On a hot day, there’s nothing like a frosty mug of root beer from this iconic drive-in. Add a scoop of ice cream and you have the best Black Cow in town.

First visit here. Really takes me back to the good ol days! Sad that the area is kinda run down around them, but food was delicious. We had Whizburgers, tots and onion rings to eat and everything was fantastic for a little burger shack! The prices and carhop service were great as well! We also had root beers and nothing is better than on-site made root beer; it has so much more flavor than those name brands. So, first time and first impressions: Wow! I was impressed! We will definitely return to this awesome throwback burger shack!!!

Old time comfort food goodness! The direct to car ordering and order delivery is so nice in an over automated society. The car hop gal is super friendly and professional and has a positive attitude at her job even when it’s cold outside. Had Whiz Burgers, tots, and onion rings and all were fantastic! Also, the root beer is some of the best I’ve ever had! Highly recommend this old school eating establishment!

Definitely an awesome old school drive in. Their burgers were delicious, but definitely the initial shock on how they looked threw me off. The tots were probably my favorite side, but the fries were also tasty. Their prices were great especially after finding out their burgers were absolutely delicious. Staff were friendly and service was fast. Overall I’d say this is a place everyone should check out at least once because then you will be hooked on their delicious food.

A bit pricey than I remember but definitely worth stopping in and getting the best root beers in town .

Visited Mugs-Up for the first time. They have car-hop service just like in the old days. Our server was great.
The burgers taste good, they are unique compared to other retro-burger joints in town and the crinkle cut fries were especially good. I’m not usually that into fries so they did a good job.

Been coming here for decades. It’s an old school drive in right out of a movie. About everything here is good, but if you don’t get the Black Cow you’re REALLY missing out!

People say certain old-school drive inns are the best ever… I usually run there & end up disappointed. I am telling you, this meal was legit in my top 5 faves!
They serve loose-meat burgers (sorta like sloppy joe style, without the tomato sauce), hot dogs with house made chili, house made onion rings & their very own house root beer!!! I ordered all of those to taste a variety & ended up eating every bite. Can’t wait to go back

This place is super affordable and the food is pretty darn good for your hole in the wall, junk food type places. The whiz burger was so good, crinkle fries nothing special, onion rings were good, we got the gallon of root beer and loved it. These are loose meat burger sandwich with velveeta cheese for the cheese burger. Soooooo good. Burger bun are comparable to McDonald’s cheese burger but a lot more meat. Meet is seasoned well. My girls had chili cheese fries and said they were really good as well. We will be returning.

I’ve eaten from here for many, many years thanks to family. Today was like any other day, and when I got a couple of their Whiz Burgers today.. I knew I’d revel in eating some comfort food. One looked great/fine. But *THIS* one takes the funny roflcake. I’ve never seen their burgers look like this one out the wrapper. This looks like a one-eyed bionicle, but also like a halo helmet. The meat looks like a visor from one view. Very funny. Keep up the culinary art, cooks. Lmao.

Love this place. The bugs are always on point. The chili cheese tots are delish.
