Absolutely Delicious & Nostalgic! ✨✨✨✨

John’s Drive-In is a hidden gem that hits all the right notes. I had the taco hot dogs and a mug of their famous root beer, and it was everything I didn’t know I was craving! The taco dogs were packed with flavor messy in the best way and the root beer? Served in an old-fashioned glass mug, ice cold and perfectly sweet. The whole experience made me feel like I’d stepped back in time in the best way. If you’re anywhere near, do yourself a favor and stop by. This place is the real deal.

The customer service was fantastic friendly, fast, and welcoming. The food came out quickly and fresh. There’s outdoor seating, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Between the tasty food, great vibes, and that refreshing root beer, we love this place!

Highly recommend if you’re craving something simple, satisfying, and full of charm!

Best root beer you'll ever have. Get a root beer float and they also sell gallons of root beer to go
