Round Robin Drive Inn

This used to be the best burger place I knew of, but over the years the quality has been declining.  Many of the homeade items like hamburger buns don't have that homeade taste to them anymore.  And the hours of operation are just horrible - open 5-8 three nights a week, then closed for months on end.

However, the food is still the best you'll find in Roosevelt, the restaurant is cleaned and maintained and they never (and I mean it) make mistakes on your order.  Some items are still wonderful like their version of a soft-shelled taco and homemade onion rings.

Prices are on the high side - $4 for burgers and tacos, $4-$5 for sides, and $2 for a drink.  They have "dinners" that offer a fair amount of food for about $7.

A Roosevelt local told us about this place, and warned us to hurry so we could beat the crowds.  Since they're only open a few days each week, it gets pretty busy.  The onion rings were AMAZING!  My cheese burger was OK... I got the 1/4 lb version.  I realize the patty is supposed to be thin so they can stack them for folks who order the 1/2 or bigger burgers, but I guess I'm not a fan of thin patties.  I heard everything here is homemade and I saw that in the bun, the onion rings, the fries (also fabulous), and even the pickles on my burger.  Even the sodas are homemade!  I recommend the cherry lime soda, and my teenager niece loved the root beer.  The chocolate cake we shared tasted like my mom made it.  We'll be back.  It's actually near Roosevelt, near Big O Tires (I'm not sure why the address in Yelp says Vernal).

My local buddy turned me on to this place - and I have to admit that as a "big city guy" - I went in hesitant.  I expected typical Utah small town burger fare, but was very pleasantly surprised...

The bun was obviously home made, ingredients are fresh, and the fries were awesome to boot!  Just a great, great burger.  Fully worth the $8 price tag on the combo.

Once my pal told me the legend behind the owner I knew I had to try this place, and I'm happy to write a positive review.  Definitely not normal small town Utah burger joint - no Crown Burger style rip-off stuff here.  Fresh, different, and FULLY worth a stop.  Looking forward to my next stop in Roosevelt for a Round Robin round two!

Important Note:  The hours are WEIRD.  Call to make sure they're open before you get too excited and head on over.
