Classic old school diner fare that is not only tasty but also the portions are large for the cost(around 6 bucks for a big bacon cheeseburger with a huge pile of fries and a cup of coleslaw). The milkshakes are amazing. The staff is always friendly, the place is always clean and the restaurant provides a nice atmosphere with 50s decor.Great place to dine whether you're alone, on a date, or with a family.

Great nostalgic environment, excellently preserved. We tasted the Chilly Cheese fries, as cheap as tasty. Personnel was very kind, even they gave us a keyring souvenir. Route 66 must.

I always stop here whenever I am around town -- the chili cheese fries are deservedly famous! Good service, historic spot right on 53. I recommend getting the au jus or italian beef dipped (if they do that) as ours were too dry on their own.

Funky life-size figures of nostalgic famous people. It is the last of those popular drive-in but they don't come out to your car and the juke box is out of order. Chocolate shake was delicious

Great little 50/60’s style counter service diner. They have everything from burgers to corn dogs to fried chicken to ice cream. We’ve been here many times and everyone has enjoyed their meal, even the kids. It’s a great stop along Rt 66.

The oasis after a nice long hike, burgers and fries in the finest traditional drive in way. The bacon double cheeseburger we had and my son's pork tenderloin were divine. Enjoyed with an order of perfectly cooked fries, Richie and the Fonz could have came in anytime. Unfornately someone forgot to give the jukebox Fonz' touch. We enjoyed this with all kinds of neat folks..vacationers, motorcycle tourist groups and families alike. Next time we do desert too.

Lots to eat, but scarce vegetarian options. The grilled cheese was really good, though, and so were the fries. Butterscotch malt was also really good :) Friendly staff.
