Young’s is so good ! I come here often for jumbo fries and jumbo Pepsi with ranch OMG SO GOOD & the prices are so budget friendly! The Cali burger is my go to all there ingredients taste so great & there customer service is 10/10 DEFINITELY RECOMMEND

Classic old school drive-in with outstanding food and service, and a very generous hours of operation. Nice to get a local spot burger at nine in the AM.

This is our 2nd time ordering here. The 1st time I got the teriyaki dinner, it was good I would probably ask my chicken more char-broil. We order the 2nd time and got the Philly cheese steak and was very delicious. Unfortunately we had to wait for our meal for nearly 30 min but all of our food came out delicious, my husband enjoyed his pastrami burger

Carlos and his family are amazing. They're kind of like a family to me when I want to go have a burger when I want to eat bacon and not eat pork. They're really amazing people. I love their customer service and they're very kind-hearted. One of the best burger places I've had in a while and I've traveled all across the United States as a truck driver. Worth your money and worth your wild. Thank you guys.

I ordered the #2, Pastrami Burger combo. I wanted a "Cherry Coke". They said they didn't have it, but could 'maje' it. Yummy Yumm Yummy! An the food is nice and hot, an you definitely gets your money worth. I highly HIGHLY recommend Young's Drive-In. They have drive thru service too

Fantastic Burger! I always gets a Double Cheeseburger sauce and pickles only (pictured) fries are good and seasoned Tacos are good too Love this place it has good and friendly service highly recommend

I visit this place on a regular basis. The service is excellent, very friendly employees and phenomenal food! The picture below is of my Cali burger I ordered today, it comes with bacon and Avacado on it. It’s so delicious and at a great price! Big burger for the price compared to others in the area. Also serve their sodas with crushed ice!

Delicious burgers and fries! This place is always busy, and the food is always fresh. Quick friendly service. No dining room, but they have a drive-thru and walk-up counter. For a really good burger combo to go, I highly recommend this place!
