Don's Drive-in - Elmwood Charter Twp

This is a really great place if you're looking for great 50's Americana-style food with a 1-2 punch of nostalgia. The 3/4lb aptly named MONSTER burger is a sight to behold, and a pleasure to indulge in. Be warned though, it's not for the casually hungry... it's a real commitment. Happily, the beef they use makes the journey a real pleasure. Top notch flavor, and the staff are just great. There's a fairly tall and larger gal who waited on us. What a joy to be around, she's doing something right in her life because she's just the sweetest thing. She looks like she jumped right out of the 1950's, heart and all. Everything on the menu is delicious, and if you don't top it all off with a real fruit shake or malt (with huge chunks of fresh fruit in it that make it otherworldly), then you're missing out. The entire place is just a true Traverse City gem that can't be overstated and shouldn't be missed.

My Mother's favorite place. Reminds her of going there with my Dad.

A perfect diner experience. Cute decor good food at fair prices great friendly service family friendly

First time back in a long time and the food was Awesome Sauce.

Have been with a big party while busy, and with a few while not busy. Great time, both times. Great food.
