    Amazing food and service! I happened to come on a Tuesday night and they were having a car show I didn't even know about! They have it every Tuesday during the summer so stop in if you're into cars! My only "complaint" (in quotes because it's not really a complaint) is that they no longer serve with the window trays like they did years ago. It's just in a bag now. The food is still just as delicious though!

    A blast to the past. Car side service. Cool and creamy root beer floats. All easy on the wallet.

    We had been driving about 9 hours, heading home, hadn't seen open food for a couple 100 miles. Turned a corner and headed for lights in L'ans and BAM...there's a Diner out my window bur my husband didn't see it. He NEVER turns around for anything...but I begged. And thank goodness I did. This place is SPECIAL. CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN, QUAINT, GREAT SERVICE, PERFECT FRIES, PERFECT BURGER with a nice buttery crisp edge on the Brioche bun. Chocolate Custard was good but needs more Chocolate flavor (my husband thought it was salted caramel when he tasted it...kinda did). His Strawberry Malt was also very good but we both struggled to taste the malt flavor. However, the full on fresh strawberry flavor was perfect. I grew up in the 70's working in my parents Drive In....this place checks ALL the right boxes. RUN...don't walk. And try it out.

    Young Deborah was so kind and fun to talk with. She recommended the jalapeno burger and it was delicious as were the chili cheese fries(reg) not curly. But the fries were enough for 2 people so beware lol. Great place to stop! Great food & great service.

    A fun experience and the food was good. We had cheeseburgers and while the burger patties were thin, overall it was an above average tasting burger. I would guess that it’s the best burger in the small town of Baraga. Fiance also had root beer and a flurrie and I had a hot fudge sundae that i couldn’t finish and the bill was 25. We ate in our car but there is a lovely patio with picnic tables and hanging baskets of geraniums to create a pleasant atmosphere. Service was great too. We wanted to buy tshirts the waitresses were wearing but she said they were having trouble even getting enough for the staff. If they could get them in different colors, I think they would sell to tourists. We were camping at the Baraga state park next-door. The only suggestion for improvement would be to play some oldies music instead of the heavy metal that was playing.
