Brown Cow (root beer float) is delicious, and HUGE. Hot dogs are just ok. Ambiance is fantastic... There aren't many drive-in root beer stands left in America, so stop in!

My sister turned me on to this place. It's close to her work and wanted me to experience it. When I got there I was taken back. It reminded me of the old A&W Drive-in. The waitress comes to the car and takes your order. When the food is done she brings it to you on a tray that fits on the door window. My sister ordered the tenderloin and I have to tell you it was big! In fact, she couldn't eat it all. I got the chili cheese burger and some deep fried mushrooms. Boy was it good. I will be going back soon.

This place rocks. I never knew it was here and I pass through all the time. Coney dogs were great and nothing beats an ice cold mug of root beer. Will be back
