Estes Drive In

Estes Drive In isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a step back in time. The drive-in concept, popular in the mid-20th century, is a nostalgic experience for anyone looking to enjoy hearty, traditional meals while sitting in the comfort of their car or at outdoor picnic tables. Whether you're a local or just passing through Lincoln, Estes Drive In welcomes you with open arms and serves up comfort food in the most charming setting.

Delicious American Classics

At the heart of Estes Drive In is its menu, packed with a wide variety of mouthwatering American comfort foods. Whether you're craving a juicy burger, crispy fries, or a milkshake to wash it all down, Estes delivers a menu that’s designed to satisfy all your cravings.

One of the standout items at Estes is their handmade burgers, made from the finest beef patties and served on freshly baked buns. The Estes Special Burger is a fan favorite, featuring a delicious combination of toppings like cheese, lettuce, pickles, and a special sauce that perfectly complements the juicy patty. For those who prefer something lighter, their crispy chicken sandwiches and salads are also excellent choices.

But it’s not just about burgers. Estes Drive In also offers a variety of fried foods including onion rings, fried chicken, and mozzarella sticks, all crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Their fries are golden perfection, always served hot and crispy, making them the perfect side dish for any meal.

A Focus on Quality Ingredients

From the freshly baked buns to the hand-cut fries, you can taste the difference in every bite. Whether you’re enjoying a quick snack or a full meal, you can rest assured that the food at Estes is made with care and precision.

Unique Atmosphere

The ambiance at Estes Drive In is a major part of its charm. Unlike typical fast food joints, Estes offers an outdoor seating area where you can enjoy your meal while taking in the surroundings. The nostalgic vibe is enhanced by the classic drive-in setup, where you can order from your car and have your food delivered to you by friendly staff.

For those who prefer a more traditional dining experience, there are picnic tables where you can sit and enjoy your meal with friends and family. The casual, laid-back atmosphere makes it an ideal spot for both solo diners and groups looking for a relaxed dining experience.

I stopped by here randomly, decided to get the grilled chicken wrap...I didn't know it was possible to make a chicken wrap so scrumptious. Probably one of the top best wraps I have ever had. Service was great, I love this place. My only regret is that I am from out of town and will not have the opportunity to come here all the time. If their chicken wrap is this good I can only imagine how delicious everything else is!

Anyone with bad reviews is simply hating lol. I live in kansas city and it's hard to find a spot like that. Burgers were insanely fire. The lady's working we're super nice and welcoming place was great. 10/10 would recommend
