Tucked away in south-central South Dakota is the small town of Platte and its must-visit Boom's Drive-In.

As if having a killer drive-in was not reason enough to visit Platte, the small town — which is home to just more than 1,400 residents — also boasts a thriving agriculture scene and charming downtown area.
Opened in 1959, Boom's is the poster child for old-fashioned drive-ins, complete with good food, a super friendly staff, and a low-key ambiance.
