We had a wonderful experience at The Drop In! My husband and I both tried the Reuben sandwich and it was absolutely delicious and huge. It could easily be shared between two people, though I happily saved half for later. The fries are hand cut and plentiful. The owners and staff are incredibly friendly and the cook even came out to check if I was enjoying my meal. They also gave us samples of Damian’s Lemonade, which was a lovely touch. A very nice family owned restaurant that we will definitely be returning to.

Got two cheeseburgers and they were good!! Handmade and tasted like home cooked nostalgia. The frozen lemonade was tasty and not too tart, like Italian ice. Strawberry puree was also a topping option. Price was a little steep, but worth it to support local. Inside was somewhat lackluster (but well kept!), so the outdoor seating was a nice plus (and they were fresh popping popcorn so it smelled divine out there!!). We’ll be back to try the ice cream gooey cake cups 🙂

Okay, how can you not love an old gas station turned into a restaurant? I live not far and decided to stop by one day. Glad I did. First impressions, the place is very neat, there are lots of tables outside and kids had been doodling with sidewalk chalk, it was so cute. Inside, the restaurant was very clean although curiously there was no signs of a kitchen anywhere. The gentleman behind the counter fixed my delicious strawberry lemonade and rang me up, (I ordered the royale burger with cheese and fries)and then we found a table. Okay, I’m going to say it, I’m still curious as to where the kitchen is and I don’t smell any food cooking About 15 minutes later I have a paper bag in my hand with some really beautiful fries and a delicious burger in it! The fries were the star of the show, they were perfect. I looked at the amount and decided I probably couldn’t eat them all because there were so many and I ended up eating every one! They were that good. The burger was basic but good. I don’t eat meat often anymore so it was a treat. The lemonade was amazing, it was frozen and I had strawberry added to it. Oh yes!
They also offer a selection of bottled soft drinks and water and you help yourself from the refrigerated case. Ice cream is also offered by the scoop. It looked delicious. Stop by for a quick fill up and enjoy.

Best burger we have found yet since moving to the area! The hand cut fries were delicious as well. Freshly made frozen lemonade was simply refreshing. The owner was the cook and was so attentive and kind, as was the man that took our order. On top of all that, the prices were very reasonable. Bathrooms and place were clean as well. Highly recommend!

So much flavor! Great friendly staff. Amazing frozen lemonade and he let me try the strawberry. I got the Reuben and it is on point!. I will be back for sure!
Update brought my husband back and he had the meatball sub, half chocolate/half oreo ice cream shake and loaded fries and he was very impressed. Delicious

Food was fresh and delicious. Huge portion size on the fries. So excited to be able to expose our kids to our childhood Damian’s frozen lemonade!! It tastes just like we remember, not too sweet and super refreshing. Inside is super cute & nice outdoor seating as well. They had sports on for adults and kids programming on one of the TVs for the kiddos. Everyone support this local spot so we can keep it!!

The Frozen Strawberry Lemonade is a must-try! I stopped by to check out the Damien Ice Slush and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere is casual and family-friendly, with a menu featuring hot dogs, burgers, and wings. Definitely adding this spot to my list of go-to places for a delicious treat!

The Drop In is in my opinion an instant favorite once you try it. Got the El Dirté as a double today and one of the Damian’s Frozen Lemonades and I am very happy about it. If you’ve never been go see them ASAP. They’re open from 11-6 most days I believe, wish it was later but will definitely be a go to lunch spot if I am ever craving a burger. Short and sweet menu, reasonable prices for food quality. Also they serve Ice Cream, was too full to try it today but will be back in the future no doubt!

This was place was really cool and it had a nice quiet and quaint vibe to it. The service was great. I tried the El Dirte burger and it was so juicy snd flavorful. And the fries, oh the fries tasted like fresh home cut fries. So good, so delicious, and the perfect amount of crunch. And the strawberry lemonade is absolutely to die for. It was soooo goooddd!!!! Everything was 10/10 definitely recommend. I can’t wait to try other things from here.

It’s great. The frosted lemonades are not too tart and not too sweet. The burgers are good – they are skinny patties on soft buns with pickles on top. The fries are skinny, sometimes over seasoned, but still good.
The hot dog is also good. The bun is soft.
They might close up early if it’s cold and they’ve been slow, but it’s worth a return trip.
I like the open dining area, although I’m sure if they are busy it gets loud. We usually get take out.
