The Hoosier Drive-In is a popular yet low-key eatery in northern Indiana that hasn't changed since it opened nearly six decades ago. From the atmosphere to the menu, just about everything is the same as the day it opened.
In business since 1960, this old-fashioned drive-in restaurant is simple inside and out. Guests may sit indoors or out on the benches when the weather is nice.
Popular menu items include burgers, sandwiches, chicken fingers, corn dogs, hot dogs, fish, tenderloins, BBQ pork, and grilled chicken. Everything is made fresh to-order.
When it comes to sides and appetizers, you could make a meal of these delicious snacks. Locals enjoy corn nuggets, onion rings, cheese sticks, deep fried pickles, spicy mac and cheese bites, sweet potato fries, and jalapeno poppers.
The Hoosier Drive-In is open Monday through Thursday between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m., Friday between 11 a.m. and 9 p.m. and again on Saturday between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. Stop by for a totally tasty budget-friendly meal in an iconic restaurant that history has been nothing but kind to.
