Everyone Goes Nuts For The Hamburgers At This Nostalgic Eatery In North Dakota

The classic drive-in restaurant was a huge hit in the 1950s and 60s. Being able to just park your car and not even have to get out was great. Today the only ones left are usually part of a single fast food chain, but there are a few real, old drive-ins out there that have managed to survive this long. North Dakota has one specific spot that continues to be popular – and there’s a good reason for that. Along with the nostalgia you get from going here, everyone goes crazy over their burgers.

Pull up to this place and try one for yourself!

Located in the capital city Bismarck, North Dakota is a classic drive-in where burgers are their specialty.

This classic spot draws in tons of people not only for the nostalgia of being at a drive-in, but also because their burgers are by far some of the best in the state.

These burgers are delicious in every way. They come in many varieties other than your classic hamburger or cheeseburger. You can get the classic toppings...

... Or try something a little more interesting, such as their pizza burger, tartar burger, BBQ bacon cheeseburger, or bacon jalapeño melt.

All of these burgers are topped with fresh ingredients in combinations you didn't even know you liked. These are easy to get obsessed with after a single bite!

Stack your burger higher with more than one patty. You can even go more than two if you dare!

Beyond the burgers, they have a full menu loaded with items. Their sides include all the classics but the fries are the best to pair with their burgers. These addicting fries come in a round cup that is made to fit in your car's cupholder. They're awesome!

The kids meals come in the cutest car boxes that can fit their sandwich and side, giving them the name of kids classic cruisers.

Speaking of cruisers, every Wednesday night during summer, Scotty's hosts a Cruise Night for classic cars to head out for a bite and fill up the spots to truly make the place the best nostalgia trip you've ever experienced.

If these pictures didn’t make you crave a great burger, then I don’t know what would!

Scotty’s Drive-In is located at 210 N 21st Street, Bismarck, ND 58501.
