There’s something unique about an old-school small-town drive-in restaurant. It feels like you’ve left the modern world behind and stepped back into the world of soda fountains, sock hops, and discos. No matter what you eat there, be it a hot dog or hamburger, it feels special – so imagine how much more special it’ll feel when the menu has some surprises, as well. To find a truly one-of-a-kind, old-school drive-thru in Iowa, head to the small northern Iowa town of Lake City. That’s where you’ll find the Lake City Drive-In, in a small town of just over 1,700 people and far away from any of Iowa’s major cities. This unique roadside restaurant is sort of the heart of its town’s dining scene – and we’re not surprised, because it puts a level of effort into its food that’s rare to see in this day and age. Come with us and discover why it’s worth making the trip all the way up to Lake City to dine here!
