As in you order/eat from your car with the wood through the windows? Not too many.
White Spot still does it. Don't know any one-offs around the city that still do that.

Never tried them out. But there's a place called Lost in the 50's Drive-in.
They're located in the Edmonds, Burnaby area.

Only whitespot I've been to that does the drive-in thing is the one in Surrey near 72nd/Scott road across the street from the strawberry hill movie theater
Good choice for the summer IMO

Most White Spot does the drive in thing where you order then eat in your car. Well, at least all the ones I have been to.. 152nd and 101 ave, King George and 102 and yes the 72nd and Scott Rd.
Is Wally's Burgers still open? I heard they moved to a different location from along Kingsway?
Presto

White Spots are still the place to find drive-in food. Wally's Burgers, when they were on Kingsway, didn't have drive-in service.
There was the Rodeo Drive-in in Langley, but that's been gone for awhile :(
Lost in the 50's sounds cool, but most of the reviews seem to be on the critical side. For an authentic 50's drive-in, it's a short drive down to Boomer's Drive-in (http://www.boomersdrivein.com/)in Bellingham (exit 252). The burgers and fries (waffle cut!) are awesome, and affordable. Otherwise, a little closer, but still in the states, is Sonic at exit 262.

I miss the Rodeo Drive-In. Though it wasn't in Langley. It was on hwy 10 and 152nd. It is now a commercial plaze with a TD Bank, Cyclone Taylor Sports, Timmies... :okay:

It used to be a great spot, just the shell, Chevron and Rodeo Drive in... I can still taste those juicy burgers and the deep fried mushrooms were beyond perfect and greasy!!

It's not a drive-in.
White Spot on Lougheed hwy & Gilmour has a drive-in as well as the one on Marine drive by knight street.
