Golden Wheel Drive-In — Restaurant in Idaho

I have been going to Golden Wheel since the 90's. My brother, neighbor and I would walk there to get custom Milkshakes. Peanut butter banana was my favorite. As an Idaho native, I can tell you Golden Wheel is better than Wheelers in Nampa! (My grandmother would disagree but she went to Wheelers as a kid.) Golden Wheel is better than anything you'll get from a McDonald's or Jack in the box and even more affordable. Absolute local treasure and I'm so glad they reopened. I tell everyone about them and my coworker just came back with Golden Wheel for the second time! He said he was surprised at how good the burger was and was trying a chicken sandwich. I'm upset he didn't tell me he was going, I would have had him pick me up some things! I always get a corn dog too, their chili dogs are great, my grandmother often got a hot dog or grilled tuna sandwich. Then wanted a bite of my burger! Golden Wheel really has been an amazing spot for decades. I absolutely...

3 stars for the fries! The Golden Wheel recently reopened and are one of the icons from old times past and can be a great summer hang out for the old classic cars in the summer! I have been going here for years and glad they could keep it open but at a cost. The menu has changed and eliminated a few of the old favorites and the prices have gone up which is understandable in this market. Unfortunately, we may have to come here not as often due to that. No inside seating and no chicken teriyaki! Darn! No combo meal either. All pricing is ala cart (each) so your burger, fries and drink will run you $12-$13 now. Shakes are $5.00+ Times that by 2 or 3 or 4 and it gets pretty costly for what you get. Tasty but thin on the hamburger patty as well but that has been known for quite some time. Still, supporting the little guy/gal is great if they have the customer service, friendliness and willingness to make the freshest meal they can ...

Nostalgia can only take you so far...

I had to try it since the reviews are mostly 4 and 5's. This was a mistake! I ordered just a bacon cheeseburger substituting the American cheese for Swiss. I'd decided to eat it at home, just a 2 min drive. I got home, unwrapped my bacon burger and it was just that.. Bun, bacon, cheese and a pitiful burger patty. NO LETTUCE, TOMATO, PICKLES OR THE SPECIAL SAUCE... I drove back and showed them the PITIFUL BURGER. One of the young girls said, "let me see what we can do". "We thought you wanted a plain burger" was the response.. who orders a plain cheese burger.. If I wanted that, I would have went to McDonald's and only paid a $1 for the same size burger! They did make me a new bacon cheeseburger and because they made it in a timely manner this is why I'm giving them a 2 star rating instead of a...
