The drive-in: an American classic. Though these days you mostly find just drive-thrus around, there are still some old drive-ins hanging out in small towns. North Dakota actually has quite a few, and most of them have been around for decades. Many of them are still serving the same, quality food that hasn’t changed much over time, either. This drive-in in ND is a great example and it stands as almost a time capsule back into the good old days, and you can still eat their great burgers. Take a look:
The Westside Drive-In was established in Grafton, North Dakota in 1958, and it’s been there ever since.

From the exterior to the menu, not a whole lot has changed over the decades. It still has all of its nostalgic charm and great food and recipes. Pull on up and give it a spin for yourself.

Like any classic drive-in, you can order from your car or walk up to the window. There are tables outside if you’d prefer eating there instead of in your car, but you can do either.

The menu has a huge variety of good, old-fashioned American food. Burgers, like the mushroom and swiss shown below, chicken buckets, basket dinners, hot dogs, and other sandwiches such as an awesome grilled cheese are all available - and so much more.

There is a multitude of sides and desserts, including the necessity for all ’50s and ’60s eateries: milkshakes and malts. You can even get fun mix-ins to add to your frozen dairy treat.

The Westside Drive-In has kept all its fantastic qualities of an old-fashioned drive-in restaurant while also keeping the quality food and fantastic meal options - and you’ll love visiting it for all of those reasons and more.
