This drive-in has been here in Lindsay forever. The current owner has paid tribute to the origins of the place while expanding the menu. My wife says it's the best patty melt in the central valley, I love the Ortega burger. The fries are seasoned perfectly. The menu is so big that we haven't even come close to exploring everything, partly because our favorites are so good . Get off Highway 65 and head down Hermosa to the roundabout and treat yourself. And don't forget the soft serve ice cream! read more

This is the second time this place has scammed me out of money. I go in, place my order, pay with a card, don't leave a tip, go home and then 1 to 3 days later, I get a message from my bank showing they added an extra transaction to my sale. It's been 1 year and 3 months since I last ate here. I thought I'd give them a second chance but nope, same scam. Now I have to dig through my trash to find the receipt so I can go pay them a visit. Last time this happened, I think it was March 2024. The manager or owner whoever it was told me there's a password on the card terminal that only he can access to re-process sales and that he "accidentally hit a button" that caused it. I call BS. My gut says: never come back here. Once I find the receipt, I'll post a photo showing no tip. If the owner tries to show a receipt with a tip added, then they forged it and I'll demand to see the CCTV footage of me signing that receipt. How does this keep happening to me? And how does no one else ever check their bank notifications? Found the receipt here's the photo. Update: 6/24/2025, 1:00 PM I went to speak with the manager or owner. The lady at the register said they haven't seen the owner in weeks. She told me I could take cash on the spot or wait for him. I was like, "Weeks? Yeah, no. I'm not waiting weeks for my $2.18 back." So I took the cash. I didn't need to play the long game with the bank which can take months or sue for $2 (which, ironically, could later cost the owner hundreds of thousands in court and recovery fees... plus the $2). And yes, I'm that petty. If you know your card terminal is doing this, and you didn't even argue when I mentioned being overcharged then why haven't you changed your terminal or processor in the 1 year and 3 months since it last happened? It's as if you're the one doing it. Trying to quietly score an extra couple bucks per customer. Some might say, "It's just $2, let it go." But if they're doing this to every customer, all day, every day? That adds up. It's like those movies where a bank teller notices one cent going to waste, writes some code to collect the spare change, and ends up making millions. her hands were visibly shaking when handing me the $2 back. she knew. didnt even argue nor deny it. lost my business forever can't keep allowing this to happen, "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me." yelp wont let me post the receipt but you can see my review on google. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/geougc-cs/AB3l90D63s_eonILt4wyWUPs59rT2WsdgXs8Bpv9KHj9yBplyY44I5YT2ZzPGAEfgx1Qo108qOO0wKlBozVt2_g4SgXh1CcDOyQ_U7bYIwB_O1mXmG0fZOgVLB811yRzGrnYX5CRwO3CxgTdTYXv=s3360-w3360-h1798-rw read more

Bob's Drive In - American Near Me - Lindsay, California

The food is really good and the staff are welcoming. I do have a favorite chef not because she makes the food more delicious (she might...but I'm trying to control my bias) but because of how she greets me every time I walk in. All the staff are kind and patient. I know this because I usually special order. Locals know but if you're passing through don't overlook this place. read more

I am OBSESSED with their chicken sandwich oh my gosh. I really want to try their Avocado Burger, but I prefer chicken sandwiches so I always end up caving and getting the usual. Fries are always crispy and well-seasoned, and they don't skimp on the toppings. Overall a great quick eat in Lindsay, and I do recommend calling in and ordering ahead of time if you're on the lunch hour! The restaurant can get a bit hot in the summer, but they also have soft serve ice cream! I've heard their Philly cheesesteak fries are good too, so I need to try those, too. Great local burger place! read more

Great food. Highly recommend. Great value for money. Friendly staff. Love that this landmark has remained open.

Best burgers in town and the workers are good. they got good ice cream there and it's lil warm in there

I had the worst experience with the owner of this restaurant. I have been living here a few years in this town and there's not many places to go eat. We usually go into Bobs and for the most part it's decent but recently within the same month I've had an issue with my food. I had to take back the food the last time because it was so sloppily put together, which was not something that Bobs usually does they went ahead and exchange the food for me the second time and it was made right. Tonight me and the boys went to go get some food and we made an order over the phone. My son and I were sitting there making an order and we expressed exactly what we wanted. Michael wanted no tomatoes on his and I wanted no lettuce and no onions So we get to the house and we are passing out the hamburgers and I open up my hamburger and there is onions and pickles. They didn't put the lettuce but the onions were on my burger so I called up because I either wanted my money back or new food . I live out in the country so I have to go into town and I did not wanna go back into town? I would've rather him just give me a credit for another meal or return my money. One of the two. He stated to me that he had taken the order himself and that it was right and he repeated the order and he was correct. He did take it down right that doesn't mean it was cooked right the hamburger had onions all over it and had been sitting like that . So the flavor was on the meat and I absolutely detest onions on my hamburger Instead of giving me an option to either get my money back or get another meal at another time, he started telling me that he knew for a fact that he had done the hamburgers right and the hamburger was not done right I asked him if he wanted me to take a picture of it so I could send it to him and I explained to him, the hamburger my son had didn't have any onions so what happened was they took the onions and instead of putting them on his hamburger they put it on mine He was still very argumentative and I was getting very annoyed with him and I explained that this was not good business. I've worked in a service industry before and this isn't a hard job. It's not difficult. You just gotta double check everything before it goes out. Well, apparently he didn't like this statement And he was rude. He stated that there was no way to give a refund. He didn't give money back and that if I wanted another meal, I had to go back right then in there, but this time I didn't want his food or anything else from this place he told me that if Michael Wanted to make an order that maybe we should just walk in and make an order because he couldn't understand my son, he stated to me that maybe I should be the one making the orders and I told him well. What if my son wants something to eat and I'm not here he said well then maybe you can just walk in he doesn't realize that my son does not drive and we live almost 3 miles away from this location. The man was very rude and this business is slowly going from something that was absolutely great to something absolutely stinks and it's the attitude of the owner. He made it a point to tell me he was the owner. He hung up on me and I called back but he did not answer the phone and he said he didn't want me to go back over there at all so there was no way for me to get my money back or my food so it's going in the trash cause I'm not eating this so basically Bobs In this particular case is a thief because you took my money made my food wrong and I could not eat it and you hung up on me and you refused to give me service or my sons for that matter I don't know how you do business with other people, but I know that the way you did business with us was completely unacceptable and from here on out, I will always and forever think bobs is trash . read more

Went in today at 10 am and they didn't take our order because the cook lady said the cashier was not there yet , we waited 30 minutes and the cashier still didn't arrive , weird to have a cook there and an open restaurant without anyone to take our order , never again will I go , really bad customer service !!! read more

20/20 amazing hamburgers! The loaded fries were AMAZING! you can tell the cook enjoys what he's doing everything came out amazing !

Food is okay your typical burger joint. A little disappointed as no free refills on soda. The service was okay as well but last time I came cashier did not take my $100 bill but did take for another customer maybe because I was in my work clothes unsure. There is minimal seating inside. read more

Always hits the spot. The owner is a great soul and always is trying to provide for our community. Definitely a staple place that I visit often. read more

The Hamburgers are really good and the service is quick. The fries are always fresh when we get our order. The sandwiches are also good and the chicken nuggets are very similar to McDonald's nuggets. read more

Bob's Drive In - Avocado burger - American Near Me - Lindsay, California

The food and service was excellent!!! I called before and let them know what time I'd be in for lunch... they had the meal ready. I could tell the bigger had not been sitting for awhile , so they timed it perfect. The burgers and fires were hot, fresh, and delicious! ! I had the San Joaquin Burger! DELICIOUS!!! DONT MISS OUT read more

Growing up in Lindsay from the 60s & up, I am very disappointed on the quality of Bob's Drive-in. I left Lindsay in 83 and come back only to visit family. I bought me a strawberry shake from Bob's and realized that they can't even use strawberries to add to the shake, instead, used strawberry syrup, which taste horrible. I originally ordered a pineapple shake but, they no longer had that either. They downloaded their nice size styrofoam large to a smaller see through cup and increased the price. The reason for my two star is out of being nice. They actually deserve a minus one star. Their burger was, what I consider, only 10% meat and the rest was bread, tomato, lettuce, and a few other items. Sorry to say I will no longer be going back. I miss the old Bob's Drive-in. read more

Good was really good, our order was ready when they said it would be ready. Tasted great and was still warm when we got it home. read more

I was looking forward to having there turkey wrap combo, and I normally look in my bag and make sure everything is correct but this time I didn't (my bad) I get home and there's a Turkey Club Sandwich with bacon and onion which I hate, the fries were cold like they had been sitting. The only thing the did right was the diet pepsi. My reciept even says turkey wrap, when I called and complained they said "ooooooh we dont make the turkey wrap anymore" then why didn't you say that the first time and why did u give me a club Sandwich with bacon and onion which is nothing like what I asked for? I told them I dont eat pork and they said "we'll its beef bacon smh yeah right. Thanks for ruining my lunch, NEVER AGAIN! read more

I gave them 5 stars because everything I've tried so far has met my expectations and then some. Items that I would recommend are: the chicken salad (crispy), the turkey wrap, and the burgers are also good. Pros: good food and good variety, friendly service for the most part, and they just added a salad bar Cons: orders take a little longer to fill and it can get a little pricier than most fast food restaurants - just a little, but it's worth it. read more

Bob's Drive In - Large chicken salad - American Near Me - Lindsay, California

It reminds me of a old school diner they serve burgers, chicken, shakes, and ice cream. The burgers are really good along with their chicken. I've personally never have had their ice cream but I can tell you the shakes are really good. But the only downside is the place seems kinda old, it's family ran and it's been running for I don't know how long. read more

Patty melt, Philly cheesesteak and chili cheese fries are absolutely delicious!!! Friendly staff and great service! read more

Very very RUDE young lady working there tonight as a cashier. Makes one wonder if she is getting paid to work there or if she is there by force. We first called a little before 8pm to place and pick up order and she rudely answered WE ARE NOT TAKING ANY MORE ORDERS TONIGHT. We drove to the location to place our order and she dies look very mad to be there makes one wonder if the owner hears her talk to customer the way she does. Food is good but lacking customer service from the cashier tonight let her go home and tell her not to come in tomorrow. read more

First time here, not sure about the food but we were waiting outside the place for over half an hour when supposed to be open and didn't open . Not much to say about this place besides not punctual ? read more

The wings is where it's at. Not too much of a fan of anything else but the Chicken wings dinner special takes the W for comfort food uuuuuuufffff read more

If you are looking for a great birthday that's not mcdonald's or burger king than try Bobs. My kids and I love to order the 3x burger. And we have a challenge to see who can actually finish it all is fun and delicious. The fry and nugget combo is a great deal also. Must try this place. Worth the wait read more

Love Bob's Drive In! Great burgers. Fries are perfect and the onion rings are crunchy and great. Blue Bunny ice cream, too!

They make a great burger and they have delicious fries, too. Next time I come back I'll have to try their sandwich with a protein shake. read more

Great place to grab a burger and fries!! Good food, and wwwaaayyyy better then McDonald's or Burger King. They provide fast service!

Good food, I LOVE the pastrami sandwiches ! Also they have the "good ice" in their drinks lol. Cashier is nice and friendly, and the food is done fairly quick, even when they're busy! read more

Not the best customer service, called in for pickup and no one answered . Went in to order and was told that I could only order "something small" like a milkshake because they were going to close in 15 min... read more

The service here sucks! I would NOT point anymore in this direction. It's supposed to be customer first but they treated me horrible. She didn't give me the right change. Her hands look like she never washed them. Gave me a dirty ass cup and some burnt chicken. Overall I had the worst experience. Never coming here again . read more

Food is average. I asked for ketchup for two burgers and two fries and we got 3 packets. Don't use the restroom because it hasn't been cleaned in a long time, smelled like urine and mold, no hand soap and no hand towels. Won't stop there again. read more

This place sucks!!!! Ordered a sandwich and it tasted like marijuana! Good job cook. read more

Right around the corner from the gym, this spot has won my heart by having two things I love most in a fast food place. Protein shakes! and big burgers!, and this place does it the best! About a baseball throw away from the McDermont building this place offers u from healthy living meals, too ur biggest monster burger u have seen! My personal favorite, turkey bacon club read more

I had the San Joaquin Burger and it was the most delicious burger I had in a long time.They were very generous and put a lot of pastrami on top of the patty. Crinkle cut fries were cooked fresh to order. They have crushed ice which was a plus. You can definitely taste the quality. You definitely get the most bang for your buck. If your looking for a freshly made burger with great customer service.. I recommend you eat here and bring your whole family. Next time I am in Lindsay area I will for sure stop by and grab a bite. Keep up the good work read more

The chicken strips are good. The fried mushrooms are good. The vanilla Pepsi is good. The fries are ok.

Honestly this place is extremely average. A lot of the food is typical frozen foods heated up and served. The service is very spotty and often bordering on rude. There are a couple of hidden gems on the menu like the chicken fried steak sandwich and milkshakes but very little to bring me here often. read more

Food is ok but customer service is horrible!!!! Just take a 10 min drive to Exeter will be worth the drive
