First trip to Stewart's this season! Pulling in, the place looks clean and well kept. Our server was so nice and friendly. Food came out quickly. This is reviewed for what Stewart's is - quick serve, kitschy kind of place. The root beer was great as always. Nice and cold. It just tastes better in a glass mug for some reason. I tried the grilled chicken sandwich for the very first time ever. I was nervous because the California burger is my go to. I ordered it with lettuce, tomato, and 1000 island dressing. It was better than I expected. It had two thin pieces of chicken breast, which was a decent portion. The chicken was dry. I would order it again if I'm looking for a healthier option. Fries were meh. I don't think the portion size was large enough to share. The flavor was lacking and didn't to make me want to order them again. Maybe upgrading to cheese fries is the way to go. read more

Love the classic car hop places. It's always fun to have great service as the waiters or waitresses run up to the car to take your order. Super friendly and nice. Parking lots well maintain lots of spots to park and eat. Typical Stewart's type driving food... Burgers hot dogs cheesesteaks root beer etc. This one has some pork roll sandwiches as well. Prices for the burgers are a little stiff but maybe you're paying for the nostalgia. I always enjoy the fries and burgers and chili dogs! Root beer is delicious. read more

I love the staff here - they are all super pleasant, giving Chik-fil-A a run fir its money ;). I recently discovered this and I love their bean-free chili cheese dog with their Walking Dead Tacos, which is just LAYERED ground beef with cheese nachoes... none of this single dollop of cheese as a topping, so you get cheese/beef in every bite! I have only been gear twice, but I am going to make it a point to stop in when I am ever in the area! read more

What a fun place. I stopped by with my preschooler on a whim while we were out running errands and he said he was hungry. We each had a burger and shared fries. Burgers were the perfect size for us and the fries were nice and crispy. Service was friendly and my son loved that the food was served on a tray that was hung on the window. My husband was jealous (he has never been to a Stewart's), so we will be back soon so he can try this fun place, too. Please keep doing what you are doing; it is such a cool throwback experience. read more

Founded in 1924 by Frank Stewart of Mansfield, Ohio, this drive in restaurant chain now consists of 30 locations in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. Its classic orange color and parking places around the building where carhops attend to customers is still popular and competes well against the competition. Cheeseburgers and hot dogs are the most popular menu items, with choice for soft drinks, fries and shakes. I was there for a frankfurter to satisfy my periodic compulsion for a steel grilled dog. Loaded with mustard, ketchup and relish (no sauerkraut here), on a soft long bun, I sucked it down in four bites, as I sat in my car with the small tray suspended from my half opened window. It was hot, garlicky, with a solid snap as each bite broke through the taunt skin. Gotta love it, and I did. Service was with a smile, and at $3.49, it was priced right. 5 nostalgic stars read more

This place is awesome! Great food, great family ownership and can't forget the Root Beer!

It may take a while to get your food, but you get plenty of it. And it's very good tasting, you can't beat the root beer. I personally recommend the Scramburger. read more

Food was a JOKE ! Imagine 3rd grade field day Cafeteria burgers on the cheapest buns you can buy locally. I mean yeah the place looks cool you can take your kids there and get them a snack but honestly. You have way better options than here. read more

This place has always been around and it's a pretty simple place and simple menu but they have everything for everybody. They have hotdogs, grilled cheese, pizza, mozzarella sticks, a fish sandwich, a crabcake their California cheeseburger, which is her signature have french fries with her crinkle cut. They are delicious and crispy And perfectly deep-fried they also have some hot cheese similar to cheese whiz that they throw on top and if you order a brown cow, it is your signature a root beer float that's the licious they typically serve it in a frosty cold mug. It REALLY hits the SPOT. Stewart's root beer open for business every day 11 AM to 8 PM only closed on Sundays. They are wonderful and they do car side window service with the tray or if you want to take it to go they'll pop it in the bag for you they even have a cheesesteak which is a little steep in my opinion, but I'm willing to give it a shot and try it. It's around seven dollars but I have to think if it's anywhere as delicious as their Grilled chicken cutlet sandwich or their signature California cheeseburger, i'm sure it's going to be delicious. Tonight my mom has a California cheeseburger. It was grilled to perfection and delicious. I took a leap of faith and got their grilled chicken cutlet sandwich. They are all served on a regular size hamburger bun and they are very filling you can get any topping on them from lettuce, tomato onion, pickle or your choice of American or mozzarella cheese I thought I was still going to be hungry however, I am pleasantly full. I am excited to go back and this summer is going to be the best now to spread the word so we can all meet up at Stewart's root beer are you Gotta do is pull in put your lights on and a nice server will greet you at your car side Tonight, we had the pleasure of dining with Strati. He read our order back to us. He offered suggestions and he was very pleasant and kind. We briefly discussed some items on the menu and he even came with extra napkins, which was helpful because eating in a car can get messy. While we enjoyed our food, we saw one young man come out and swept up. Another young man came out and took out the trash, and they are very cleanly and mindful of keeping the place spotless, which is nice to see. We are Looking forward to many more visits this summer. read more

This is my second time coming to 'Stewart's RootBeer Drive-In'. My first time was in 2000 & I had a fish sandwich and an orange float. It was so yummy. This time 2023, I had a hotdog & fries with an orange float & that was so delicious. Plus the service was excellent & fast paced & the server was so welcoming & nice too. This place is like the 50's so it's nice for a date for brunch or dinner, which ever you prefer. If it was up to me I'd do both lol. Anyways I would definitely recommend this place to everyone I know. Go down to Stewart's & have yourself a 'Orange Float'. You won't be disappointed, trust me it's very delicious & you'll be going back there more often for more & more deliciousness!! read more

The business is closed. There is no one there, equipment is stacked, the sign partially broken.

Me and my wife was so excited we have wanted to try this place for years but they're always closed so I went on Google and got the times there open. So we went today she got the Cali burger I got the chicken fingers and I got bacon cheese burger and onion rings. She got the root beer and I got black cherry soda for our drinks. We both were disappointed with our meals and drinks the food had a nasty after taste and the drinks were watered down. What a disappointed. 1 plus the customer was a plus but that doesn't give them an extra star if there was an option to leave no stars i would read more

We got the cheese steak cali style (with tomato, lettuce, onion, pickles, and mayo), a strawberry shake, and a root beer float. The cheese steak was really good: the cheese was nice and melty, there was a large portion of steak, the cali style had the perfect combo of veggies and I love the finishing touch of mayo on the roll. The root beer float was delicious and refreshing and normally, you can't beat a Stewart's root beer on a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream, however, the strawberry shake did (unfortunately) beat out the OG float for us. It was nice and sweet, refreshing, and had the right creamy consistency you'd expect from the perfect milkshake, it also had slices of strawberry mixed, which I thought was a nice finishing touch. Definitely will be grabbing a growler of root beer the next time we swing back to Vineland, NJ. read more

I should have taken a photo of the "pizza steak". One flat slice of steak meat. Tomato sauce on it. It didn't even look like a pizza steak the cook would even eat. The roll was nice but ruined by the apparent lack of cooking skills here. This place sucks. They should have paid me $15. to eat that bullshit. And I couldn't eat it all. Get out of the food business, the cook would do better greeting customers at Walmart. read more

Lot of history here. Service is good, ingredients are consistent over time. A good option during COVID and while a little pricier than you'd expect, it is a neat throwback. Stick with the basics (fries, basic burger, and a vanilla shake) and you're set. read more

Been wanting to go here since it's around the corner from my house and it looks to have a nice 70s vibe with the drive in service and all. The staff were very friendly but the food was just average. People have been raving about the California burgers but they were really 'just ok.' The patty was very thin, similar to something you may get from a fast food chain restaurant for $1.00, nonetheless it has some flavor. The fries on the other hand tasted like they were soaked in oil. There was nothing flavorful or good about them. They lacked any flavor and had no salt. I wouldn't recommend anyone coming here unless you've never been here and you just want to experience having someone walk to your car and having the food sit outside your window to bring back old memories of your childhood. I didn't try the shakes or root beer in which I hear they're very well known for also. However, my experience with the food items won't have me coming back. read more

Absolutely charming throwback drive in and eat. I enjoyed the staff's hospitality and would definitely recommend this place to any and all that love that retro experience. The food was very well done for what the place is, that's not suggesting it's just ok, far from it. The food is great, especially the crinkly fries, along with chili dog I had-just really good. read more

Everything they make tastes fresh. If I lived closer to this place I'd get it everyday.

This is my all time favorite thing in New Jersey, ever. I started eating here as a little girl and have never gotten over the scramburger. Something about the onions, the ketchuppy flavor, the spices on the ground beef.. all inside of that juicy roll. Wow. They are so delicious and you can't get them anywhere else. My great aunt and uncle used to get scramburgers here back when they were dating in the 1940s. Apparently the place never changed. Go with a black cow and you won't be sorry. The french fries are fresh and crinkly. I wish I could get a scramburger right now.. read more

An American classic, crunchy, smoky, flavorful dog on a toasted bun, perfect, and there no better root beer can be had and all wrapped up in that classic orange bungalow, wow!! Dad would take us to Stewart's before we moved to Atlanta in 1962 and every time I'm back in Jersey, I stop by. read more

This is a place I grew up enjoying as a kid & so did my mom! Home of Stewart's Root Beer & one the last true drive-ins not drive thru! The original owner started making something they call a scramburger ... It's exactly what it sounds like ... Ground beef scrambled up on a griddle. And you can't find these anywhere else in the U.S. They create a pocket in a kaiser roll & stuff it full of delish meat!! You can add onions & ketchup if you want it!! You drive-in to a spot & turn on your headlights to let them know you're ready for service. Not an overwhelming list of items on the menu but the food they offer is enough for everyone to get get something thye like. But why would you come here for anything else but the scramburgers?! LoL I recommend a tall, frosty mug of their Root Beer to wash down the food -- just seems to be fitting on top of the scramburger & great Crinkle-Cut Fries. The food takes less than 10 mins to deliver & they bring it out on a tray that fits on your car window - just like the old movies from the 50's! One thing to note - this is a seasonal joint so come between Memorial Day & Labor Day or else you'll miss out on something great!! I keep coming back year-after-year to get these wonderful one-of-a-kind scramburgers & I'm never disappointed!! read more

I stopped here today out of the blue just for nostalgia reasons. My father would take us here as kids. I didn't even know places like this still existed, they are for sure a dying breed. They still hang the tray for your window. So cool! Pulled up in the spot with the lights on, service was really fast and very friendly considering it was a beautiful day and busy. I ordered a California cheeseburger which comes with a tomato slice, raw onion and thousand island. I also ordered a bacon cheeseburger and fries. The burgers come plain so you need to be specific as to what toppings you want. The fries are simple crinkle cut but cooked to perfection. Let's be clear that the burgers here are very good, but this is not a gourmet restaurant. This is one of those places where you get a good meal for your dollar. Topped the meal off with an ice cold root beer! Amazing!!! Service was great and the food was great. I'll be sure to bring dad over the bridge and treat him to lunch. Solid 4 stars read more

Stewart's always has fast friendly service. Stewart's is a drive in so if you don't like eating in your car this is not the place for you. When you are ready to order you just turn on your lights and someone will be with you in minutes. They have all sorts of classics and they just added a few new products to their menu last year including onion rings and cheese fries. They have the best onion rings I have ever eaten! If you order a grilled cheese be mindful that it comes on a hamburger bun. Most of the servers will tell you that it comes on the hamburger bun though! read more

A classic. My parents got engaged here 40 yrs ago so I enjoyed taking my wife here for the first time.

Stewart's is literally my favorite spot in Burlington during the summer months. The California cheeseburger is spot on with special sauce and chopped onions. Sometimes I get a pork roll and cheese to switch it up and they are soooo good and inexpensive. Stewart's is also the home of root beer floats or black cows. read more

Stewart's Drive-In - Every week all summer long! - Sandwiches Near Me - Burlington, New Jersey

Good ole' Stewart's! Used to goto the one in seaside when I was a kid and was so happy to see this one when I moved to the Burlington area. Just as good as I remember, cheap food, fast service, and a taste of the old times. After reading some negative comment I wanted to share my experience. It's not a 5 star place, obviously. The burgers are 3 dollars, and they taste way better than any McDonald burger I've ever had. Onion rings seemed homemade and tasted great. They've been doing the eat in your car thing way before Covid happened, and know what they're doing! read more

This is a staple in Burlington NJ. They are not open in the winter. You pull up and order from your car. The food is brought to you on trays which go on your windows. Concept is old school but it works here. Nothing special about the food. Small portions. Prices are reasonable. Make sure to get your Stewart's Root Beer. read more

Usually love this place but recently had bad experience. Placed my order by phone and was advised would be ready in ten minutes. Waited ten before I went to pick up. Got there and waited thirty-five minutes before I received my food. Watched cars pull up after I got there and get their food before I got mine. Was just getting ready to leave when my food finally came out. Very disappointed and disgusted by this experience. read more

California burger!! Minute made Cheesesteak!! Fast service!! REAL Rootbeer!! And prices from 1982!! Can't beat it!! Plus dudes be wearing cool machinery to make change!! Window service is really window service!! Figuratively, meal tray is hanging on your window!! read more

Stewart's Drive In Tray Service, or simply Stewart's, as it's know around town, truly is a staple of Burlington. It's a can't miss from Rt. 130. Classic drive in service mixed with AMAZING food. Service is usually fast as well, with the servers always friendly. Cheese California Burger and the Chili Dogs are the best, with a big mug of root beer of course. The ONLY reason that this doesn't get 5 stars, is because it can be a bit pricey for simple fast food, depending on what you get. read more

Stewart's root beer is the nectar of the gods. The way they serve it in that frosty mug...I always want more than a large. The food is yummy, pretty much what you'd expect, SteakUmm like cheesesteaks, burgers, and (my favorite) hot dogs that are fried so they have a little bite to them. The food is always super hot & fresh, you'll have to wait a few minutes to eat your crinkle fries. I've never tried the infamous Scramburger, but the waiter described it to me as a sloppy Joe without the sauce. The grilled cheese is a hamburger bun with a slice of cheese & seems steamed rather than grilled, but my kid likes it. I was tempted to dock a star for them being closed a lot (they're pretty strict on the seasonal thing; seems like they're closed too soon in September, plus closed Sundays & for a random week when the owners take a vacation) but I guess that's not really fair. The root beer makes up for that. read more

Classic spot in Burlington. Food is always good and the young servers that work there are super efficient.

This place is a dying breed of a bygone era. Back in the 50's this was the only place locally to get fast food, long before Micky D's, Burger King etc. The ones in lawrenceville & hamilton square have closed. So wanting their famous root beer i have to drive a bit further. But they are all very similar. Except belle mead nj, they enclosed the counter area so you can eat 12 months a year instead of 5. Their food offerings have always tasted better than the chains. Plus they are a better quality. So you may pay a bit more but think about it, you would want to cause you want the good stuff in your tank. Your kids tanks too. This location is only open in the warmer months. So we must wait until it warms up to get the good stuff. I know they sell their burgers frozen & while they are close by comparison they do not taste as good as the stands version. So hurry up Mother Nature I want a california burger & large root beer. read more

Not sure what happened but the hot dogs were not good. We visited in June 2018. We hadn't been in 2 years or so but the hot dogs are not quality and do not taste like beef. They have a strange aftertaste. The onion rings should be named grease rings. Disappointed and won't be back. read more

Yesterday for 1st time ever, was disappointed. I ordered 2 double California Burgers with Cheese 2 hotdogs and 2 fries. Got the food home and there was only 1California burger. The California burger isthe reason I go to Stewarts. It is an awesome burger. When I didn't get it it ruined the meal. Couldn't go back because it was late. read more

First time stopping! Three 1950's chevys pulled in after me. You knew these couples have been coming here for years. Had a root beer, California cheeseburger and fries. The cheeseburger blows mc donald's away! The prices are so cheap. The wait staff is dressed in white. Awesome experience. Great place to bring kids as they serve you in the car. Real treat! read more

Cute stand, good food, but you lost your stars when you hired that rude waiter. Note to the owner: he was the one with the bigger beard who was on duty the afternoon of July 29, 2017, mouthing off at customers. Give this punk his walking papers and maybe I'll come back. read more

An experience. They hook the tray on your car window and you eat in the car. The guy who serves you looks very retro in his white uniform. I had a California burger, fries and an orange drink. Fries were really tasty. Burger was a little overcooked, but okay. Orange drink was warm and had no flavor. Eating from this tray felt a little awkward and I was afraid my drink--in a real glass mug, not paper or plastic--was going to fall off the tray and shatter. In the end, you're eating in your car which I don't enjoy so much. Now that I've experienced it, I'm not very eager to go back. read more

Back before I became vegetarian I use to eat here so much the California burgers are soo good. After I became vegetarian I would just come to get a grilled cheese or the fries, which are alright, but then they started having the crab-cake burger. I started eating seafood soo I thought i'd try it out. For only $3 it was pretty damn good, and I was there bout a couple times a week again just like I use to be before I became vegetarian. The service is always amazing and nice so it's an all around great establishment. read more
