A fun and quick shake stop as we drove through Salina! There wasn’t any indoor seating that we saw. You just go to the outside windows to order, pay, and get your food. Service was great and our shakes came really fast! We got a small shake and felt like it was a descent price. We LOVED how many brownie and cookie dough chunks were in it (we feel like that is often skimpy at other places). So thank you for a delicious shake! We took our shakes to go, but we did see there was a sitting area with tables/seating and a nice grass area just across the parking lot.

Such a nice stop on our way to Colorado. We stopped for their yummy shacks and rootbeer floats. The burgers were delicious and I love their burger/ fry sauce. Even at 91 degrees it was so nice to sit in the shade to eat and they keep it really clean. The service was fast and quick. Maybe too fast of service because the fries could have been cooked just a little bit longer but they were still good.

Very reasonably priced local drive in with a drive through. I really like that they have small sizes like a baby soft serve ice cream for about n 50 cents. Refill drinks for $1.37 I believe and I loved my fresh lime.
The banana split is huge and really good – but note that it’s made with vanilla soft serve. We got marshmallow, chocolate and strawberry sauce.
The pretzel is really good, even better than I expected. Other than it being a little confusing about where to order and pick up, it’s great.
There’s plenty of outdoor seating, some on the east side and some on the other side of the parking lot with picnic tables on the grass.

I went in to get my grandson a kids meal. I mentioned to the gal I really cannot eat greasy food and she suggested a craisin salad with grilled chicken. I am hooked that was the best salad I have had in months. I can now got there with my family to the hotspot and there is something on the menu that will agree with me. Thanks to the gal who suggested it. You made a bad day better!

I work out of town A LOT and a local couple recommended Hot Spot for lunch one day and they were not wrong. Food was great (ate there 3 times in a week) and the staff was very friendly. Thanks for the experience it was great !!

Food and location is great. Milkshakes out of this world and almost fluffy like. Only complaint is the oil for the fries definitely needed to be changed and could taste it. Would recommend!

Mediocre spot at a good price. Had the Swiss Mushroom burger and it barely had any mushrooms and tasted mostly like pickles. The homecut fries were not really fried, just soft and kinda sad. It was pretty busy and the ice cream looked real good.

Fun little drive-in spot. Decent patty melt. Yummy chocolate malt. My daughter was excited they have corn dogs in the menu. Good ranch dip. Would stop again when passing through. No bathroom and only outdoor seating, but that was fine for a nice summer evening.

Sometime back summer 2 or 3 years ago:
Had a delicious double cheeseburger. Their home made fries are fresh and good. A bit different from what I’m used to or from other places. Recommend you to sit by the grass (no flies then). They have some great shakes as well.
Friendly staff, got a free refill.

Great road side diner with two picnic tables situated next to the highway and a street. Walk up order and pickup. Burgers and ice cream. Nice vibe. Open until 9pm. High service score due to convenience (one of few places open), effort, and attitude (very young group working diligently to fill orders.) Management could keep the exterior in better condition- both tables had been used and needed cleaning, litter in outdoor spaces and exterior surfaces need cleaning.
