Freshly made by hand with the finest ingredients this restaurant beats them all hands down. The only thing is, is takes time for the order to be prepared so expect minor delays or save time and order ahead. Believe me this is the finest burger joint in the entire area. I will return again and again. Only next time I think I will order a single. read more

This place is good call ahead for pick up there will still be a 5-10 minute wait. I do not eat or condone fast food, this place may seem like a fast food restaurant but it's not. Family owned usually staffed with 2-3 people. When you pick up your order you can tell there all non stop working so the wait is forgivable. I always get the grilled chicken sandwich with BBQ sauce and an order of fries, I've tried the coconut shrimp which is also good and my girlfriend gets the veggie burger which is also good. I highly recommend and go there quite often it has much fresher higher quality food than busters burgers. Not the type of place you want to sit down in the seating area there can be quite a few flies, get it to go and eat it either at home or the park. Very cheap for what you get I usually spend a around 6$ and am content, full, and happy. I was weary to go here when I first moved to town because of the appearance, I was wrong. Just goes to show you should not judge a book by its cover. If you want a good burger go here. It's quality food and cheap prices earn this place 5 stars in my book grading moderately on a curve of the town. read more
