I had a raspberry malt fabulous. Onion rings were super crispy and not oily. The cheeseburger was old school was absolutely delicious.

When we went it was a 45 minute wait for food. That's seems crazy but it was the first thing they said so that was nice. Our plans to try the yummy looking onion rings switched to just shakes. Those were out in mere minutes and were delicious. read more

Unknowingly, I went on the last day they were open for the season, and they were a bit busy as people tried to get their last orders before they closed for the winter. I tried the raspberry shake, and it was awesome. The staff is super nice, and I saw them give an older couple their food for free as a thank you for all their patronage over the summer. I thought that was super nice, and not something you see often. The outdoor area was spacious and we were able to find a table with no issues. I will have to come back hungrier next time I'm in the area, as the burgers and onion rings looked incredible. read more

Having a drive-in restaurant in the area at this time of the year is a real blessing. The food very tasty, and the service was fast. It was fun to watch the children enjoy a sunny day climbing the colorful sculptures. I look forward to spending another afternoon there soon. read more

Peanut free!!! Food was fantastic. The person who took our order said that everything is peanut free except the cones are processed with peanuts. She knew right away without even having to look or ask! Amazing! Our food was incredibly good. The grilled chicken sandwich was fantastic- super fresh chicken, and cooked just right! Kid dinner comes with a beverage and a little ice cream cone or cup with sprinkles and animal crackers on top. It was so nice for my daughter because she often can't get toppings on ice cream if there's a possibility of nuts being present. We were thrilled! Atmosphere is so great! There are so many things for kids to play on and there's some sort of bean bag game and frisbee game for the older kids and adults. Shady areas to eat which was really nice. Only downside- cash or check. I had to run to the atm! So come prepared. It was worth it. Especially for my daughter who had a fabulous time. So cool!! read more

Peppermint Twist Drive-In - Menu - Burgers Near Me - Delano, Minnesota

We returned again to the Peppermint Twist. We've now been visiting here for over 6 years. This has become an annual destination visit for us. There are just not many drive-ins left anymore and we really enjoy the Peppermint Twist. This day I decided to try the pork tenderloin while my wife went with popcorn chicken. We also ordered some onion rings and of course a couple of shakes. The pork tenderloin was excellent. Crispy and juicy. Served with lettuce, tomato and mayo. Really good sandwich. My wife said the popcorn chicken was good and that also came with fries. We shared a half order of onion rings which was more than enough. The onion rings were big and crunchy. We always order a peppermint shake and a fresh raspberry shake. Both are delicious. We enjoyed our meal and look forward to returning again to the Peppermint Twist. read more

A unique experience for sure. I still remember how oddly decorated this place was with all the stuffed animals on the roofs and the vibrant pink and green color scheme. The milk shakes are generously sized and are a good value. The onion rings and fries are also delicious. read more

Nice place to hangout and eat. Service was good and quick with quite a few customers there. Burgers were delicious! The onion rings and fries were cooked well and still pretty hot. We topped it off with a delightful chocolate shake! Mmm mmm:) read more

They have a park for the kiddos to play and I was gonna go by without them getting bored! Peppermint twist is a place for the family!

ehhhh. Overrated for food. The shakes are good. The wait can be ridiculous. The food: greasy and really not that good, and the fries aren't fries they are wedges. The onion rings were only ok. Not worth the wait IMO. read more

Peppermint Twist is a gem! The service is always great and the shakes are to die for! Raspberry is my favorite flavor. Sometimes the wait times a bit long for the food but if you're looking for a quick sweet treat, definitely stop here for the shakes! I love the outdoors seating and being able to enjoy the sun and fresh weather. The kids always love coming here because there's lots of things for them to interact with. read more

Peppermint Twist Drive-In - Outdoor seating enjoying the sun and yummy food! - Burgers Near Me - Delano, Minnesota

The owner was incredibly rude while I was parked nearby the bathroom while my child was in the restroom dealing with an upset stomach from medication he was taking from a previous procedure. His aggressive behavior was uncalled for especially after just having spoke to his wife who assured me I was okay to park where I was. There was plenty of room for cars to pass by and I was only parked there for 7 minutes. if you don't have compassion and patience for your customers then I will no longer support your establishment. This used to be a destination for us each summer but is no longer a place I feel comfortable to bring my family and friend. read more

Great atmosphere and wonderful burgers. Lots of room for kids to play while adults finish eating.

This place is only open for the summer months. The shakes are good but the rest is nothing special and too pricey for what you get. $21 for a shake, mushroom burger and onion rings...... read more

The good: - Cute local place. - Good shakes (but I have had very few bad shakes in my life.) - Kids play area. - Didn't order the onion rings but they looked good. - Buns are toasted and buttery. - Decently extensive burger & sandwich menu. The bad: - Overpriced. - The "French fries" are potato wedges/jojos. - The burger patties are tiny and are overpowered by any bun and toppings. - It's a decent wait for food considering the price and food quality. End of the day- if you're there for more than a shake or to let the kids run around, it isn't worth the money or time. read more

Stopped here on our way to see the World's Largest Ball of Twine ;-) Been hearing great things for years about the Peppermint Twist and it didn't disappoint. Service was quick and personable, and food came out pretty quickly even though they warn you that it might not. The burgers were awesome! The half basket of fries was more than two of us could finish, which meant we didn't really need the onion rings we ordered as well. The only glitch was that the rings were kind of bland. I also had a really good milk shake (don't skip this). One other warning, is that there a lot of bees around because of the food. Otherwise, we'd definitely stop in again when in the area. read more

Friendly waitress, burgers were excellent and enjoyed the malts. We were there on Labor Day and it became busy. I heard staff explain approximate wait time before people ordered which was good. Looked like a fun place to take little kids but we didn't get out of vehicle to explore. read more

First of all, great food, the burgers were very fresh, the service is something like I've never seen before. Outside was very nice and felt like I was in a 90s movie intro. read more

Decided to stop here after seeing this place on the food channel some years ago. The milkshakes are top notch. But the food was somewhat of a let down. Everything was very greasy and overly buttery. I'd definitely go back for the milkshakes if I'm ever in the area, but I'd pass on the food. read more

Food is always great especially raspberry shakes. Takeout or eat on the premises. Service is good but always busy. Burgers and fries.

The absolute best shakes ever. Love the peppermint twist!! Raspberry, peppermint, strawberry are our family favorites.

Stopped here for lunch going through town. We were a bit disappointed, as it has pretty good reviews. Cheeseburger was great, toasted bun is a plus. Ordered fries, which were nothing special potato wedges. Guess we should have ordered the onion rings. Ordered a butterscotch shake that tasted like it was made with ice milk and not ice cream. Guess we should have ordered the raspberry shake as that got good reviews. They could use more ice cream creations on their menu. Wasn't too busy and got our food pretty fast. Would make different menu choices if we get back there. read more

Peppermint Twist Drive-In - Building - Burgers Near Me - Delano, Minnesota

Consistently great food!! We look forward to going every year for the atmosphere, the burgers and the malts.

Peppermint Twist was on our summer bucket list. We had brought the kids there many times when they were little, they have a nice play area. This year, now that the kids are in high school, we wanted some good burgers, shakes and a drive-in experience. Peppermint Twist, a family owned establishment, delivered. The burgers are so good, messy and greasy. The shakes are hand spun and chock full of fresh fruit, one of their specialties. We left at dusk, full as ticks, windows down, and happy to have some more family time while heading back to our neck of the cities. We have recommended Peppermint Twist for many years. read more

WOW!!!! such wall kept secret...though the throngs of people that flock there would not say so The shakes are AMAZING. ( Raspberry) the burgers are like something out of yesteryear.The fries are fresh and steak cut so ya gotta eat 'em fast and a half basket is enough for four if you have ordered burgers or do like we do often My grown son and I each get a shake and split fries and thats lunch for two I love the old eat in yer car service. Though I prefer walking up to order and getting the food delivered.You can also park by the side of the road and sit at picnic tables if you bring the kiddos and they can run around and play until the food arrives. ONLY DRAW BACK...there will be a wait...sometimes a LONG wait. SO don't go starving and expect to eat ASAP...its a little shack dishing up a lot of fresh homemade food.Go at a weird time mid week for quickest service and CASH ONLY. read more

Love their raspberry and their butterscotch shakes! burgers are really good too.

The icecream is to die for, you can tell it's homemade. Their Peppermint shake is way better than any other one I've tried before at bigger chains! Can't wait to go back and try other things on their menu, the burgers look amazing!! read more

I wasn't necessarily impressed by the burger or the fries, but I had dreams about that strawberry milkshake. I know that's what they're known for is their ice cream, but I really was not expecting how good that strawberry ice cream would be. The strawberry milkshake was seriously the best strawberry milkshake I think I've ever had. And now I'm itching to go and get another one at my nearest convenience read more

This place is CUTE! It's in the middle of no where, but it's a great stop after the apple orchard. This place is pretty hard to miss too. The building is pink all the way around with bears painted onto it. If you don't want to do the drive-in there's a great little picnic area. If you have kids with you, there's a little playground and a small train they can sit in to eat. The onion rings are HUGE and breaded perfectly, the burgers are juicy with soft buns, and the shakes are just the right amount of thick. The service is a little slow, but it's a smaller environment so you can't expect your food out like lighting. If you're in the area, try it out! read more

I have been wanting to try this place ever since WCCO voted them best diner. I happened to be in Waverly and wanted to order lunch for my staff. I went there and the server couldn't be nicer. She made great recommendations and the wait was about 5 minutes for an order for 8. She packaged everything beautifully and we were good to go. The burger was awesome. The onion rings were the best i have had. Not greasy at all! I am definitely going back! read more

We happened to stop by on the way back home from Twine Ball Days. It's real food! Yes, the pork chop dinner at the festival would have been cheaper, but by golly, after a hot day in the sun it was a real treat to enjoy the raspberry chipotle chicken sandwich under the quiet trees. You could see the raspberries in the sauce, and the chicken breast was actual chicken breast (as opposed to "parts is parts" food). The pork tenderloin was fresh from the fryer, and also very good. Fresh vegetables in the sandwiches. And if you order a shake, keep in mind that the straw is just for decoration--you need a spoon to eat it. The peppermint twist shake had large chunks of peppermint candy (and for me that's also real food). Next time I'm in this neck of the woods, I'm definitely going back. read more

What a cute little drive-in/outdoor eatery. Went here on a Saturday for lunch with the BF. Got the bacon burger dog with grilled onions. So simple yet so good! BF loved his burger too. They serve steak fries, which aren't really my jam, but if you like fat potato-y fries, grab a basket. Great place to relax outside and grab a cheap meal. Neat play area for the kiddos too, if they're in tow. read more

I've been coming to Peppermint Twist since I was a kid, so it has that nostalgia for me considering I live out of state. It is a cash only place, but as they say "we're not a fast food restaurant, everything is cooked to order", and it is. The food really is delicious, a tad greasy, but I like it that way. It's a wonderful place to take your kids as it's designed for kids. They have vegetarian-friendly options as well! read more

This place is adorable and the food is really great. They make it fresh for you so there is a bit of a wait but never as long as they say. The shakes are extremely thick and the burgers are amazing - those buns! Very fun vibe too. read more

Great onion rings. Cute place fun for little kids. Great shakes. Burgers are pretty good. Food comes out quicker than you expect. Nice place to stop at if you are in the area. read more

The only review you need. This is an old family business only open a few short months in the spring/summer. So WAY okay they only take cash. Credit cards cost mom and pops a LOT of money to process so don't listen to others that whine that they need to bring cash. Big boys and girls carry cash. Or know they can grab some at one of the many ATMs nearby. Seems the staff are teenagers with a close eye kept by "ma". Nice work teaching the dying art of customer service!! It is a little more expensive than a shake from Perkins? YES. Is it higher quality ice cream with fresh ingredients? YES. Is it worth it? Oh my YES. Same goes for the food. The CHICKEN BLT is crazy good. You just have to stop. Simple as that. Go for grilled food and must try a shake...or just get some plain ice cream. Taste that difference? Yeah, it's not cheap DQ ice milk! Oh, and yes...it is a little creepy. If you go at sunset, it feels like you are about to be visited by a bloodied clown or that summer camp killer...which makes this place my NUMBER ONE PICK for a car side meal!!!! read more

This place is great! They have delicious food and a great family atmosphere. The servers were very helpful and for most I assume it is their first job. They take cash only, so be prepared. They have a huge play area for kids and my grandchildren loved it! I hope to visit this place every year. read more

I had great memories of stopping at a drive-in at this location for what were claimed to be the best hamburgers when I was younger. We would always stop here on the way to a friend's cabin and I was a fan. I returned to the drive-in more than 25 years later and it appears to have changed from what I remember. What used to be a modest drive-in restaurant in my memories had been replaced by a drive-in with a garish pink color scheme surrounded by a park. When we first arrived I had to think hard about whether my memories were flawed or if the place had changed. When we were finally ready to order, we noticed the signs saying that credit cards were not accepted. We do not carry cash normally, so we had to leave and find an ATM (fortunately not too far away at a gas station, but we had to pay a fee). When we returned, my intention was to get a hamburger, but then I noticed the breadth of the menu and my Iron Law of Hamburgers: if hamburgers are not the most prominent menu item, then don't bother because they likely are not worth the effort. Even though I had fond memories of past hamburgers at this location, I was suspicious that the cosmetic changes to the drive-in suggested that the food had changed as well. This was the line of reasoning that caused me to bow to my Iron Law of Hamburgers and select the Pork Tenderloin sandwich. I was not pleased with my choice. The pork was dry and overall the sandwich lacked flavor. I really had to work to finish the sandwich. The rest of the meals for my family members seemed to be equally uninspiring. read more

Wonderful place to stop after orchard with the kiddos - any age. Thick FILLING shakes - fresh raspberries! Hershey choc shake & peppermint shake was the BEST! Nice shaded area to sit - LOTS of pink! Clean restroom too read more
