“ Very cool place to visit on Thursday nite. Great classic cars, customized hot rods and most classy senior citizens . The burgers and malts are throw backs and the daily double cheeseburger special is great to enjoy at a picnic table with friends. Easy to start a conversation, get some car talk going and a few stories of yesteryear. The place can get congested quickly, so if you don't have a car you want to showoff, park across the street at the mall and stroll over for the fun. A great summer evening experience for young, old and anyone in between. Take few pictures of some classic cars and people! ”
“ What a marvelous piece of American nostalgia this place is! After the Minnesota Twins game, I went chasing after "Prince history" and purified myself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka. Before that, I stumbled upon this spot. I had the fried chicken dinner with fries and slaw and I absolutely loved it. The chicken is great! You'll have to wait a bit, but wait and enjoy this treasure. ”
“ Like this place. An old fashioned Drive in with car hops. Most food good..Hamburgers, grilled chicken sandwiches are consistently good. Some items like BLTs good or bad depending? Good old fashioned root beer, root beer floats, great malts. Lots to like here. Next to bike trail. Classic car meetups on Thursday evenings. Give it a try in the summer when open, closes for winter. ”

“ Very cool local spot with great food! The chicken tenders and fried chicken are amazing, some of the best I’ve had! The cheese curds and fries are also great options. My mom loves the onions rings! Good root beer float too!! Lots of outdoor seating in the shade ”
“ Fun place. Tasty drive-in American food, good onion rings. Backs up to a bike trail with picnic tables - they will bring your food out to the tables as well as your vehicle. ”
“ Ordered a minnetonka double, it was cooked to a hockey puck like consistency and also had mayo which was not listed on the menu. 0 stars. ”
“ surprise date night turned into absolute joy when we pulled up to the minnetonka drive in! transport yourself back to an easier time when you could order good food at a very decent price from the comfort of your car. the california supreme was tops! i am still thinking about this burger this morning. it was full of flavor! the bun seemed bakery made and did not overpower the ingredients. a basket of fries is plenty for two! crinkle cuts are my fav! all was ordered and out to the car within minutes, but did not have that gross fast food vibe! will be back ”
