    a glass of beer and a plate of food

    Make sure to order the root beer!! So good. We like this place because of the old school touch. The waitresses bring your food to your car and they are always so nice. Portions are small so we typically go for a quick lunch.

    As much as I don't want to admit it, I wasn't too impressed with this place. I mean sure, its got nostalgic charm with the young girls bringing you the food to you while you're in the car but, I would of felt more comfortable walking 15-20 steps each way to get my own food then have someone else do that for me, but that's just me. Not to mention I wouldn't feel guilty to tip. I hope I don't sound too grouchy saying that. Got a double cheeseburger ($3.80) with fries ($1.50) which were just o.k.. The burger didn't taste any different from the one you grilled in your backyard. But, for the price, not too bad. They're supposedly known for making their own root beer so I got a half gallon ($4.50) of it, which came in a milk container. I was surprised how muted the flavor was. Since they supposedly make it there, I was expecting it to taste better than the ones from the store but, it tasted like I was drinking A&W instead. Their cash only policy didn't help either. In a nut shell, I was surprisingly disappointed but, I give them an OK rating since there prices were reasonable.

    Old School car hop in Joliet. They have a cruise night on Thursday with a DJ.  Rootbeer floats called Black Cows that scream Summer!

    Ace's DriveIn is like going back in time to when i was a kid and most food places were Mom & Pop operations not corporation owned bland food mills! The staff was friendly. The food was great. And the Black Cows (Rootbeer Float) was perfect!

    My husband and I stopped in today and the ambiance was nice. There's different seating arrangements…read moreto fit your comfortability whether it's a table, booth or single seat with a storefront view. Today we ordered a maple bacon milkshake, peanut butter milkshake, 1/4 pound grilled cheese burger on toast, 1/2 pound New Orleans burger and a shareable basket of parmesan truffle fries. Let's start with the positives, the shakes were well made and not overwhelmingly sweet and we liked that a lot. My husband's 1/2 pound burger seemed a little small and my grilled cheese burger said it would be on Texas toast but it seemed like it was sourdough bread and not really thick cut like Texas toast should be. I was looking forward to eating here because the pictures of the fries online looked long and thick cut, the basket of fries we got didn't look like that at all and lacked Parmesan cheese. The negative experience was the fact the water tasted weird. I took one sip and tasted a weird chemical taste but my husband and I didn't complain, we just paid and left. I don't know if it was the water or the cup but it definitely had a weird taste. Overall, the experience was ok. I think we had higher expectations seeing all the pictures online. The name of the place threw us both off because we thought it was a Latino owned burger joint with a Mexican twist but that wasn't the case at all.
