    We stopped here after a day at Jordan Lake, thinking it would be cool to eat at a drive -in to complete the experience. The three of us ordered the #6 cheeseburger combo, upgraded fries to cheese curds, and got a root beer float instead of just an A&W root beer thst came with the, mini corn dogs & fries, and the #7 double burger combo. The staff was very friendly and efficient with taking our orders. The orders arrived shortly thereafter. The root beer float was a frosty treat, bubbly root beer topped with a soft swirl of ice cream. The fries were comparable to a small size fries from a fast food chain. The corn dogs tasted like they had been in the freezer for too long, the burger patties also tasted like old, stale, mystery meat. The burgers were completely unremarkable. It contained cheese that had no form, as the liquid tan off of the burger, two pickles, and ketchup. To summarize: AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!! WE GOT FOOD POISONING that night and felt miserable to say the least. If you must go, stick with the chiller menu and fries, skip everything else because you will get sick!

    I had the Papa Burger with cheese curds- it was awesome! It was clean and the staff was friendly. I liked drinking the root beer float out of a glass mug. It is a drive-in, but there are also tables outside. The restaurant is right next to the Wisconsin river. It is worth it to walk across the street and walk along the levy after you eat!

    The root beer floats are quite literally the best, especially paired with cheese curds.
