My boy doesn't do well in restaurants and loves riding in the car so I take him to drive-ins. So were are some good ones around here?
Thanks Larry

Gus's East troy

Thats all that I can think of. Eating in the car at places like kopps and omega is pretty common.

I think the A&W on 27th is closed, but I could be wrong.

I will never ever ever ever ever ever go to big star again. That is the dirtiest place I have ever seen to serve food and they are always busy. The first time I went there the chick was throwing garbage away and knotting up the bags and when our food was up she just grabbed it and brought it out.

I brought to her attention I wasnt taking that after she handled garbage and her response was "sorry, I was in a hurry and we close soon"


Figured okay fluke right??? Wrong. two months later watched a guy rub his nose and face as if having an itch and then prepare burgers. Never been back and I live on that road!!!!

The atmosphere at Gus' is cool, but I find the food boring at best. I grew up on Kopps and my allegiance is strong.

kiltie has actual car hop girls. The sites where not bad at all and the food was great. A few of the girls where in my grad class others seemed pretty young. But the atmosphere is pretty cool with all the neon lights and the girls bringing the food to your car in mini kilts.

" one thing about high school girls is I keep gettin older they keep stayin the same age"

im opposite to you. I like the heavy chevy burger which doesnt mean all food is good, just that one item I guess but unless I have some buddies from here there to talk to its really boring cause those old fuds wont talk car for shit unless you look to be older than 50

Kiltie in Oconomowoc FTW! It's on the Frontage road off Hwy 16, you exit Brown Street (Hwy P North), turn left (if you're heading into Oconomowoc), then turn right on the Frontage Road...

Delicious Food & Ice Cream Stuff, Kristie and I are huge fans!
