Big-A Rootbeer Drive Inn - Grass Valley

I was told about this place from some of the locals. I thought, sure another burger joint, but was surprised at how big and tasty there burger was. The portions are generous, they make their own root beer , and staff is friendly. Definitely going back with friends. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

Now here's a fry cook who knows what they're doing. The tater tots and korn dog were fried to absolute perfection. The tots had that wonderful crispy crunchy outer layer with a soft smooth inner. Not too oily which means the temp was just right. The rootbeer float was also perfect. Soda and ice cream were cold enough to make those little crystals in the foam, the parts were in perfect ratio so each sip got some ice cream and each spoon got some rooty goodness. I wish someone near me cared enough to make a float this good.

I really wish I could give zero stars because I don 't think I have ever had such a bizarre and unappealing salad served to me. Let me first say there is nothing wrong with just being a burger and soda pop joint if that 's what you do well, but if you 're going to have a more expansive menu you need to a) keep the proper ingredients in stock and b) make sure your employees know how to make the items correctly. I ordered the Pear Chicken salad $15.79) and I wish I hadn 't. The first thing that met my eyes upon opening my order, were the mushy CANNED pears that were dumped in the corner of the to-go container, presumably as an after thought? Next up the balsamic vinaigrette dressing, was straight up balsamic vinegar. On top of that the croutons were very stale and the glazed walnuts tasted like regular walnuts tossed in cinnamon sugar. Bottom line: It was gross and y 'all should be embarrassed to serve that to paying customers. 10/10 will not be back.
