Reviews For A C Drive-In

Food was really good, service was very fast, food was served hot. My wife commented that it was like fast food speed, but quality was better. Following the ANDY method, we made sure we purchased the AC cheeseburger (since it was named after the place) and then we also purchased chicken strips. Both were very good, but the best part to me was the fries and sauce. Very tasty fries, and they were hot which is always a plus. I highly recommend both the fry sauce and the white sauce. The one downside is that in the winter it is cold to stand outside and order your food—you can use the drive-thru and you may be able to call in or do a mobile order (not sure, but I saw someone who was served and never got out of their car, so probably). But overall positive experience of this place!

My family has been going here for a long time. I can remember my grandmother bringing home there delicious fries and hamburgers. I love coming here and getting the farmer brown combo. Little but on the spendy side but the food is worth it

The food is all very delicious and fresh tasting. It is not a fast food place. So make sure you have extra time for the wait. Trust me, the wait is worth it. We haven't tried everything on the menu yet, but we do plan on attempting to. If you love onion rings, please try them here and see what you think.

AC has been our family and friends favorite place to eat takeout for many years.Something about their sauce they put in the sandwiches makes it so good and memorable!Not to mention their shakes are always delicious and satisfying after a meal.Also give customer service an A every time!

My mom used to love eating at this establishment and as she is deceased, I thought why not give it a try again. The food was excellent. Tractor pulls were happening across the street at the fair grounds and it was exciting.

AC Drive-In has awesome customer service and the best owner! That chocolate milkshake hit the spot! I'm looking forward to going back for the food someday. It smelled amazing.

We drive by here all the time and decided to stop by for a burger and I was blown away! The most delicious old fashioned burger I have had in a long time! The service was great, they brought a menu to our car being the first time I had been there and the time was very reasonable and prices as well for such a tasty and amazing burger! We will definitely be visiting again!
