First visit to Dandys. Servers were zipping around on their skates. Kinda busy, but service was okay. Bet they make great tips! Just moved to Bend, and am a hamburger lover! Ordered 2 deluxe cheeseburgers, with lettuce, onions n tomatoes, fries and large size Pepsi cup with soft ice cream. Fries were "real" potatoes, but was disappointed to receive 2 regular burgers with lettuce. Paid $19 plus $3 tip for my order. Had to add my own tomatoes n onions n more lettuce when I got home. I'm afraid I'm not real impressed. May or may not return. I dislike being short changed. read more

First time hubby and I stopped to get lunch, Dandy deluxe, fries and small chocolate shake. All was excellent. Beef patty was thick and not greasy, fries were large and the chocolate shake, well best thick shake we've had. We will be back. read more

We loved Dandys food! The cheeseburgers ($6) were tasty- a thick real beef patty which tasted very fresh and delish. The fries were hot and fresh- thick cut real potatoes- so good and only $2 for a generous bag which will feed a Minimum of 2 alongside a burger. My favorite was the onion rings oh man so delicious and only $2.75. I've paid a lot more for inferior onion rings! I highly recommend Dandys for your burger cravings- and bring cash! read more

Well. Sad day today indeed. Husband pretty much hates social media but after our lunch experience and hearing the vehicle next to us as well HE actually told me to post on here. If you have children or like to eat burgers in moderation and not feel like a stuffed cow, you'll be sad to hear DANDYS IS NO LONGER SERVING THE LITTLE BURGERS. NO LITTLE GRAND DANDY. NO KID SIZED BURGER OPTION. Safe to say that was the first part of our terrible meal. Second part was the meat tasted funny. Third part was the frys were oily and over done. People next to us had two small boys and all were dissatisfied about ordering corn dogs or chicken strips instead of the kid sized burger they wanted. Anyhoo, 29 years of going here are probably in the past. read more

We went there for lunch hour a lot people there so we park and order some burgers, fish sandwiches, fries and milkshakes. It was good. They accept only cash no debits card. Waitress use roller skating. Friendly staffs read more

The onion rings were top dollar as was the service. The burger was dry. Loved that the car hops were on roller skates. They do not have coke products read more

Cash or local check only but soooo worth it. Very delicious and friendly service. The secret sauce=fry sauce. Very yummy.

1968 drive-in restaurant with roller skating servers that will take you back to fond memories of the past and delivering , to your car, great burgers for under $6 a piece. Also leave room for a great milkshake with multiple unusual flavors that will bring you back for more of both as over 50 years in business speaks well of their quality and service. read more

Dandy's is a great local spot where you are served by enthusiastic young women on roller skates. That alone is reason to try Dandy's. I've been pretty happy with my burgers over the years, I always get the Grand Dandy and have to say that the bacon is always crisp and plentiful. That goes a long ways in my book towards greatness. They have fries, onion rings and TOTS to go with. I love tots and they do a great job making them just the way I like them, crispy. Their fry sauce is not great, but I'm not going to say no. I can always use ketchup. I'm a die hard ice cream fan and love chocolate malts. They've got these on the menu but to date they have always fallen short. Not very malty and not very chocolatey. It's a drive-in. And ultimately, I don't love eating in my car. Too hard to negotiate condiments. If you're in the neighborhood and considering a quick burger, I'm picking this place over the fast food chains every day of the week. No comparison to places like McDonald's etc. It's cash only, so be prepared. read more

The ONE star is for the perky waitress on roller skates. What? I can't give less than one anyways? Nevermind she wasn't THAT perky. If this is "Bend's Best Burger" then I am sorry to admit I live in Bend. Hamburger patty: mushy and flavorless Bun: the only work that came to mind was just, well... yucky Lettuce: a tiny bit of shaved iceberg crap Tomatoes: sad, sad, sad - grainy and flavorless. If that is as good as the tomatoes get in the middle of summer, there is no WAY I will go there in the winter. Bacon: one HALF a strip There are no combinations, either. So if you want fries, rings (which they were out of), or tots and a soda? That'll be $10 per person. For crummy, soggy drive in food for heaven's sakes! I've heard of nostalgia, but this was ridiculous. read more

Went with average expectations and was highly impressed! Rollerskating staff are super friendly, and the food was amazing. Just pull up, order (have cash in hand!) and they will bring your food out in about 15 mins. It's all made to order, but worth the wait. I had a cheeseburger with fries. Burger was very flavorful and juicy, and the fries were crispy and fresh! Loved just eating in the car. Fun stop in Bend! read more

Ok, I know, I know, I don't live in Bend...but we go there every year to visit family. So I have been checking into "good eats" in town, just to know what our options are when we get out there. I found a blog on the internet all about Bend Oregon Restaurants and thank goodness I did!! Dandy's sounded good and was highly rated, so we checked it out. Burger: Very fresh and delicious!!! Onion Rings: some of the best I've ever had, crispy and fresh! Fries: SOOOO crispy, just like I like them. Not one bit soggy. And the sauce they give you only adds to the flavor!! Service was good and the waitress was very sweet. (I always ask them what they think is good there and like to see how honest their answer seems) It had a very "small town" feel to it. Believe me, I am from the San Francisco Bay Area in Cali, and I am used to RUDE service! Only downside is eating in the car, they should have some outside tables. My son is nick-named 'Messy Jones' because it is guaranteed he WILL get somethin' on somethin', you know what I mean? read more

Dandy's Drive-In - My first trip to Dandy's will not be my last - Burgers Near Me - Bend, Oregon

A local institution. Folks who decry Dandy's as overrated because the first burger they tried there didn't heal the sick or cause them to walk on water miss the point. Dandy's serves a tasty, simple, inexpensive burger with a distinctive flavor that you cannot get anywhere else. And they rollerskate it to your car; what's not awesome about that? I was born in raised in Bend, but I haven't lived there for a long time. Dandy's is on the (very) short list of places I make a point of eating whenever I'm in town because their food tastes like home. There is no substitute for a Dandyburger. I've looked far and wide. read more

Get over your Quinoa crap. Roll in here with cash ready and enjoy. Great burger and food plus a fun drive in feel!! read more

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

My favorite burger place! You'll get a nostalgic greeting here with a smiling server on skates who will roll up to your car and take your order. The burgers are delicious and the onion rings are the best I've had in town. They are equipped with somewhere around 15 flavors of shakes and malts which do not dissapoint! I highly recommend this old time favorite local establishment. Cash only here so hit the atm first. read more

I don't know what the first reviewer was smoking the day she went here, but this place is awesome! I made a point to eat only at non-chain eateries on this trip back and forth to Spokane. This was the nicest surprise, just slipping in front of Big Jim's Drive In in The Dalles. In a nutshell: Good cheesburger...lots of flavor, good size patty, excellent condiments. Tasty fries...90 cents for a larger than expected small, good texture, available with fry-sauce. Excellent shakes...had a blackberry flavored one, and it even had chunks of real blackberries in it. All this for under $8 and served on rollerskates. Muy bueno! read more

When I want a great burger in Bend I go to Dandy's. Everything is fresh and delicious, as well as reasonably priced. A tasty burger, order of fries and a drink is only about $5. And if you aren't totally starving the Lil Dandy just might do the trick. I also like that Dandy's offers items other than burgers, such as grilled cheese, corn dogs and grilled ham and cheese. Their onion rings are absolutely perfect and definitely a portion size for 2 people (as is the large fry that's only $1.10). This place gets pretty busy at lunch time--and it can take a while for your food. But that's ok; we're in Bend. Just chill and thank me later. FYI: They don't take debit cards--cash or local check only. read more

They no longer serve the lil burgers, when asked i was told because its hard to keep the small burgers from burning on the grill. So instead i got to pay $6 for a regular burger that was undercooked and pink all the way through. So pink that i had to throw it away as not to get sick, but my tater tots were of course overcooked so i guess that makes up for it. Sadly i have been a devoted Dandy's customer for years but will never eat there again. Very sad indeed!!! read more

I have been eating these burgers since I was a kid......and I still love this place! Always have to have a dandy burger when home!!! Everything is sooo good! Especially with a coke, onion rings and fries with some dipping sauce...... Mmmmm craving it as I am writing this. read more

I have been coming here for 20 + years and today I had surgery and my tradition has always been when I go under the knife I get a Randy's cheeseburger and onion rings ,,,, but not today they screwed my prefer over so when I woke from surgery I up happily opened up a bag of not what I ordered . I then called to complain about the no cheer on my burger a d then argued with me and told me to. Ring back down..... Obviously they do t listen are they would of realized I couldn't drive I just got out of surgery so the pictures attached are of the wrong sandwiches, one was supposed to be a lil dandy and the other a standard cheesburger. Neither were what dandys was saying I ordered, they say I ordered two burgers no cheese .... If that was true I would of had to burgers not one little dandy and one cheesburger with no cheese. read more

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

See all

Ate here for the first time today and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great burger, fries and special sauce. Taste was good and prices even better. I'm sure going back next time I'm in town! read more

Best Burgers in Bend. High quality food and a great hang. I love this place.

Straight up greasy drive-in food. Decent enough. Banana milkshakes was decent too. Roller skates are fun. Juggling little tubs of fry sauce, dripping burgers and fries in the front seat of my car . . . never Ever works out. Oh yah. CASH only. read more

I love this place! Probably one of my favorite burgers in Bend, so far. You can't beat the prices, the quality is always great, and the food is freakin' consistent! (A concept a lot of places can't quite get down) We go here at least once a week (not gonna lie....probably more) and it's always "mmmmmm" inducing with every bite! Your waitress on wheels will take care of everything for you. You won't need to leave the comfort of your car. Even when it's pouring snow, these girls just power through on roller skates and still give you service with a smile. I can't say I'd be able to do that! Plus, they're always on point and I've never had an order messed up. The fries are stellar and always fresh. Get the fry sauce. Don't ask what it is, just do it. You're welcome. If you're a bacon lover like I am, the Grand Dandy will hug your soul.....and maybe an artery or two. But I love it and I get it every time I go there. If the burgers weren't so awesome, I'd knock a star for serving Pepsi instead of Coke (But that's Bend for ya) and only accepting cash (no credit cards) But the food is well worth overlooking these issues. If you're visiting the area, definitely check it out. :) read more

If you are visiting Bend-GO EAT A BURGER HERE! As you pull into a space, you will experience a time warp not to be missed. You flip on your lights to get service. (How long since that happened) Soon a cute young girl rolls up (on her roller skates) to your window and asks for your order. She's smiling, is friendly and efficient. (That's not too common now days either!). "Cheeseburger, fries and a coke, please", is my order, from a menu board nailed to the overhanging shade. Before she races off, she reminds me they don't take credit cards, (another throwback), and that it'll be a few minutes, since they cook each burger to order. I turn on my radio and gaze out at the other guests, sitting in their cars, doing the same thing (like I did as a teen, years ago). Eventually, my order is delivered by a speedy skater. Inside the foil wrapper, a hot, juicy burger, done perfectly, a bag of fries. Old school good and hot too. The fries have the right amount of salt and there's a portion of "fry sauce", New to me. Like old school Thousand Is. dressing. Memories of other burger joints in Bend fade away as I chomp happily on my Dandy. Lettuce, onion, tomato, pickle, oh ya. I flip on my lights again to signal to one of the girls in the roller derby whizzing by that I'm finished, and up they roll, with another smile. As I pull out of the space, I leap back to the 21st century, but the memory of my 20th century lunch lingers in my mind and my pleasantly full stomach. Ah, there's one fry I dropped in my seat! Ya, that last one is always the best one. read more

First night and town and it's hubby's turn to pick dinner. Off we go to Dandy's. This is an old school drive in and not as "frilly" as Sonic, which is a good thing. The service was fast, (roller skates), the attendant was nice and the hamburgers were good. I wouldn't mind going back, however we would not order onion rings again. First bite into a hot and crispy ring resulted in cold water within. Our bill for a hamburger, cheeseburger, onion rings, a medium soda, milkshake and tip came to $21.00 read more

Great place to eat as we are passing through Bend. Fun too. They're on roller skates. We were greeted with a big smile.

Best burgers in Bend. I love that they are always hot when they get to the car. The skatewaitresses are awesome and always friendly. Simple basic burgers. I wish they had longer evening hours especially during summer. read more

Dandy's Drive-In - Mmm burger. Hot and tasty! - Burgers Near Me - Bend, Oregon

CASH ONLY! ...I seem to always forget this! Great food and service. Cheapest hamburger place in Bend that isnt "fast food" read more

Me and my homies always go here, it's the SPOT. They got FYAH burger for the low, and CHRONIC burgers for the high, these burgers got FLAVA it ain't no lie, almost taste so good could bring a tear to my eye. The milkshakes are great my tummy's feels freight when I order the flavor cake. Anyways dandy's is so good that I wrote a dang poem about it, and that should say something. read more

Dandy's Drive-In is a fine establishment, as well as a local restaurant popular to local Bendites. Better every time! Got the Grand Daddy double and it was one of the best burgers I've ever had. 10/10! read more

I like Dandy's! I've been searching for a good greasy burger and Dandy's delivers. But be careful, if you're taking it to go and not eating it immediately, the little silver bags they put your burgers in will steam those bad boys which results in wet buns, and wilted and warm tomatoes and lettuce. Gross. The fries were alright, some were a bit on the well done side and most were soggy because it took ten minutes to get home. Nice service. A cheese burger, a bacon cheese burger, two small fries and two medium drinks for $16. CASH only and they close at 8pm. read more

In-N-Out vs 5 Guys? The winner is Dandy's. Food is better, cheaper, and it arrives via friendly cute girls on roller skates! Different type of burger than Pilot Butte or Bend Burger Company, so tough to compare, but in my book Dandy's wins hands down. Go with a Grand Dandy and you will not leave disappointed! Or hungry! read more

Good food for good prices. The best part was definitely the fries and milkshakes! Friendly and quick service as well.

Dandy's? My kids always used to call this "Skaters". As in, "Can we go to Skater's for dinner tonight? Pleeeeease?" Hmmmmm....not in my top three picks for Best Burgers in Bend, but an institution just the same. We hit up Dandy's about once a year. Someone will come into work with one and pretty soon everyone is in the mood for a Dandy Burger. But once a year is about all I can handle and I'm a burger junkie. I agree with all the reviewers before me. Sometimes it can just fit the bill (5 stars) and other times you think, "OMG....what was I thinking? That was a definite gut bomb!" (1 star) I would certainly recommend everyone TRY Dandy's just for the nostalgia of the skaters....although you can get that at Sonic now too....or the off chance you really do get that delicious burger. Otherwise, if you are truly on the Best Burger in Bend quest, sorry Dandy's....I'll have to recommend reviewers to try elsewhere. Such as Hardys. That's my fav in Bend. read more

We had been driving for almost 8 hours and were craving a burger, so a quick Google search led us to Dandy's. It is similar to Sonic in that you can drive up, never get out of your car and someone on roller skates comes and takes your order, and brings you your food. The burgers are most excellent, we ordered a large order of tots (large order really honestly only fits one person), and no drinks and it was reasonably priced. I think we ended up paying approximately 13 bucks for our dinner. The burgers come with some sort of sauce on them, not sure what it is, but it was tasty and only added to the flavor of the burger. They only take cash though, no debit or credit, that is the only reason I didn't give them 5 stars. As someone who very rarely carries cash it might have stopped me from going there if it wasn't the rare chance I did have cash on me. read more

Five stars might seem like high praise for a cheap and arguably gimmicky burger dive that doesn't accept cards and has a limited menu, but I'm hear to tell you that a Grand Dandy is magic. Oh, you can surely get a slightly better burger at a downtown restaurant, but not half as quickly or as cheaply. How?! How are Dandy's burgers as stupidly good as they are? I submit that witchcraft is employed, or otherwise some sort of devil's bargain has been made. I suppose it's possible there is a more mundane explanation, like "the Grand Dandy is the recovered recipe that was the result on a secret international organization's efforts into developing an inexpensive and euphoria-enducing food designed to subdue unrest." So that's four stars right there. The fifth star is summoned forth by Dandy's onion rings, fries and shakes (of which there are an untold number of flavors). These supplimentary items are all excellent. This isn't showy food. This isn't healthy food either. It is, unquestionably, happy food. read more

Wow these burgers are the bomb. The best burgers in town by far. The meat the use must be really fresh and the fries are crisp and hot. You will have to wait for 10 minutes to get your food but well worth it. The prices are old school. They do not gouge you for your food. Always tip the skate girls who earn it. And bring cash that is all they except it makes it easier to tip. read more

Growing up in Bend,I have been a regular since Dandy's opened and tonight I will have to say that for the first time in a very very long time, I was truly disappointed in the meal we got. Flavor of the grand was just crap! Don't suppose it has anything to do with the New ownership of the change in the meal and bacon , but my wife is complaining about an upset stomach! The prices have increased and from tonight's burgers, the quality has gone way down. Will consider a 5 Guy's burger or Line Tavern next tim. Sorry to see this happen read more
