    Kevin S.

    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.

The interior of the restaurant was definitely bigger than I thought it would be, with plenty of seating for you to enjoy your food in. The staff was friendly but not all too helpful with reccomendations on portion sizes. I ended up ordering 1/4 pound of brisket and a side of baked beans. It came 2 slices of texas toast. I did like the fact that you had a choice of how your food was prepared, be it sliced or chunks and fatty or lean. The brisket was cooked perfectly and the sauces definitely added to the overall flavor. I was definitely happy with the size of the baked beans side amd ended up finishing the leftover I had of this later that night! It was a nice place to eat at and quick ticket time is always appreciated!

The dry rubbed ribs with their house seasoning pair well with all 3 sauces - sweet,spicy or mustard based sauce. Brisket can be ordered sliced or chopped & lean or fatty based on preference of wanting a cut from the flat or point end of the brisket. We enjoy the sliced, lean brisket but also really enjoy the chopped brisket paired on top of the fat fries w / ranch & jalapeños! The brisket is moist and fork tender, we always order a 1 lb. portion so we have extra for later. The sides are well seasoned & flavor packin', never lackin! From creamy 5 cheese mac to turnip greens & green beans...they don't disappoint! If you're in the area and looking for a local gem then look no further. Come in hungry and leave happy! Just tell Clayton and his family that Cam sent ya.

This restaurant is pretty cool and there were plenty of people already indulging, so our hopes were high. Three of us ordered the chopped brisket plate, with x2 sides. The menus listed the cost at $17.49 which seemed reasonable. We ordered a few appetizers, some drinks and a plate for the kids (who ate at the festival) to split. They were very short staffed with only two people working the floor, one of which was the overworked (as far as we were concerned) bartender who took our order at a table. The bartender did her bartending and the drinks were very good. However, whoever was working the kitchen did a subpar job; and the bill was fouled up. My brisket plate included sides of onion rings and fried okra, along with cornbread. I personally was not happy with my selections, taste-wise. The brisket was fairly flavorless and seemed "old" to me. The onion slices within the rings were watery, albeit the rings themselves were firm (not much flavor however). The okra, again, did not have much flavor to them and I failed to finish them. The cornbread was nothing special either. The others felt their food selections were "okay", but this is my review and I disagreed with them - it could've (should've) been better. Upon getting the bill we discovered that we were charged $20.49 for those advertised $17.49 plates. There also was an added 'Florida Tea' cocktail that was not only not delivered, but never ordered. I recommend you check your bills thoroughly before paying. This may have been an anomaly, but maybe not. As for me personally I won't choose to return here anytime soon, unless I am outvoted by the company I keep.

I had to add a touch of salt to them BUT I'd rather do that than have them overly salty. This burger was juicy and so tasty. The service was incredible. I meant to get the girl's name at the register but I forgot to. She was so pleasant, actually had a personality and didn't act like some others in the service industry who act as if you're bothering them. I didn't see a distracting cell phone in sight. All of the people in our party loved the food and we have some pretty picky eaters in our bunch. We also had the cheeses pickles egg rolls. They were different. I'd like to see a little more cheese in them but I don't know if they are homemade or not. I've never seen anything like those on any other menu before so they may be a custom creation. They were good just could use a little more cheese in my opinion but I'm a cheeseaholic. Adler's has a small indoor eating area. They have a bigger outdoor eating area.
