This is the Clyde's Drive-in restaurant in Sault Ste Marie, MI. This Clyde's also features car hop service, a throw back to when this type of service was quite common. This Sault Ste Marie location is right on the St Mary's River and probably one of the few drive-ins where the customers back in. Backing in allows the outside diner to watch passing ships. 12-08

Here's the Triple XXX Root Beer from West Lafayette, IN. This Triple XXX was the first drive-in in Indiana, although I am not sure if they still have the carhops or not. It is in West Lafayette real close to the Purdue University campus. For more photos and info, see Roadside Peek's Spotlight on the Triple XXX Root Beer of West Lafayette, IN. 04-09

This Penguin Point drive-in location is one of several covering north central Indiana. This one has a neon penguin on the top.

According to the Penguin Point website, the first Penguin Point drive-in opened in 1950 in Warsaw. Today, there are 15 locations serving northern Indiana. The well known Big Wally double deck sandwich was named after the company founder Wallace E. Stouder Sr. 05-09

The neon sign and bright arrow light the way to the Big Star Drive-in in Kenosha, WI. According to the Chibbqking site, the Big Star is a family owned business that's been around since the 1960's. This drive-in is only open during the summer but is worth a stop for a burger or other fried goodies. 06-09
