Virginia is home to an impressive number of places that haven’t seemed to change much at all despite the passage of time. One place you can always count on to be a nod to the good ol’ days is Dude’s Drive-In. This under-the-radar eatery is essentially a relic from decades ago, when curbside service and drive-ins were all the rage. Visit today and you’ll be delighted by the display of nostalgia, whether it’s the menu posted on the outside of the building or the “sound horn for service” sign.

There's a tiny but iconic restaurant located in Christiansburg that every Virginian should experience at least once. Dude's is an authentic drive-in where you'll be served right from your car.

In fact, there's no room for dining inside whatsoever! Simply read the large menu on the outside of the building and honk for service from a curb hop.
