Once upon a time, the neighborhood drive-in restaurant was the place to go for date night or with the family. Those old-school drive-in restaurants may not be as popular in 21st-century America, but we still have quite a few places that can quench our thirst for nostalgia. This drive-in restaurant in Wentzville, Missouri, promises a throwback experience and a delicious meal. What more can we ask for?
Some diners swear that not much, if anything, has changed at Pete’s Drive-In in Wentzville, a neighborhood staple since 1966 that still exudes that 60s vibe and an old-school menu to match.
Once you’ve had a meal at this old-fashioned diner, you’ll likely agree that it’s the place to go for a stroll back decades and to dig into a delicious meal of classics.
A meal at an old-school diner means sinking your teeth into the most famous of couples – a burger and fries. Pete’s grills a variety of burgers and cheeseburgers. If you’re really hungry, order a triple burger.
Or how about trying one of Pete’s Favorites? A chili dog, a hot dog, or a BLT pairs oh-so-deliciously with fries, onion rings, baked beans, or coleslaw. (Those are just a few of the tasty sides on the menu.)
If you’re really hungry, dig into the shrimp, catfish, or chicken dinner. Perfect for two or the whole family, chicken dinners are available in two to 21 pieces and come with fries, coleslaw, and rolls.
What would a meal at an old-fashioned diner be without a mug of root beer, a shake, or a malt? You just have to decide what flavor shake or malt – chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, or pineapple.
