Small towns all over the mountain state often have a hometown restaurant everyone remembers – and still considers a go-to place for a nostalgic trip to the past while eating food that hasn’t changed in decades. In Mercer County, that would be Lynn’s – reportedly the only drive-in still open in this entire West Virginia county (according to the Mercer County CVB).

Anytime you're passing through Bluefield on Route 19, a short four-mile detour north will land you at the doorstep of this iconic eatery that first opened way back in 1950.

Since that day, Lynn's Drive-In hasn't changed. It still offers up the best hot dog in the county, coupled with curbside service with a smile.

From their hot dogs that everyone is simply wild about, to their shakes and fried pickles (and more!) Lynn's cooks up a flavorful storm of delicious American fare — and has done so for going on 70 years.
