I was told while I was in the area I had to try this spot. I was not prepared for the line. I called it in, but waited in line bc I didn't know. Needless to say the fries were way cold. The dips were good. read more

The food here is messy as he'll and a bit pricey but overall is darn good fast food. The ugly burger specifically is amazing and a family favorite. read more

Food was what you would expect from any fast food joint. However the customer service is horrible. Went in to have a drink corrected and was questioned about the order and heard comments in the back ground that I did not in fact order what I was trying to get corrected. I was not rude, explained how a mistake had occurred and was made to feel like I was in the wrong because of it. Customer service is a #1 priority to me. If you want repeat customers, I suggest taking some customer service workshops to improve this aspect. read more

Great, old school vibes. Incredible onion rings and shakes. All the employees we interacted with were awesome.

It was a cute place and the food was excellent! I liked that they had a separate line for just milkshakes and drinks. It helped the line to move faster. The only downside was that there wasn't a lot of room for a waiting line because it's right off a Main Street. I will definitely stop and eat there again! read more

Road trip stop for lunch. It is located through town about a mile from the highway. Seemed like a nice change from chain fast food. It is drive through only. They have a food lane to order or a fast lane if you just want drinks. Menu is a sign posted above the drive in. They call you forward when your order is ready. We ordered the ugly burgers. They were delicious but I don't recommend that you eat them on the road. Very full burger and messy to eat in a car. Stop somewhere to enjoy them or order to take home. The curly fries were hot and fresh. Worth the exit for these burgers! read more

Rods Drive-In - a truck parked in front of a building - American Near Me - Havre, Montana

The ugly burger really is good, on the mushy side but the mix of flavor is really done well. There are a lot of condiments on it and it does get a bit much after you keep eating it. I would skip the shrimp basket and shrimp burger though. Also the fries are nothing special. They really need to make the directions more clear in the drive through and tell drivers to stay in their place until they are called. I made the mistake of pulling up before my order was done (car in front was moving, and there was a car in back trying to get to a speaker) and there was some old lady glaring and shaking her head. I assume she's the rude miserable witch stated in Bob S's review. But the younger lady who took my payment and asked me to pull over was nice so it was okay. Would I go back? Probably not. But there really aren't any food options in Havre. I would stick with just grocery shopping at Walmart. read more

Where is the Montana beef? Our mushroom burger was tasteless and tough! The Swiss cheese product the same. The onion rings were over done. What else is there to say? read more

The food is delicious and exactly what I expect and want when I come to a burger joint like this. I love that there are so many options as well. Personally my favorite is the ugly burger and curly fries but honestly Ive yet to have anything bad from the menu and Ive tried just about everything there is at this point. read more

The burger was good, the french fries were way over done, the ham and cheese sandwich had too much butter on it and it smelled funny, so that was thrown in the garbage.The mushrooms were good as well ,but there was no ranch or fry sauce in the bag like normal. Very disappointed. Next time I will just go to PJs or Murphy's pub! read more

GREAT burgers! I eat here every time I'm in Havre. I really like their mushroom and swiss burger and their gems (aka tater tots). Their shakes and malts are great too. read more

My jalapeño poppers were quite delicious, but can you really screw that up? My ugly burger was quite a mess to eat and not that good of a treat. All four of us who ate there were disappointed. read more

Rods Drive-In - Dat der won ugly burgur! - American Near Me - Havre, Montana

Delicious cheeseburger and chicken strips meal! Fries done perfectly. Everything tasted fresh. Glad we stopped here during our road trip to GNP! read more

Great food and drink selection! I've recently been enjoying their grilled cheese and a blue raspberry 7up

This drive-thru is A1. When I had my first meal here, I was like "damn this shit's bomb". I've tried the burgers, chicken strips and different types of fries. I would definitely recommend eating here anytime. read more

This is a great place to go, even if you're just passing through Havre. It's an old style drive through where the left lane is for food and drinks, and you will have to wait until they call you forward, and the right lane has one speaker where you can order drinks only. Generally, if you're getting just drinks, you'll be called forward immediately. You can also go in the door at the back and order at the counter, but whether this is faster than the food lane is unclear. My brother just calls in his order ahead of time and then goes in the back and picks it up to save time. Their specialties are the ugly burger (a burger with lots and lots of toppings) and their flavored fountain drinks. You can mix any of 20+ flavors with any soda or shake. I like the cinnamon coke! You can mix any of them, even the ones that will probably gross you out, like oreo mountain dew... But that's your choice! If you bring your dog, they'll give you a dog treat. This is a nice, extra touch. Also, try their fry sauce (yes, it's probably just mayo and ketchup, but they get the proportion just right), it's the best that I've had anywhere. Rod's is NOT as fast as McDonalds, but that's ok, the food is better (even the fries are amazing), and the experience is much cooler. read more

The locals rave about this place, so I tried it out one evening. There was just one other customer before me, so I was surprised it took them so long to get my order ready, which was just a burger, nothing else. Then I was surprised by the small size of it and the total un-muchness. I guess I was expecting something amazing and awesome, both because of it's reputation and because of the price they charged. The burger didn't taste terrible, but was it worth the money? Nope. All I could think was, "I could have gotten a 5 Guys Burger for that." Maybe the special spice the locals are tasting is nostalgia, because I'm mystified. The Ugly Burger didn't seem any different from any backyard burger you could get anywhere. read more

Another case of food poisoning on 10/31/18 (our friend). If you experience the same thing, call the Hill County Health Dept! Just look at the color of the burger in the pic above. read more

Amazing food !!!! I got the ugly burger and it was.... Mind blowing. The older lady that took my order was very nice and worked hard in that hot kitchen. Two young girls not so much. Will come back here for sure! read more

Rods Drive-In - Ugly burger - American Near Me - Havre, Montana

Seems they only hire Havre's finest people. We've been coming here for years and have always gone out of our way to make a stop at Rods. Like normal we went through the drive through and ordered our food & drinks with one being a large mint shake. The lady working couldn't seem to hear/ understand so we repeated mint a couple of times hoping she should understand. Our family gets up to the window and the worker right away goes " we don't get paid enough to deal with rude people and if my boss was here we wouldn't have been allowed to be disrespected like that". We were dumbfounded and had no response other than "okay". Even after all that we received a heath shake and food order was wrong. Great service , will not ever be going back. read more

This place is solid. You can get a good burger quick here and the sizes are about right for the price. Can't go wrong with the fry sauce.

In town for work this week and everyone raved about this joint, especially the "ugly burger". The ugly burger is basically their version of the big mac. I do have to admit that it is way better than the big mac. The older lady at the window is quite possibly the most rude person that I have ever dealt with at a restaurant. The drive up is odd. You have a series of ordering stations leading to the window and if you don't follow their rules than you will hear about it! I was actually in town a few weeks prior and went to try it out and never did end up eating. I waited for about 5 minutes at the first out order station and after nobody answered, I decided to pull up to the window to inquire. The lady told me that this place was not McDonalds and they do things differently. After my scolding, she suggested that I pull forward, park and put my order in at a window on the other side of the building. As I pulled forward I could hear the miserable witch call me a prick while she closed the window. I am actually planning on going back tomorrow with a friend to show him first hand. LOL I guess the angry lady must be the owner as I could not imagine that the owner would stand for her aggressive attitude towards customers. read more

Rod's is a classic in Havre! We live out of town but every time we visit we make sure we go to Rod's! Their ugly burger is great, but their sodas are what make them special. My favorite flavor is marshmallow, but they have recently started using marshmallow syrup instead of fluff, which diminishes the taste. read more

This place is so good! I love the different drinks and the coke whips are amazing. Then there's the food, sooooo good!!! The only downside is it takes a while to get your food but that's because it is freshly made. This is definitely one of my favorites!!! read more

I just don't get it. I've had two ugly burgers now and I don't understand the hype. I guess I'd be more impressed if I hadn't seen them sifting through a box of frozen gray patties. Bear Paw Meats is just down the street, why can't they use fresh/local ground beef? There's always a line in the drive-through though and a couple people inside. Both times I've had to wait quite a few minutes for my burger despite a large staff in the back. Both Pepsi and Coke products is probably the only thing that sets them apart. I had a small shake once and it was alright. Fries were meh, Sysco variety. If you want some variety in your fried potatoes they do offer "gems", "rounds", and fries. I had to ask but gems are tater tots and rounds are basically Potato Oles. The fry sauce might intrigue some people but it's pretty run of the mill if you've had it before. The last "draw" might be the ability to add flavors to your pop; something a few other places in town offer. I heard a lot of orders for soda with cinnamon but I don't need more sugar in my drink so I haven't tried any. Staff is friendly and prices are okay but really nothing special. read more

This is an ok burger joint. Prices have recently increased which I don't think the quality can justify although the staff is nice and seem competent. read more

When I moved to Havre, people kept telling me I HAD to go to Rod's and get an Ugly Burger. Finally I relented, and boy was I underwhelmed. It was a small burger that didn't fill me up and was so soggy and greasy it just made a mess. I mean it didn't taste BAD, I just couldn't understand what all the fuss is about. I've had many many better burgers. read more

Rod's drive in is one of my favorite "fast food/drive in" places. The ugly burger is fantastic!

First, invest in paint, signage & let folks (from out of town spending $$) know....DRIVE THROUGH HERE (ARROW, OPTIONAL). Just saying....the review on food remains To be seen but a plain burger for a 5yr old shouldn't take this long either..... read more

In town for work, I had an Ugly Burger and cheese fries. Completely underwhelmed. A bland meat patty with a mess of condiments and vegetables added up to a forgettable burger similar to Sonic. The cheese fries just had nacho cheese sauce squirted on them. I probably won't be back. read more

A nice friendly Havre institution!!! I like the old-time drive in feel, and it's on my BF to-do list when we got back to his hometown!!!! Very good, messy burgers!! One major complaint-Rod's/Havre and MT in general didn't get the memo that Styrofoam is bad for the environment!!!!!! If they change this one simple fact of their service I would be willing to eat there more often when in town!!! read more

I ordered cheese fries and an ICED mocha, I received awful tasting cheese fries and a hot mocha. We went inside and asked for new cheese fries, because the cheese tasted old and the fries were soggy...and what they gave me wasn't any better (same problem). We didn't realize the mocha was hot until after we left, but geez guys. Step it up! You guys used to have good food... read more

The ugly burger is the tops. They have different flavored sodas (syrups, I'm guessing) which are a pretty unique thing. I personally loved my watermelon Sprite. The onion rings and fries are damn good, too. read more

This is the best burger place in town. This is the place everyone misses when they leave Havre. Tons of variety for food and drinks, ugly burgers are awesome, and they have great milk shakes. read more

Fantastic! Flavored pops are a hoot and Ugly Burgers are to die for! Only 4 stars because it has no dining area, and the fries are hit-or-miss; they overcook them quite often. read more

A little pricy and a little slow for fast food but the burgers and gems and fry sauce are tasty There are so many types of soda with both coke and pepsi products and so many different flavors of syrups that it is near impossible to decide what to drink. read more

I love the food at Rods. But today I had the worst experience EVER!!!!!! First when I order they kept asking me over and over what I wanted so I kept telling them. Then I ordered my pop. Same thing happen. Yes I can understand it may be hard to hear from the car motors. Then I get up to the window to pay and I was on an important call. A male come to the window so I hand him my money. Then look away and look back and there is an older male standing at the window. I was just getting ready to hang up and I grabbed my bag and this older male says "she's yakking on the phone, we got a business to run" I said what did you just say to me? He said in a loud voice and rude. ITS AGAINST THE LAW TO BE TALKING ON THE PHONE!! I hung up my phone, Then he told me FUCK YOU GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE BEFORE I CALL THE COPS!!!! Shocked at the way I was treated I told him fuck you back!! and left!!!! I did not deserve to be treated this way from him or this establishment!!! I will be looking into taking care of this treatment of customers!! read more
