  • 3/5 Nathan Bonar (. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun, classic American chain-style drive in burger place. Very reminiscent of BurgerMaster in its style. The shakes are a tad overpriced but the low cost of the burgers makes up the difference. Unfortunately, the low cost of the burger is reflected in it’s quality. The burger was actually pretty bland and the bacon was mediocre at best. Overall, it was a bit disappointing but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Very friendly and helpful staff who were more than willing to help me customize my burger. Convenient location just off the highway and next door to several inns and hotels.

    Two thumbs up from my fast food loving kid. Very affordable. Smaller portions (I liked that). Really enjoyed the bbq burger and the waffle fries. Extra thumbs up for having hot tea and coffee. Fun place to come to. We dined in, but want to try the drive-in next time.

    This is a good old fashioned burger joint. I enjoyed a Saturday night dinner with my family of four. The meal including tip was approximately $35. There is an order and eat in your car and a dine in option. The restaurant is clean enough. The young staff was kind and courteous. I would recommend this restaurant.

    Funky drive-in diner! 50's vibe, complete with music. Standard drive in fare food wise. Plan to spend about $12-15 per person if going for a meal. Food quality is solid. Lots of options for kids and adults. Waffle fries are a must have! Good car hop service. Neat experience if you're in Bellingham.

    This is a fun place to come grab a burger and shake and share stories with a friend. Waffle fries are cooked well. Kids get a combo served in a convertible cardboard car topped off with a tootsie roll pop. Very special place. Thank you.

    This place is SO hard to beat!! The food is incredible and the milkshakes are some of the best I have ever had. I especially appreciate how their prices (though not stagnant) are not unreasonably high! Compared to other diners/drive-ins in WA nowadays, Boomers is very affordable, and I appreciate that about them! I've been coming here since I was a kid and will continue to come here every time I'm in town!

    Came from Vancouver BC while they had their promotion and celebrating an the anniversary, and just returned yesterday. Boy this place rocks, I had swiss mushroom burger with waffle fries and both delicious. Obviously not the best burger in my life but decent enough burger and the waffle fries had enough crunch to them but still soft inside. Great value for the price. I wish I live closer!

    Cute little place. Menu's hard to see, so take your time looking it over. Had the Baby Boomer Burger with bacon. So Freaking Good!

  • 5/5 Robert R. 4 months ago on Google
    We had fish and chips along with a Vegetable Burger. Not the usual 50's order but tasty and fresh. It's been years since I've had a Root Beer Float. Boomer's was classic.

  • 5/5 George J. 4 months ago on Google
    Classic drive in style burger joint with car service and inside seating. Great menu, but their “Boomer burger combo #1” is the best. Great burger with waffle fries and a hand made shake.

  • 5/5 HIKING V. 11 months ago on Google
    Classic drive in with affordable well made burgers. Service was quick and the burger was so good the first time we came back for a second one after dinner the same day. Unfortunately the dinner rush and/or staff change contributed to the creation of a significantly inferior burger as opposed to the one we had during lunch..... So maybe get there before the rush. Sweet potato waffle fries were killer.

    What the hell is this about? Not only overcooked black burgers, but, dog slobber sauce anyone? They let animals in thier resturant!! Wasn't pleasant when customers were slipping and sliding over disgusting dog slobber. Side of dog hair, anyone? I know I'm not coming back

    Wow a type of burger joint we haven't seen in awhile since you moved up north greasy spoon yes great quality food yes good old 1950s early '60s music yes what can I say it's a slight Drive about 20 minutes away from our place but we'll be back!

    I love burger joints like this. Service was good and prompt at the car. It took about 20 minutes for our food to come but the place was busy. We had two cheeseburgers and waffle fries. As soon as I got out of the parking lot I grabbed a fry and it was ice cold. Then both burgers were cold. They might be good hot but not very good cold. I did have a shake and it was top notch.

  • 5/5 Laura W. 1 year ago on Google
    Boomers drive in is an old fashioned burger joint with car hops who serve you at your car window. Excellent onion rings and delicious burgers. Top notch shakes too. We come here anytime we are in town visiting family. Reasonable prices. Only took about 15 minutes to get our food even though they were pretty busy. Highly recommended place to go eat.

    Great 50s burger place with reasonable prices, portions, speedy service and delicious food. Their waffle fries are just right - not too salty and very fresh. I also enjoyed their blackberry malt.

  • 3/5 Taunna J. 1 year ago on Google
    They've changed over the years and the fanfare is really only the retro look of the place. They've lost the fun tasty energetic experience over the past few years. Perhaps the economy has killed the vibe. The food seems to taste a little more like the generic fast-food you get anywhere. It just doesn't seem to offer the previous comfort of Boomer's once destinct taste. It's still a great meal to have if you're in that area - it's just not the awesome Boomer's Drive In that it once was. It used to be worth the drive from out of town 'just to have lunch' at Boomer's. Now we only stop by if we have a reason to be up in that area to begin with.

    Food is great except the Fish and Waffle fries we’re way to salty, other then that the burger combo was delicious omg ❤️

  • 5/5 S K. 1 year ago on Google
    Original Drive-In that brings back memories from your childhood. The food and service are outstanding. I've sampled several different items from their menu and never been disappointed. They have all the typical drive-in fair but you can also get salads, fish and chips and more. The prices are very competitive as well. I highly recommend boomers the next time you're in the mood for a great burger and a shake.
