Burger Bob’s is an old-fashioned drive-in dishing out juicy burgers, crispy fries, and thick milkshakes, all made fresh and worth the wait.

If a road trip takes you through Baker City, make sure to pull off for a stop at Burger Bob’s Drive-In. Since 1960, this no-frills, family-run burger stand has been keeping things simple and satisfying with the kind of food that keeps folks coming back again and again. The Brady family has owned and operated it from the beginning, building a reputation around hearty burgers, fast-moving service, and real-deal milkshakes. There’s no indoor seating here, just a double-lane drive-thru, some of the best comfort food around, and a staff that knows regulars by name.

The food here is downright craveable. Burgers are cooked fresh, served hot, and are never greasy. Whether it’s the signature Super Baconeer stacked with flavor, the Jalapeño Cheddar Burger with a kick, or the towering Monster Double Decker, these burgers pack a punch without breaking the bank. Thin, juicy patties make them easy to eat, and extras like egg, tomato, or bacon are absolutely worth the add-on.

Fries come in multiple forms, and each one is worth trying. Curly fries have a serious fan base, though tater tots and crispy onion rings hold their own.

The potato wedges are hearty, and the deep-fried pickles? Legendary. Just don’t forget a side of extra fry sauce as it’s practically a must.

If a burger isn’t your thing, there’s still plenty to love. The hot pastrami sandwich, grilled chicken, and even the foot-long hot dog have loyal followers.

Tip: While the wait can stretch to 10 or 15 minutes during peak hours, everything is cooked to order and well worth the time. You may want to call ahead to order so it's ready when you get there. Be ready for a long line at peak times however, as this is a popular spot to grab some comfort food in Baker City.

Milkshakes, Floats, And Malts? Yes, Please!

Classic picks like chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry are always a hit, but options like marshmallow, root beer, mint, and peanut butter mix things up. Banana, pineapple, and even blueberry make an appearance, and floats and malts are on the table too.
