Dicks Drive-in

03.27.11 This review is 100% biased. I was born in Eden, NC. My grandparents brought us here somewhat regularly, and, as a result, having "two cheeseburgers with mustard, chili, and slaw, along with a side of french fries and hush puppies" is my "Rosebud." The food is ridiculously good; they are a true Drive-In if you want, and if you ever anywhere near EDEN, NC, you should try them. 11.02.18 I was back in my birthplace for my 79 y/o Mom's wedding, so I *had* to stop by Dick's Drive-In a couple of times. First visit was a cheeseburger w/mustard, chili, slaw (which I've ordered since I was a child) and fries. Ridiculously good. Second visit was inside the restaurant w/brother and his awesome family. Seeing that Dick's had won "best hot dog in town," I ordered that with "the works" and my usual cheeseburger w/mustard, chili, slaw and fries. Also got some hush puppies for the family to try and some slaw. The hot dog was so vibrantly pink that my nieces recoiled but I devoured every bit of it and everything they delivered. My nieces were skeptical, but said they ended up loving it, which brought me joy. I heart this place.

This my first experience at this establishment. I hadn't gone before simply because I generally don't like to eat in my car. I was made aware they have an inside dining as well. They have a very friendly staff that got us seated and drinks ordered. A nice selection of burgers and other fast food fair on the menu. I had the Woody Burger and thought it was really good. Your choice of sides and they have desserts if you have a sweet tooth at the end of your meal. The price was fair for a good meal and my only criticism is its cash only, although they do have an ATM machine on site. I'm sorry I waited this long to go to it.
