No matter where you live, restaurants seem to come and go and hardly ever stand the test of time. While this is all too common in this day and age, there are a handful of South Dakota restaurants that continue to wow multiple generations of customers, such as Wall Drug, Legends Steakhouse, and the old Philips Avenue Diner. In addition to these legends, one of South Dakota’s first drive-thru restaurants remains, and you are going to want to visit:

Open May through August is the iconic Murdo Drive-In; a 30-some-year-old South Dakota tradition that serves some of the best burgers in the state!

While the ambiance is reason enough to visit, it's the food itself that has been bringing back the same regulars for more than 3 decades.

While 3 decades may not seem like a long time in the grand scheme of things, it is in terms of restaurants!
