“ Vintage drive-in where you can enjoy a pure American menu and dine in your car, or inside. Perhaps not a first date sort of place but I’m not judging. Daily specials are sometimes great. ”

“ 03.27.11 This review is 100% biased. I was born in Eden, NC. My grandparents brought us here somewhat regularly, and, as a result, having "two cheeseburgers with mustard, chili, and slaw, along with a side of french fries and hush puppies" is my "Rosebud." The food is ridiculously good; they are a true Drive-In if you want, and if you ever anywhere near EDEN, NC, you should try them. 11.02.18 I was back in my birthplace for my 79 y/o Mom's wedding, so I *had* to stop by Dick's Drive-In a couple of times. First visit was a cheeseburger w/mustard, chili, slaw (which I've ordered since I was a child) and fries. Ridiculously good. Second visit was inside the restaurant w/brother and his awesome family. Seeing that Dick's had won "best hot dog in town," I ordered that with "the works" and my usual cheeseburger w/mustard, chili, slaw and fries. Also got some hush puppies for the family to try and some slaw. The hot dog was so vibrantly pink that my nieces recoiled but I devoured every bit of it and everything they delivered. My nieces were skeptical, but said they ended up loving it, which brought me joy. I heart this place. ”
“ Seems a lot of people really like their hotdogs but I must have been on an off day because mine weren't great but the chicken livers were AWESOME and the real star of the show, the hot fudge sundae with wet walnuts, was FANTASTIC! ”
“ Absolutely great friendly employees & service. Every single time it's a 5⭐ experience! Great food. Never a bad experience with anything all the way around! ”
