The Net Drive In — Restaurant in Washington

We like small local burger joints, but this is one sucks. The best burger joint in the area is Nutty Junkyard Grill in Arlington. That place worth the wait and every dollar! However, the Net Drive In is a mediocre food doesn't worth the 40 MINUTES wait and money. Are you kidding me?! A full service restaurant doesn't take that long to prepare a full course meal. We had to wait for our food for 40 minutes. Just before us, it was a large order, they were "order #2" Ok. Got it. Those guys went somewhere, came back to get their large order. They decided to add one more burger and they left again. We are still waiting for our 2 burgers, a small fries, mushrooms, and a milkshake. Meanwhile, the clerk is taking more orders and giving out the order ups... We are waiting another 15 minutes. Some crackhead stumbles to the order stand and just stands there, coughing on the counter. The clerk is totally ignoring him while calling out the add-on burger order from the guys who got their large order already. Those guys are not even there to get it. While we are still waiting for our smaller order. Finally, we got our order #3 when they were giving out order #9. WTF?!!! Didn't get any apologies. The worst decision was to stop by that place to get...

This small burger joint may appear modest at first glance, but it delivers excellent food through its service window. A standout item on the menu is the marshmallow shake, which comes highly recommended. The barbecue burger is another highlight, featuring a large onion ring, coleslaw, BBQ sauce, tomato, and lettuce. Though the patty is on the thinner side, the combination of flavors is satisfying and filling.

The fries offered are crinkle cut, but my experience with them was less than favorable, as they were served lukewarm during my visit. The restaurant provides outdoor seating with three picnic tables that accommodate about 8 to 10 people at each table. During peak hours, expect to wait for about 15 to 20 minutes, but the wait is worth it if you have the time. For a more leisurely experience, consider visiting right when the establishment opens or after the busy periods.

The atmosphere is friendly, and the staff members are welcoming. The location is particularly enjoyable in early April, when tulips and daisies are planted around the establishment, adding a nice touch. This burger joint comes highly recommended for travelers, those with a hearty appetite, and anyone who enjoys burgers...

I called in an order on a Friday evening and was told it would be 20-25 minutes. That was fine with me and I placed my order. I waited 30 minutes, then went to pick up my order. I paid the total and tipped 20%. As I finished with the prompts on the card reader and the person helping me was putting it back, they said, “it’s gonna be another 25 minutes, okay?”. Well, no it wasn’t ok. It actually felt like someone just played a dirty little trick on me and left me with the decision of accepting what just happened or saying something, which inevitably will make a scene. It was uncomfortable and it sucked. I’m not giving too low of a rating because they expedited my order after I said something and I don’t know if taking someone’s money, then telling them the plan has changed is their general practice or not. But, I think it’s pretty obvious they should tell you they haven’t even started your order yet before they take your money in that situation. (They should have just told me in the beginning that it would...
