★★★★★ 5.0 Mister Jon · Oct 2025

I was very impressed with the food here. Service was friendly and speedy. There's an outdoor and indoor area to sit. The outdoor area has a portion that is screened and unscreened. The inside has a few games. Prices are very reasonable. Sandwich portion is large and fries portion is reasonable for the price.

Their submarine sandwiches are incredible! The cornedbeef is especially good. The bread is super soft with a perfect bounce and holds up well to an overflowing sandwich. I actually really like the shredded cheese on them too, its not melted, but I don't think I would want it to be. The prices are also really good! They had pickle fries on the menu and I am so glad we got them. Fried pickles are usually too salty or oily and these are not. They are appropriately named, pickle fries, not spears. I've never had a fried pickle cut like this, but this is how I want all of them from now on. If they have them, order them! You won't regret it.

I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of food here. Its obvious that most items are homemade. My burrito had great flavor although certainly Midwestern in style. The spicy salsa seemed homemade and was slightly spicy. My wife really liked her grilled chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries. We ate so much we had to skip dinner. I would definitely go back.

Pleasantly surprised by this place! Great kids options, excellent burgers! Like, wow! Stopped for a travel meal & would come back again!! Assuming this is not open in the winter as it’s counter ordering. They did deliver to table. They have outdoor, screen porch & indoor areas to eat. Plastic tableware & salt packets. Sweet potato fries were very good but they came with a cinnamon “magic” sauce… I want to know what it’s made of! So good!

★★★★★ 5.0 Augster · Jul 2020

Wow. This place is the real deal. I’m not sure why it is called a “drive in”, maybe for search results, but this place was awesome. Large menu of items. Delicious food. Great ice cream treat selection for desert. I had the chimichanga as other reviewers said to get. Phenomenal. I asked for some of their hot sauce (about the same “heat” as the green sauce at chipotle) and that moved the chimi from great to ridiculously good. My friend had the Super Nachos and those looked delicious and he said they were. Another guy near us had a rueben. That looked great also. Large portions. In the Covid times, they do have a front porch with covered tables to sit at. They also have a screen porch with a couple tables if it’s buggy or raining. They do a LOT of takeout so don’t be shy about calling up a
