Great food! If you live near by or are just passing through, I highly recommend stopping here. This is a nostalgic way to dine with out leaving your car. They are pet friendly. Most importantly, the food and ice cream is delicious. 10/10 highly recommend!

Such a cool Drive In Diner! We stopped by on the way to our sons baseball game. The window service was great and the food came out quickly, hot and fresh! I loved the crispy fries in my Country Burger basket! All of our burgers were very delicious; the Country, California and the Double Bacon Cheeseburger.Parking: Enjoy drive up window service or park in the grass and walk up to order.Kid-friendliness: Our picky eater kids enjoys all these foods just as much as the eats anything kid. :)

Love love it. Food is good. Tastes like drive in food. Cheaply priced. A step back in time. Small town business with small town prices equal happy customers from talking to others. Also many others who go often. Went in the middle of a Tuesday afternoon, 4pm ish and it was full. While bragging about it I got all good comments of others stays as well. I recommend! I support small town businesses , and say this is a must stop!!

I remember coming here as a kid back in the 80's. The place brings back great memories. Stopped 8/20/22 with my son. The service was still fantastic. Greeted with smiles! The fries and coleslaw haven't changed. I remember the warriors burgers to worth the drive. Not so much any more.

Not to impressed this year, use to love coming but over priced and not very unstanding staff. I have five small children and one accidentally spilled their meal and they were going to make me pay for a new one and were not understanding with the situation, poor customer service. One of the kids hotdog meals was so over cooked you couldn't even bite into the hotdog.

Very poor service. Asked for my drink at the window prior to my food. Waited for a few minutes and no one came back. I asked the server for my drink and she said “ok”. Finally brought it out with my food 15 minutes later. I asked her what happened with my drink coming out first. She stares at me blankly and responded, “oh we don’t do that…”. Some of the Worst service I’ve ever had in small town America.

Love this place! Classic small town drive in with great food. Eat in your car, pick a picnic table, or bring your lawn chairs and hang out on the grass. Car hops are friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. You can't leave without getting an ice treat. Ask your car hop about creating a custom mix Blizzard (salted carmel brownie bit was one of my favorites suggested by my car hop) or try one of the many cone favors. You can't help, but leave with a smile on your face and a full tummy.Vegetarian options: Salads, fries and more on the menu. Car hops seem willing to make changes to accommodate any request.Parking: Park and eat in your car. Park and eat on a picnic table or park and eat while hanging out in the grassy area (bring your own lawn chair).Kid-friendliness: Great menu options. Plus what kid doesn't love ice cream.Wheelchair accessibility: Car hops come to your car so you don’t have to get out. Restroom has 1 step up.

This is place is unique and perfect for passing by. Be prepared to pay cash only though. Great for family.

Me and the family love this little drive in no seating indoors but an authentic sit In your car food delivered to your window! Not just a fun experience the staff is great and the comfort food at great prices just is an all around awesome little place!

I've talked to several coworkers who have eaten here and they absolutely raved about how good the place was. Gotta say I wasn't impressed either time I've eaten here. The burgers are dry, but they do have a decent flavor. The reason for the 3 stars rather then a single star is their shakes! They definitely have some outstanding shakes, they're just not as good as "Peppermint Twist" in Delano. But it's hard to compete with the best drive-in in the state.

Basic food, basic ice cream. Sloppy joe tasted like manwich. And expensive. My small "flurry" was $5, more than DQ. I won't be back.

Food is good, ice cream is awesome. They don't take a card which is heavily inconvenient.. 90% of the country doesn't carry cash anymore so it requires pre-planning or a trip the atm..

Very friendly service and great food! Sometimes the wait times get a little long and trying to find a parking spot when they are packed is difficult. But it's worth the wait every time !! Our family always looks forward to eating there.

Excellent customer service! Very clean and a fun atmosphere! The prices were very affordable & they've got discounted menu items on certian days as well 😊.There is a walk up order window. Outside tables are available to sit at underneath a sheltered areaThey actually DO come out to your car to take your order, deliver your food & take payment just like "the good old days". Nobody was on roller skates though, it's all gravel, that'd be a disaster 😉.I was surprised by the large variety of food & ice cream on the menu for such a small town

I stopped coming here for awhile due to lackluster food and inconsistent service which kinda subtracts from the nostalgia and enjoyment. And this was before covid. Today's basket was the best in my entire history I've had with this place. So...KUDOS to whomever is at the grill today. It was delicious and care was given to the presentation! Love it. This was unprecedented in my previous experiences here. I didn't actually expect this good of a meal today. I'm grateful for the improvements, and to simply be able to enjoy it here. The car hops were pleasant; kind; patient. Personality is not the issue for these sweet gals. I would've appreciated some suggestions about putting things together from the menu (menu options) but they're always so hurried, seems, even when just 2-3-4 cars here; but perhaps a bit more training could make the difference. Their ice cream cones come in only 2 sizes - kiddie & gargantuan. This place is for sale and I reckon if someone "that cares" doesn't buy it soon and they go out of business as a consequence, then I will feel sad for the closing of another era of America when drive ins were the "it" family spot and, also, will feel bothered that yet another mom & pop place "died" (or struggled), possibly quite likely as a result of the 'plannedemic' lockdown. I hope it is bought by an owner who cares to continue the drive in tradition. They were generously tipped over 20%. Reader, please note: plastic cards (credit or debit) are not accepted here for payment. I find that to be a great thing, too! but it helps to know in advance before you drive over.

Excellent all around. Provides a step back to the good old drive in. Car staff is very friendly. Food is great. We do a 50 mile round trip to eat there. You won't be disappointed.

Fun, old fashioned service drive in! Be served at the window of your car or you can sit at a picnic table. Delicious American style food, great chicken and burgers. The best old fashioned root beer! Friendly service. A must do experience!

Service was friendly and fast. Food was good. As a vegetarian, my options were limited. But that's pretty typical for this area. I wish the table we sat at had been wiped off. Otherwise, it was a fun slice of Americana.

I gave it 3 stars because the pizza burger and sweet potato fries were good although the fries could have used dipping sauce but as for the chicken it would have been 1 star, it was dried out and over cooked and no salt on the fries. Won't order the chicken again.

The drive in experience of this restaurant is very fun! The food quality is great and the menu has everything you could want. I am definitely going to be making more stops here!

I've been here twice now and wish I had the money to buy it! I would love to run a joint like this. And the ice cream is the most creamy ever! Love it!

Surprisingly good food for the price, but there were flies everywhere. Also people smoking at tables next to us. A little better presentation to match the great food would make this a 5-star stop.

Great burger. Not sure of the name of the burger but it had 1/4 pound patty, bacon, BBQ sauce and a couple onion rings in it.friendly staff.

My hubs, pups and I all stopped at the Country Drive In while en route to camp in Lake Shetek. This was the tastiest drive in we have ever been in! The wait was about 20 mins, the perfect time for a nice walk around the block and for my man to use the restroom. He came out of the bathroom and to my delight my boo said “these are really nice bathrooms”. After the food arrived, we munched our burgers in the car and drank our sweet rootbeer and pib. Unfortunately the cool mugs the sweet rootbeer came in, spilled on my center counsel. Overall, it was a great experience!
