Vintage drive-in where you can enjoy a pure American menu and dine in your car, or inside. Perhaps not a first date sort of place but I’m not judging. Daily specials are sometimes great.

Great food. The lady taking the orders outside was so friendly. I ordered the fried chicken plate and my husband order the fried fish sandwich. Both tasted amazing and filled us up. Definitely try the banana pudding if you go.

Pull up and this super kind waitress comes out and helped up pick what we wanted to eat and gave us a minute to look over the menu. We got the food in a timely matter and it was not a bad price at all. The taste was very good. I got two hot dogs, fries, and a cheerwine. Come here if you want a good meal and to be treated kindly.

03.27.11 This review is 100% biased. I was born in Eden, NC. My grandparents brought us here somewhat regularly, and, as a result, having "two cheeseburgers with mustard, chili, and slaw, along with a side of french fries and hush puppies" is my "Rosebud." The food is ridiculously good; they are a true Drive-In if you want, and if you ever anywhere near EDEN, NC, you should try them. 11.02.18 I was back in my birthplace for my 79 y/o Mom's wedding, so I *had* to stop by Dick's Drive-In a couple of times. First visit was a cheeseburger w/mustard, chili, slaw (which I've ordered since I was a child) and fries. Ridiculously good. Second visit was inside the restaurant w/brother and his awesome family. Seeing that Dick's had won "best hot dog in town," I ordered that with "the works" and my usual cheeseburger w/mustard, chili, slaw and fries. Also got some hush puppies for the family to try and some slaw. The hot dog was so vibrantly pink that my nieces recoiled but I devoured every bit of it and everything they delivered. My nieces were skeptical, but said they ended up loving it, which brought me joy. I heart this place.

One of the best burgers I’ve ever had. I got 2 burgers, 2 fries, 2 drinks and a slice of pie for under $20! Service was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I would recommend a big Jim with cheese, slaw, chili, ketchup, mustard, and grilled onions. Great experience. I’ll be sure to stop by next time I’m in town.
