Baraga Drive-In

Food was lovely, but extremely expensive. Feels like gouging. We spent 60 bucks to feed five people, we did eat a lot but that is pretty ridiculous, the small pop was a 1.89 and it was probably 8 oz. I kid you not.

A carhop was at our vehicle quickly with a menu. Our order was simple so did did not take long to bring it us.

The custard is very creamy. They have plenty of ice cream flavors as well. The fries and cheese sauce were hot.

It is a fun spot to stop for a bite driving through Baraga!

A fun experience and the food was good. We had cheeseburgers and while the burger patties were thin, overall it was an above average tasting burger. I would guess that it’s the best burger in the small town of Baraga. Fiancé also had root beer and a flurrie and I had a hot fudge sundae that i couldn’t finish and the bill was $25. We ate in our car but there is a lovely patio with picnic tables and hanging baskets of geraniums to create a pleasant atmosphere. Service was great too. We wanted to buy tshirts the waitresses were wearing but she said they were having trouble even getting enough for the staff. If they could get them in different colors, I think they would sell to tourists. We were camping at the Baraga state park next-door. The only suggestion for improvement would be to play some oldies music instead of the heavy metal that was playing.

It was a really fun carhop experience with fantastic American fare. Root beer is excellent! Coney dog and BLT were our choices with a basket of fries. Everything was very tasty!

We had been driving about 9 hours, heading home, hadn't seen open food for a couple 100 miles. Turned a corner and headed for lights in L'ans and BAM...there's a Diner out my window bur my husband didn't see it. He NEVER turns around for anything...but I begged. And thank goodness I did. This place is SPECIAL. CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN, QUAINT, GREAT SERVICE, PERFECT FRIES, PERFECT BURGER with a nice buttery crisp edge on the Brioche bun. Chocolate Custard was good but needs more Chocolate flavor (my husband thought it was salted caramel when he tasted it...kinda did). His Strawberry Malt was also very good but we both struggled to taste the malt flavor. However, the full on fresh strawberry flavor was perfect. I grew up in the 70's working in my parents Drive In....this place checks ALL the right boxes. RUN...don't walk. And try it out.
