    I was so excited to go here because my grandparents used to take me to the Snowhite on country club all the time as a kid. This was a pretty disappointing visit. There was only one young guy working but no line. I stood at the window for more than 5 minutes and saw no movement inside until I saw him walk in from outside, look at me, and then walk back into the kitchen area. He finally came out and took my order and was very friendly. Everything just continued to spiral downward after that. We waited 45 minutes for our food. Three other customers came and left before our food was done. Another customer left without ordering because he stood at the counter for 15 minutes without being greeted. When we finally got our food, it was sad. The fries and onion rings had a great crunch, but tasted like dirty oil. My pastrami burger tasted just like my fiancé's cheeseburger- no pastrami flavor. The special sauce tasted like mayo with a splash of ketchup and a tiny bit of relish. It needed onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and much more relish. Fosters Freeze isn't far and the prices are the same ish but the food is so much better.

    Love at first bite! Snow White Drive‑In is a classic. The burgers have that nostalgic, old‑school chargrill flavor that's hard to beat. We also got chicken tenders which were not bad at all! The BBQ and thousand island sauce tied it all together. The fries, though thin, are golden and crisp, a perfect sidekick to any order. Service is fast, friendly, and genuine--these folks clearly care about getting it right. The outdoor patio adds that charming drive‑in vibe, ideal for a casual date night or family outing. If you're in Lodi and want a throwback meal done right, this is your spot. Can't wait to come back!

    We had spent a few hours kayaking on Lodi Lake and were starving after...This was right across the street and not busy at the time. Talk about the "way back machine"... this reminded me of a burger place in a small town I grew up in. It was fun and the food was good. Look, it is a small funky burger place...it is what it is and we enjoyed it. The crinkle fries were delicious, my grilled cheese was basic but that is what I expected and my husband's hot dog hit the spot. The butterscotch shake was such a treat!!! We noticed at least three sets of locals that came in and the servers seemed to know who they were and had their orders ready. It was a fun place to go for a bit of nostalgia and a great shake. We would defiantly go back next time we are at the lake.

    1950s hamburger drive thru stands are a blast from the past. Not alot of the genuine structures exist anymore. The allure is real for me. So when I happen upon one, I'm apt to stop on in unless it's really icky looking. Sno-White Drive In on West Turner Road, in Lodi, CA, was not the icky at all. The burger and taco was yummy. It didn't hurt my tummy. The cashier was a delight. Super friendly. Hmmm, she may have been the owner. Anyways, the food came out quick and fueled my soul, put me in a happy mood to continue on my weekend local backroads road trip. I got a taco. It's ground beef served in a house made tortilla. The tortilla size is larger than street taco. They crisped up the tortilla on the flat grill, I liked that. The taco was filled with ground beef, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese (2 cheese blend), and cilantro. They offer packets of taco sauce. The meat had hints of cilantro cooked in it. But it wasn't strong enough to overpower the flavor. I'm not a fan of cilantro. With that said, I still totally dug the taco. Yum! Stellar. Plus the price was $3.25. Bargain. The fries were thick cut and came out hot. Yes, they're frozen, not fresh cut. I have no issues with that since they were tasty. A small order was $2.99. Hubs had the cheeseburger combo $11.99 with drink and fries. $6.65 just the cheeseburger. The burger fixings were fresh. The burger came out hot. The patty was mostly likely frozen but not a bad quality. It tasted good. No complaints. Right now are winter hours. There are a few tables under an awning. The tables and patio was super clean. The cleanest hamburger stand I have ever seen. The parking lot was paved, easy to maneuver about. The neighborhood was safe and not sketchy. The place has no public restrooms, typical of hamburger stands. But Lodi Lake park is across the street, there are public restrooms there. I didn't utilize it though. Also there are shopping plazas with anchor stores not far away. History Lesson: A bit of history, Sno-White Drive In chain was created in Stockton, CA, in the early 1950s. By the late 1960s, they were franchised and California had 200 throughout the state. The franchise no longer exists. This Drive In opened in 1959. A few blocks away is the General Mills cereal factory which opened in 1940 and shut down operations in 2015. Lodi Lake is across the street from the Drive In.

    There were two employees working. The lady who took our order was high or on something, she was talking slowly and her head was unnaturally folding towards the counter. It took us 5-7 minutes to ordered 2 burgers, 1 corndog, and a milkshake because of how many times we had to repeat ourselves. We were there last customers of the night. There was one family who ordered before us. The family before us got their order after 45 minutes. After that the diner lights went off. We walked over to ask and they didn't make our order. We paid cash for our order and asked for a refund. My dad spent the next 3-4 minutes repeating to the same lady who took our order that we paid cash. Finally we got the refund. While we wasted our time waiting for our food the other guy who was working there was outside cutting the bushes for 30ish minutes. The sprinklers were on and his jeans were wet from his knees down. He came back in to make the order before ours. Honestly, they had bad service and we had an horrible experience here. DO NOT COME HERE !!! The wait time for the food was unbelievable!!!!!!

    Snowhite Drive In is an old fashioned burger stand that serves your typical burgers and fries, as well as a number of other items, and ice cream. I always get the turkey burger and curly fries. They've been pretty good at getting my order right so far. I recommend calling in your order before coming to pick it up, which will reduce wait time. Note that they only accept cash, so come prepared.

    Delicious

    I tried this place out and from what I've tried was the double cheeseburger which was very good, their tacos were "ok" but nothing to get excited about. It probably gets really busy here during the summer since it's right across the street from Lodi Lake. I will come back again to try some of their other menu items!

    Wonderful throwback back to simpler times ! Burger and fries were tasty! Nice stop to pick up food to take to lake Lodi park right across the street.

    Onion rings really good. Burger was your basic burger, frozen patty. If served fresh patties this would be 5 stars. Tenders were tenders, your average frozen tenders. They were good. Fries served hot. Served was good, friendly. Bring your patience as service can be slow. Overall nostalgic drive-in.

    The food isn't what it use to be. Nothing unique about it anymore. Price point is way too high for lack of flavor. The service was good.

    Wow. SQZ Burger has been open for nearly three years in Lodi and I never noticed it. I know I've…read moredriven past it many times, but I guess their signage is too modest compared to the huge "IDOL BEER WORKS" on the other end of the building. I figured it was just another iteration of the original (now long gone) Squeeze Inn in Sacramento, and I was right. I don't think the various locations are franchises, but are more likely independently owned, and the quality varies from location to location. The one that used to be in West Sac, for instance, was terrible, which might explain why it's been gone for years. And the mid-town was also a resounding MEH, and also gone. There's nothing at any version of Squeeze Inn/Burger that I want more than just a basic Squeeze (or in this case, SQZ) with Cheese, though. I don't want a taco, nor a BLT, and especially not chicken strips. I want that which made the brand famous. A cheeseburger with all the traditional toppings and a cheese skirt just dripping cheese grease off it. SQZ Burger delivers the goods. The cheese skirt was just the right size, not too big, not too small. At one point in my life I would have said that there's no such thing as a cheese skirt that's too big, but a couple of years ago I had a cheese skirt that was so big that I felt sick afterward from all the cheese grease! In addition to the just right amount of cheese, the burger had lettuce, tomato, pickles, red onion, and a healthy schmear of mayo and mustard. Damn near a perfect burger. The owner was running the register on my visit, and when she brought my food out, she asked if I wanted a side of ranch. I'm the kind of guy who would drink ranch dressing if I could, so of course I accepted. I didn't even ask - It was nice of her to offer! There's a throughline from the original Squeeze Inn on Power Inn Road to SQZ Burger, too. The father of the husband half of the H/W ownership team owned the original location. Brandon and Katie ran the Galt location for several years, and have now brought the goodness to a Lodi brick and mortar spot. I'll definitely be back.

I had the western bacon cheeseburger with fries and a strawberry shake. These burger was full of flavor and BIG! Not sure exactly how they make their fries, but they're amazing. And my strawberry shake was good also. We had about 45 people all land at the same time, and SQZ was able to quickly get us all served in short order. I do love the vibe of both SQZ & IDOL. It was a nice little drive both ways with an epic food stop in between.

We've been wanting to try this spot for a while, and since their other location is closed in Sacramento on Tuesdays, we finally made the trip to Lodi and wow, it was absolutely worth it the wait and Abdul that helped us was cool. He had a good sense of humor. We were coming back from Monterey and all of us were hungry. We ordered quite a feast: (3) chicken tikka wraps without lettuce 8 piece chicken tikka 8 piece chicken malai 6 regular naans + 1 garlic naan Tandoori fish order Tandoori chicken pizza Chicken tikka masala rice plate Every single item was flavorful, mouth watering, and cooked perfectly. The chicken tikka and malai were tender and packed with flavor. The naans were soft and fresh, and the chicken tikka masala rice plate had that rich, comforting sauce that was creamy smooth you can't stop eating and dipping your naan into. The tandoori fish was a standout smoky, well seasoned, and tender. They give a lot of meat inside the wraps. The tandoori chicken pizza... let's just say we couldn't even wait to get home. We ate a slice in the car because the smell alone was too tempting. That's how good it was. We took everything to go, the quality was top tier! You can tell they care about their food and flavors and wanting their customers happy. Abdul kept letting us know the status of our order and took care of us with chutney and ranch. If you've been thinking about trying Smokey Grill, don't wait.... this place delivers on every level! Ask for Abdul, he is down to earth nice guy. 5 stars!! Thanks Abdul!! Photos are attached

Overall, I say if you're in the mood for some middle eastern grub, then this is the place for you

Bad: Their "Kobe" burger was $29 or so and was a good portion size. The problem? Lacking any kind of flavor or seasoning. The beef was flavorless. The stroganoff was a good portion size but again it was severely lacking in the seasoning department. Good: Those who ordered the corn soup and the porcini mushroom ravioli enjoyed them. They especially enjoyed the sauce from the ravioli. The desserts overall were enjoyed by the table. The sticky toffee pudding, while not as rich as we are used to, was still relatively good; soft and moist enough. The dark chocolate oblong with mango passion fruit was enjoyed by everyone too. The interior remains unchanged; like a classy London gastropub. Service: communication is key. Where they dropped the ball was that we mentioned on the reservation that we were there for Father's Day and prime rib, which they do on Sundays. As you walk in you even see the sign for the prime rib special. We sat down and the server mentioned that there was no prime rib this weekend. I had even chatted with them on the reservation app and they made no mention of this. We could have gone somewhere else had we known in advanced. Our server was relatively nice too.

They're very smooth, eggs were cooked perfectly and the touch of bacon was just right. It does come with a small helping of mixed greens topped with pickled onions. The pork schnitzel was crispy & crunchy due to the breaded pork loin, came with pickled onions, slaw and the chipotle aioli sauce. The sauce does have a bit of a kick to it but it wasn't too spicy, well, at least for me. My salad was very good too. It was colorful and had an interestingly tangy dressing on it. It paired well with the sandwich. One was spicy and the salad was tangy but refreshing. My friend also ordered the pork schnitzel with beef tallow fries. I tried some of her fries and they were thin but still crispy. Overall the food at West Oak Nosh was so good and delicious!
