Review from Horst S.

I love this place! I've eaten here 4 times and it really is a very spot place for classic drive-in eats. My last visit found me ordering a double cheeseburger, onion rings and a raspberry shake - go ahead, call me fat.
I forgot to ask for the burger without mayo, since I'm not a fan of that condiment, but it was applied judiciously so not a biggie. The patties are good-sized and cooked just about medium and very tasty! Onion rings were also good and not excessively greasy. They gave me some ranch dressing for the dipping at no extra charge. The shake was excellent!
The people were sweet as can be, the food is great, what's not to like?

Review from Buzz F.

This place ranks four stars just on the merits of it being a family-owned burger joint on Highway 299 that makes better burgers and milkshakes, with more variety, than than that perennial favorite of the fast-food-chain zombies, In-N-Out. Alpine's staff and owners are exceptionally friendly, too.
The fifth star is for a couple of other reasons:
1. I ran a red light about a block from here with a CHP right on my ass, and he stopped for the light and didn't chase me. I pulled into Alpine thinking he might follow me in, but he cruised right on past. I thought I was off the hook (except for the Karmic payback that's obviously still coming my way for running the light), but 15 minutes later as I'm eating my burger the same CHP pulls into Alpine's lot and parks next to me. I'm thinking he recognizes my rig and is going to bring out the ticket book as soon as I walk back to it and unlock the door, thus revealing myself as the guilty party. But no. As I drive off, he's just sitting there waiting for his lunch, fiddling with his smart phone. Dude just wanted his Alpine Burger.
2. While I'm waiting for my food outside, a glum-looking guy is sitting by himself the next table over. The owner calls out, "Bitter party of one. Your food is ready. Bitter party of one." Mr. Lonely laughs. Teacher Lady laughs. I laugh. Mr. Lonely says, "At least I'm not with Donner Party of 50." We all laugh again.
Good times. -

I ate here after my Friend told me how good it was and I wasn't disappointed at all. I had the Logger Burger and i couldn't eat it all. Great owners and great food. Do yourself a favor and eat here. Don't just get an ice cream and rate it. EAT! it's good you'll be glad you did!

The Alpine has new owners that have cleaned the place up a lot. By far the best food in Burney and at amazing prices. A few hints; the portions are huge and you can generally ask the cook for any specifics you want.

Un-impressed. This place has changed hands and color a few times lately. Wondered why pink again???? Food got good and place was clean for a year or so and then suddenly went down hill again when it went back to pink. We go through Burney alot and am dissapointed in the recent changes. Food is a bit to greasy and a little unfriendly. Ice cream is still good but I think I'm steering clear of the real food.
