Absolutely love this throwback to the 50s and 60s ... a real live drive-in restaurant that still has carhops working the drive up sections under the awning. Now while you can also dine in at the limited seating inside, it is more fun to do it the old-fashioned way. BTW the carhops who work the drive up also work the dine in seating, and they were excellent ... always showing up just about when you needed something. Great service. The only hard thing here is ordering outside because one can't always see every part of the menu boards tacked up under the awning ... lucky enough, the carhops bring you the full menu. Food wise: we shared an order of Fried Mozzarella Sticks (4 star good, and they only needed just a bit longer frying to make the cheese inside creamy) and we shared an order of what they bill as the largest/best serving of fries in the world (another 4 star offering that was good, but barely fed two ... let alone being the "largest"). For mains: two of us had the Cruiser Burgers (both 5 star burgers), and the last in our party had the Blue Top Burger (4 star excellent with grilled onions). Just for fun, we also tried a Chicken Taco (3 star stuff, and not really their specialty). Our group had two shakes (5 star stuff here). As a drive-in, Blue Top also knows how to have some fun: they have live music outside from time to time, and they offer "cruiser nights" when customers can drive in their muscle cars and park in the attached lot. You just have to pass by every day and read the marquee outside to know what's going on that evening or weekend. The ambiance inside is true to its 50s roots with nostalgic pictures of car drivers and their machines all over the walls. All in all, this drive-in is true to its classic car roots. Open all year. Recommended. read more

I love checking out places like this, hidden gems that are out in the middle of nowhere without any sort of indication that it would be something special. But this place not only has good food and service, but the atmosphere just takes you away. The outside area to the drive-in is filled with old, cool cars, and the inside has the diner atmosphere filled with pictures of the restaurants regulars. If you're coming in from out of town or just happen to be looking for a one of a kind place, this is a good bet for a good lunch or dinner. Mostly burgers which come with amazing add ons, I ordered myself a chocolate milkshake which was quite good as well. If there's anything I can highly recommend from my own visit, the chilli cheese fries were off the charts. Definitely check those out if you like that kind of thing. Even coming here for the experience would be worth it! read more

Stopped in on a Saturday for lunch. The service was fine. She was around every time we needed anything and answered our questions. The place is very nostalgic lots of old signs and things to look at. The place has been around for a long time. There were a few classic cars parked there probably came from the Munster Car Show. The cheese fries were a little greasy but still nice and crispy. The chili cheese burger was good just needed to be cooked a tad less. The fries burger was just that a fried egg on a burger. No toppings at all. Probably our fault for not asking. Plenty of parking and outdoor seating. Will try again. read more

Marissa was my waitress. Seemed kind of racist. Very aggressive. Food was great. She just made me feel very uncomfortable by not being patient since it was my first time here and was rushing. Noticed her tone with me versus tables nearby was different. read more

Blue Top Drive In - Sully - Burgers Near Me - Highland, Indiana

I've been driving by this place for 20yrs. I have always said, I need to eat there, well the day finally came... It was a solid drive-in diner. This place has a lot of character, it is unique. I don't understand why people flock to chain burger places that are terrible. This place feels like America , The onion rings are beer battered ,light crisp and home made. There are 10+ burger choices. The fries were crisp thin and delicious. They serve Pepsi products... I had a double cheeseburger, my lovely wife had the mushroom Swiss. The only negative was the mushrooms were canned but that's me being picky. I look forward to bringing my girls here in the future, utilizing the car hops!!!! Did I forget to mention they have car hops?! Definitely will stop here from now on while in the area...or make a trip for one of the car shows. Maybe see you there... Enjoy #ghostlygourmet #AlfieEats read more

Daughter's golf team had had a good day, so we went to Blue Top to celebrate, about 8 pm Wednesday evening. Very few cars. We parked, no one came, so we went in. Car hop looked about 16 and I'm thinking it was her first week. We ordered burgers - very nice. Then we ordered hot fudge Sundays, got milkshakes. Turned out the carhop/waitress did not know what a "Sunday" was. She talked to the manager, and then we got our Sunday's. All good. read more

With the restrictions with COVID-19 we have been searching out different options. A co-worker suggested this place. What a great experience. Old fashioned drive in, so they take your order and bring it to your car. My husband had the chili which he enjoyed and I had their specialty burger which was delicious. I had the opportunity to meet the owner who was a really nice guy. Thanks for being there for us Chicagoans! read more

I would like to say first and foremost I used to work for Ben and Wendy Johnson when they owned Blue Top. They took pride in a clean restaurant. I walked into the dining room through the double doors and I was appalled. The glass looks like it has never been cleaned and between the double doors has become a filthy storage area. The floors in the dining room were filthy. I could not believe the women's restroom. The walls, floors, toilet, sink and mirror had not been cleaned in forever. I would have rather gone to a highway restroom. It was disgusting! IF I would have entered the building prior to eating I would have NEVER eaten there. The owners should be ashamed and the health department needs to visit! read more

Apparently the draw here is nostalgic because the food is barely average. I wanted to like this local place but came away feeling disappointed. read more

The chicken wrap was great and so was the burger! The shakes were over the top delicious. The only thing I would change would have been once we got our food if our waitress would have come to the car to see if we needed anything else. She asked when she dropped the food off and that was the last time we saw her. So you need to remember everything you may need at that time. Overall super yummy food! Worth the stop! read more

Today was the first time our family came to Blue Top. We're new to the area and while out running errands we stopped for lunch. I got the Chicken Shroom and fried. They went great with my chicken. Which I don't know what the season that chicken with but it's So Soooo good! My9yr old got a Pizza Burger&onion rings with a Dr. Pepper . My 10yr got a grilled cheese fries and a Oreo shake. My son wasn't a huge fan of the onion rings but loved my fries lol. So we traded. FYI his kids taste is off because the onion rings are Amazing. We loved everything. Everything was fresh and delicious we looking forward to coming back! read more

My son suggested this after I turned down White Castle. I'm glad that I stuck to my guns. The burger was pretty thick, about a 1/4 lb in size. They use brioche buns. The malt was thick, creamy, with a bit of an ice crunch - just the way I like it. I think that the patties are frozen, though. The shape was just too perfect, and it was kind of dry, like frozen patties tend to be. I spent $25 for two meals, including a large basket of fries. Just a little pricey, but ok for once in a while. read more

Such a cool place to eat. There really isn't anywhere around here like it. My friends and I always like to come here and eat outside after we finish playing street hockey in the summer. Delicious postgame meal & the shakes are great. Also, although I've never been to one myself, the car events look like a lot of fun anytime I see one as I drive by on Indy Blvd. I definitely plan to stop by one of those in the future. read more

Such a fun place to go eat, especially when it's nice out. The service was very good also, and was able to give us their opinions when we couldn't decide on which dish to order. It's a fun time, good drive-in food, and a summer must if you enjoy old cars. read more

My friend and I drove in we got the Western Burger and Western Chicken. Once the hot waitress brought them over, I was eager to eat my juicy sandwich. The food was mouthwatering. Once we finished our hearty meals we left a great tip and drove home surprised with the great service and delicious food. read more

Food is just like any burger around. The place is more nostalgic than it is a good restaurant. My order was missing an item and neither burger was made correctly. I wanted this place to be good. read more

Unless you are coming to gawk at classic cars, do yourself a favor and don't come at all. After years of waiting for someone to buy the Blue Top and turn it around -- what a disappointment. Blue Top is a refurbished Diner/Drive-In. Guy Fieri would call it a dive, too, if he tasted the food. Fries are frozen, burgers probably are too. And if you order a Fried Egg Burger like I did, you might get a scrambled egg burger. Good lord. I can go to another new burger place (named after Michael Stivic, hint hint) and get a burger made with fresh meat and a FRIED egg for less. Other family members got mayo, mustard and ketchup on their sponges -- err, buns -- and they got SOGGY. Yuck. When the best part of a burger joint's meal is the fried zucchini stick, watch out. Like I said, go to gawk at cars but bring your own food. Ain't that a shame? My tears fall like rain. Blue Top's the one to blame. read more

Tried a bite of a double cheeseburger and it was very good. I tried the freedom fries too also very good. The carhop was great. Very friendly and accommodating. So was the hostess up front. An overall great experience for a reasonable price. read more

The food was poor quality. I ordered a philly steak sandwich with onion rings and the shrimp basket with my fries for my son. The steak sandwich was okay.. it was bland and dry. & the onion rings were nothing more than mush. After breaking them open, I noticed there were no onions in them. The shrimp had the same exact mushy texture. My 8 year old son refused to eat it because he said 'it didn't taste right.' When I told one of the waitresses, she informed the mange who was absolutely RUDE & DISRESPECTFUL. After showing him the food, he told me there was nothing wrong with it and that it was my fault for ordering food I didn't like. Then when I asked for a refund, he became even more defensive! Not once did he try to fix the issue or replace the food. Instead, he insisted on how they serve nothing but quality food and how there was nothing wrong with it. SIR, YOU'RE IN DENIAL. The food is garbage. Don't waste your money or time coming here. I paid $30 for disgusting food and poor service!! read more

Stop in for a nostalgic meal. I tried the cheeseburger fries and a Pepsi. I enjoyed the burger, it was topped with the usual lettuce, tomato, pickles, but a delicious bonus was the grilled onions and what they called Blue Top sauce. The burger is 6 oz. and you can actually taste it, it doesn't get lost with all the toppings on the sesame seed bun. I ordered a small French fries but was given a large, no problem, but it was a full basket, enough for two if not three teenagers. The menu included a variety of ice cream treats, malts, shakes and sundaes, I'll try one next time I get there. I'm going to try and make it back for one of the summertime car shows. It should be a good time. Enjoy read more

Love the Big Ben Burger, juicy and big!! Meatloaf dinners are delish!! Big helpings, loads of fries!! Great shakes!! Gyro's are so good too. read more

I LOVE a good burger...unfortunately, Blue Top is NOT on that list, at least for burgers. If you want a good burger, head down the street to Minor Dunn or look for a Schoops. There is too much on the menu and needs to be trimmed so quality control is top priority. Lunch is not very busy, the times I have come, employee's or the same exact customers car's are parked under the canopy. Anyway, I ordered the so called famous "Cruiser Cheeseburger". The "Old Classic Bun" was an old classic bun alright, rock hard and stale. May have been left out or the package was left open. The patty should be listed as a brake pad, because it was way over cooked and dry - I'm not for sure, but the patty tasted like it was pre-cooked then re-heated. Finally the the mysterious "Hot Rod Sauce" tasted strange. The burger toppings were fresh. They have good fries - a generous portion, good mozzarella sticks and decent shakes. Will give them another try, but please get your burgers right. read more

I came in with my family and an online friend right when they opened and it was super nice, the only waitress there was lovely and treated us like we were family, the bathroom was nice and had paper towels instead of the loud and overstimulating hand dryer, the food was good and I'm super happy read more

My 13 year old son and I are frequent visitors of the Blue Top. Being newer to the area, we think it's a cool place to come for a burger after baseball games and when family is in town. The old school juke box inside is awesome! Food and service are usually great, laid back, cool atmosphere. read more

Fun retro dinning experience. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Food is what you'd expect....not over the top, but satisfying. Probably could use a little more cleaning, but again it's the experience. Not a fan of "show car" night...but understand that's a draw for many. I would recommend....but taper your expectations and just enjoy. read more

Love this place. I take my girls there and the love using the old school quarters jukebox at the table. Great shakes from an old fashioned soda fountain and great burgers. Try the grilled cheese burger which is a hamburger between double decker grilled cheeses. On Friday nights they have some cool old cars in the lot to check out. read more

I stopped by one Saturday morning a while back and ordered the hot dog special. As I've said before you gotta try hard to eff up a Vienna dog. The food was good, the service wasn't. I sat at the counter eating my food when a waitress slightly older than 12 politely walked up to me and said "don't you want to leave"? I just looked at her and finished eating. Needless to say I won't be back. What is the owner saying to employees, that they feel comfortable doing this? read more

Food is good, nice to see the new owners kept the place the way it should be - A drive in We were there and outside visiting with a man who owned a really cool older 30-40's car, He asked the waitress for a Blue Top sticker for his window, the waitress went and asked the owner. She came back and told the car owner NO ?? Maybe just me but I found this.....the owner of the car had food (so he spent money) and the Blue Top owner does not want to give out stickers that are most likely less than 50 cents each to get free advertising?? I saw this business in a whole different light after seeing this. read more

We welcome a Highland institution back! The classic 50s drive in has been reborn, refurbished and given a new chance at making memories for another generation. Car hops in poodle skirts take your order and deliver your order to your car. The food is traditional fare with a hot rod twist and the interior has been restored as good as new. Beverages include the usual soft drinks plus Green River and malts. read more

Blue Top Drive In - Chicken patty melt was amazing - Burgers Near Me - Highland, Indiana

Burger: an A. Big, juicy, flavorful patties on a substantial bun. This is a place where you don't need to order a double to get a decent amount of meat. Fries: A-/B+ Crisp and pretty tasty, but tasted like perhaps the cooking oil needed changing. Only available in one huge size. Vanilla malt: B- I've had better. Didn't taste like premium ice cream, and I could hardly taste any malt powder. Was more like a fast food chain shake out of a machine. Service: A. It's a drive-in, and so a kid comes to take your order and bring your food. They take plastic, and they even trust you to pay after you've finished your meal. (Who ever heard of this at a fast food place?) Price/value: B+. A double cheeseburger, fries, and small malt ran me $13, plus tip. Atmosphere: A. A retro-authentic true American drive in, the kind of which you see extremely few anymore. (This pertains to the outdoor part. The remodeled inside dining room tries a little too hard with the black-and-white checkered motif on floors and every seating surface. I walked through to use the men's room, and it almost gave me a headache.) read more

This place has gone down hill few years ago, so when I heard they re opened it I also heard wasn't that great. They use to be known for their burgers and shake. Last I went there before they closed was really gross. I may give them another chance since they have a new manager. Maybe.... read more

Nice ambiance outside with classic cars and often live music. Sadly, the inside is disgusting and doesn't look like it gets cleaned. After sitting for a while looking at the filth around me I received my food with a hair in it. I got my money back and walked out. What a disappointment. This place could be so cool if the inside was better. read more

This is an amazing place! It is a Community staple but I admit that I started going more often under the new AMAZING Management/Ownership. He has revitalized the "Collective/Auto Community in the last couple years. There has been more events that have attracted many from all over NW Indiana and Illinois. The food is fresh and the quality amazing! On Friday I had the shish kebabs and they were tender, full of flavor and just delicious. It was served with yellow rice. I have also had their soups and they are made fresh. Their Greek salad are crisp, served with the freshest ingredients and the grilled chicken is delicious. I have also had their shakes and they are made fresh to order. The staff is amazing! There are always regulars here because the owners let them know that they are at home. Lastly for me what is important in a business that I support is what they do in the Community. The Owner is very Community Focused. He is always thinking of ways to give back he has a heart of diamonds and gold. On Thanksgiving, he does free thanksgiving dinner and you cannot get more giving then that. Next week he is taking prices back in his hotdogs for 0.25. I cannot imagine our Community without this staple. read more
