Jay's Drive In: Reviews & Ratings
I get burgers wherever I go for a meal. With that said, this place has a great burger! I would recommend anyone stopping for a quick bite to eat. Great atmosphere, roof over the car was a nice escape from the sun on a hot day as well. I will be back!
Such a fun experience always! Consistently good food and ice cream. If you want to experience Oregon, don't miss this spot!
Absolutely charming destination, about a 30 minute drive from where I'm at, but I would make that trip many more times to enjoy the Chicago dog, the best Chicago dog you can get outside of the city. 10/10 would recommend
We got there when they first opened, so the wait for our food wasn't too long. The food was hot and tasty. We always stop here for lunch when we're visiting....and we will next time, too.
This is such a fun, nostalgic place that is great for everyone of all ages. Dine in or pull up outside and experience the car hops. The food is great and the ice cream and root beer is phenomenal. Afterwards, walk it all off by the nearby Rock River. Stop by and try it, I promise you will want to go back.
My wife and I both had the tenderloin and it was amazing! The tots were very good and the rootbeer was perfect, not too carbonated or too sweet. The curbside servers were very friendly as well. The sign says everything is made to order so if you're in a hurry ask your server about wait times. It should just say, everything is made to order and worth the wait. We will definitely be stopping in again and trying a rootbeer float.
The girls are always very customer friendly. Food is good. They still do the order at the car with the speaker and they'll bring it out. 50s 60s atmosphere. Fun deco. Even got a juke box. (Not sure if it works) Blue Moon is MY FAVORITE!!!
We got two kid meals, a classic double hamburger, a chicken bacon ranch wrap, curly fries and an order of cheese curds. Everything tasted amazing other than the burger didn’t have much flavor. The wrap is HUGE. Overall we had a great visit and would recommend it to someone.
