"Came here because of the great reviews and really wanted to experience an old fashioned drive in that's not a franchise like Sonic. We ordered cheeseburgers, chicken sandwich, curly fries, cheese fries, and of course root beers. We stayed in the car and ordered. Speakers were kinda muffled so ordering wasn't that easy but I guess still not bad. The food came out pretty fast and the burgers were just ok, nothing to rave about. The cheese fries were ok. The curly fries was good and the root beers honestly tasted like Sprechters. My favorite was probably the root beer. The waitress was nice but didn't have much interaction other than her bringing us our food and taking my credit card for payment. I was really hoping for a better experience because of the reviews but I honestly have to say it was just ok."

Great old school drive in. Food is delicious, service is good. Would definitely stop here again!
Abby
I absolutely love drive-ins because they remind me of summer! If you're craving a delicious, juicy burger, this is the spot for you. Their shakes and fries are fantastic as well!
Laine
I attended the car show, and it was fantastic! The service was a bit slow, but they were very busy. The food was good for a drive-in. Overall, I'd rate it: Food: 4, Service: 1, Atmosphere: 5. View menu
Penny
The prices are significantly higher than the quality of the food. For a dine-in lunch, I spent about $30 to $50 per person. I would rate the food a 2, the service a 2, and the atmosphere a 2.

This 50's themed drive-in is a fun spot to visit! Just be careful in the parking lot, as it could use a bit of maintenance. We love coming here for ice cream, and the burgers are great too! Don’t miss the chance to try Sams root beer—it’s a must! Also, there’s an amazing Groupon deal available right now, so be sure to take a look!

Now, I must highlight the fries I had with my coney dog combo. I believe cooking the perfect French fry is an underrated skill. The potatoes need to be cut to the right length and thickness, the oil must be at the ideal temperature, and the fries should be served immediately. These were undoubtedly the best French fries I've had in a long time—crispy, golden, and with an inviting aroma that filled the bag. They’re worth a stop on their own! Plus, our carhop could easily be crowned Miss Byron 2021 or something similar. So, stop by, place your order, enjoy your meal, and savor the experience! View menu

My boyfriend and I took a trip out to Byron to explore the river and try out a Groupon for this location. There was lots to choose from- he got a burger basket which was pretty good. I was craving bbq so I got a bbq sandwich with the shake. For some reason I thought it was pulled pork, so I was pretty disappointed when it was just a bbq beef. It was still good, especially with the coleslaw on top- although I prefer the coleslaw by itself. The shake we chose was the special of the day- animal cookie shake. Spot on- best thing I ordered there! Very cool concept of the drive up. I would come back again!

Meal Type: Lunch Price Range: $10–20 I had an excellent dining experience at this restaurant during lunch! The food was fantastic, earning a perfect score of 5. Every dish was not only delicious but also well-prepared. The service was equally impressive, with attentive staff who made sure we had everything we needed, also rated 5. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, providing the perfect backdrop for a relaxed meal, which I would also rate a perfect 5. I highly recommend trying the Cheese Curds, Burger, Cheeseburger, Soft Serve Ice Cream, Cheese Fries, Chicken Strips, Floats, Italian Beef, and Fries. Each dish was delightful and contributed to a memorable lunch experience!
