Recently, Connecticut Magazine announced that Lake Zoar Drive-In won their award for Best Burgers in Connecticut. This is no surprise since this unassuming drive-in and its amazing mouth-watering meals have made “Best of…” headlines ranging from local news to Food Network. What is it that makes Lake Zoar Drive-In so special?

When Mike Basso took over the food stand on Zoar Beach on Route 34 in 1993, he knew the Lake Zoar Drive-In wasn't going to change an already winning recipe. Instead, he put the focus on expanding the best parts of the already popular restaurant by adding high-quality specialty items to the menu.
