Cookie's Drive In: Where Flavor and Fun Meet in Sacramento!

Our overall experience was great. This a small burger shack that offers many food, drink and snack options. Outdoor seating is available. We ordered the pastrami burger, pesto chicken sandwich protein style, zucchini sticks, a banana milk shake, and a lime slushi. Very fair pricing, quick service and good food. The banana shake was delicious!! We'll be back very soon.

The food tasted really fresh. I had the pesto chicken sandwich, and the pesto, mushrooms, grilled onions, and cheese really made it great. The buns are really good too, which you can't always say at burger places! My boyfriend got the bacon blue cheese burger and he liked it too.

Cookie's never disappoints. Excellent burgers regardless of burger type. Great shakes. The thin french fries are really good, too! A classic and must-go for any burger lover.

First visit was yesterday. Had only the Double Burger. It was so big , I had trouble biting it. This is burger perfection! I have returned today for another double, and some fries. The fries are waaay better than McDonald’s, same style. This reminds me of the burger drive-ins from the 80’s . Everyone says the Shakes are superb. Glad that I found this gem nestled in east Sac, I’m bringing the fam back asap! Highly Recommend this place! 10 stars

Absolutely fabulous food! Good prices for the quality of food, and very good costumer service.

Another Sacramento classic since 1963! If you know, you know. They are still lining up at 1:30 in the afternoon. Made to order, hot, fresh and so so good. The dining room is closed. It was rather small anyway, but they have tables and chairs set out around the building. All food is made to go and then find a spot to sit and enjoy.

Cookie's Drive In is an old fashion hamburger stand. It opened back in 1956 in East Sacramento on 57th and H Street, walking distance from CSU Sacramento's front entrance on J Street. It is awesome that they are still in business after all these years. It is divey, old school. Their current menu is huge. But the pricing is not. They offer the classic burger in 10 different ways four exotic burgers (ostrich, buffalo, elk, and wild boar), four different kinds of vegetarian burgers, 20 sandwiches (includes pastrami, Philly steak, catfish, salmon) , teriyaki bowls (chicken or beef), shrimp basket, chicken strips, fish n chips, and dessert offerings (frosties, swirlies (aka soft serve), shakes (with malt), freezes, and banana split). I luved the French fries. They reminded me of McDs. Same size. Crisp, golden fried fries. Fried to the perfect fineness. Touch of salt. Mmm. A small size cost $3.80. The baby burger ran about $5. Solid basic burger. It has chopped lettuce and pickles.The taco $3.80. I enjoyed it and hubs did not. The shell is a fried flour tortilla, he thought the shell and meat was too greasy. I disagreed. The meat was saucy and not greasy. I found the meat to be flavorful, and no not in a fatty greasy flavor kind of way. It had flavor from the seasoning. Sloppy goodness. Same taco, two different perspectives. This place is take out. Patrons can call in orders ahead of time. Time saver.Expect long waits during peak rush hours They have a few tables outside right along the parking lot, and to the ordering line and folks waiting. It gets awkwardly cozy crowded. Plus another important note is there are no restrooms.

I have been trying different burgers from this place and I have been enjoying the things on their menu. I have tried 3 of their exotic burgers - the Wild Boar-ger, the Buffalo Burger, and the Elk Burger. The Wild Boar-ger and the Buffalo Burger were good, but the Elk Burger was amazing. The meat and flavor of all of the things it had melted in my mouth so beautifully. I was in a state of bliss while I ate it. The food is a bit pricey but it's pure quality. All of the seating is outdoors. I had the fries and they were good, but I think if they were thicker and were to add seasonings with the salt, they would be 1000 times better.
