• easy to find as its retro, small restaurant with lots of parking space
• drive thru available, just ring their bell for service
• the owner was very friendly & accommodating, he explained the menu thoroughly, gave us free samples of their yummy milkshakes, showed their freshly baked breads too
• if you are not a big eater, just order the 4 oz as its huge!
• the Alberta burger is the simplest one and the list goes on if you want mushrooms, bacon, etc.
• I loved the mushrooms in their burger, so flavourful
• "the works" comprises of lettuce, tomato, onions, ketchup, mayo, mustard
• the burger itself, I find it hard than the usual ones at other restaurants, its just ok
• Expresso milkshake was good, a bit sweet for me despite no added sugar, bonus choco bits at the bottom
• overall: it was an experience, nice staff, set up: mainly sit on bar stools at the counter, pick up your order as they call your number
• Fish & chips: good flavour on the cod but the batter was soaked, didn't turn out to be crispy. The tartar sauce with saffron infused, good!!!
• their Fries: one of the best fries, one of my top 3 in Vancouver lower mainland
Not your burger and fries for $5.00 chain burger quality or price. But if you lived in the 50s drive in days this is your destination. The L.A. Burger is a six oz. burger properly prepared with loads of toppings. Both the quantity and quality of the fries were disappointing. Worth a visit just for the memories.
One of the BEST BURGERS in town!
The buns, patties and fries are all homemade, which is very impressive.
The one I got is the Texas burger and it's a bit spicy 🌶 the strawberry milkshake is also very rich and creamy with fresh fruits in it.
easily the best bacon cheese burger in town. hand made patties. great bun. fried onions.
tried the fish n chips once. the batter got soggy so it kinda sucked but the fish was still kinda saffrony tasting and flavorful.
Went there today and the staff are very friendly and the owner gave me the run down on all their products as it was my first time visiting. I had a bacon cheeseburger and fries and it was very good. I would definitely recommend this place.
I work right by here and one day, we decided to order it as a treat. As bonus, they even delivered! Burgers were good, a little messy but huge and loaded with toppings. Not bad. 3 out of 5 stars
Definitely will go back again. Stumbled across this place, how wonderful! Fresh made buns and cut fries from scratch everyday, they grind their meat daily! The burger was so huge the next time I go back I'll definitely split it with a friend so we'll have room for onion rings or fries. They accept debit or cash, and there is a wonderful shady/sunny yard in the back with well spaced picnic tables so kids can run around but it was quite when we went.
Stopped in on a whim the other day. WOW What a difference from the previous owners.
I had the Alberta with fries. And it was one of the best burgers I have had in quite a long time. Everything was as advertised. Fresh and home made.
Kudos to Bryan and his great staff.
I will be back.
The best ever. I stopped in to see if the burgers were as good as the ones in the fifties (I was there) and I was not disappointed.
The burger and onion rings were probably the best I've ever had.
The owner is a very enthusiastic and friendly guy, and loves what he's doing.
I will definitely be back, again and again....awesome!
Amazing food and great friendly service. Best burger in town hands down!!!

Has Potential But Failed Today. I hadn't been to this drive in for years as my last experience was disastrous. I was feeling for a burger today so decided to stop in and give them another try as it looked like it had new owners.
My order was taken by the owner who was very enthusiastic about the freshness of their menu items (fresh patties, lots of fresh veggie toppings, buns baked daily on the premises, hand cut fries etc). One of the problems as I see it is that the posted menu items are all over the place instead of a simple menu board. It was very confusing so I decided to just order a regular cheeseburger and fries (came with a can of coke) and the total was just under $10. That seemed a little pricey but I was willing to reserve judgement. I'm happy to pay extra for what was promised to be a superior product.
It took a few minutes to prepare so chatted the owner up about upcoming changes and additions to the menu. They are planning a drive up window and will be offering breakfast items in addition to their current menu.
When the product arrived the burger looked enormous and was stuffed with all manner of veggies/condiments. So big in fact that the take-out tray wouldn't close over it. I eyed the fries suspiciously as they looked dark and greasy and in fact turned out to be. It's a shame because they are obviously fresh cut but weren't cooked or seasoned correctly. The burger itself was tasty, albeit a bit much for me. I, too, agree with a previous poster that I wasn't offered a choice of toppings/condiments. Everything that was on there was fresh and tasty on their own but far more than I would have ordered had I realized that there was a choice. The server/owner should individually ask each patron what they would like on their burger.
Also, there was no cheese on my cheeseburger;-) I don't know if he just misheard my order or if it was forgotten.
All in all a little disappointing but not terrible. I'm quite willing to give it another try to see if the fries get fixed and knowing that I can customize my toppings. They seem to have a good selection of ice cream too so I'll bet their milkshakes are great!
.
Great Food, friendly service. Giant home-made burger patties, big fresh buns and lots of fillings. Fries are really potatoes - soo good, onion rings tasty and chocolate shake perfect mixture of icecream, milk and chocolate.

Amazing burgers! They're huge but so good! Everything is home made and the owner is super friendly and there's great customer service!
BEST BURGER IN TOWN. I have no words to describe how amazing and satisfying these burgers are, they are so big and delicious that you will not be able to finish. Fries are not even needed, that is how good they are.
Even though I was not able to finish my burger, I still HAD to try the fries, which was awesome, home made fries!! there's nothing better,
At the first I went, I tried their milkshake and I was blown away, even better.
Can't wait to go back, now they have a little section that is covered, so it is good for those rainy days. It was definitely a good idea.
They're Back and They're Good :). I remember coming to this plays years ago and having the worst burger EVER. I swore I would never go back, until I walked past there today and saw that the restaurant had new owners. They've done a really nice job renovating the place, and they even have added and addition to the front of the building so that you can eat and order inside.
The burger I ordered tasted wonderfully fresh. The onion rings were delicious (and either they didn't give me enough of them or I was extremely hungry...I honestly couldn't tell you which). But I left there very satisfied. There is no doubt that I will be a returning customer. Its a whole other world from what was there before.
The best value and tastest burgers around. Brian the new owner is really putting in a lot of effort into bringing back this old east Burnaby landmark. Some reviews state the place is over priced but I don't think it is at all. For an extra $3-$4 you get a burger combo that other fast food joints can't even come close to in quality. MONSTER SIZE burgers that full you up with fresh meet and veggies. Everybody should try this place at least once for yourselves then make a decision about the restaurant. 10/10 for me.
Stopped here today for lunch, we had the LA King and the London burger and we thought they were the best burgers we have had in a long time. Service was great and friendly! To the reviewer complaining about onions and mustard on their burger the menu states that they come with the works, and what the works includes so it shouldn't have been a surprise.... I will definitely stop by again!
Way Better Now!. I also went back after the spruce up. It is a family run business, and the parents retired, so one of the sons took over and made some major changes. The burgers are organic, the fries are hand cut, they have a great selection of pop that I have never seen before: handcrafted root beer, Coke in the old school bottles, and even some "throwback" Pepsi products that are made with real sugar. They also added Korean street food to the menu; pork/beef tacos and burritos which were truly amazing!
Lost in the 50's drive in. I was driving around with my family in the Burnaby Area and we saw this little diner on Edmonds. We decided to stop there and take a look. It's is a 50's style diner that serve all organic and hormone free meats as well as home aide fries. My husband had the Big Bopper with a Chocolate Cappucino Milkshake, I had the Bacon Cheese with Onion Rings topped with a Cream Soda Float and my little brother had the Grilled Special with the coolest retro coke bottle then I got my son the kids hormone free turkey dog, only 1.50. I wasn't a big fan of the Chocolate Cappucino, but my husband thought it was fairly good. But it was pretty cool and the prices were fairly decent for organic meats. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a good burger!
Unforunately, the days of the good old-fashioned drive-ins & diners are long gone in these parts. Well, maybe they're not all gone, but they are definitely few and far between. Lost In The 50′s Drive-In is an old-school spot that has recently been given
Clearly the business has seen better days as what remains now seems to be a shell of its former shelf, and even the victim of some horrible graffiti tagging. I think the reported ownership change, the loss of the novelty bus and perhaps the gradual wearin
This place is amazing! So fun and nostalgic, the food is amazing too! Everything is so fresh, burgers are delivered, buns baked in house and the fries are hand cut every day! The staff were super friendly and chatted with us while we ordered. The milkshakes are so good too! We ordered the Texas one and the LA one...1000000% going again!
Wow, what an amazing burger! Absolutely tasty and delicious. For sure, one of the best qualities I've had in Vancouver and for the price it is way too good. You can actually taste the meat, all the extras in the burger, the fresh home made bun, and plus all of that, the fries are great too. I can't believe how good and cool this drive through burger shop is! It looks great and has an awesome atmosphere! Definitely coming back!
Delicious when hot. I liked all the fillings (meat, lettuce, mushroom, bacon, red onion, grilled onion, cheese, tomato), but didn't care for the "baked in house" bun. The burger tasted what a burger should taste like. Decent fries. We waited for 40 min, so call ahead or expect to wait during peak times. Got our burgers at 8pm! Most diners left already!
It was such a wonderful experience knowing that your burger is freshly made on the spot. Their fries were awesome too and can’t forget their milkshakes, though I wish it was larger in size. Overall, if you are not looking for anything that’s fancy but authentic food, highly recommend 50’s Burger.
Great experience here, food is good. They stress no preserve food. The waiting time is longer as but is freshly made after order so it is fair. We had fish and chips, chicken burger and a kids meal. Onion fries are good and chocolate milkshake ;)
I ordered a Bull dog, it was juicy & yummy. The bun was made in the shop and it had some herbs… it smelled pretty amazing! The fries tasted like home made fries!
What I like the most was how they provide me with a napkin, a wet towel & a catch-up without putting my order in a plastic bag!
Bryan who is the owner & took my order, is funny and very friendly!
I will definitely go back!

Absolutely phenomenal service and all around experience from the moment we arrived:
- Placing our order with the owner himself (who asked us to read his mission statement while grabbing us fresh fries to sample),
- The genuine passion, love and enthusiasm exuding from the owner,
- Checking out all the wicked memorabilia and signage around the shoppe while waiting for our food,
- waiting less than 15 mins on a beautiful day (family day holiday Monday),
- Enjoying every single bite of our HANDMADE COOKED TO ORDER FRESH NOT PROCESSED food.
- You also had the option to Walk in, Drive through, park and order, or call your order in ahead.
50's Burgers is a total retro experience, that is pretty much guaranteed to leave a smile on your face and make your tummy happy!
My only criticism:
- I ordered the retro soda shake (Americana orange cream soda with vanilla icecream) and for some reason it had strawberry syrup in it 🤔 which was unexpected and not to my liking. I would've returned it and am positive the owner would've given me a new one but we were in a hurry to get to the ferry.
Unique in that they use fresh baked buns and hand cut fries. Pretty good diner style burger but the sirloin patty could have been juicer. They also have minute maid tasting lemonade. Overall, a tasty burger with real ingredients with homemade vibes.
