I visit this restaurant frequently, whether I'm with friends, my wife, or even by myself. I always ask for jalapeños on my burgers, and for the price, the medium cheese curds are a great choice! They offer the best burgers in town for fast food—it's hard for me to even label it as fast food because it’s just that good! It’s nice to see high school students working there and the owner actively involved as well. I abso... View all feedback.
What Flip Queen dislikes about Jd's Drive-in:
The best part of my meal were the fries. The burgers were mediocre and the burger patty was way smaller than the massive bun. Definitely not a place I'd ever come back to! The floors were sticky, the tables weren't clean, but I did like the decor. View all feedback.

We waited for quite a while to get served. Food was just fast food. Service was not great. Servers were not friendly.
Hello. This afternoon I ordered 3 big burgers and a large order of fries. I drove home and brought the food inside. Everyone was very hungry. We've ordered from u guys many times and always was pleased. Unforunately all 3 burgers looked like the buns were really old and perhaps were leftovers from the night before. They were smashed and basically were crumbling in spots. The burgers looked like they were thrown together. I specifically asked if the burgers could be marked individually so we didn't have to guess whose burger each one was. U guessed it,...no notes to ID the BURGERS and a single sheet of burger was only used to secure each burger. This wrap must have been intended for a basic burher not a dbl cheese dbl burger order. Many of the onions had fallen out of the one sandwich, while my bacon looked old with alot of .Mustard and Ketchup oozing out of it. We threw all 3 burgers out and just ate the fries. I don't believe we'll be back.
I always order their malts and shakes—they're excellent. The food is just average, but the prices are reasonable for what you get. The drive-thru service is fairly quick, even when there are long lines. However, I wouldn't suggest going after school hours; it seems like all the daycares release their kids to JD's at that time.
JDS Drive Inn is a wonderful classic burger joint that serves up delicious food at great prices. Their menu features a diverse selection, ranging from burgers to sides, ensuring there’s something to please everyone. The service is exceptional—friendly, quick, and attentive. It's an ideal place for a nostalgic and satisfying meal!

This place has been my favorite since I was a little kid. I had the privilege to work there for 3 years in high school and now get to share this awesome place with my wife and kids. Keep up the great work JD and family!!
I lived in Appleton from 1990-2001, and have since moved to Southern Alabama. I still think of all the wonderful family meals here! Memories were made with some of the BEST food in town! I’ll never forget how hard working all the employees always were! This place will always be part of my childhood, and i am so very grateful!
Never a bad experience when we eat here. Recommend to anyone. His tried and true methods, with polite staff, will ensure another 50 years. I wish we lived in Appleton, so my kids could play on the JD's little league teams.
Great local family run drive in! Good food, service and price. I've been going to JD's Drive in since the 70s.

Phenomenal service and excellent food! It’s hard to find that combination these days. It was busy the day we stopped in for lunch and they took care of everyone quickly and professionally. You could tell they all cared. Would highly recommend!
Great burgers. Great menu. NEVER a shortage of fries in your oder. Priced very well. Cool to see the owner working right alongside his help. Would recommend them over any fast food burger place any day. Stop here. You won't regret it.
This place is fantastic! It was our first time visiting, and we will certainly return. We tried a mint shake, a banana shake, fries, burgers, and cheese curds. The shakes were some of the best we've had in a long time! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the cheese curds had that perfect squeak. We're so glad we decided to give this place a try!
Great burgers! Even better service!! And the prices were reasonable. Thanks JD's for such a good lunch.
JD's is exactly what the name implies: a classic, old-school restaurant. The food is consistently creative, and you won't find better prices for such quality and generous portion sizes anywhere else! The atmosphere is very family-friendly, making it a great place to spend quality time together. JD's is also deeply connected to the community, employing local students and supporting local sports teams. Whether you're going for lunch or dinner, be sure to check out the interesting displays on the walls and discover your new favorite dining spot.
