What User doesn't like about J & L Drive-In:
This is an old style drive in restaurant . It is eerily similar to an old style A & W , though they deny a connection . . The hamburgers were OK but no better than that . Good onion rings . Service was good but as it is what it is , service does not matter that much . Price was fine . All in all , there are lots better than this but it was OK . View all feedback.

read moreJ&L Drive-In offers a nostalgic 50's drive-in experience, complete with car hops and delicious classic diner food. While some found the burgers just okay, others enjoyed the unique flavors and large portions. The onion rings and fries received high praise, and the chocolate milkshakes were a hit. Service was friendly and efficient, adding to the overall positive dining experience. With reasonable prices and a fun, retro atmosphere, J&L Drive-In is a must-visit spot in Port Alberni. Overall, a great place for a quick, affordable meal with a side of nostalgia.

read moreThe food was delicious and reasonably priced. I was pleasantly surprised. A great place to stop for lunch on the way to Tofino.
All it is a drive thru burger shack. I can make better burgers at home. The spicy fries taste like fries you buy at costco. Definitely not worth the
Pretty neat experience! Like a drive thru but you park and a waitress will come and take/bring your order. Typical fast food taste.
