Our party of eight came back to dine here again. We enjoyed the food last time, and liked this experience as well. We started off with a round of drinks. Most of us had beer, but a few of the ladies preferred beverages with vodka. For lunch, my wife selected the Pulled Pork Nachos. It was a very generous portion! While she enjoyed them, she couldn't eat it all. The rest of the ladies opted for the soup of the day. Several of the men (including me) opted for the Flounder platter. It was amazingly good. One gentleman sitting next me had the meatloaf special. It came with mashed potatoes and green beans. He also got hush puppies with his meal. He enjoyed it all! The service was a bit slower on this visit, but it was Saturday, and the place was busy. Be patient and your wait will be rewarded. read more

The brisket was amazing. The smoke flavor went all the way through the slice and it was tender. The chicken was fall off the bone tender and juicy. Then to top off a great lunch we had the apple crisp. It was flavorful but not overly sweet. We will be definitely coming back. read more

Should be closed down. It was gross. Had grilled chicken in salad that was like rubber. Had a pork platter that was not edible!

Great food throughout the menu. Favorite is the Boom Boom wings! Fun and live music from Thursday through Saturday. Easy going staff, and multiple returning customers. Inside and outside seating with a great bar and friendly service. Come out and enjoy the food, music, and atmosphere! read more

Immediately greeted when arriving!

We then continued to have an amazing conversation about the history of the place! Overall amazing hospitality and the Catfish was spectacular!

Our family was visiting from Raleigh, NC at one of the local camp grounds. We were exhausted from driving and it was late we were expecting anything just to fill our tummy's BUT little did we know we were about to have the VERY BEST burger we had EVER had! Staff was SO incredibly nice and food was so fresh even though they were about to close in 15 minutes!!!!! We will 10 out of 10 be returning as well as telling everyone that's heading up they MUST go to City Drive-In!! read more

Found this place by looking on Apple Maps for a nearby restaurant in between hikes and I was worth the side trip food. Cute little restaurant (670 On Oak) next to drive up for those that want an inside dinning experience. Food was good, even got more wings than we ordered. Tater tots were outstanding. Clearly a family owned restaurant from the interaction of the staff, and the customer service makes Chick-Fil-A seem like a McDonald's. read more

One of my favorite burger spots! It's nice having a good place that's pretty quick in town.. plus they have live music some nights!

Okay guys all you need to know is this place is amazing. Definitely stop by if you are in the area. I talked to the owners about the location and area and had a great time seeing the area they've built. They built a beautiful bar and have a Garden. Lots of tables for sitting outside and just a beautiful space-unfortunately I was so excited about everything around me that I forgot to take pics of my food! Haha I had the tator tots and a BLT (without the B). It was delish. Actually I got an order of fries to go because the tots were so good and I've really been missing food in general-staying in Bakersville with limited options-so I was really happy to find this place! There are tons of items on the menu so you'd have a lot to chose from! Also, the fries were delicious! I'm going back before I leave! read more

Charming atmosphere. Hightops and regular tables. Also side porch with tables. More sitting than you imagine from the outside. Full bar and the server/ bartender made a tasty old fashioned. Several local taps also. Service was friendly and quick. Food is cooked in a separate building but seamless operation. Will definitely return for the service and food. read more

Enjoyed an early dinner here today. My dining partner and I split a double cheeseburger and a basket of the Sidewinder fries. The burger was big and fries portion most generous. She is a very light eater, but we finished it all! And loved, loved the Sidewinders. Burger was maybe a bit overdone, but still hit the spot with sloppy deliciousness. Highly recommend. Great atmosphere and ample beer choices. read more

I'm guessing the BBQ is newer addition to this already well established dinner.. the best BBQ brisket yet!!!

The City Drive-in is a diamond in the rough. I had a hamburger (that rivaled the Cardinal in Boone) and my husband had the Chuckwagon - which we both thoroughly enjoyed. The atmosphere was relaxed and the service was impeccable (oh, and the bathroom was very nice and clean). We loved the whole experience. read more

What a great place to eat! We needed somewhere pet friendly for lunch and this place popped up. Great spot for outdoor dining and very pet friendly! Great service too! read more

City Drive-In - Great pet friendly place to grab a bite to eat! - Burgers Near Me - Spruce Pine, North Carolina

Great food. Great service. Great Neighborhood place to eat, with lots choices in beers, wines, etc.

I got the pick two seafood platter ( crab cakes and shrimp ) i personally would have liked the option of grilled or fried but it was good anyway! The crab cake seemed homemade and was also good. The coleslaw was sweet - I'm not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing bc I don't really eat it. The hush puppies were good and my husbands pulled pork was great too! We were all pleased with our meals. The only issue is upon the check being returned the correct change was not given, $5 was not given. Everyone was super nice! The only 'issue' was probably the sweet tea, it was close to diabetic read more

Absolutely loved this place! The atmosphere was fun, the food was amazing, the service incredible! we had 3 young kids and our dog and it was the best! Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. They went above and beyond. we went there both nights during our stay for dinner. To top it off, the love music was awesome. We will be back! read more

The food was good. I ordered wings which are only 75 cents each on Thursday. Our waitress was very friendly and provided good service.

Great old timey cheeseburger- chili, slaw & onions Eat in or shop across the street at the cute little antique store while you wait for take out. read more

Great food and service. Catfish was to die for! Does not look like a super place but don't let the looks fool you. It's a keeper.

We stopped by Spruce Pine for lunch on our day trip through the NC mountains after reading about the town in Run to Me by Leslie Ray. City Drive-In gives that authentic old school experience. The curb service is a cool plus. They also have some seating under a pavilion. The burgers were big and tasty. The sides were dinner staples, fries, onion rings, and tots. All came out hot and crisp. We'd recommend this place for a quick, casual bite. read more

Feel like I was mislead by the good reviews. Was literally probably the worst hit dog I've had at a restaurant. Boiled wiener...bleh. Soggy bun....bleh. Terrible ketchup...eek. No unsweetened tea...only sweet available. $8 for a hot dog meal isn't a great deal. Wife had a burger and she said it was good....and one would hope at a la carte price if $6 bucks. Float was $4.25. So for the mediocre lunch, it was $19. No thanks, not again. read more

Great burgers, good service, nice place. Always enjoy the food. Good prices for what you get. Recommend the fried hot dogs or hamburgers. B b q when it's available read more

Pulled bbq & strawberry milkshake were soooooooo good! Such a good vibe, nice people. Grace, our server was awesome.

Great BBQ and cold beer. Family run business and very great atmosphere.

I was very satisfied! Just passing through and was pleased with everything! We had a Reuben(5star!), burger and BBQ! The BBQ sauce should be bottled and sold! Our waitress was wonderful and it was a pleasant and clean environment. read more

We stopped by for a snack yesterday. Service was great and very friendly. We got fries tater tots and small milk shakes for the kids. Excellent. Also a cheeseburger- yum and Huge bbq sandwich which was very good. A must stop to support local business in Spruce Pine. read more

As a local, I am fortunate to live close by and can eat at the City most Saturday nights. We come for the atmosphere and the best ribs this side of St. Louis. Mike knows what he is doing when it comes to cooking ribs. They are mouthwatering, fall of the bone delicious and are accompanied by a fantastic BBQ sauce. The price is unbeatable! We love our City Drive In !!!!!! read more

Stopped in for burgers, fries and tea. Delicious and the service was awesome! After eating decided to try a chocolate milkshake and that was a great decision. We'll be back for sure!!! read more

You've never had a footlong hotdog until you've had a City Drive In footlong! The taste has remained the same for more than 30 years....no need to change perfection! That's not all; try a cheeseburger or maybe some pinto beans with homemade cornbread. Regardless of what you choose, you will be happy. Great food, prices and staff! read more

This is a hidden jewel of an old school drive in dinner. I highly recommend the 670 Walk part! Cold beer.

Just finished a pretty darn good milkshake at this joint. It was a bit pricey (about 6 bucks with tax)but very good.....and it came with a narrow straw that was impossible to drink the shake out of..how annoying. Luckily I had a backup up straw in my glovebox from Micky D's that worked much better !!! read more
