Elmer’s Drive-In

Limited capacity when dining in, but the food is served fast and it’s always delicious. I always get their baby burger and mushrooms when coming to this place.

We were excited to go to a local place instead of generic fast food. 6 people, so 6 different orders. The pastrami was a solid 3 star as was the spicy chicken. The woman taking my order was nice. That was the highlight.
The burgers were completely bland. They clearly forgot to season all 3 of the burgers. I can forgive green tomatoes– they aren’t in season, but not 3 burgers with no seasoning. Yuck. The fries were okay, but clearly hit and miss since the woman in front of me told them they way underseasoned her fries. My daughter said her sierra mist was more of a club soda. I guess their flavoring syrup was low. Another kid said her shake was «okay». All 3 of the burgers, the basic and upgraded ones, were the same amount of meat.
$ 40 wasted. Should have just runinto the grocery store and made sandwiches. Bummer. I want to buy from mom and pop types when I go out.

I was told Elmer’s beat any place in Bakersfield. Happened to be in Delano, so I had to try it. Great food. Fast service. Good prices. Staff was friendly, helpful, funny. Great fries!

Excellent local burger joint. I have been coming here since I was in middle school. So many good memories associated with this place. If you are looking for good affordable fast food then please make sure to stop by. My hubby grew up in la and always complains about the food here in delano. Everytime he wants a burger, I always suggest the ones here. I agree that it doesn’t have great visual astestick but the workers and food are just so comforting that it doesn’t matter. Real diamond in the rough.

Elmer’s. Who would of thunk it??! Polite staff, good food and quickly prepared. Old school goodness. Not many choices here in Delano but if you don’t want the typical get & go corporate crap, try the local place. Elmer’s. We did and we’re glad we did.

This place is awesome. Good old fashioned burger. Got a bacon cheeseburger with pastrami and a strawberry shake. Some of the best burgers and shakes I’ve had. Great prices and fast service.

Been eating at the place for years now and find it to be a little better then the other burger places of its caliber in the area. First, it is a small beat up building so most of their food is of the fast take out nature. The ingredients are not fresh or home made but that’s not what Elmer’s is about. The Pastrami sandwiches seems to be the main reason i hear other people like this place but for me its the baby burger k1 special, maybe due to my simplistic nature but its a small burger with just neon green sauce, no other kind of complementary items (have to request if you want cheese or lettuce) it comes with deep fired crisp nicely seasoned fries straight out a frozen bag served with a drink of your choosing, I’m a fan of cherry sprite. Elmer’s is good because when i want something cheap, relatively good, that will satisfy my hunger, it fits the bill. Its been doing it for years and is a household name for me. That is what a establishment of this kind should be about and it does it fairly well. Any place that serves their drinks with crushed ice gets a extra point in my book.

Been going to this place since I was a kid. Great burgers, always fresh, great taste and fast. Their fries are always seasoned perfect and you get a good amount. The chicken dinner is also just as good.

Sorry forgot to take a picture of my food because it looked to good to wait. Best local burger joint in town. Their burgers are always fresh and they have a special yellowish sauce that they put in all their burgers. This is the first place I would recommend anyone to go to if you were craving burgers!

Overall this place is Ok. The cherry Pepsi was ok. I read that someone really loved the cherry Pepsi but mine tasted watered down and flat. The burger was all bun not a very good ¼ pounder. Get a double burger if you crave that meaty taste.

Double Texas bacon jalapeño burger was excellent. Small place but good ol’ fashioned food. Would definitely return.

Chicken sandwich and fries are my favorite. Hamburgers are very good. Fries have good flavor, but can be over seasoned at times. Milk shakes are good… fried chicken sucks, don’t order that. Pastrami is wonderful. Chicken salad is delicious… Restaurant is generally clean. Limited seating when kids invade from high school… priced reasonably… friendly service… normal wait for a fresh burger and fries…

Always have to stop by for their Cherry Pepsi, its simply pepsi with cherry sauce, but they fill it to the brim with ice, so refreshing. Their food is great too. I used to go there for lunch back in high school and hang out until we heard the warning bell. Still same place with same food and still great.

the only thing i can never forget on this menu is the small little cheeseburgers… you gotta try ‘em… if you don’t like it then it’s just a different flavor… it’s a very simple burger without all the works and still kicks ass.
