Reviews
"Been looking forward to coming here after reading some of the reviews, but was disappointed. I love patty melts and was disappointed, it was more of a burger on rye bread, hardly any sauted onions and bland. Ordered season fries, which were luke warm and tasted like they sat under a warmer for awhile. Coleslaw didn't look very fresh either. I love old diners like this, but this one looks uncared for and the kitchen didn't look well kept from what I could see. Sad but I won't be back. Looks good from the photos, but photos can be deceiving."
"Went here for dinner the other night and had a great time it's definitely a small restaurant but there were always one or two tables open. One of the more interesting aspects of this place is they still do window delivery The only other place I know that still does it is the A&w in Frankfort. The kids burger comes in this adorable cardboard '57 Ford Fairlane hot rod our server was very nice and she gave us a car even though we did not order a kid's meal. I got the CharBoiled chicken breast And it was delicious I will definitely be coming back to Don's Drive-In and I recommend others check it out too!"
"What a great diner! We stopped here during our stay in Traverse City and glad we did. Decor is retro and bright. Staff is attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Food was amazing - from the chili dogs to the onion rings and fried clams. Kids meals come in a paper folded classic car from the 50s. Seating is a little cramped but not too uncommon for a diner. Highly recommend a stop if you're visiting the area. Oh I almost forgot - get an order of fried pickles. They are fantastic!"
"This place is not retro, it's the real deal. Been around since the 1950s. We enjoyed Burger baskets and malteds. Burger baskets were served hot and delicious and the shakes are thick and flavorful. Service was good. Prices are reasonable and the venue is clean. There is now CarHop service as well as indoor dining. Restrooms are available. A fun part of any trip to traverse City!"
"Love the vibe of this retro drive-in diner! We opted to enjoy the curb side drive in service. Hit the button below the menu and they will come out to your vehicle. We ordered burgers, car load of fries( more than enough for 5 adult eaters!!), onion rings and a real fruit shake. Everything was great!"
