The very first Bumpers Drive-In was opened in Brookhaven, Mississippi back in 1983 by S.L. Sethi, a Delta State University professor. Sethi had previously owned a Sonic franchise, and wanted to create his own fast food option.
In a time when frozen hamburger patties were common for these types of businesses, Bumpers Drive-In sought to break the pattern by offering high-quality, fresh food.

A burger and a milkshake is a classic duo, but you may want to step outside your comfort zone here! Both the hot fudge cake and the strawberry shortcake have a cult-like following. The sundaes are a home run, too.

Of course, you can always stick to one of the hand-mixed milkshakes. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
