Bacon cheese burger. The only thing actually worth writing about is that root beer float, yum!!

Went here this past summer and absolutely loved!!This place is such a fun throwback! The old-school vibe, car hop service, and classic drive-in menu make it a great stop. The homemade root beer is amazing--super refreshing and just the right amount of sweetness.I got a burger and fries, and both were spot on. The burger was juicy, and the fries were perfectly crispy. Oh, and don't skip the malts--they're thick and delicious, just like they should be.The staff is super friendly, and the service is quick even when they're busy. It's a great spot to hang out on a nice summer day. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Taylors Falls!

Such a cute place for a cute town! Love the frosted root beer! I always have to stop by when I visit the Taylor's Falls area.Staff is always friendly and excited. The food isn't something that I'd consider gourmet by any means, but it's perfect for the ambiance and experience. Be warned, this drive in is usually pretty busy, parking is limited and tables are usually filled, so waiting might be needed. Luckily, there are many places to walk around in the area.A Minnesota must!

Fun little stop over by the MN/WI border. Mini golf and some classic Americana (50's style diner) with drive up service Burgers are solid (we had mushroom and swiss) fries are good. Not a fan of the cheese curds they are a bit dry and they use yellow cheese. It's a nice little weekend stop over with the fam!

First time at a drive in burger spot. Appreciate the old school theme. The burgers here are decent. Thick burgers cooked medium well. We got the All American and it was delicious. We ordered a "basket" for the fries and root beer deal, but it didn't actually come with that many fries unfortunately. The root beer was pretty good though. We also had the honey mustard chicken sandwich and a side of cheese curds . The piece of chicken we got was like the size of chicken tender. Was a little disappointing. The cheese curds used yellow (American?) cheese which we weren't expecting and came with a ranch dipping sauce. They weren't too bad, but we would have preferred the ones with white cheese and with marinara on the side. Also, we ordered the cheese curds as an appetizer, but the waitress forgot to enter it and we got it after we it after finishing everything else. It was a fun meal overall and was nice to try it once, but we probably will try another spot if we're ever in the area again.

Love this place! We always stop after a full day at Wild Mountain. They have the BEST rootbeer ever. And I've tried a lot of rootbeerw. The vibe is so fun and unique. Service is always quick and we've never had to wait long.

Greatly appreciate that they offer a gluten free bun. For cross contamination purposes, it comes separately wrapped with your burger on the side. Little hard to put together, and bun is not fantastic, but again the fact that they offer it is greatly appreciated. Little sad that the root beer doesn't come in a frosted mug when you're eating on the patio but understandable. You can do the car service or eat on their patio.

After our hike, my friend, her daughter and I decided to stop by The Drive In for a burger and to play mini golf. The place is retro, so it's a nice little throwback for those that miss places like this. Their root beer is house made and they do charge you more if you want it in the glass mug. Be aware that there are lots of bees in the outdoor dining area! If you get a root beer, you will have 2 at your table for the majority of the time. So if you're allergic to them, keep this in mind. I wasn't bothered that much because I don't really mind.I ordered the all American burger with sweet potato fries. I really liked my burger, it was incredibly tasty, meat was delicious and the onions in combination with the sauce were perfection. The sweet potato fries were a bit over cooked, in my opinion. They tasted a little burnt. My friend didn't like her grilled chicken sandwich, she said it didn't taste like much. Oh and you also get a coupon 2 for 1 in Mini golf with a meal, I believe it was with the kids meal? Anyway, I would totally return for the burger and ambience. Loved how laid back it felt, retro and closely located to interstate park parking lot. Street parking is a bit tough on a busy day btw!

Great back to the 50's vibe featuring helpful carhops hustling to serve both customers in vehicles or at the many available tables. The menu selection is solid with our malts being delivered & delicious while we waited for our burger baskets to arrive. California Burger & Bacon Cheeseburger both tasty with handmade patties throwback to the way mom would make. Parking on site or on street plentiful.

Stopped here after hiking with the dogs along the St Croix River. What a dandy little place! Current owners have had it for 35 years and family was working today as car hops. If you like miniature golf, they also own the course right next door. The Frostop root beer was a portal back to childhood and is made I. House. We had the All American Burger, Cheese Curds and Homemade Root Beer. The dogs shared the burgers and curds with us and they loved them too. Love the retro feel and the old time drive in ambience. A fun stop and would go again.

If you're looking for a classic drive-in atmosphere, this is the place. However, be warned this place gets crazy busy and the bees are awful.Service was good - everyone was kind and the food was pretty quick. It was nice we were able to get our appetizers before the rest of the meal!We started with onion rings and fried green beans. Loved the onion rings, green beans were just ok for me. They're in a more unique batter that's very thick - I wish they had been beer battered but that's just my preference!I tried a friend's root beer and that was the star of the show. I've never had a root beer that tasted so rich and creamy - a MUST try even if you get nothing else.I got just a regular cheese burger, nothing special. It was tasty but really only a small step up from a fast food joint. We also didn't get to choose how cooked ours were, so some people had more raw burgers than others. I tried a friend's fries and was super disappointed in them, tasted like freezer fries. For a place known for shakes, you would think they'd have great fries for dripping.Finally, we ordered a vanilla and chocolate malt. Vanilla was sweet, creamy and delicious! Extremely disappointed in the chocolate, it was barely chocolate (you can even tell from the color in the picture). At least the malt came through but it needed some Hershey's chocolate sauce mixed in or something. Overall, would come back for root beer, ice cream and apps.
