Best Frosty mug root beer!! Better go there today because they'll be closing in September sometime

Solid summer spot for burgers and hot dogs. Make sure you get the root beer. Sit in your car or take a seat at a picnic table. Cash only! Always a friendly staff. Thursdays they have cruise night.

Cash only. Welcome to 2023?. I’ve been going to this place since I was little. My grandfather would take me there after I cut his grass. Kinda of a shame I will not be back. Foods okay, portions small but that’s not why, it’s always been that way. The reason I will never return is because the wonderful “waitress” requested my ID while I went to get some cash. Shame on me I almost always have cash on me. In any case put up a sign. ?

Your quintessential American drive-in, with good food, service, and atmosphere with classic cars every Thursday. What more could you ask for?Parking: Big parking lot and adjacent free street parking also.Kid-friendliness: My young son loves this place, plenty of outdoor space and picnic tables.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible. Everything is ground level, it's a drive-in so no need to go inside a building.

Outta town stopped for lunch. Good local spot. French Fries are really great justamountof salt. Rootbeer is a glass mug cold. Burgers are good at great prices. Food is well priced. Customer service is 5 stars. Chrissy gave fantastic service very friendly fast and frequent. I ordered numerous things, and she brought them all with a smile. She is a great worker! Would eat here any day over a fast food chain.
