This classic spot started in 1954, when Bertha and Guy Higgens (hence, B&G) bought an old drive-in, and turned it into an ice cream drive in.

Very little has changed throughout the decades. The old red and white building is the same building your grandparents saw, and the menu has only changed slightly as they've added new items.

What makes B&G so popular is their soft serve ice cream and classic footlong hot dogs. There's simply no better combo.

Their strawberry soft serve has become a local favorite, and is sold by the gallon.

The food pairs perfectly with a cold cone of ice cream. They use Nathan's hot dogs, always staying local, and they also offer sloppy joes and BBQ beef, made from their original recipe.
