Scott’s Drive In is everything I pictured when thinking about the 1960’s drive-in and diners. The odd colors and architecture were the staple of this small drive-in. The older men even dressed the part of the 1960’s cook with the triangular paper hat and white shirts.
There were multiple speaker boxes and menus placed around the outside of small diner. Featuring everything from hot dogs to grilled cheese to burgers, the Super Scottie Burger topped out the prices on the menu at $6.59.
The interior of the restaurant was a little messy, but that’s just because I hadn’t cleaned out my car in a while.
I ordered a classic cheeseburger with all the fixings (lettuce, tomato, onion, mustard and pickle) and fries with a Scott’s Famous Cherry Lime to drink, and my friend ordered the bacon cheeseburger plain with tater tots and a vanilla shake with M&Ms. While the fries and the tater tots were subpar, the burgers and drinks were both too good to put down.
We ended up spending $22 with a small tip. The most expensive of our meal was my friend’s shake, which she said was the best part of her meal.
We went at around 4 p.m. and there were still five cars waiting on their meals including ours. For the fresh food we received it didn’t take long, but it felt shorter because of the lovely oldies playing over the loud speaker.
I would go back, but I would definitely wait till I had a few extra dollars that way I could get a larger shake.
