Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"The drive thru was a little confusing, there are several ordering menus all over the place, but they do a great job managing it. I had never been here before and went on a recommendation, it did not disappoint. The girl in the drive thru was very friendly. The food was absolutely the freshest, so hot I had to let the fries cool before eating them. The burger was fantastic and the bacon they use is far superior to that of every fast food restaurant I can think of. They give fry sauce with the fries, but I would recommend asking for more because it is a very small container."
"I have driven by this place so many times and have always wanted to try it. I finally did, and was not disappointed! It was so refreshing to get the old-fashioned mom n pop treatment. They were so genuinely nice and the food was very good! It was cooked to order, fresh n hot, and very reasonably priced, unlike big chained fast-food places. Seating was outdoors, but it was in grass, and very shaded with a nice little breeze. There was also a drive-thru. As I was leaving, a beautiful lady ran over and gave me a tee-shirt thanking me for my support. I had just taken a picture of the place, because I was going to give it a good review and let my daughter know I finally tried it:) I will definitely be a regular!"
"These may have been the best tasting fries I have ever eaten. I don't know if they are seasoned or fried in beef fat, they did something magical to them. Burger was alright, needed some seasoning. I'll be dreaming of those fries for the rest of my life though. Staff were very kind and accurate with my order, seating was adequate. I had a great time there! Would recommend for sure, I'll have to explore the rest of the menu"
"Very yummy burgers and fries. Customer service is top tier. When you come, expect to wait awhile. It's worth it."
"This place is a blast from the past. I love the funky speakers at the drive though! The prices are about the same a standard national chain fast-food joint. The food is definitely not standard fast food. The quality is high and the servings are big. Fun choices too. I will be back. Thanks for being unique Viking."
"This may be a new favorite! The food is fresh and delicious. I had the Henderson burger, onion rings and a chocolate shake. The burger was serious, no skimping on anything. I'm am a big fan of onion rings and these are hot and fresh and no wierd aftertaste like at the chain stores. Find a shake flavor that suites your taste and get the size that meets your mood. Also, they have Viking swag, tee-shirts and sweatshirts to show off your new favorite Mom and Pop place..."
"It can't decide what the best part was. First off the young lady working was professional, fast, & very friendly. I had the grilled chicken sandwich, it was fresh, hot and the perfect amount of little bit messy. Viking drive in is a great choice when you're in the area AND you're supporting local!"
"Drive thru service. Nice service, great food. Multiple people were attended to by the employee, she did a great, considerate job."
