Pilot Butte Drive-In will be open til 6!

Holy smokes! I just called and confirmed what my wife thought she saw on their sign: Bend's best burger joint, the Pilot Butte Drive-In, will be staying open until 6pm starting this Monday, the 11th!

It was back in July of 2004 that they announced they were cutting their dinner shift; they cut their closing time back from (if I remember correctly) 9pm to 3pm. A lot of us were really disappointed.

The new hours will be 6:30am to 6pm; not quite a dinner shift, but a huge improvement. Awesome!

"Bend's best burger joint..." Not even a close second to Dandy's! You must be from out of town.

Saw this a couple weeks ago, too -- been meaning to blog about it, but just been too dang busy. But I'm stoked about this, too (though I wish it'd be open until 7 so I'd have time to make it home from work to pick one up).

So we went by there at 5:30 on Saturday to find them closed, even after their phone message says open till 6pm every day. Bummer!

They are open starting today.

They are the best burgers in town.

PBDI moved up to second best burgers in town only after the A&B closed.......How about asking why they fired all of their disabled and challenged help. No burger is good enough for me to swallow that.
