    Small burger! Huge honestly and the flavor is great
    Ron F.

    Cool spot! Local and the car hop style at its best. Drove about 40 minutes to get here. Worth the drive! We had the small burger, 3 piece chicken and the large chili cheese dog. All were good but we ranked with the chicken then the burger then the dog. The portions were huge and the prices were great. But the real star of the show was our car hop. She (Destiny) was outstanding and honestly the best part. She was very attentive and helpful with questions and suggestions. Very much appreciated. The portions of the food were so large we couldn't finish them so as a result we had a lot to place back on the window tray. Destiny noticed we didn't finish and offered to get us something else as she initially thought we didn't care for the food. We were just full but truly appreciate her looking out for us. That is a rare trait now days. She made the whole experience something to talk about and come back for. I hope she still works there when we do come back! Thank you.

    Great Inexpensive food-great prices! Quick service!!

    Liked the place....Service was swift and friendly..For fast food I give this place 5 stars...Way better than any chain....I got the flounder sandwich (added cheese) with fries...Both were quite good....My buddy got the BBQ beef sandwich and he liked it.

    Good food great service and amazing prices this is one of my favorite Florida hidden gems. It's a basic drive in with basic food but it's cooked well and the service is always top tier.

    My husband and I had lunch at Dino's today. It was our first visit and will definitely not be our last! Everything here was fantastic, from the low prices (with most items well under $10) to the food quality to the friendly servers who were really hustling. My husband loved his lamb gyro and banana milkshake while I enjoyed my catfish sandwich and fries. Our whole bill after taxes was only $25.06. Highly recommend.

    Look for this Road Sign!!!

    FAMILY FOOD ADVENTURE, 3 TIMES OVER 2 DAYS!!! First day here: The Wife, my son and me have been wanting to try Dino's been seeing it for a while. Since it was just us 3 and it was getting late we decided to try it, FINALLY!!! The Service was awesome, waitresses were very pleasant and informative. Even asked if we had any questions. The picnics tables are outside next to where cars pull up, so be ready for lights in your eyes from non courteous customers, but it's a nice throw back to the ways of old in essence. Maybe if the wait staff asked drivers to turn there lights off while they wait or if Dino's hung signs it would help. Food = Value This place is spot on for sizing to what they charge and for some items like the footlong chili dog, It's just a great deal!!! You can bring everyone here and get most a Full Belly for under 10$ and it's not fast food!!! Frozen foods yes, but cooked really well!!! We got a little bit of each of our Fav's. PRO TIP: GET THE BASKET IT IS WORTH IT!!! Fries or Onion Rings!!! Our order consisted of: Fried mushrooms: Pre made frozen mushrooms, but the cook was perfect, the breading stayed intact and there was only yummy mushroom water juice inside the breading. No oil leak through that can happen with cheap frozen mushrooms. These are at least mid level frozen level and were enjoyed by all. Especially with the in house Ranch dressing, this was really tasty!!! Philly cheese steak: Price for size was good food value and if you get it with all the toppings it would have been even bigger. It comes with the salad works as a topping with grilled peppers and your choice of onion type, raw or grilled. I only got the grilled peppers and onions as it should, for me anyways, lol!!! The Philly was cooked very well and the steak to cheese ratio was decent, but I can always use more cheese, can't we all??? The Philly bread went perfect with the bite of steak and cheese. A nice soft bread. Great Value!!! Chili dog (12") w/bun to match length. Hot dog was great all you'd want from a dog. Not a low grade tasting hot dog at all. It was quality. The bun was really good as well!!! The Chili was a little lite, but it was late so it might have been the end of a batch and they just didn't have enough left to give more. (Look at the 2nd day for an update of chili). Onion Rings as a side were ok. These are basically like the McCain onion rings from the super market. Flat formed batter, not crunchy like you would get with a better battered pre frozen onion rings, which does cost more, but then just give a couple less, there's better quality onion rings out there for sure!!! Still good food value tho. We would get again, just with known expectations next tim The Large Cheeseburger Basket: My son ate the cheeseburger before I even got a chance to ask him how it was. LOL he loved it!!! Rice and fries were good as well!!! The Wifey got the Clam strips dinner it came with Fries, Slaw & Rice, All 3!!!Tartar sauce and cocktail sauce available. The clams were a little small as a portion for her likings, but it was still enjoyed by her. With all the sides it is a very filling plate especially for the price she said!!! All in all it was a great 1st visit, it was so good food = value, taste and service wise, that my eldest and I went back for lunch the next day. For lunch my eldest got the Large Hot dog, Fries & Cole slaw. They enjoyed it all!!! I got the buffalo chicken salad w/blue cheese dressing. It was a very good salad and plenty of chicken/dressing. I really enjoyed it!!! Now I was tired and still full from lunch when everyone else was hungry. So, I said Let's go a third time so I don't have to cook!!! Three ordered Bacon Cheeseburgers with sides & the little one had to try the chili cheese dog. Again everyone enjoyed their food and it was only 36$ for 4 non fast food meals that's cheaper than 4 fast food not as good food meals!!! Last Pro tip: Call ahead if you want it to go. We did, twice and both times we were told 10 minutes and each time they were on point. We would pull up, someone came right over, take our name go in and a few mins later they would come out with our food. Did I mention GREAT SERVICE!!!! 4 Star rating b/c some things I mentioned can be improved upon for even better quality, but definitely worth the try and return!!! This place will definitely be on our rotation for now on!!! AS ALWAYS, TRY IT FOR YOURSELF!!!

    Lots of choices!

    This ain't your grandparent's drive-in...wait, yes it is! Old school drive-in, with an interesting menu and awesome service. Quiet and laid back, with quick friendly service. I have eating food from the establishment before, today was my first time to be able to stop in. I have tried several dishes, from burgers to wings to seafood and it has all been excellent. Today I had a lamb gyro...so good! I also love their onion rings. This place reeks of nostalgia...no load music, no swanky settings...ust good food, great service and old time feels!

    Dino's Drive In was a great experience. The food was good, the service was fast. Your carhop will place your order and deliver it on a tray and attach it to your window. I had a cheeseburger and fries ans my husband had an Italian Sub and onion rings. They do have a few picnic tables to eat at if you don't want to eat in your car. We will be back.

    As much as I wanted to love my first try with Dino's, I think it was a "one & done". I drove in about 11:30 to a less than filled drive-in. I waited longer than I should've due to people pulling in later getting served first and orders coming out. I'd actually thrown my car in reverse when I got a server and placed my order for a hot dog, onion rings and a chocolate shake. They didn't have relish offered pickles, said yes. Always surprises be when a hot dog seller doesn't have the the 4 main requests--catsup, mustard, relish, onion. Food came out fairly quickly but she dropped it off and then was off to drop off another, picking up their payment from me last. The 3 items was $14 plus tip. The dog was longer than the bun but extremely salty and not cooked through. The bun was dried out and cracking. No pickles. Onions weren't diced but strings, awkward on a dog. Onion rings tasted great but the "crumbs" in the box tasted like fish--so people allergic to seafood might be wary of anything fried in the same oil. The shake was super thick so that the straw did not work, but no spoon included. It was only mixed on the top half, the bottom have was straight vanilla. It was not pleasant trying to eat it by pouring the cup at a tilt and letting the pile plot at your face. I think you get the total picture. Not an enjoyable meal. the way others love this place it may be a case of choosing the wrong things, but the service was off today as well

    Special for the month.  Country fried steak mashed potatoes, green beans. And rice and a roll for only 795.

    This place is such a gem! My family thoroughly enjoyed a Father's Day dinner here and though they…read moredon't take reservations, we were able to be seated quickly. They were steadily busy throughout the evening so a wait is possible if you were to arrive at peak time. The setting is casual and in an old house- hence the name. If you ask to be seated in the back room, you'll have a view of the lake. The servers were very friendly and efficient. Food and drinks were prompt! We shared the onion loaf to start and had a variety of dishes around the table from steak, lobster tails, grouper, scallops, and the multitude of accompaniments. Everything was cooked beautifully! Especially the scallops. That was probably my favorite since they melted like butter in the mouth. I also enjoyed the hush puppies that were served with every main dish. Bonus points for the fact that many of the dressings and sauces are made in house. Since it was an occasion, we had some chocolate cake for dessert which didn't disappoint. The cake was rich and fudgy. My dad is a regular so I am definitely sold. The man is a critic and if he is impressed, I know something must be good! I was also impressed and can't wait to come again.

The atmosphere was great, and for the most part, the food absolutely delivered. To start, the crabcake appetizer was fantastic, and the clam chowder cup was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. For our mains, the power greens salad, with chicken and maple salmon were all beautifully prepared and delicious. The only hiccup of the night was the rice that came as a side with the salmon--it was unfortunately quite dry and lacking. However, our server handled it perfectly and quickly brought out a baked potato substitute instead, which was excellent.

We ordered the gator bites (18,50 dollar) ... hugh portion.

Total of the bill: 116.63 dollar.

    Awesome Local Florida Seafood!…read more When I first started eating from this food truck they used to serve fries with the protein. Since the accident with their truck and they have been using the smaller trailer truck they stopped serving fries. Instead they replaced it with 4-5 Hushpuppies and a small sauce container of coleslaw. To me its not worth buying the plates without the fries because you feel its less food for the price you pay. My favorites are : Crab bites / crab cake balls. They increased the price to $10 and you only get 5 pcs now. Apparently the size is bigger than before. The new size is golf balls size. Fried Shrimp / you pretty much pay $1 a shrimp. You get about 10-11 shrimps per plate. They are huge shrimps. This costs about $11. Fried Grouper Sandwich / this is my favorite when it came with fries. Because I don't eat the bun - I eat the grouper like fish and chips! The grouper is huge! And tasty! It is one of the popular item on the menu! The cocktail and tartar sauce and the coleslaw are house made. To me the blackberry lemonade and coleslaw tastes like publix. I only follow them to grab eats when im craving but since they stopped serving fries I slowly decline following them nowadays. The cod fish and chips most of the time the fish is tad overcooked .. and no more fries! So I stopped ordering it. As much as I hate to not support the locals .. until they bring back fries in the plates, I wouldn't support as much anymore.

Stopped here on a Sunday afternoon right after visiting one of my favorite breweries in the area. Had never been here before and didn't know what to expect. Looks can be deceiving, because from the outside the place didn't look inviting. In fact as I was entering the patrons who were leaving were jokingly asking if I was afraid to go in. Well, challenge accepted. The place wasn't as diverse as I'd like, but there was a good mix of people. There was a guitarist playing live and once I was seated the servers, both of the whom were outside, made me feel more than welcome. In fact, it was the best service I have had in quite a while. I was expecting much less and I got way more than I could have imagined. We sat outside. When you enter, there is a bar right there to you right and as you walk in and around there are tables on the outside deck. Once you get to the back, that is where the entrance is to the inside bar. And just as a footnote, the bathrooms were clean which was an awesome surprise. Ordered oysters, 12 dressed and steamed, can't remember what they called them, but there is definitely a picture and 1/2 dozen raw. They were very good. Also ordered some wings, which were both breaded and fatty. Didn't like them and they were gracious enough to remove them from the bill. Also ordered steamed shrimp which were awesome. For drinks we had a blue martini special drink and I had $1 Narragansett specials which is a really great beer. I had 2 and felt really guilty about having a great beer at such a cheap price. I know why it was on special, because it tasted like it was almost ready to go, but it wasn't gone and it really hit the spot. Suffice to say, I will be returning.
