Park your cholesterol counter at the door and dive in! Scenic Drive In is a great local burger joint and totally worth the calories. The Knockout Burger is a must have. Shakes and onion rings are a highlight as well. Consistently good. read more

Last night I grabbed a to-go order from Scenic for dinner for the first time. It was a mixed bag, the whole order. The chicken sandwich was the best of the sandwiches, even if it did have the palest tomato I've ever seen on it--a crime since we're in tomato season here in the valley! The fried mushrooms were the best of bunch for sure. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The fries were okay, but they're crinkle cut (objectively the worst shape). The cheesesteak was pretty terrible. It was really burnt and lacked in flavor. I would NOT order this again. It's probably one of the worst ones I ever had. It does not hold up against east coast ones for sure. Do not recommend. All in all, a pretty middling experience and it'll be a while before I give them another shot. read more

Yelp says they're open. Decided to visit today and the establishment is not open although posted business hours say they should be open. Waste of time and gas driving over there dealing with traffic and construction. read more

Okay, I was recommended to come here for lunch for the knockout burger. I also ordered fries and onion rings. I always start with the side dishes to catch the vibe of a place. Onion rings were burnt and fries weren't crispy. Bad start. But like I said, I was recommended to get the burger. And that was fire. Tasted like a nice homemade burger - juicy, full of produce and the addition of jalapeños was excellent. Burger itself is top tier, everything else is meh. read more

The knockout burger is amazing!! My mouth is literally watering as I type this review! The meat is cooked perfectly, then topped with all of the goodies to make your mouth super happy. Plus, I'm a huge fan of crinkle cut fries, so those are an added bonus! read more

Best Burgers in town by far and well priced! Amazing service and came out quick. Definitely would recommend!

I LOVE scenic drive in first I got the fries but they were not salted but my sister found some salt packets in the bag and then we put in on the fries and shook it and it tastes amazing! Then I got a chocolate milkshake and I was so creamy. I also got a grilled cheese and it was just amazing because it tasted almost like a burger because my dad and mom ordered a giant burger to share. Anyways I recommend Scenic Drive IN it also has classic vibes. read more

The place is in such poor condition, it was very dirty inside, we saw some....lets just call them (unwanted bugs) the lady that took our order wasn't very friendly. The food was so disgusting. Will NEVER go back. We ended up throwing all the food in the garbage ( which was almost $30 for the 2 of us) read more

Ordered food from door dash. Got 3 orders of fries, 2 cheese burgers and the knock out burger. All of the burgers were amazing. Excellent taste and not greasy. The jalapeños were perfectly chopped and excellent taste. The fries were the crinkle cut and excellent as well. For being door dash it only took 25 minutes to get our food excellent service. read more

One of the best burger places that's been here for years. Very good burgers and service.

It's been about a year since I've been there because I've been trying to stay away from burgers, but when I did crave one, their burger were the ones I would ask for. I liked it better when they used crinkle fries. They used different ones the last time we went. read more

Scenic Drive In has been around since I was a kid! A staple here in Modesto. One of those "old fashioned" drive ins that take you back; back to simpler times. If you are looking for a burger that is so juicy it drips on your shirt while eating it...search no further! Excellent service, good prices, and fresh food round out the reasons for my 5 star review! Next time you're over on this side of town, stop by...it will take you back to the days of American Graffiti! read more

A local favorite, I used to go there a lot for lunch when I worked in town. Still consistently good. Try the Knockout Burger with the fried mushrooms. read more

The Knock Out is exactly that, a Knock Out. The jalapenos tip it over the flavor edge. Great size and delicious.

This is a staple in Modesto. A great example of a drive in. Do yourself a favor and stop by for a burger and fries. You won't be disappointed. read more

Stopped by for the first time. Burger was great and peanut butter shake was delicious. Valerie was super friendly. I will be back!!!!

Delicious! Fast and Great Service. Such nice people. Great food. They have the best Bacon in town.

Super friendly staff had a great experience placing my order over the phone! They told me 15 minutes I was there 15 minutes later and my food was ready and fresh. I ordered the burger with jalapeños and it was amazing. Love the old-school vibes. read more

I lived in Modesto for 25 years and my wife and I frequently ate here. The Texas Knockout was my favorite. I recently moved to Jamestown and haven't been back to Modesto. All I can say is I miss this place. My wife and I are planning a trip back just for the burgers. The staff was always super friendly and the food was always great. Definitely one of the best Burger Joints around. read more

Driving by I always seen large lines at this place, today I decided to stop, customer service was great, found out a little history from the cashier, I ordered the Dempsy peperjack burger, added bacon, I was filled with anticipation to try their products, drove off about 1mi away, pulled over, took a bite and was taken back, the meat had no flavor, tons of onions lettuce avocado and tomato, which helped but the burger looked like a frozen paddy, (you know when you see one) So i tried the fries and the same thing, (im bit of a french fry connoisseur) the fries also were cooked without basic seasoning, and were on the cold side which was odd being less than five minutes away! The frys also looked frozen, and they appeared be from the bottom of the bag! Being that they open at eleven I thought it odd to have these fries at such low quality! Its a nice nostalgic place, but in my perspective they either need a cook that isnt afraid to season, or get out of the buisness, for $17. For fries and a burger, and to get what I got is plain robbery! I didnt even finish the burger and thats a first for me! read more

The grease needs to be changed, our food did come out fast which was great. The lady was nice. But the food was greasy and corn dog was burnt and had popped open in the middle, the milkshakes was already melted when I got it and didn't last in the cup more than a mile in a AC car. I ordered chicken tenders and fries the chicken were like McDonald's nuggets very small My fries were fried hard so not a great experience on my first time to stop. read more

We were craving some good drive-in food and decided to walk to Scenic Drive-In. I had the Giant Cheeseburger with a small side of fries. I also had a large Orange Cream Shake. Everything was so delicious and flavorful. My wife had The Knock-Out Fries and a large soda. This is my second time coming here and I have been happy on both occasions. This is one of the very few 1950's Modesto Drive-Ins still in existence. read more

Good food, good service, convenient location. An old-fashioned drive-in. That's the ambience.

Somehow I convinced myself that a rough work day, along with the fact that there was a reprieve from the rain, meant that I needed a burger and shake for lunch (don't give me any points for skipping the fries- I typically don't like fries, so it wasn't like I was making a sacrifice.) I've been by this little throwback burger stand many, many times and have been wanting to try it, so today was my lucky day! We both ordered the "Giant Cheeseburger" and a shake- me a caramel, my friend peanut butter. Everything was really good. The burger comes with one bun covered with a thin spread of mustard, the other side with the mayo and the usual suspects: onion, pickle, lettuce and a nice thick slice of a deliciously flavorful tomato. The shakes were good- buyer beware that the large size is really large. All-in-all, a great place to grab a burger. And if you are a veteran (I thank you for your service), show proof of your vet status and get a 10% discount. Good on ya, Scenic for that show of support! read more

Been here a handful of times this year. Not bad for burgers and soft serve. But the fish and chips could use an upgrade. I'll be back.
