Granny’s Drive In

Delicious and I wish it was nutritious. Service great, milkshakes amazing, speed unbeatable.

Best Rocky road shake ever! Ice cream cones are huge too. I don’t really try the burgers there, we will come back for sure.

The shakes were really tasty but we waited 40 minutes to get them. They have signs that say they’re not a fast food joint but forty minutes for two milkshakes is really pushing it in my opinion. We ordered two large shakes for our family of five. Split a large into three small cups for the kids and it worked great. Everyone had plenty. Wish the wait wasn’t so dang long though.

Have you had the Melvin yet? Get on it and add BBQ sauce, you won’t be disappointed. For the price, this place is pretty damn good! Tell me where you can go get a burger this good for this price in PC?! Thanks and good-​luck! #burgerup #shakeyourmoneymaker

A culinary landmark in Heber, everyone has been to or at least seen Granny’s Drive In. It’s definitely your basic burger and fries spot, but don’t get me wrong, they’re really good, just nothing special or fancy. But what they’re really known for is their shakes/​and malts. I am a chocolate malt fiend, and for me, theirs does not disappoint. Oh and don’t forget the Utah staple, fry sauce!!!

The burgers were mediocre and had no flavor. The fries were soggy and old. The berries in the shakes were completely frozen. They don’t accept Discover or American Express. Overall it was underwhelming. If I could, I would give this place 1.5 stars.

Horrible. Carmel shake had no Carmel in it. I asked about it and one of the four ditsy, giggly girls working said yeah sometimes the Carmel gets mixed in and you can’t taste it or see it… Makes sense, why would I want to taste the Carmel in my shake? While I was waiting for my food another guy came in and said «you forgot the meat in my burger»… The girls started laughing and said so that’s where the double cheeseburger went.

Granny’s is that cute little shop on the side of the road. It is by far one of my favorite places in Heber. The shakes are monstrous and so good! I would recommend this place to everyone I ran into.

Ice cream yes, food NO, incinerated hamburger, uncooked bacon, greasy drench fries, spare yourself the pain, McD’s is across the street

Place is legendary and is hands down the BEST food place in Heber. The lack of good food in Heber and Midway has caused a lack of knowledge when it comes to knowing good food when you eat it. Most of these people wouldn’t know a good burger or steak if you beat them with it. Been here about 5 times and it’s amazing every time.

Cute little old house fixed up into Granny’s. Service could have been better, fries were lukewarm and soggy. Burgers were fresh and hot though, and tasted quite good. My butterfinger shake was outstanding though. Hubby enjoyed his almond joy one too, but it was a little too much candy, too little ice cream for me.

Ahhhh Granny’s shakes!
When I lived in Utah almost 25 years ago, we would get shakes after shopping or skiing in Park City in the winter, or after floating the Provo River in the summer. It was love at first bite!
When I got married 20 years ago in Vegas, we took a holiday to the beautiful Utah mountains and Granny’s still made the shakes thick and delicious!
10 years ago my oldest took a drive up the canyon with his grandpa, and came back raving about Granny’s shakes!
Honestly, if you are in the area, like I find myself every handful of years, it’s a great treat if you are looking for one! And they are huge, feel free to share Ü

Granny’s is a seasonal establishment. Open during the summer months, we haven’t had the pleasure as we usually get to Heber in the autumn and winter seasons.
Well. Until recently.
My friend had great memories of a German Chocolate Shake from a trip to this tiny place decades ago. So off we went to relive the memories of her youth…
Service. Well, it’s counter service, and at our first trip to Granny’s it was seriously lacking.
Come on teenagers, smile. A little greeting like «hello» or «welcome to Granny’s» could go a long way. The teenaged angst was so thick, it could have been one of the shakes. Geesh.
We watched as the cashier rolled her eyes at customers trying to firm up their orders on more than one occasion. Oh my.
We got a number and waited to be called when our order was up.
You can bet we didn’t get a «thank you» either.
I am guessing Granny would have been quite disappointed.
So do you think the rude service made our shakes less tasty?
And by shakes, I mean solid cylinders of ice cream. You might consider waiting a good twenty minutes before you could sip this treat with a straw.
My friend LoVeD her shake. And the service was so bad we found it entertaining. I however, like a shake I can both sip and spoon. But the flavors were yum.
Tasty, yes. A three star frozen treat.
Rude. Oh yeah. A half star service experience. Let’s be generous and call it one. So there you have it a two star experience.

Enjoyed my Grasshopper shake (mint oreo). The small is around $ 4 bucks, and I couldn’t finish it. That may not be saying much, but you get the idea.

We were looking for ice cream on a warm summer afternoon and found this place. They serve chocolate or vanilla soft ice cream with a vast choice of mix ins. We each tried something different and were very pleased. The servings are quite large so bring an appetite. Did not try anything else on the menu. We sat outside on picnic tables with our dog so can’t comment on the cleanliness.

A favorite travel stop when I was a kid still great now. I haven’t been through Heber in over ten years but made it through last week. I was thrilled to see they are still going strong and have the best shakes!

A favorite summer stop on the way to or from Park City. Long lines but this place is charming. It’s an old converted red house.

Granny’s has a long and unmitigated history for me. It’s not often I find myself in Heber any more. But, when I am, a visit to Granny’s for a shake is assured.
This is an historic house in Heber City which has been a walk-​up, eat-​in joint for so many years I can’t even recall my first visit here, which was undoubtedly back in the 80’s. Their kitchen is open, and you place your order at the counter which was once the house’s kitchen. You pick up your food at the same location and take it to one of the couple of rooms they have set up with tables… or if weather permits, to one of the outside picnic tables. Communal seating rules are implied. If there are empty spots on any table, you can feel free to occupy them and get to know your neighbors.
Granny’s shakes are thick and delicious, and huge. A medium is deceivingly large, and I inevitably think I can handle it. But I can’t. As much as I always want to, I’ve never been able to finish one yet. They have an impressive selection of shake add-​ins, in addition to their available ice cream flavors. Bordering on Coldstone’s selection options. Wide variety.
My favorite shake here is simple; chocolate ice cream, with fresh strawberries and bananas. I don’t typically order this, though, unless strawberries are in season because they use strawberry syrup otherwise. But the bananas are always fresh, never too ripe, and they don’t skimp on them, either. At times when I’m feeling saucy, I have been known to add almonds.
Granny’s food, including burgers, soup, hot dogs, and nearly everything else, is truly hit or miss. I’ve had some tasty burgers here, though. I also recall a fish sandwich or two that did not disappoint me whatesoever. Regardless of whatever else I order, I always get Granny’s fries for dipping in my shake. There is nothing better on earth to dip fries in; particularly if the shake contains any form of chocolate.
Yes, it’s a fact that Granny’s employs teens to work the counter and prepare the food. I don’t mean this to be snarky, but every burger/​shake joint I’ve ever visited does the same. I’m not sure where those who have issue with this fact have been eating, but I’d love to know how this is a legit complaint.
So, I firmly disagree with those skeptics who diss on Granny’s for their own reasons. Winter, summer, spring or fall, I love it at Granny’s. Whether the food ends up off-​the-​chart good, or just passable, it’s an experience I’ll always treasure.
Just be sure to use the facilities prior to your Granny’s visit. Their restrooms are weird and scary, and usually not well-​kept.

Hands down, the best shakes on earth. If this place was located in a big metro area with lot’s of Unilocal users, it would have at least 3000 ratings.
It’s actually astounding that no one else makes shakes like this! They are ultra thick and made with fresh fruit and blended to perfection (well, usually there’s lots of fruit left at the bottom, but that’s okay).
And to the other reviewer who brought up the health code violations, I’m also from the Heber area and have never heard of any problems. It would be shame if this scare tactic kept someone from tasting the shake of their life!

Granny’s… I have hear of you all summer and the amazing shakes you dish out, so I finally stepped into your doors. WOW! I love when a place uses fresh bananas in a shake and Granny’s does it with perfection. I wish I was warned of the size of the shake. I looked at the cup and thought I could handle a medium, and then it came out. It looked like they took a medium cup filled it up and then added a small cup to the top of it! I was transporting the shakes and had to eat half of the shake before heading out. I also got the German chocolate cake. The chocolate ice cream is rich and flavorful. It also has huge walnuts in it, I think they are half chunks of walnuts, not little bits. The one thing I would suggest is to ask them to either go easy on the coconut or use a syrup instead.
I would have given Granny’s five stars however, they lack one essential thing. This sort of joint should have tater tots, but they do not. When I asked if they did the girl looked at me like I was crazy. HELLO TATER TOTS ARE AMAZING!!! I will give them props for having fry sauce. If you are in Hebber, stop here it is great.
