👍👍 I’m an OTR driver and these kind people brought me food. Well worth the money spent. Excellent flavor and fairly quick with the delivery. If youre a driver at the pork plant in Hospers they will deliver here. They just ask that you take care of the delivery driver. No complaints from me and I will b... People often mention cream, good,

    Love this place!! My grandpatents would take me here when I spent the summers with them when I was a kid. The ice cream, and pie are ALWAYS awesome!! I also really look forward to the chicken gizzards since I can't get them were I am from (AZ/NM)!!

    I’m an OTR driver and these kind people brought me food. Well worth the money spent. Excellent flavor and fairly quick with the delivery. If youre a driver at the pork plant in Hospers they will deliver here. They just ask that you take care of the delivery driver. No complaints from me and I will be ordering from here again the next time I’m in the area. Thank you all for the food.

    Good fairly priced food and delicious ice cream. Only reason I’m taking a star off is for the waitress. I asked her a question about an item on the menu and she said she didn’t know and did left it at that. After almost 30 seconds of silence I realized she wasn’t going to go ask someone else for the answer and left it at that. Definitely acted like she’d rather be anywhere else than there. Otherwise, the place was excellent.

    Classic small town drive in atmosphere and food. Huge menu at low prices. Very friendly service! Broasted chicken had a lot of meat and was very good. Triple bypass did not skimp on toppings. Next time I will order the gravy as a side for my fries. Ice cream was good, large serving sizes. We will be back!

    The food was either really good or not great at all. We had the chicken strips and they were good but the sides were not great.

    Mini golf in the dark. German chocolate ice cream. Dilapidated course for an extra challenge. Glow in the dark golf balls would be an improvement.

    The ice cream options are delicious! We love this old fashioned drive in atmosphere! We haven't tried the hot food options..

    I'm updating my review. As of April, 2023 the place is looking terribly run down. It took almost 10 minutes to order because the girl at the counter had to look everything up on a sheet to get a code/price. The food is still decent. It's a bummer that they don't use fudge on their hot fudge sundaes...they use chocolate syrup. I'd buy a bottle of Hershey's if that's what I was looking for.

    The food was rather plain for it being made to order. The staff didn't know how to use their new systems or even seem to want to take our order. Honestly you're better off getting a burger and sides at a gas station for a better price and quality.

    Was great. It is a small place and has been there for decades but has a nice seating area and there food is good. Surprisingly inexpensive food. Ice cream is good too priced as expected.

    Not a conventional drive through, you have to park your vehicle then go inside to order. Usually this wouldn't be an issue. However once I parked in their parking lot they told me I couldn't park in their lot and moved me to a wet muddy unpaved lot. Ice cream was good though.
