Hires Drive-In was founded in 1959 by Don Hale. This classic drive-in, located at 425 South 700 East in Salt Lake City is one of three locations in the area.

Hires menu is a classic drive-in bill of fare: a long list of hamburgers including a “New York H” (garnished with grilled onions), a Danish H (with a slice of ham), a Roquefort H, a Pastrami H, and a Big H, which is garnished with lettuce, tomato, special sauce, and cheese. Plus, of course, root beer, available in sizes that range from Baby to Large; and of course there are root beer floats; or you can sip a limeade or a marshmallow-chocolate malt.

On the side of whatever H hamburger suits your fancy, you want fresh-cut French fries or onion rings. Both are available with dipping sauce reminiscent of French dressing; the potatoes can be ordered with a mantle of homemade chili and melted cheese. And if a mug of root beer hasn’t satisfied your sweet tooth, there are terrific shakes, malts, freezes, and sundaes.

At Big H, you can drive up, blink your lights and enjoy car hop service; or it is possible to dine inside in a bright, cheerful, blue-chaired dining room.

The Hires Big H kitchen grinds top-quality chuck daily for its pure beef patties. The Hires Veggie H patties are made with five fresh vegetables and other all-natural ingredients. You'll love this tasty vegetarian patty which has a mere 1/2 gram of fat.

Hires Big H chili and creamy chicken noodle soup are made from scratch using a wonderful blend of quality ingredients.

Hires Big H famous french fries are cut each day from whole potatoes, and Hires onion rings are sliced from whole onions and breaded and fried to a golden perfection. And customers cannot resist Hires Big H Fry Sauce - the perfect sauce for french fries, onions rings, hamburgers and summer barbeque favorites.

Hires Big H crisp salads and toasted garlic breads are especially tasty since the roquefort, thousand island, french and vinegarette dressings and garlic butter are all made from scratch. Hires also makes its own lemon-pepper mayonnaise, honey mustard and tartar sauces for its delicious sandwiches and platters. And for dessert, take home one of Hires' delicious homemade brownies.

Hires Big H purchases fresh produce from the Salt Lake produce docks. A local bakery bakes and delivers Hires fresh-baked buns daily, including a Utah favorite, the tasty Hires Big H bun.

As you can taste, Hires Big H food is distinguishably delicious and is all available to take home.
