These days, retro drive-ins are far and few between. However, they do still exist – and Bellemont Shake Shop is one of them. The iconic eatery has been serving up a classic fare of burgers and shakes since the 1960s! Take a look:
Located in Natchez, Bellemont Shake Shop opened back in 1963 as part of the Bellemont Shopping Center.

A prime example of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it,” the eatery hasn’t changed much since opening decades ago.

Orders are still placed at the walk-up window. There’s also a seating area, for those who choose to eat on-site instead of taking their grub to go.

Aside from a few additions, the menu, which is filled with fast food eats and sweets, has barely changed over the years.

Burgers, sandwiches, and sweets, like shakes, malts, and floats fill the menu.

Of course, there have been a few new items incorporated into the menu, such as fried chicken and the Big Belle, the eatery’s biggest burger.
