    #5 with grilled onions
    Jenn S.

    First time here and definitely would be back! This place was packed, but we were able to find parking under the carport. We were confused at first on how to order, but a worker was quick and came to our window to take our order. Ordered the #5 with grilled onions, tater tots, french fries, and Dr Pepper. Everything was delicious! Great price. The tater tots and fries were so crispy. Delicious.

    #5 !

    Always great! Everyone should try the special and tater tots. Old school Dallas drive up.

    No.5 Special /w grilled onions

    Was in the area and saw this place had good reviews so I stopped by for the usual combo - burger, fries and shake. I was greeted within a few minutes and the waitress was very accommodating, no complaints there. The retro vibe was a nice touch as well. The interesting thing with this place is that the food is pretty mediocre while being extremely cheap. You can get a whole meal for less than $10 so I'd say there is good value here. But prices aside, I'd rather have a burger from a fast food joint. The quality just wasn't there for me. If you want extra bang for your buck, this is the place! Just don't expect anything fancy!

    I had gotten a number 5 special, a grilled cheese and tater tot's with cheese for a quick snack, everything was delicious and came out fast, the service was awesome, definitely coming back many times after this!!

    Apparently this was the first drive in burger restaurant! You stay in your car when you drive up, and a staff member comes up to you to take your order (pretty quickly). You aren't allowed to bring lawn chairs, but you can sit in your trunk to eat if you don't want to sit in the car. I was surprised to see that the prices are still quite cheap, $5 ish for one burger. The burger was quite large and filling and the fries and tots were very crispy. FYI- you can sub your raw onions for grilled onions for free. I would come again!

    Cheeseburger all the way & fries

    Keller's delivers a classic drive-in experience that's hard to find these days. Covered parking keeps your car shaded, and the staff is attentive to every vehicle that pulls up. As soon as I parked, a server came right over to take my order, and just a few minutes later, she returned with my cheeseburger and fries, friendly service all around. I ordered my cheeseburger "all the way" with grilled onions. While the burger was just average and the fries were decent (smaller portion size which is what I was hoping for), the price point is excellent, and the nostalgic drive-in experience more than makes up for it. Being able to order a beer right to your car is pretty awesome and adds to the fun vibe. Definitely worth a visit for the classic experience!

    Cheeseburger

    I really wanted to like Keller's, especially with all the nostalgia and hype surrounding it -- but unfortunately, it was a huge letdown. The burger was the biggest disappointment. The patty was so thin it barely registered as meat, and what little I could taste had absolutely no flavor. It was dry, bland, and felt more like a topping than the main part of the burger. The bun was basic and didn't do anything to elevate the experience, and the cheese (if you can call it that) added nothing but an oily texture. I expected something classic and crave-worthy, but it just felt like a cafeteria burger that somehow cost more than it should have. For all the talk about Keller's being "cheap and old-school," I was surprised that it wasn't even that affordable. Whataburger, which is often brushed off as "fast food," is actually way better -- more flavor, more substance, and at least you know what you're getting. The atmosphere felt outdated, but not in a charming or retro way -- just run-down. Maybe it's a place people love for sentimental reasons, but if you're going for the food alone, it's not worth the trip. I wouldn't go back. There are way better burger spots in DFW.

    Double meat burger (No.8) with fries
    Annette N.

    Love it!! It's the retro Sonic-meets-Cars(the movie) for adults! You pull into one of the parking spots, and the waiter comes to you to your car and order!! Amazing concept. Fast service even with many cars in the parking lot. First time here and it was a relaxed experience, food was filling. Did the double meat* burger with fries and lemonade. Would come back for a comfort, American meal!

    Do they have turkey burgers?

    Pretty sure that they do not have a turkey burger.

    Are the hot dogs beef?

    They don't serve hot dogs on Northwest Hwy

    Can you serve Plant based veggie patty? Veggie Burgers? Vegetarian options?

    No. They can make a veggie burger with just veggies (no meat)

    Can I order ahead by calling?

    No ! You need to be there. For us, almost took two hours to wait, order, wait and eat.

    I do not have a car and want to visit. Is there any indoor seating? Can I get a burger to go?

    There is no where to sit inside.

    Do they serve regular buns?

    Yes you can ask for bums without poppy seeds. See the picture I posted of the menu board today

    Do they have a vegan burger? If it's the Impossible burger, that would be awesome!

    Nope, they only serve meat burgers.

    Do they serve beer?

    Yes

    Are you still outlawing motorcycles?

    Yes, they are. They turn them away no matter what they want to order. In many cases they have even said, "leave now or we will call the police!"

    Chip's Old Fashioned Hamburgers is an old school hamburger joint that is a landmark in Dallas. You…read morecan get an poppy seed bun burger and shake with a large side of Dallas history. The neighborhood may continue to change around it, but Chip's remains the same. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Chip's has an old school, nostalgic feel. The restaurant has an iconic sloping roof with a yellow outdoor exterior and a big green sign with its logo. Inside, there are plenty of booths, a bar, and even outdoor seating. Chip's has grown and expanded over the years but to me that adds to the nostalgic charm. 1 Star. Service - Chip's may have invented counter service. Upon entering, you look at the menu posted on the wall and place your order. You'll get a number (or they'll ask for your name), and you grab a table, and when your food is ready it comes out. Fast, efficient, and the staff was super friendly. 1 Star. Food - Chip's is known for its poppy seed hamburger buns. While it's pretty and tasty, the most important part, the patty, is pretty average. Honestly, there are many other great burger joints in Dallas. On the other hand, the fried onion strings are a must order for your side. While I wasn't a fan of the burger, the fried onion strings saved my meal. The Oreo and Fresh Banana shakes were also a nice cold, creamy, sweet ending to my meal. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Yes. I hope Chip's never changes. The restaurant has an iconic look, it's part of Dallas history, and the staff is great. 1 Star.

    Honestly a pretty good solid hamburger. This place was refreshing on our trip to Dallas because it…read morewas "normal". No pretentiousness or snooty vibes. Just straight up classic counter service and I was happy for it. The reason I take off one star is because I ordered the turkey burger, but when the chef brought it out he said "here's your chicken burger". So I'm not actually sure what I ate, but I'm also okay with that. It's kinda like a pick your path you know? Anyway I'd definitely go back. Super tasty and the bun was great. The fries were great. The fried pickles were great. Just vibes and love.

We ordered the fried mushrooms to start, and they were so hot that one of us severely burned her lower gums on them. Seriously! A prescription from the dentist was sought; mea culpa but damn. Once they were less volcanic, they were good. We split a burger with fried onions, and it was dry. The meat was overbooked, the bun was over toasted, and the whole thing needed plenty of beer to go down smoothly. The fries are fine, and we did appreciate that they had some steamed broccoli on the menu. Our daughter was happy with her kids cheeseburger meal, and she did like the chocolate-caramel malt shake she scored at the end. A main reason that we're landing on three stars is the ice cream situation. One of us ordered a soft serve vanilla, and nobody told her that the machine was down, so what she got instead was a cup of half melted Blue Bell soup...are you kidding! Thanks for the prompt refund, but letting your customer know what the situation is in advance goes a long way. So, we tried it. Add a notch to the Dallas belt. We wish them well, but we won't be returning. There are better burgers in DFW.

I ordered the turkey burger along with sweet potato fries. Unfortunately, I was brought regular fries instead, and neither the fries nor the burger really matched my personal taste preferences. That said, food is subjective, and what didn't work for me may be exactly what someone else enjoys. The service was okay overall, and one thing I did appreciate was seeing people genuinely interacting and talking with each other. In a world where everyone is often glued to their phones, it was nice to see a place that seemed to encourage conversation and connection. While my meal wasn't a favorite, I can understand why this place attracts a crowd. I'd still recommend giving it a try and deciding for yourself, especially if you're looking for a casual burger spot with a busy, social atmosphere.
