Life can get really, really hectic. Finding time to unwind, engage in a lively conversation, and have a leisurely meal certainly can be a challenge. Slow things down for a bit, even if just for an hour or so. Turn off your cell phone. Push your worries to the back of your mind. And, stroll through the front door of this drive-in restaurant in Missouri that will make you swear you’ve traveled back in time.
Journey back through the pages of time when you sink your teeth into a scrumptious burger at Gordon's Stoplight Drive-In, known for its famous burgers, in Crystal City.
A neighborhood staple since it opened in 1948, the drive-in exudes a 1950s style with its long counter, stools, and delicious selection of comfort food.
And, what would a trip back to yesteryear be without a delicious, thick milkshake? Kick off your meal with a chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, or pineapple hand-dipped milkshake.
Of course, you might also want to try one of "the best hamburgers in the world since 1948." Choose from a traditional burger or cheeseburger, a double or triple burger, or the famous jumbo burger, the latter of which is topped with chopped onions, coleslaw, and barbecue sauce.
