Snowhite Drive In — Restaurant in Lodi

I used to love dining at Snowhite Drive In back in the days. It was my go-to spot for delicious meals and friendly family service in Lodi. The atmosphere was always welcoming, and the counter staff went out of their way to make every visit special.

Unfortunately, my recent experience was a far cry from those fond memories. The food quality has significantly declined, with their burgers was soggy and the meat tasted old. The service was also disappointing; the staff seemed disinterested and inattentive, making the entire experience feel lackluster.

I went to Snowhite Drive In with my kids this prior Sunday. I ordered three cheeseburgers and two without vegetables, two junior burgers, and fries. They somehow managed to keep the vegetables in the burgers but did not put cheese in two of the burgers. The young girl that worked there said they don't have anymore junior burger buns, so they decided to use the regular burger buns for the junior burgers, which look like big, very large buns with small patties. She did not tell me this until our food was ready. The burger was soggy and the meat tasted strange. They also put so much mayonnaise to compensate for their lack of ketchup. I had also asked for two cups of ice and lids. With the issue that already had, the young girl, while chewing her gum, asked, "You got a dollar?" I looked at her and said yes and handed her one dollar. I was not sure what she asked for, but she took it and put it to the side.

It’s disheartening to see a place that once held such a special place in my heart deteriorate in this way. I hope they can find a way to bring back the magic that made them great in the past. I will no longer be coming back to the Lodi Snowhite Drive-In at the...

WORST EVER!!! Not like how it used to be. Customer service was sooo poor. The lady with tattoos on her face couldn’t even focus on taking our order. She must’ve been on something cuz she kept having us repeat our order and while writing it down, her face was also going down towards the pen and paper pad. Then she tells us the guy will be cooking our burgers. After 5-7 mins of trying to place the order, we paid cash. While waiting, the guy was outside weirdly trimming a bush with nothing getting trimmed for about 20-25 mins. His pant was all soaked on this warm sunny day. Waited 45 mins, the food never came. It’s getting close to closing time and we notice the lights getting turned off. So we asked about our food. Guess they never made it, but took our money. We asked for our refund, the lady’s saying we paid card so she have to put it on the card. We had a dispute about us paying cash and the customer before us paying card. She pulled up transaction and sure enough, we paid cash. Gave us our refund and will never...

Protip: order your sundae/ice cream first so you can eat it while you wait for your food. Sometimes you just gotta eat dessert first.

The menu is pretty great here. I appreciate that they have a pastrami sandwich and a pastrami burger, because sometimes you do just want a sandwich, and other times only a burger will satisfy the lust for sustenance. Get the onion rings, they're quite proper for drive-in rings, as are the curly fries. It's perfect after a day kayaking at the lake.

They also have some great looking tacos. The beauty of the menu is there really is something for (almost) everyone. Fish, veggie burgers, blt, burritos, tacos, sides, all the hits, none of the fluff. Just good, classic drive-in food. The location is great, and that, along with the straight forward menu and lack of drive-thru actually makes me prefer Snowhite to the other similar options in town. They're open 10-8, Sunday...
