    Love this place a true classic drive in. Find your parking spot and order from the large menu. They have a great selection of burgers and hotdogs. My wife had the blue burger (blu cheese) while I had one of their special burgers with mushrooms, bacon, American and Swiss cheese and onions. We also split an order of fries and we had two large drinks. Everything was great. Be aware, this is a seasonal place and is only open during the tourist season. That is the only drawback.

    Hot, crispy tater tots

    There's nothing like finding an old fashioned drive-in restaurant to offer a bit of nostalgia to a by gone era. Their car hop was helpful and patient as we perused their expansive menu offerings. This restaurant is reminiscent of a 1950s drive up with the car hop taking your order at your car. There is a small dining room inside. This place was hopping with a constant stream of customers coming and going. The cooks and car hops were efficient! Loved the special sauce on their one patty burger, but the burger itself was hoe hum. The hotdog was fantastic, however, and definitely a reorder. The tater tots were hot and crispy - yummy, and the malted chocolate milk shake was decadent!

    This is a fun experience dining in our car. We stopped by on the way to Jackson and it was my first time dining in a pull-up spot. Food was good/okay, nothing to write home about. Also ordered a dipped Cone (in memory of the ones from McDonald's back in the day) and it was very melty. Glad we visited but this isn't a must-go.

    Pizza burger, delicious

    Fun little drive in. The servers were super friendly and made great suggestions. Interesting burgers to choose from. Cheese smothered tots were crispy. Shakes were very good and had interesting flavors. My cherry cordial had the actual candies mixed in. A very friendly place to stop!

    Red Baron is a classic establishment that's been around since the late 60's. My wife who is from the area always talks about how it was her favorite place growing up, which this is a common trend I've heard from others as well. The food itself is an 8/10, definitely will beat your sonic by far. I would highly recommend just trying it yourself and enjoy the experience that you'll have. They're usually pretty busy which makes the service a little spotty at times. But nothing bad or what you wouldn't expect at a drive in fast food restaurant. As well they do close down for the winter, so if you are wanting to go plan for the summer time.

    Strawberry Oreo shake

    What a fun summer stable to the valley! We came here for the first time on a Friday night and enjoyed the fun atmosphere and the friendly staff. Drive up, curbside pickup, or park and go inside or to an outside table to eat. Plenty of options for whatever you're in the mood to do! We got hamburgers, and corn dogs for dinner. I got the bacon cheese burger and my husband got a regular double burger and both were pretty meh. The bacon was floppy and weak, and burger itself felt like a low quality beef and they use an underwhelming American cheese. Kind of funny to have a burger joint with low quality patties in the heart of cow country. The corn dogs were good, but nothing special! The cheese fries were pretty good and we would get those again. Where this place really shines though, is in their SHAKES! We got the strawberry shake with Oreo and we couldn't eat it fast enough. No strawberry syrups here, just real refreshing fruit that tantalizes the tastebuds at every bite! We liked the shake so much we went back later that night just to get more ice cream! I recommend the cake batter with cookie dough. The tropical shake had chunks of pineapple if you're into that sort of thing, but it was very tasty. The grasshopper has a more true mint flavor than most are used to, but it's still delicious. They mix the mix-ins very fine, not chunky! I wonder if you could ask them to make it chunkier... Skip the burgers, but come for the shakes!! It's a perfect stop for a treat on your way to Jackson!

    Mushy veggie patty.

    Do NOT get the veggie burger. It was pure mush and very gooey. I've eaten quite a few veggie patties and have never had one this disgusting. I went to the cashier that was taking orders and complained. She went back and talked to the cook? Manager? Owner? I have no idea which, but promptly returned and told me it was supposed to be that way. I threw it in the trash. I've never done this with any restaurant meal in the past. My husbands bacon burger had two small strips of bacon on a thin meat patty. He said it was ok but not worth the money. We were both disappointed in our meal.

    Kat had the best Almond fudge malt of her life! Fries were great, onion rings were very good! Kats burger was top shelf! I had the foot long hot dog royal. Man, best hotdogs sauce I've ever had. Friendly service,good old music and good fast food!! Want to go back to the 60's?? Don't pass it by!!

    I've never had dry farts that sounded so wet before…read more We stopped by on our way to Jackson since we needed something quick. We had taco time once 12 years ago and make fun of it every time we drive by one, but didn't really remember the food. When we pulled up to the drive thru window (which was a house window), I asked my wife if she had diapers for the kids. Then I semi jokingly asked if she had diapers for us. I figured - worst case - I'd have to pull over and have the squirts in the woods somewhere along the drive. The food took forever to "make". I told my wife they probably only have one microwave to cook it all in. I may have been right. Everything was room temp or below, except the kids chicken and potatoes, which they probably microwaved last. Anyway, my kids refused to eat the chicken. The potatoes were not bad. My wife had a few bites of her "taco" and threw it away. I paid for the food, so I ate most of my "taco" on principle. To my surprise, it didn't instantly give me the bubble guts. But then... the entire night, I kept farting myself awake with the loudest, wettest sounding (and feeling) farts I've ever had. I got up every time, thinking I had just soiled the bed. But I'd wipe and everything was perfectly dry and clean. I have no idea about the science behind such a phenomenon, but in my 41 years of life, this is a new one for me. Still giving it 3 stars though since it pretty much met expectations.

    Your typical fast food place. I love their crispy meat burritos. Best ever. Had two of them and…read moresome mexi fries. Great. Plenty of sauces. I usually get a dozen uncooked to take home with me as we don't have a Taco Time within 500 miles. Service was great and the meal was very enjoyable.

    Absolutely recommend this place. Worth the wait as the small staff is making items fresh. Great…read morelocal, small, place. We will be back next time we are in the Jackson area.

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but this was one of the most frustrating restaurant experiences…read moreI've ever had. When we arrived, the restaurant was completely full, but it's a very small dining room with only about 10 tables. We only waited about 10 minutes to be seated, and after seeing the great Yelp reviews, we were excited to eat there. There was only one larger party of eight; the rest of the tables were small groups, so nothing suggested the kitchen was overwhelmed. We were seated at 6:10 p.m., ordered drinks, and placed our dinner order shortly afterward. Then...nothing. We waited so long that we ordered a second round of drinks, assuming our food would be arriving any minute. After finishing those drinks, we finally asked about our order around 7:30 p.m.--more than an hour after ordering. The response from the other server was disappointing. Without any real apology or concern, we were simply told it would be another 10-15 minutes because they "had lots of to-go orders." If the kitchen was prioritizing takeout over guests who had been sitting in the dining room for well over an hour, that should have been communicated from the beginning. Then 10 minutes later, to make matters worse, the other server to whom we inquired --not even ours--brought peppermints to the table to "help with our hunger." Whether it was intended as humor or not, it came across as incredibly insensitive given we'd been waiting 1 hour and 20 minutes. At that point, we asked for our bill for the drinks and decided to leave. Unsurprisingly, our food appeared almost immediately after we asked for the check. By then, the experience had completely ruined our appetite. Our actual server did apologize, and I appreciated that, but it was simply too late to salvage the evening. I've eaten at countless restaurants over the years, and I have never experienced anything quite like this. Long waits can happen, but a restaurant should communicate honestly, apologize sincerely, and make guests feel valued. Unfortunately, none of that happened here. We left disappointed and I feel the need to warn others. I felt bad for our actual server (who we tipped normally) because she couldn't help the delay in the kitchen or her coworker's behavior.
