Scott's Drive-In

Scott’s Drive-In seriously took me back — in the best way. I’m a small-town Texas girl from Lampasas, and this place gave me all the nostalgic vibes of our local joint, Storm’s. From the crinkle-cut fries and juicy burger to the chili cheese fries that hit just right, everything was fresh and delicious. The inside feels like a time capsule — classic red booths, checkered floors, old photos and Route 66 memorabilia lining the walls. And the cherry on top? They played 80s rock the whole time we were there — it just fit. The guy at the counter was so sweet and welcoming, and the prices were super reasonable. Honestly, this place deserves way more business than it looked like it was getting. If you’re passing through or live nearby, stop in. Good food, great service, and that cozy, old-school energy that’s getting harder to find.

Excellent local stop for great burgers and more. I love all the burger options, fries, onion rings, etc. They recently added a shrimp basket that is amazing! Treat yourself to a cherry limeade to wash it all down. You can expect to wait several minutes more than you would at McDonalds, but I assure you it is worth the wait!

This was my 1st and last visit. My husband and I decided to give this place a try for lunch. We waited over a half hour, eating into most his lunch break, for our order only for my chicken tenders and fries to come our burned. I was disappointed. I bet the chicken and fries would've been good if they weren't burned. I didn't complain because we had to leave, so my husband could get back to work. He wasn't really impressed with his burger either after hearing about how great the burgers are here. I understand it takes a while to cook to order, so I'd order in advance if on a time crunch.

It is a classic drive-in diner, pull up, order, they bring you your food, they do have limited inside seating with a few tables and a bar, we ordered burgers which were really good, but they do have plenty of choices.

I'm going to give a 2 star review, however the food is a negative star review. First point, yes I read the reviews and the replies from the owner. I anticipated a long wait, so I have no complaint on the time frame. Second point, no the employees are certainly not friendly, much less overly so, however that also is not a complaint. I'd prefer they didn't stand and chat at each vehicle upon delivery of food, because that only delays every other order further. So, that also is not an issue for me. Finally, however, is the quality of food. As a classically trained private chef, I am probably more critical of food than the average consumer. There is no excuse for the food we received. We ordered the chicken fried steak sandwich basket. It says "mayo", that was definitely NOT mayonnaise on the sandwich. It was Miracle Whip or a version of. The steak was about 1/8-1/4" thick and fried to a burnt crisp (see photos). The fries were horrible, no salt at all when they come from the fryer, which is when they should be seasoned. Served on toast. This was a $10.00 meal with tip.

Arrived around 12:20. Spent about $10 per person, but didn’t get full meals. Took over 40 minutes to get 2 burgers, 2 sandwich baskets and 4 drinks. Thought we ordered all 4 meals as baskets- but apparently burgers don’t come in a basket and charge extra for fries. We asked as I payed and was ignored as I was handed change for cash- at that point I said I’m not waiting an hour for two orders of fries. We ate and left. Won’t go back since I wasn’t impressed. Kid said the Chicken fried steak sandwich was extremely dry. Burgers tasted like sonic to me. Didn’t like the fries which were barely cooked.

Quaint little drive-in with plenty of nostalgia adorning its walls. This gem is still around for a reason. Good food, good service, and clean restaurant. 5/5 all day long!

Overall, this place was decent. I could have sworn that last time I was here the CFS sandwich wasn't made with this type of bread. I could be mistaken, but the sandwich wasn't bad! The fries were good & the DP was just alright. Tasted like the carbonation was off or too much syrup.

I haven't been to such an old-timey eatery since I was a child! Loved that the workers were wearing the white paper hats; loved the clothespinned orders they slid across a line. We ordered small cheeseburgers and fries. The burgers were the closest I've tasted to old school burgers from my memories. And the fries! Crinkle cut, fat, crispy outside, starchy inside...oh, yum! I would definitely return if I'm in Wichita Falls again.

Food was very average. Lots of better burgers in Wichita Falls. No ambiance but it is a drive-up. Service was OK, a little slow and they weren't that busy. Go to Ronnie's or Pat's or now Texas Flaming Grill!!

Overall was pretty good being here several times. Today there was a long hair wrapped up with my burger. Dont know where it could have came from but it was there. Lost my appetite.

Fantastic food and great service. I always love going there. The place makes me feel like a kid again.

Great burgers and friendly service all the hallmarks of this drive-in. There is seating inside too.

First off, the food is absolutely amazing. Some of the best burgers in town. However, my review is more concerned with something else as well as a question to the owner. Is tip share not a thing at Scott's? Or does the Cashier/Manager the only one who can accept and keep 100% of the tips customers give.

Great little burger diner in the neighborhood! Love the old school drive in style, glad they preserved the retro ambiance. The burgers, tots and cherry limeade are my go to!

The worst burger this would make a person think twice of being a meat eater in Texas. A group of six of us waited 55 minutes for this frozen burger patty to be transformed into a dried up hockey puck. No sense of urgency with the 3 guys working the grille. They filled 3 other orders placed after us. We came to conclusion we should have ordered separately it appears the issue was 5 burgers was overwhelming but orders of 2 burger's was easy to handle. Our friend who recommended the place ordered a burger and a hot dog. His order was last placed. Kyle likes just meat and cheese on burger. Guess what? They messed it up. 55 minute wait shove it down our throats in 5 minutes. Never again

Absolute worst service I have ever had, called ahead and it made no difference, they let me sit in my car and wait FOR A DRINK, never brought my order. If you can't make the drink just say so! You had 2 chances. Went straight to McDonald's. Scott's actually deserves zero stars.

Good cheeseburger! Did fill me up! Chili Hot dog not so good! Prices are affordable! Try it out!

All the drive in food you can hope for. I am a chili dog fanatic so every new town/city I go to I must find a chili dog joint. And yes, it's messy but just dive in. It's worth it. He car hops are dressed appropriately...white button up shirt, with bow tie and paper hat. My husband got the cherry drink they are known for. It's good but be ready, it will get you in the squelcher. You can dine in as well. It's a small but nice festive area.

What a fabulous find! We searched for a place close to the highway and struck gold. Felt like we had stepped back in time. Handmade food is worth the bit of a wait. NOT fast food!

We stopped in while passing through, it's an old feel drive up, order or go inside. We went in to stretch our legs. The guys at the counter were friendly and outgoing, we ordered 2 burgers, fries and one soda. Burgers were good and fries hot and crisp. I would recommend stopping by for quick bite.

I grew up eating here and was in town for a brief time and decided to stop by. I had already eaten but wanted a chocolate malt for the road. It was just like I remembered it. Perfection!!

suuuper overrated. always so slow. I placed my order an hour in advance, went to pick it up + still had to wait 20 minutes. the food came out cold -- when I asked the employee if he had fries that weren't ice cold, he just stared at me as if I was speaking a different language. won't be going back.

Definitely the best burger i've had in a while. Recommend to anyone looking for good food unlike anywhere else. Would come again!! - Rider Baseball

We ate lunch on 8/11/22. Had to wait close to 45 minutes for 1 large, 1 small hamburgers, 1 small order of onion rings, 1 coke and 1 water. I finally asked what happened to our order, got no answer but our number was called about 3 minutes later. We finally had our food but onion rings were cold and hamburgers were not hot either. I am still trying to figure out why we weren't given our food when it was hot! Infuriating to be treated like that!!

Ordered our food and waited for 40 minutes. Rang and asked how long and they said it would still be longer. Waited 5 more minutes and left. We had pulled in next to someone who had already been sitting there and they still hadn't had their food brought to them when we left. Absolutely ridiculous to wait that long for a burger.

If you want a good ole' fashioned hamburger, go to Scott's right now. I try food for a living and I can tell you their burger is BETTER THAN WHATABURGER and I LOVE Whataburger. I can easily say Scott's burger just made my best burger in TX list. More to come!

Everything was quick and good. Made old school and to order. Shakers to finish the meal and they were delicious! Like transcending time, fun place!

Went for the first time tonight. The staff wear retro little white hats and the service wasnt too long. Probably about 10 minutes for 2 burgers, fries and a coke float. Spent $17 on the above and a soda. The burger was great! I got a bacon cheeseburger, my hunny had the cowboy and loved it! The fries were good, they're thick crinkle fries in case you're wondering and come in one size which is about a medium in most places. We will definitely be going back!

Solid place for a greasy burger. Place looks very sketchy and run down. Order and eat in the comfort of your car. Was told by several people to try this place but maybe all the hype left me wanting more. It just wasn't that great. Place is essentially the equivalent of a place that's "let herself go." In her heyday, this place was poppin' but in recent years - it's not a place I want to stay in for longer than 5 minutes. Always got my food to go. Place could use serious renovations. My car hop appeared busy even though there were only 2 of us in the lot that day. I asked for recommendations and he said everything was pretty good. Took a swing and landed on steak fingers which were so greasy, they seeped through the bag. Not for the sensitive stomach.

This old-fashioned drive in is amazing! My personal favorite is the signature Big Scottie Burger, it never fails to satisfy my hunger! Also, the mini tacos are absolutely divine if a burger isn't quite your cup of tea. Overall an amazing place to dine if you are looking for something old-fashioned and classy, 10/10.

This is a Wichita Falls institution, one where the food never changes, but only in the best way possible. Come here if you prefer local flavor with few frills. You won't be sorry.

Truly a hidden gem! Food was delicious and fresh. Best milkshakes in all of Texas. Quick and kind service. HIGHLY recommend!!

Nothing to write home about. Burgers are better than Sonic, but that's not really saying much. Skip this and head over to Ronnie's.

We came here about a month ago and got great service and good food. tonight we got there about 7:30; they closed at 7:45, there were folks in line to order in front of us and when we stepped up to order the guy was rude and told us they were closed. we weren't planning on staying to eat, we're from out of town and just wanted to get another really good burger. if the guy behind the counter had been respectful and said they were closing up early, or had already turned off the grill or something we would have understood. A because we were treated rudely we won't be back to this establishment. only giving one star cause we have to.

After our long drive from OKC, we made a pit stop at Scott's before arriving to our final destination. The place was packed so we thought = yummy food. First impression? Nostalgic. I haven't ordered from too many drive-in's, but this place reminded me of a Sonic/Del Rancho. We arrived at noon and I think there was only one person running the place. Hmm. We ordered a burger, tots, coke and water. We waited. And waited. Read some of the Yelp reviews for this place. Waited some more. Patience is a virtue! It was 10 till our meeting so we buzzed the order keeper. The man on the other line said our order is the next one out the door. Total wait time = aprx 18 mins. It's a fast food joint? Or I guess I'm confusing drive-In with fast food. Eh, I don't know. The burger was ok and (sorry to say this people of Wichita Falls!) tasted like a burger from Sonic. The tots were cold, but crispy. The boo, a self proclaimed soda snob, took a sip and immediately tossed it out. We must have gone on an off day or something!

Had the small cheese burger, small onion rings and medium Coke. Way too much ice. 1/2 the cup filled with ice AFTER finishing drinking it. Cheeseburger was your typical burger and onion rings decent quantity. Several people picking up phone orders without leaving their cars-convenient!!

Awesome food! Definitely top 5 joint. Love old school diners. Great food, great service!

I give this place five stars for history alone. The food has always been terrific. I grew up going here from the time I could hold a milk shake, back when Mr. Scott was still alive. He ran a tight ship. I love the Big Scottie Burger, fries and a shake. Can't beat it for taste and nostalgia. The only better burger in town, in my opinion, is Gene's Tasty Burger. Try 'em both! you be the judge.

Scott's Drive-In is a divey little joint that makes up for its lack of atmosphere with big and delicious classic burgers. The meat tastes very fresh and is very juicy. If you get a double, expect to leave feeling a little bit beyond satisfied. Terrible if you're eating healthy; heavenly if you relish in being bad. The only real downside is that their fries are lackluster, and a bit expensive for what you get. My advice: skip the sides and just upgrade that delicious burger to something even bigger!

In Wichita Falls for a few days on business and in need of a casual lunch spot. Found Scott's Drive-In here on YELP and it sounded good. I had no idea how good. Remember your high school years of cruising through the local drive-in restaurant on Saturday night? If not, think back to "Happy Days" or "American Graffiti". Even on a Tuesday afternoon, I recognized the type place Scott's is. Great classic burgers, malts, cherry limeades just like my high school days back in the 60's. I had the Big Scotty, a double cheeseburger, 2 fresh juicy patties with 2 slices of cheese and fresh tomato and tomato, pickles, mustard and mayo. Shared a side of frozen but tasty fries with the wife, who got the barbeque sandwich. The first sip of my cherry limeade sent me straight back to Bill's Barbeque or Jones Dairy Bar of my youth. It was perfect! I had planned to have a chocolate malt for dessert but there was no room after that big burger and fries. We will be in WF a couple of more days and I do believe the folks at Scott's will be seeing us again. Scott's get a hearty recommendation from me. The only thing that kept them from 5 stars was the frozen fries. A place like this calls for fresh-cut fries. There is speaker ordering and curb service under a canopy out of the west Texas sun or inside seating as pictured. Plenty of parking under the canopies or out. Old fashioned drive-in food and a quick visit to the 60's.

We eat burgers a lot all over the country. Big Scotty burgers are one of the best we have ever eaten. The owners have been great and if we are ever close we will take a detour on our travels to have one.

Burgers are about the quality of sonic and the tater tots were delicious and perfectly cooked. No rudeness and nice service. Nothing too special though

Scott's is a unique place. Its like pulling into an old location where nothing has changed. It has a cool factor to it. The food is consistently good. The cherry lime aid is probably the best I've ever had. Also familiar faces and im sure they have tons of regular customers as well.

My husband and I went for the first time today for lunch. He had the Big Scotty and I had a hamburger; both were very delicious! I also ordered the famous Cherry Lime drink; again very good. The service was great and we didn't mind the wait because we knew they cook to order.

Good little burger dive. Order right from your car, or sit inside. I which there was some outdoor seating. But nextdoor there is a huge step up the parking lot to sit on.

Pushed the buzzer twice. No response. Went inside and stood at the counter for a couple of minutes while Tweedledee and Tweedledum put food on the grill, and walked around behind the counter. Finally I thought to myself "I can buy my lunch somewhere else" and I left.

Nothing better than pulling into this old school drive in. Food was great and the staff friendly. Go big or go home when you eat here!

I'm really big on customer service, but I'm also big on grace. So if your customer service is lacking one day, I'll typically smile and ask you if you're having a good day in hopes that someone actually caring might improve your disposition. That said, when I walk in to nicely ask if our order button doesn't work at Scott's Burgers, and you answer that you haven't heard it beep after my husband has pushed both sides more than once for the past 5-7 minutes, I respond with okay we'll try again thank you. As I'm walking out to go order, your cook yells after me, "We're a little busy in here!" Only after giving you the benefit, your staff still being rude for absolutely no reason, and a sweet older couple in the parking lot ALSO saying no one would take their order, did I interrupt my husband's ordering to say, "We are not eating here. They are rude." Just because you've been in business for so long doesn't mean you get to slack on how you treat customers, or how treat people in general.

Great burgers, great service, great atmosphere. If you're looking for an old fashioned drive-in, this is the place to go.

I don't live in WF any longer, but when I travel through I always stop for their chili cheese dog!! Best in the world!! Service is friendly and respectable as well. Keep it up Scott's!

They love being rude. Just go to Ronnie's where you won't get scolded for ordering there. Was a lifelong fan, not anymore. Hope they close

execllent place to eat.great service ,food and atmospere.very nice people.one of my favorite places to eat.I can see why they have been in buisness as long as they have.I reccomend this place for anyone looking for a good old fashioned hamburger so all you out of towner dont waste your time and money at genes tasty burger.this place really beats genes tasty burger and should be the number 1 place for an old fashioned hamberger
