Recently, we’ve had to alter the way we dine out. However, there are a few places where the dining out experience hasn’t changed, such as drive-ins. Specifically designed for to-go orders, drive-ins are the perfect option for dining out when staying in is a must. Read on for seven of the state’s best drive-ins.
- Phillips Drive-In

PDI / Phillips Drive-In/Facebook A longtime favorite, Phillips Drive-In has been doling out great grub for decades. And over the years, the eatery has perfected its classic, all-American fare of burgers, shakes, and other fast food eats and treats.
Address: 330 S Magnolia St., Laurel, MS 39440
- Rebel Dip Drive-In

Jason B/TripAdvisor This family owned and operated drive-in has been in the business of good food for over 50 years. Now a Gulfport staple, locals know it’s the place to go for a mouthwatering burger. Order a milkshake to wash it down for a true Rebel Dip experience.
Address: 12399 US 49, Gulfport, MS 39503
- Saxon’s Drive In

Saxon’s Drive In/Facebook Saxon’s may not look like your typical drive-in and that’s because it isn’t. In addition to a standard drive-in fare of fast food eats and ice cream-based treats, the eatery serves up homemade lunch specials, which include everything from hamburger steaks to rib-eyes.
Address: 601 W Madison St., Houston, MS 38851
- Rockin’ K Drive In

Quinton/Zomato Like many rural Mississippi towns, Liberty is home to a hidden culinary gem, otherwise known as Rockin’ K Drive In. Aside from the “best burger in south Mississippi,” the menu features po’ boys, sandwiches, salad, catfish, seafood, and ice cream.
Address: 855 E Main St., Liberty, MS 39645
- Frostop

Connie Harr/Google This small town staple has been in business since 1951, and if you’ve ever had the pleasure of tasting the food you know why. The po’boys are awesome, the hamburgers are too good for words, and the old-fashioned floats make for the perfect ending to any meal.
Address: 305 US-11, Picayune, MS 39466
- Knight’s Drive Inn

Jana Sikes/Google An unassuming eatery that’s been in business since 1964, Knight’s is most known for its gigantic country fried steak sandwiches. There’s much more to indulge on than country fried steak, though. The mouthwatering menu includes US raised catfish, BBQ, burgers, salads, and more.
Address: 1203 105th St. S, Amory, MS 38821
- Dairy Kream

860SusanB860/TripAdvisor For decades, this drive-in has been serving up hearty helpings of nostalgia in the form of fast food eats and delectable sweets. Though each item on the menu is as tasty as the next, it’s the drive-in’s trademark soft-serve ice cream that customers can’t get enough of. Enjoy the sweet treat in cones, malts, shakes, banana splits, and more.
Address: 796 E Main St., Tupelo, MS 38804
