Their Chicago Style Dog is probably the nicest way to experience the simple but humble hot dog. The ingredients are fresh and the relish is amazing. Thanks for such a nice treat!

Such an amazing place we have loved it since we moved here but tonight they went above and beyond our order was messed up I wasn’t worried good food is worth the wait but for the inconvenience the owner refunded the whole order and gave my kids ice cream to make up for the long wait they didn’t have to do any of that cause honestly the food is worth the wait

It's always a great experience here. I love the feel and atmosphere because it's unique from any other place. Service is always phenomenal. I love the 50s music that is played. The root beer is great and ice cream is just as good. I can't wait for warmer weather to be able to go back. Lucky to live close to be able to go anytime. If you've never visited, I highly recommend!Parking: You drive up and sit in your car to eat. Or they do have picnic tables off to the side.Kid-friendliness: Definitely a great place for everyone!

The food and service were great. There aren't many of these drive-in root beer stands left, and the few that are like this place, hopefully they'll stay around for a long time.

Just a heads up- It says they are open until 9, but truly their kitchen closes at 8z and per the waiter- they are too cheap to adjust it through google. Pulled in at 8 and the shut the open sign off after I pulled in. I won’t be going back needless to say.

Stopped while passing through for lunch. A fusion of the old drive in car hop with the use of technology for ordering. Initially we were confused why the server could not take our order. Instead she instructed us to call the phone number on the menu. Even with 3 different orders the process was efficient. Food ordered varied from coney dogs (good) to chicken nuggets (good) and a fried breaded chicken sandwich which was phenomenal. I ordered an espresso coffee shake which was very sweet and lacking any coffee flavor whatsoever. Would not order that again. My wife ordered the Chicago dog and it was fantastic. Two in our group ordered the corn dogs, one regular and one the jumbo. Both were hand breaded but the breading seemed very thin and slightly oily. One liked it the other did not. Service was a little slow because the place was almost packed. Our total time there was an hour and 15 minutes to feed 8 people. The picnic tables with umbrellas were really nice and gave us all the room we needed. Overall, we would stop again and try other options.
