50's style drive-in
I've only eaten here once and I'm not sure whether I would go back. It wasn't horrible, but I guess I expected a little more. The burgers are plain, nothing special. The onion rings were also plain. I'd rather eat White Spot Express burgers instead though. However, I do have to mention the milkshakes. I had a pineapple milkshake and thought it was really good.
I love the 50's style bus parked outside. I'm sure this place is awesome in the summertime.
I have wondered about this place for some time, looked kinda neat. I checked out the reviews and they seemed positive, mind you there aren't very many of them. However this did make me grab the gang to check it out. I was a bit surprised at all the accolades as I found the food mediocer. The milkshakes were good I will give them that. The burger that I had was also ok, but I have to say I have had better and I would not say they were by all means outstanding. The service was also ok, not spectacular, however it was very quiet so maybe they weren't very enthused. My kids did enjoy the environment. We may go back as our expectations now are not that high. It does the job for a typical "diner" meal.
I stopped by this little diner a few days ago. I drive by it pretty ofyen and I decided to give it a chance. The girl that was working the front was very friendly so Id say that the customer service was pretty good. I ordered the korean taco fusion thingy, im not sure exactly what it was, but it was great! I also had a vanilla milkshake and let me tell you, it was great! Nobody else makes 'em like this anymore. My sister went ahead had the bacon cheeseburger. I had a bite and it was a little piece of heaven. So juicy, it was great. The organic beef they use makes all the difference. We also shared an order of fries, nice and crispy, just right...i wonder how the cook gets em like that, delicious! They also live up to their name, so much infact that there was no debit, but oh well lol. I'd definitely recommend this place to someone who wants a good burger and doesnt want to go to Mcdonald's. The stuff at this diner is pretty healthy and reasonably priced.
This is a fun little place run by one of the most passionate-about-his-business guys I have ever met. The owner is very excited about offering organic and sustainably raised foods such as organic beef, pasture raised chicken, cane sugar sweetened soft drinks, house prepared organic potatoes – and more. The take-out containers are recyclable and I would not be surprised to find that there are many other “green” practices and items involved at “Lost in the 50’s.”
The chef enjoys this business! He is clearly proud to be able to offer all sorts of choices to customers about how they prefer their hamburgers, and what they want on the bun. Then he cheerfully goes about building the creation and will even walk it out to the car for the customer. If there were stars for a positive, creative, excited attitude in a chef/owner this guy would no doubt get a 5. AND to address the point of the visit - the food was solidly good – and affordable.
The offer of a Korean street food menu was a fun surprise, and we will be checking that out in the near future.
The restaurant has been in that location for decades. There are picnic tables out front, and some parking beside the building. Bus stops are nearby. This part of Burnaby is slowly changing for the better, and it is fun to begin to explore this “new-old” community.
(FYI, at present, you need to bring cash because the data machines are not yet installed. Could phone ahead for update.)
This place is a Burnaby treasure! Don't just drive by like I did for years and years. Drop in and try it out! The cook is very friendly and can talk about all the organic ingredients. The organic beef tastes different than a regular hamburger, but it is delicious and the burger is custom-made. I will definitely go back here, and also recommend the place to all my friends. Good price. Good, wholesome food. I look forward to trying the korean food next time.
Well the bus is gone but the fries are still good. Friendly owners. Not many drive-in type places left so it's a nice trip down nostalgia lane. Haven't tried the shakes but will next time I stop for fries.
