A longtime favorite, it opened as Brown’s Drive-In in the 1950s. Sometime in the ’70s, the eatery was rebranded as Mullin’s Short Stop.

Not much about Mullin’s has changed over the years, including the fact that its grub consistently leaves diners full and satisfied.

And just like other retro drive-ins, Mullin’s serves root beer that’s worth bragging about.

But just because it’s a drive-in, that doesn’t mean you have to take your food to go. You can enjoy your food on-site thanks to plenty of outdoor seating.
