Swope's Drive-In

Great cheeseburger and curly q fries and maybe the best cherry 🍒 sprite I've had in a long time

Great burgers! Had the cheeseburger, wife had the bacon cheeseburger, and son had the chicken sandwich. We all left happy and full! The Suzie Q fries are good but could have used more seasoning. One order contains an obnoxious mound of fries. 🙂 Great value! Highly recommend.

This is actually a fantastic little hamburger joint. Having never been here, I said to myself "When in Rome" and proceeded to order the Swope burger, sour cream fries and butterscotch milkshake. Mind Blown... This is a gem that should be packed by travelers headed to and from KC.

Swope’s Drive-in is a charming little old diner with decent classic American diner food. Passing through the small town, we initially went to the Boathouse for catfish. They locked their door early so we came here. Swope’s was closing soon too but greeted us in a friendly way and served my family dinner. I got the bacon cheeseburger and it was a good, classic burger that tasted delicious and homemade. My husband got the pork tenderloin sandwich which was also tasty. My young son got a classic corn dog, which was fine but he was raving about the bite of the burger he got. The fries were piping hot and we just added a little salt. We had fun looking at all the old Americana decor while we waited for our food. When we got it, we ate at their outdoor picnic tables because it was such a nice evening. There were two other young families doing the same. We’ll definitely stop here again on our way through town.

Burger was amazing. Perfect greasy cheesy goodness. Suzy Qs were a little lackluster because they were in a solid block and unsalted so they were a bit hard to eat. When we go next time I'll definitely just opt for fries or tots. But we will for sure be back for the burger! Also, very reasonably priced!
