Hires Big H is a restaurant chain headquartered in Sandy, Utah.

Hires Drive-In was founded in 1959 by Don Hale, a former grocer, with the assistance of his wife Shirley Hickman. In addition to the flagship branch located near the center of Salt Lake City, there are additional locations in Midvale and West Valley City.

Noted for honoring the tradition of the drive-in restaurants of the 1950s—both in its menu and interior decoration—the restaurants have achieved national recognition in publications like the American Automobile Association's Via magazine. Like many other Utah restaurants, it offers the regional condiment called fry sauce. Hires fry sauce can be found in local grocery stores around the state.

Don Hale died of natural causes at the age of 93 on Saturday, January 29, 2011 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
