Between the neon signs, classic cars always parked outside, and good old fashioned American food, drive-ins take us back to some of our most cherished childhood memories. Luckily, quite a few of these vintage eateries still exist throughout the Grand Canyon State, and they’re perfect for times when you want a side order of nostalgia with your burger and fries.

Easily the most stereotypical spot on this list, Mr. D's defines what a Route 66 diner is supposed to look like. Inside, you'll find checked floors, vinyl booths, and a jukebox playing classic tunes. Drop in at 105 E Andy Devine Ave., Kingman, AZ 86401 and treat yourself to a juicy burger and glass of homemade caramel root beer.
