First time I’ve ever been here. Burgers were really good . Not sure what I expected, but those expectations were far surpassed.  A family member recommended this place and I’m definitely looking forward to coming back. By far my favorite fast food burger at this point.

Amazing. Place to sit down and relax and feel like you're in the fifties, even the sixties.
Food is awesome. I love the Patty melt. Most of all, the vanilla thick shake.

I was just in there with two of my sisters and bro in law they ordered food and I ordered a chocolate sundae with banana in it.  It was soooo good made just the way I like it.  I have eaten there before and I enjoy it nice friendly atmosphere, clean and service was great.

The staff are fantastic. It's a very clean and tidy place. I personally didn't care for the flavor of the burger, but the burger was well constructed and fries are good. I did have issues with the loudness of the music played there, but not the content (50's style). I really had a problem with the air conditioning, or should I say, lack of. It's hard to enjoy a meal while sweating. Please fix this! It's  not cool, literally.

California is a crowded market when it comes to a good burger joint.  That, hopefully creates a drive for better burgers.  Triangle Drive-In definitely doesn't disappoint in that regard.  Triangle Drive-In is very much a chain local to the Central Valley area that also has a late 50's, early 60's diner theme (another trend with places like In-N-Out that do similar theming).  Probably my only real nit-pick is with the decor as the ceilings are normal drop-down panels with 45s on them; goes with the theme, but if the ceiling wasn't plain panels and decorated a little smarter, I think it would work better.
The real draw, of course, is the food.  Their burgers are nice and fresh and the patty I had was very juicy and well-cooked.  Plenty of lettuce and tomato and other fixings on there as well as that California "special" sauce as the main condiment.  For my dinner there, I had their bacon cheese jumbo burger combo.  Already talked about the patty, but the bacon was also done well and plenty of melted cheese to go with it.  The crinkle-cut fries were also nice and fresh; the fact they weren't heavily salted down is a plus to me.  Also a big plus is that for dining in, they actually have big cups to load with ketchup which is sorely lacking in most fast-food joints these days.  Most of their combos are between $10-$15.  As much as the big fast-food chains charge for a decent combo, with the quality, flavor and filling of Triangle's burgers, this is a much better deal.  Also think it's better than some of the fancier sit-down burger restaurants and their fancy burgers, too.  Show the merit of KISS, doesn't it?
They also do really good shakes and ice cream too.  I ended up ordering a hot fudge shake to accompany my meal.  Fot fudge is one of those flavors that is easy to bungle.  Triangle knocked it out of the park.  The hot fudge was really rich and chocolately and smooth and the ice cream was nice and thick, too.  Another big plus here; looks like Triangle knows how thick their shakes are and came prepared with those wider straws.  Really makes enjoying a shake much easier (take note, Wendy's and Cook Out - shakes need wider straws).  Are these the cheapest shake out there?  Nope, but these shakes are well-worth the price and a medium shake IS the same size as a medium soda.
If you're looking for a great place for a burger and shake in Central Valley, definitely visit Triangle Drive-In and you won't be disappointed.
