We only tried the shakes here,so I can't really speak on anything else, but the shakes were great! So many different and interesting flavors. I loved it! Really really good as well! They still do skate-up service, which was so cool and fun! Fast and friendly. read more

Dandy's Drive-In - Coffee shake! - Burgers Near Me - Bend, Oregon

This was our first time ... we drive by it all the time but have just never stopped in the 4 years we have lived in Bend... shame on us! The burgers were great and the onion rings, YUM! I didn't love the chocolate shake (a little smokey flavor) but the banana was soooo good! Definitely will be back. read more

Dandy's Drive-In - a sandwich and fries - Burgers Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Dandy's used to be a great hamburger. We decided to go last Friday. Unfortunately, we discovered that quality has gone way down. My hamburger was over cooked and all the edges were burnt, like it had been sitting on a grill too long.. Are french fries were over cooked and brown.. we ordered one single dandy, a double dandy to french fries and a Coke and a strawberry shake.. much to our surprise our bill was close to $50. . On top of that they now want to try and impose a high tip onto your bill. The last bite of my sandwich tasted rotten, so I am definitely never eating here again. read more

I grew up with Dandy's. Literally everything in Bend has changed since then except the best burgers in Central Oregon. Classic and delicious. read more

Wow. Fantastic burger, perfectly grilled. Good bun. And the fry sauce is incredible! Fun experience eating in your car and the service was good, friendly! Best burger in Bend! read more

Have been to Dandy's many many times. Always enjoyed the service and the quality of the food. This last visit was a disappointment. The servers on skates are friendly and quick. No issues there. The food was so so! Hamburgers appear to be a lot smaller and were semi warm. Fries were okay. Milk shakes were the best item of the day. Will go back one more time to see if things are better otherwise need to find another hamburger joint. read more

It's been quite some time since I have been to Dandy's. I have heard grumbling about town that it wasn't what it used to be. Well I don't but I to the gossip and like to make decisions for myself. And I am so glad I did!!! I ordered my regular lil dandy with cheese no pickle fries with fry sauce and Pepsi. My food was as fantastic as always and why it's one of my favorite places to cheat and eat gluten and feel crappy the rest of the day!!! Their food is so worth it!!! Thank you Dandy's for still being worth it!!! read more

Boom! Bass Boost!!! I like these old school spots and they're getting harder and harder to find. This one's been in Bend since 1968...great! I tried the Dandy burger with fries and I have to say, it really hit the spot. The fry sauce (pinkish) was great and the burger was REALLY GOOD. Nice (barely pink) perfectly cooked patty, perfectly bunned between soft bread and all the fixin's. When we arrived I immediately turned up the bass and the waitress came rollerskating over to take our order. Old school, and oh so cool. BA$$ BOOST!!! Go there now. Sit in your car. Eat!!! read more

Substantial & delicious burger ... AWESOME onion rings .. fast & friendly service on roller skates

Best Burger in town! This is always a favorite for a quick date night with my wife! staff is always super friendly.

The service here is unmatched, the staff is ALWAYS polite and friendly and the food is amazing.

Wife is letting me use her account because she won't go near here. She told me it's not what it used to be and I didn't believe her. Well, she was right... Dandy's has been a Bend institution for decades, serving up delicious, cheap burgers in a nostalgic atmosphere. Sadly, though, it has joined the ever-growing group of restaurants I used to love that now are pale shadows of their former selves. I ordered a double grand dandy and tots. And it cost- I kid you not- more than most burger/fry combos at nice, sit-down pubs. Twenty freaking dollars. Had it been it traditional quality and serving size, that might have been palatable. The burger, however, was overcooked and tasteless. Had you told me it came from Dairy Queen on an off day, I wouldn't have doubted you. Even worse, the tots. Did they taste good? Sure, all 12 of them were great. Paying $4.75 for a literal HANDFUL of tots is an insulting rip-off. I'll be giving this one a miss from now on, sadly. read more

Yummy yum!! Best onion rings and fries and don't forget best Burger in Bend!! We love it ! read more

amazing! great service! even better food! fresh!!! Will be back soon! Best burger I've had in Bend!

Good food, good service. It's a drive in so if you love making eye contact with people while they eat it's awesome. Otherwise awkwardly pretend they don't exist or get it to go. read more

A great peek into the past with carhop service - burgers were delicious and service was great. If you're in Bend be sure to stop by for a treat read more

This place looks like a dive. It isn't. Grand Dandy is ... ummm, dandy. An excellent burger ranking just below In-N-Out, although I may have sipped too much of the In-N-Out Koolaid to be sure. Good bun, well-prepared and seasoned beef, tasty whatever else was in there. Tots are crispy, as they should be, and you get a good helping. Roller skating speedsters are on top of things - you better know what you want when you drive in because she'll be at your window in about seven nanoseconds. That 'Flash Your Lights' thing seems irrelevant. Maybe in the summer when tourists abound. Hailing recently from Atlanta, I prefer Coca-Cola over Pepsi, but what are you gonna do? That's what they have here. Recommended. Remember to tip. read more

I love this place , been coming here for 12 years and I get the same thing almost everytime . $14.75 is what it coast me for a grand dandy, 12 oz Oreo shake ,and fries , totally worth it !! read more

The place has a cool trendy vibe to it. Kind of has that old-school vibe but the wait time is really long at night due to just the way the service works and everyone parks and weights and eats there as well. Taking up the spots they forgot our fries so we had to wait a bit and get them and also they gave us small drinks instead of medium drinks, overall the burger wasn't bad but it was just kind of plain and simple and the fries as well. The ranch wasn't very good though kind a taste the cheap. I also thought the milkshake would be better but it kind of just tasted cheap as well overall not a bad place if you want a cheap burger, but I think there are some better higher quality options available somewhere. read more

Good old fashion burger. Always busy and for good reason. I got the single bacon cheeseburger and it was big enough, didn't need a double patty. I would pass on the French Fries since they only come in one size and are frozen not fresh plus too salty. Milk shakes are very good and come in many sizes and flavors. FYI....Cash only and be sure to tip your roller skating waitresses. read more

Oh, this place took me back in time! I stopped through with my family on a recent visit to Bend. I was sold on Dandy's the minute I saw the carhops gliding around on their skates! I ordered a BLT and a strawberry milkshake. It was truly one of the best BLTs I have ever had with their own special sauce. That strawberry shake was divine! I tried my husband's tater tots and they were far superior to the French fries. This place, like so many in Bend, is overpriced for what you get, but I recommend treating yourself to some tater tots and a shake if you are on a budget and just want a treat. read more

If you want to feel like a bear for a day or just want a really thick delicious meal and not have to get out of your car to eat it and not even bother a drive thru, call in your order and roller skating waitresses will come out to your car to give you your food read more

We're in Oregon visiting from CA. So when we found this Drive-In we definitely wanted to give it a try. Now we're from CA so burger expectations are pretty high. Burger is pretty tasty but definitely not the best I've had. Fries were good especially with their sauce. I got a mocha shake and it was o k. Stepdaughter raved that the cookies n cream was the best she's ever had (she's 8 haha). Tips: everything is a la carte... so things can get pricey They DO take debit card and they have Pepsi products (there's lemonade; they added fresh strawberries to it to make ours strawberry lemonade) read more

Excellent old fashion style grilled burgers. The kind of burgers I use to get 40 - 50 years ago. I ordered mine with mustard instead of their sauce, and it was just like burgers I use to get in Texas. Yum. I will be back before leaving bend. Milk shakes are very good also. read more

Just an absolute blast to eat here! That classic Americana vibe of 'drive in dining' done to just absolute perfection. Everything is spot on, from taking your order to unwrapping a cheeseburger that tastes like how they used to make 'em... everything I want and nothing more. Incredible fried food selection. I literally stop and eat here whenever I find myself in Bend. This place is an Oregon state treasure. Incredible burger joint. read more

Simple food. Servers on roller skates! Covered parking area! Good quick service! Only reason for 4 stars is the quality of the food but overall great place in Bend! Also if they hand dipped the corn dogs I may be willing to move to a 5 star! read more

Cash only and a bit slow but worth the wait. Was hangry before. Their milkshakes are the best. Perfect for a hot day

Freaking amazing, like "what the heck did they put in this" good. Hands down best burger place in Bend.

This place is tops for what it is. And what it is, is a drive-in, with really good burgers, fries, and milkshakes. Nothing here is organic, and if it's locally or sustainably sourced, they don't advertise it (but I doubt it, because their prices are pretty low). So, just recognize that you are getting a burger from possibly stockyard meat, and bacon from a penned pig, and fries from GMO potatoes. That being said, this is THE BEST cheap burger in town. It's simple, straightforward, cheese, iceberg lettuce and GMO tomatoes, with their signature burger sauce, and it's delicious. I have dubbed Dandy's the In-And-Out of Bend, Oregon - basically the best fast food burger you can possibly get. The milkshakes are deliciously creamy and they top them with whipped cream and a cherry. They don't advertise the flavors, but they have yet to tell me they don't have what I'm requesting. My friends requested something crazy like a peanut butter-Butterfinger-shake, and they had it, so ask away! Some last thoughts: The prices are impossible to beat; it's pretty cheap. They take cash only. The rollerskating waitresses are impressive and will inspire you to break out your childhood skates. read more

Dandy's Drive-In - The menu! They don't list their shake flavors, but you can ask for pretty much anything. - Burgers Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Dandy's Drive-In is a must when visiting Bend and looking for a cheap burger joint. Menu is pretty small, but what food they do have is good, quick, and reasonably priced. It is also an actual drive-in, which is becoming less and less these days. Shakes are especially good, and they have a bunch of different flavors. read more

Dandy's Drive-In - Burgers Near Me - Bend, Oregon

This is our second time eating here and both times we ordered hamburgers. The burgers were great and a decent size. We also ordered the fries and they were crunchy outside and creamy inside. The staff is very friendly and courteous. We will always eat here, when it comes to burgers. They also have a nice selection of other foods on the menu. read more

For my taste burger was over cooked. Rest of it was ordinary. Onion rings were on soggy side. Noting horrible just no memorable. Appearance sort of dingy. Girls on skates were friendly and service was good. read more

This had been a family favorite since the 80's and it is always amazing! I would recommend getting the onion rings with fry sauce, best I have ever had :) read more

food great but servers suck. waited forever for server to show up then she told me to wait. i waited. ...then i asked her if i could order please and she said she would be right with me. then she helped car that just pulled in. read more

From Ohio, decided to try this place for dinner! Absolutely delicious. I wish we had a place like this back home! Got a burger, fries and a Oreo shake. All of it tasty! Would definitely come back if I ever revisit Bend, Oregon again. For anyone in town, would definitely recommend! read more

Dandy's Drive-In - Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Best Burger place in town. Long time local place with old school drive up and go (with roller skates).

This is an old fashioned burger joint and the burgers taste like the burger joint burgers from 50 years ago. The deluxe burger I ordered was not the best I've ever had, but has that familiar taste from long ago. The wait staff on roller skates is super fun to watch and they were quick to take my order. Will definitely return. Does not accept credit cards. read more

What a fun place. I loved watching the waitresses skate around. Yes the burgers took about 10 minutes but it was well worth the wait. The burger was fresh and yummy like I remember burgers where when I was a child. A must to go place when you are in town. I will be back. read more

Never had a bad experience here and I'm a local who loves a good burger! The service and food are consistent. The fry sauce is so good be sure to ask for extra! But I recently found my new guilty indulgence; The Banana Royale Soft serve or hand packed ice cream made in a large clear Dandys cup, generously layered with slices of banana and the thickest fudgiest fudge. Omg- such an amazing treat! They have dozens of flavors you can add like caramel or sweet frozen strawberries. Just don't order one right before they close- I worked at an ice cream parlor here in high school and the hot fudge warmer takes time to cool down and a late order will take time to get back up to the right temp. Besides it's not good for ya to eat ice cream that late anyway ;) Just an old pet peeve of mine - they prob' don't care. read more

Tater tots with the special Dandy's fry sauce is absolutely amazing! They are a must order. All the burgers are amazing as well! I would typically give them 5 stars, but our waitress was extremely slow today and the burgers weren't exactly spot on like usual. Maybe they sat under the warmer a little long. Always a must when visiting Bend though. Girls come out on roller skates to take your order and then deliver it to you in your car where you can sit and enjoy your meal or take it to go. Super fun for the whole family! The milkshakes are yummy too! They only accept cash or local checks, so come prepared. read more
