⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Mal Brazil
We’re traveling from Utah and looking for a local place to eat. Vannah’s Drive In is awesome. We drove by a saw it was busy and knew it had to be a good place to eat. Service was excellent. Had a Jr Big Boy and a Po’Boy. Both had HomeFries.

Everything you want from a burger joint. Delicious burger, great fries, and hole in the wall type feel. The service was friendly. Happy with my visit overall!

This is a great hole in the wall restaurant. It isn't very big in size, but the food is wonderful!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Evan Johnson
Delicious food with an old-fashioned, home-made quality. Prices were good, and the service was friendly. If I were a local this would be one of my regular stops. Should you find yourself in the mood for some classic comfort food, you can't go wrong here.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — sam cole
I love this place. I have been coming here for years now. My food is always good, fresh, and decently portioned. It's a smaller location with Big food. My complaints have not changed over the years. It's the Barn wood smell, that you giused to after a few minutes. And the Drinks made with that weird tasting West Monroe water. I think a filter on the water supply would fix that up quickly. Their burgers are awesome, their dang fries are awesome. And please don't forget to get some Vannah sauce. I think it's better than Cane's sauce. And the owners are great people too. I wish they opened up close to me so I don't have to drive an hour for a good hamburger.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Kyla Navarre
Burger 🍔 and Cajun Fries 🍟 were absolutely delicious. The burger was juicy and the fries were super crispy. The special sauce for the fries was everything! I was extremely happy with the price and the amount of food I received. Staff were friendly and helpful…THANKS DAVID & TEAM! I will definitely be back!
