With new restaurants popping up all the time – especially in the Twin Cities – it’s easy to forget old favorites. It’s even easier to forget those located far from any urban areas. But there are great small-town restaurants all over Minnesota waiting to be discovered – or rediscovered. One of the best is Earl’s Diner in Roseau, where they serve up classic burgers with a side of nostalgia. Take a look:

In Roseau, just miles from the Canadian border, Earl's Drive-In is definitely a classic. It's been around in the tiny town of Roseau for more than 50 years.

And during that time, the restaurant has drawn visitors from near and far. For many, a stop at this seasonal restaurant is a summertime tradition.

A classic drive-in restaurant, diners are served by carhops who are often decked out in '50s-style costumes. They come back with window trays loaded with food - just like you've seen in the movies.

Diners can also choose to eat outdoors at the cheery red-and-white patio.
