    Delicious Italian beef with melted mozzarella, cheese fries, any ice cream! Love the retro atmosphere & music! Friendly fast service. Always a family favorite when passing through Hinckley!

    Right out of the 50'. Great decor! Love the soft serve. Staff was friendly. They also serve food and have indoor/outdoor seating. And they were playing cool music.

    Small town drive in. Every table was almost filled! They have a drive through and a walk up as well. We stopped here driving through town and they did not disappoint! Clean, friendly and great food. Everything is made to order. We got the burgers, fries and shakes. So good!! If you’re driving through this town, definitely make a stop here!

    Some serious nostalgia going on here! Such a cool spot to grab a bite to eat or get a sweet treat if you are traveling off of the interstates! We stopped in here on a lazy Sunday afternoon and this place was popping! You can feel that 50s diner feel when you step inside. We opted for some ice cream and were not dissapointed with a chocolate sundae with Andes mints! Will definitely be back and highly recommend!

    Food is good, soft serve ice cream/hot dog type place. Order was screwed up, hence the 3 stars. Polite service. Ordered chocolate shake and got vanilla, ordered giardinara with my beef sandwich and didn’t get any. They have take away and dine in. Walk up window counter service. Cutsie old fashioned atmosphere. Route 30 old time atmosphere. They are seasonal, so check that they are still open.

    Very cool place to have lunch or dinner. 60's theme throughout the whole place. Favorite jams from the 60's plays as you eat. There is an indoor and outdoor area to eat. Walk up or dine in. I'd rate customer service a 6/10. I think I was a but happier for a first timer then they were. The menu has a variety of choices and prices are $$. I didn't take a picture of the desert menu but it went on and on with choices. From Banana Splits to fresh-made Malt drinks or milkshakes. Toppings Galore as well with flavors to choose from. We chose the twisted cones. They come in S, M &L. Which is great for small children! Definitely will be back with the family to try some other must haves like a pizza puff, corn dog or even fried chicken!!

    Yummy. My first trip and had a double brat burger. So good. Really cute dinner, I can't wait for the next trip.

    I have driven past this place tons of times. I definitely will be coming back. The soft serve ice cream is pretty much perfect. The facility itself feels very neat and historic. We came at a busy time and they were still decently quick. Parking lot is a little tight but other than that, it's a fun little establishment.
