About Bears Drive-Inn

Bears Drive-Inn is a quintessential small town eatery that offers a delightful array of classic American fare. Situated along the Mississippi River, this roadside stand catches the eye with its large bear logo adorning the building. The menu features a range of delicious burgers, hot dogs, and an impressive selection of ice cream treats, including the popular Frazil slushie. It also offers many ice cream options. While the food may not be the healthiest, it's a classic, affordable option for those passing through the area. The prices are reasonable, and the local atmosphere adds to the charm of this establishment. Though it only accepts cash, Bears Drive-Inn remains a beloved spot for both locals and travelers seeking a taste of small-town hospitality.

The long summer hours allow families to grab ice cream after baseball games, making it a nostalgic stop for everyone.
