Since 1923, Pick's is the place to be!

Ranked #11,049 in Travel & Places, #276,216 overall

More than just a burger joint, Pick's is an icon!

In a world where things change overnight and nothing seems made to last, finding a place like Pick's is a delight. Built in 1923 and owned locally since then, Pick's has been serving up good food and family fun for 85 years!

Take any of the 3 Cloverdale exits off highway 101 in northern California and look for Pick's - you can't miss it, there's nothing else like it in town!

Pick's can pack 'em in! 

Pick's isn't hard to find

but Cloverdale is just a blip as you zip down the road

Be careful you don't miss the exits - they come fast and aren't that far apart on Highway 101.

Best Bacon Cheeseburgers in Sonoma County

I suspect the sign is accurate!

On one of many trips from Crescent City to San Francisco for medical appointments, my husband Bob and I stopped off in Cloverdale for lunch last week.

The entire experience, from looking at the quaintness of the facility, to the wolfing down a couple of delicious bacon cheeseburgers (diet be damned!) and sharing a large order of french fries, to meeting a few of the people enjoying the tables in the shade of a black walnut tree, and chatting with the current owner, Claudia, it was probably the best time we had on the whole trip.

If you find yourself on Highway 101, whether you are heading north or south, I encourage you to pull off at one of the 3 Cloverdale exits and take a look at the town, then stop in at Pick's. You will NOT be disappointed.

Is this a GREAT business card or what?

That's because great burgers often start with fatty ground beef. All that fat keeps the burgers juicy and flavorful as they grill. And then of course there is the temptation to pile on toppings and condiments, like heaps of melting cheese and thick ...

Toni M. from Portland had this to say about Pick's Drive In:

"This place is cute & kickin' it old school! Burgers are yummy, onion rings rock, & the milkshakes & home made lemonade are pretty darn good too! The staff is very friendly & eager to please. Taking a drive through wine country?..... venture a little further to Cloverdale, you wont be disappointed!" (quote from Yelp)

    I'll take a cheeseburger, lettuce and tomato and no onion, order of extra crispy fries and an extra large tea. That is my usual order for our old "drive in" called Mac's which unfortunately is just down the road from us. I would love to eat at Pick's. Wonder if they would deliver? Great lens.

    Ummm ... looking over the photos, I am hungry for another chocolate ice cream cone from Picks. Kinda long drive from here, but you can bet I'll be stopping again next time I drive south!
