“ We had spent a few hours kayaking on Lodi Lake and were starving after...This was right across the street and not busy at the time. Talk about the "way back machine"... this reminded me of a burger place in a small town I grew up in. It was fun and the food was good. Look, it is a small funky burger place...it is what it is and we enjoyed it. The crinkle fries were delicious, my grilled cheese was basic but that is what I expected and my husband's hot dog hit the spot. The butterscotch shake was such a treat!!! We noticed at least three sets of locals that came in and the servers seemed to know who they were and had their orders ready. It was a fun place to go for a bit of nostalgia and a great shake. We would defiantly go back next time we are at the lake. ”
“ We enjoyed lunch at Snowhite Drive in on a hot day last week. The covered patio however was nice to eat under. Our food was quick to arrive. We had cheeseburgers and they were very large and yummy. I like their house "secret" type sauce. And my brother loved his banana milkshake. We will be back ”

“ 1950s hamburger drive thru stands are a blast from the past. Not alot of the genuine structures exist anymore. The allure is real for me. So when I happen upon one, I'm apt to stop on in unless it's really icky looking. Sno-White Drive In on West Turner Road, in Lodi, CA, was not the icky at all. The burger and taco was yummy. It didn't hurt my tummy. The cashier was a delight. Super friendly. Hmmm, she may have been the owner. Anyways, the food came out quick and fueled my soul, put me in a happy mood to continue on my weekend local backroads road trip. I got a taco. It's ground beef served in a house made tortilla. The tortilla size is larger than street taco. They crisped up the tortilla on the flat grill, I liked that. The taco was filled with ground beef, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese (2 cheese blend), and cilantro. They offer packets of taco sauce. The meat had hints of cilantro cooked in it. But it wasn't strong enough to overpower the flavor. I'm not a fan of cilantro. With that said, I still totally dug the taco. Yum! Stellar. Plus the price was $3.25. Bargain. The fries were thick cut and came out hot. Yes, they're frozen, not fresh cut. I have no issues with that since they were tasty. A small order was $2.99. Hubs had the cheeseburger combo $11.99 with drink and fries. $6.65 just the cheeseburger. The burger fixings were fresh. The burger came out hot. The patty was mostly likely frozen but not a bad quality. It tasted good. No complaints. Right now are winter hours. There are a few tables under an awning. The tables and patio was super clean. The cleanest hamburger stand I have ever seen. The parking lot was paved, easy to maneuver about. The neighborhood was safe and not sketchy. The place has no public restrooms, typical of hamburger stands. But Lodi Lake park is across the street, there are public restrooms there. I didn't utilize it though. Also there are shopping plazas with anchor stores not far away. History Lesson: A bit of history, Sno-White Drive In chain was created in Stockton, CA, in the early 1950s. By the late 1960s, they were franchised and California had 200 throughout the state. The franchise no longer exists. This Drive In opened in 1959. A few blocks away is the General Mills cereal factory which opened in 1940 and shut down operations in 2015. Lodi Lake is across the street from the Drive In. ”
“ Snowhite Drive In is an old fashioned burger stand that serves your typical burgers and fries, as well as a number of other items, and ice cream. I always get the turkey burger and curly fries. They've been pretty good at getting my order right so far. I recommend calling in your order before coming to pick it up, which will reduce wait time. Note that they only accept cash, so come prepared. ”
