We all find ourselves longing for the good ole days every once in a while. And while travelling back in time is impossible, you can get pretty darn close with a visit to one of Mississippi’s old fashioned drive-ins. Keep reading to see if we included your favorite eatery.
Fill up on all your favorite fast food eats at this Pascagoula drive-in, which has been in business since the 1950s. Just like the old days, orders are placed at the walk-up window. The vintage theme continues with the fare, which includes classics, like chili cheese burgers, hot dogs, cheese fries, shakes, and ice cream. Visit Edd’s at 3834 Market St., Pascagoula, MS 39567.

Another longtime favorite, Phillips Drive-In has been around for decades. And over the years, the eatery has perfected its classic, all-American fare of burgers and shakes. With a drive-thru as well as walk-up windows, it’s a great visit rain or shine. It’s located at 330 S Magnolia St., Laurel, MS 39440.
The Malt Shop is a must when in Natchez. Whether you’re craving burgers and fries or something a bit sweeter, you’re sure to leave satisfied. Grab your food to go or dine at one of the picnic tables out front – I suggest the latter because the food is so good, you won’t want to wait to dig in. Check it out for yourself at 4 Homochitto St., Natchez, MS 39120.
