South 21 Drive-In

About

South 21 Drive-In has served burgers from the same lot on East Independence Boulevard since 1955, and it still works like a proper drive-in. You pull into a spot, call your order in from the speaker box, and a carhop brings it out to the car. A few picnic tables serve anyone arriving on foot.

  • Hand battered onion rings are the side to order.
  • Chocolate shakes come thick enough to need a spoon.
  • It is family owned and has stayed that way for decades.
