Come summertime in Minnesota, there is nothing better than enjoying a meal in the great outdoors. While there are endless outdoor patios and plenty of good places to make a campfire, we think it’s time for drive-in restaurants to make a comeback. There are many all across the state, including one that just reopened after several years closed. Next time you’re in St. Louis Park, stop into the quirky and colorful Galaxy Drive-In. This eye-catching spot is back in business, and it serves up great, classic diner food!

If you've ever driven down Highway 7 in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, you've likely noticed a colorful, well-lit restaurant with a retro-looking sign. Galaxy Drive-In is hard to miss along this route.

However, the restaurant was closed for several years, starting after its 2015 season. Five years later in 2020, they're back open for business again! This beautiful 1950s-style drive-in is like a trip back in time.

It's easy to see why places like this were popular. You can pull up to the speaker if you'd like a quick bite in your car. Or you can take a seat at one of the many picnic tables on the restaurant's grounds.
