Sorry we didn't take any pics but we were so hungry we noshed on our food right away! It was a perfect hamburger, fries and shake experience and we are so glad we took an extra few minutes to eat here. It's not fast food but it's a great place to stop. We had sweet ladies providing great service too! Drive up and they come to you...a true drive in experience read more

The Tax Deduction and I were on yet another trip to Idaho. We have family there. Feeling hungry and coming up on Baker City we started talking about where to eat. We decided we were tired of the national chains and wanted to do something local. A quick scan of the Yelp app and we were headed for Burger Bobs! We arrived to a charming old time burger stand. No tables inside or out, you either take it with you or tailgate. The owner warned us it would be about 25 minutes for food because they were backed up. We deeply appreciated the warning! Tired of the road we decided to wait and do some walking around. The Tax Deduction ordered the Steak Fries and I decided to try the Super Burger with fries. The menu is really complete, everything you can think of, see the photos. Talking to the owners we learned this building started as a Arctic Circle burger joint in 1960. They seem to be the second owners of the building. There is evidence of their support for local community events and schools on the walls and windows, which I think is awesome. Our food was great, we really loved the fresh fries and the burger was perfect in every way. The steak fries were loaded with steak chunks and had plenty of fries. It is a ways off the Interstate, you have to be looking for this place, and willing to eat in the elements or in the car. But, if you choose to, you will be rewarded with great service, great food and owners who truly appreciate the business. read more

Can't pass up a burger joint during my travels.. I really liked the double. When the patty is the same size as the bun you will have me coming back. I pulled to the side of the road to eat in my RV. Appeared to have plenty of outside seating read more

Oooh, a hidden local gem we found thanks to Yelp. Ordered the steak strips and a hot pastrami sandwich. The food was hot and fresh. Service was friendly and helpful. The French fries were down right amazing. Wish I would have tried the raved about burger, but went for the hot pastrami sandwich, since I'd had never had one before. It definitely did not disappoint. The hours on Yelp are not correct. There were open later than indicated here. read more

good burgers fries n shakes, try the jalapeno cheddar burger, a german sausage, and a vanilla coke!

Driving through camping, and got hungry. I love a dive burger place so Burger Bob's got me excited. When we asked the Les Schwab guy about it, he told us with the most enthusiastic "good choice" that we needed to try the chicken burger and curly fries. Great recommendation, it was fantastic. 12/10 will drive to Baker City just for this place. read more

Was looking forward to a burger , so I stopped by the drive through. The employee was wearing a mask over her ears but not her nose. Why bother with the uncomfortable part if you're not going to do the important part? So I left disappointed, no burgers for me tonight. :( I won't bother to make the trip next time. read more

If you're looking to have an amazing delicious burger look no further this place is amazing and Food is great. Friendly service.

If you want a good burger this is the place to go. The place is small so everything is too go just like the old time drive ins. Staff were very friendly, as were the other customers. We'll be back the next time we are in Baker City. read more

Great burger joint in downtown Baker City. The whole family stopped in today for a bite to eat. Friendly staff. Burger and fries were what to expect from an old burger joint. Milkshakes were great too! A little interesting the staff feel the need to place the book Of Mormon right at the front counter in people's face... to each their own. read more

"Mixed feelings, like mixed drinks, are a confusion to the soul" -- George Carman 16th person to review Burger Bobs, or Happy Burger, or Arctic Circle in Old Baker City, Oregon (I'll get to why that is). Baker City is named after the only Senator killed in Combat and has less than 10k people! It's located in Northern Oregon two hours from Boise. This is my 439th review. It has the biggest, most crazy dollar store I've ever seen! I digress... As the quote above suggests, and then my description of Burger "Bob's" many names, I found myself scratching my head wondering what their "original" name is. In the front lobby (no dining in) they have newspaper articles about the family-owned business and advertisements for "Happy Burger" and newspaper articles for Arctic Circle opening in Baker city at the same location, yet it's called Burger Bobs-- not to be confused with Bob's Burgers (the reason I bookmarked lol), so I don't know what their "real" family-owned and operated name is. Nevertheless... The place was busy with cars backed up waiting for 20 minutes, which has to mean this place is really good or the locals are loyal or don't have anywhere else to go! They had many call=in orders. The locals were flying in and out. Hell, they have a 1/2 gallon ice cream challenge! The menu looked like an old diner, overly caloric and full of yummy goodness. I went with a chicken strip basket sub onion rings-- skip it. Nothing special. In fact the chicken awkward tasting, the onion rings felt like they were in oil that's been there since they opened and I threw them out at the rest area. It's all in the experience, right-- that's my motto! The staff was friendly albeit it slow and somewhat "new" acting. Understandable. The cook sat down on his phone often, while the food was cooking or the fries were in the fryer as opposed to cleaning or providing excellent customer service-- MULTITask people! All in all-- if you're local, I suppose this is the place to be-- but in my world, it doesn't cut it. Time is precious and the food, nor the service was worth my time. read more

Love burger bobs! They have delicious burgers, some of the best fries, and the absolute best fried pickles ever!!!! Plus if you get a wristband you can get in on the wristband special. It changes every month and never disappoints. read more

Call ahead at least 30 minutes or plan to wait for 45 minutes. Very slow and unorganized. They lost our order of 2 burgers and 1 fry. ‍

I feel bad because I can't provide a full review on Burger Bobs, since I have not sampled their burgers yet. Please forgive me. The story here is that as we were heading back to Idaho from a road trip in Oregon, we were passing through Baker City, and both my wife and I wanted a snack. We wanted ice-cream, but couldn't find a place open, then we checked Yelp for drive-in places, thinking we could pick up something cold there. Ta Da, we found Burger Bobs. I ordered a large set of French Fries, and my wife ordered a chocolate shake. Honestly, the shake was ok (not bad, not exceedingly great), but I have to tell you something... The french fries were out of this world. I'm a french fry junky. I am the the Will Rogers of french fries. I believe that heaven will be composed of rivers of french fries that flow into potato chip oceans. Ok, enough of that, but you get the idea... The french fries we were served from Burger Bobs were some of the best I have ever tasted. Fried perfectly, still hot, tasting fresh, with just the right amount of salt. There is a huge amount of variability in french fries from every restaurant, and no two places do them exactly the same every time (except McDonalds). These fries were nothing short of amazing. My only regret is that I didn't order two large orders, so that I could have enjoyed them twice as much. Someday we'll be back to conduct a full evaluation of one of my other obsessions... Hamburgers from independent drive-in burger joints. [ Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. ] read more

Burger Bobs - Menu - Burgers Near Me - Baker City, Oregon

Stopped in the town to grab something to eat. Found this spot and wanted to support instead of going to a McDonalds. Took a few minutes to review the menu and walked in to order. First my husband was not acknowledged instead, the cashier asked the man in the Trump hat if we were with him. Once he said no he said something. We probably should have left when we saw the woman in the back handling the food without gloves, but we figured oh well she must have washed them. While waiting in line we had the opportunity to overhear the conversation between the man who was a cashier and a customer since the lobby is super small. We left after hearing him make derogatory comments about the Black Lives Matter Movement to the customer in the Trump hat, all while a Book of Mormon sits on the counter. Under normal circumstances this shit doesn't bother me, everyone has the right to their own opinion, but where is the common decency in front of potential customers. We literally had 8 orders we were about to place. On top of this I actually spoke to the customer with the Trump hat on when he walked in. It's disappointing that people go out of their way to make others feel uncomfortable. If you haven't realized my family is black. The other family we were traveling with was black and Hawaiian and between us we had 4 kids. I'm so glad they weren't in there to hear it. I hope they have a blessed business and life I just wanted to share my experience. read more

Since moving to town, I have found this a mainstay for delicious food, wonderful customer service, and good prices. Baker City is a great, old-fashioned community that has always excelled at providing superb choices in foods. For a community of this size, it has something for everyone - Chinese, Mexican, Sushi, street tacos, pizza, and so much more. One of my favorites has to be the wonderful choice of burgers. As a child, the In and Out, and the Little Pig, where a favorite to visit with the grandparents. That little tray of perfectly browned tots and the wondrous swirl of an ice cream cone have found a new home with Burger Bobs. The places of old have changed or gone completely, but Burger Bobs has ensured the deliciousness of the past have a steady, reliable home here in Baker. The food is always piping hot and fresh. The drinks are not watered or iced down. The ice cream smooth and delicious. The ingredients fresh from the perfectly ripened tomatoes to the real meat used in their patties. Of course, I can't forget to mention the power of bacon. There is no skimping on portions either! Oh, and don't forget to give the Baconeer, or my favorite, finger steaks a try. I promise you won't be disappointed. The wait at the drive through can be a bit longer because the food is made to order. For a truly wonderful experience, park and head inside.There is an indoor ordering area with a single, sturdy wooden bench. But while you wait, explore the board of images showing the people that can take down the 64 ounce milk shake - as much as I love ice cream, I would never be able to take down that bad boy. Grab a Tid Bits while inside. Of course, watch the folks at work completing the orders while the aroma of freshly prepared bacon lingers in the air. The staff is extremely friendly, clean, and patient. I never feel rushed, and I am a real chatterer! All in all I have to say Burger Bobs is a blast from the past with all the deliciousness of today. I am never disappointed when I visit! read more

Burgers are great, yummy fry sauce and jojos!!! True drive in so no place to sit down and eat. Didn't try, but we will be back to see someone attempt the 1/2 gallon milkshake. Also, they offered to add pickle or jalepeno juice to any drink . . . We may try that sometime too. Friendly staff and quick service. We will be back. read more

I was on a long road trip when my two friends and I found Burger Bob's. We were hungry and not expecting much as we pulled up to this small drive-in. Upon reading their menu, the kid in me was awaken. Talk about a place that deserves to be on diners drive-ins and dives; Everything looked so delicious. My friends and I were talking about how exciting the menu was, and how glad we were to have found a place that sells a sweet cream cheese pretzel. Upon hearing this, a man who seemed to be the owner gave us each a Burger Bob's bracelet, which I plan to wear 24/7. This place should pop up when you image search "bang for your buck." If you're upset over frozen food, grow up; The burger is $4. The jalapeño cheddar burger was incredible, and the sweet cream cheese pretzel was nothing if not imaginative. Many negative reviews I have read have been due to poor mask-wearing and right-sided political talk, and as somebody who identifies as liberal, to this I say, what did you expect from a non-chain family-owned drive-in located in Baker City? If Burger Bob's has 1,000,000 fans, I am among them. If Burger Bob's has 100 fans, I am one of the 100. If Burger Bob's has 1 fan, I am that fan. If Burger Bob's has 0 fans, I am no longer on this earth. Shireman out. read more

Huge, yummy hamburgers! Drive through style. Very friendly staff, will definitely go back.

Almost didn't come here after reading some of the reviews but we decided we'd decide for ourselves and we're glad we did! Food came out fresh and fast. Yes the burgers are thin and I usually hate thin burgers because they're always dry and burnt but that isn't the case with these. They're also a much cheaper option than the other places in town so we decided to try a little of everything and spent around $20 for everything shown in the picture, plus a large soda and a chocolate milkshake (so freaking good). Don't miss out. read more

Burger Bobs - Burgers Near Me - Baker City, Oregon

Grilled cheese was a few slices of cold cheese on a toasted bun. The kahuna meals were both on stail-hard buns that we could barely chew through and the meat was dry. Fries were tasteless and the fry sauce is an unimaginative catchup & Mayo mix. You can watch them prep the food and nearly everything is frozen prepackaged including the meat. I found it oddly disturbing that they spend a lot of time weighing portions to the point of hovering over each fry basket adding and removing single fries to get the right weight. This made the order of 2 kahuna meals take an exceedingly long time. This was first stop here and I don't think I'll come back. It was obvious that this place has been around for a very long time, but it looked like some of them didn't want to be there. read more

Food was great, the workers were friendly, and everything moved fast. Great place to support a small family business. Loved it.

Well, I should listen to my friends when they told me to pass on Burger Bob's. I had a "double" and it was about the size of a McDonalds small single but with another Patty. No tomato, no onion slices and pretty bland all in all. The fries we're decent but in no way was the Burger worth $3.50. The wife said the onion rings we're "OK" but greasy. Her "super" looked lacking as well. Drive-in burgers should be packed on with tomato slices and onion slices. Her Burger was $4.50. The meal was $12 with small fries and small onion rings and both burgers. Wasn't impressed at all. Nice staff and clean place. Too bad. Could be a killer drive-thru. read more

Stopped while traveling through for a quick bite. We wanted to eat somewhere other than a big chain. GREAT cheeseburgers and fries! Friendly service and fair prices. We will stop again on our way back through! Thanks Burger Bobs! read more

OMG! Really?!? This place can't possibly have 4 stars. My sister and I happened upon this place. Thought we were going to get a great pastrami sandwich. It was the worst!! It was like one thin slice of hard leathery meat. That is it! Yuck!! Oh yeah, it wasn't cheap. Don't waste your money! read more

Sorry this place isn't good, the hamburger was as thin as a sheet of paper and very small, and my son said the pastrami sandwich was horrible, and the drinks were mainly all ice. The french fries were just ok . I would not recommend going here. read more

Amazing service and super clean. I had the fried Cod but it was not too great. It was typical packaged and not juicy or battered lightly, buuuuut the sweet potato fries were really good (too much salt though). Menu is great which includes American fast food ie., ice cream and burgers. No outside seating but you can drive your car up and park under the car port. Right off the main drag and prices are reasonable. read more

Long wait, but well worth the food. Great burgers, chicken burgers and great fries! Staff is friendly.

Burger was good, shake was not what I ordered and had to send back. Cook wasn't wearing a mask at all the rest of staff had the masks below their noses. No gloves were worn. They let in patrons to wait for their food that didn't have masks on. Glad we didn't go into those close quarters. If you don't mind you food being breathed on... read more

My husband and I like stopping at places that aren't chain restaurants so we found this place on our way back to Idaho. It's just a little drive-in in the middle of a little town where you drive 25 mph on all the roads. My husband Ryken got the pastrami burger and I got a regular hamburger. Ryken really liked his burger but mine was nothing special. I thought it was a little small. We got tater tots that were yummy and we both got milkshakes. The shakes were good but they didn't have much of the Oreos in the cookies and cream. Overall it was good but I don't know if I would go back. read more

The hubby didn't want McDonald's so we ended up here. A little out of the way from the highway but it was good. Fried pickles were disappointing but the burgers and fries were delicious. read more

Two trips through Baker City this summer and I'm so glad I discovered this place. The family loved it. Well worth the stop. Bob is a hoot. I love his stories. The burgers and fries are delicious. I especially enjoyed the jalapeño burger. True there is nowhere to sit, but that's what makes this drive in such a classic. read more

Just stopped by on way to Boise because of Yelp reviews. Not only was food terrible but way to expensive. We ordered three shakes and all three taste like vanilla because they went really cheap on flavor. Some of the fries and chicken strips were still frozen and burger a frozen patty and very skimpy on the condiments. Do not waste your time. read more

Good food good prices friendly would eat here all time if I could they have a very big milk shake 64ozs

Excellent burger and fries. The milkshakes were creamy and favorable. Friendly service with a long history of quality!

We were driving through and needed a quick meal. Did not want the typical fast food chains. We stopped in here. It reminded my wife of a small town burger place where she grew up in Colorado. Took a few minutes, but the food was fantastic. Clearly a mom-and-pop shop with a focus on quality burgers. Recommended read more

Great burger drive-in! I have eaten here a few times now and have not been disappointed. The Super Pastrami is out of this world! Some out door seating would be nice for us bikers is all that I would change. read more

Really good large party, good bacon, and cheese. Frys were crisp and not greasy. Food was excellent and counter staff friendly. Food is made to order so expect a short wait (couple min). read more

they can be a bit pricey but if your cheating your diet they have some really good food. other reviewers aside talking about their plain hamburgers, if you get a monster or one of their other burgers they all taste really good. even though the price seems a bit high, if your going to burger bobs try the pickle fries. they have shakes thicker than dairy queen so if your a fries and strawberry person this it the place for you. i really like the baconator. and they make the tater tots almost perfect. the chicken strips are a bit dry but if you have a large order they are always nice enough to give you a box to carry your food so that your not juggling bags around. read more
