Jims Drive In - Lewisburg

Has always been and still is the best burgers and fries in the world

I'm 50 years old and been a lot of places and I gotta say you have the best hot dogs I have ever ate! I live in Mannington WV about 3 and a half hours away and would make a special trip just for your hotdogs!

No better place, great food, great service and great prices. There all the time love it.

As I left the city, I came across Jin's Drive-In along a quiet road. In the parking lot, two men were setting up outdoor furniture, creating a cozy spot for diners. This classic drive-in also offered the option to sit and eat in your car, though there was no indoor seating. The drive-in had a laid-back, vintage vibe, which I tend to appreciate. Even though it was only 10 AM, the "Open" flag was up. The menu featured standard drive-in fare such as burgers, fries, chicken nuggets, and hot dogs, but not much in the way of breakfast. A friendly server greeted me when I arrived and informed me that while they didn’t have a full breakfast menu, she could whip up an egg and bacon sandwich or even throw an egg on a cheeseburger. That was nice to know, but what caught my eye was a simple BLT. I ordered that along with a lemonade and grabbed a seat at one of the outdoor tables. Shortly after, my server returned with my order on a classic car-side tray. She wore a pouch and a waist-mounted coin changer, reminiscent of old-school diner staff. My total came to just over $5. The sandwich was made with simple, nicely toasted bread, and had a satisfying amount of filling—just the right size to kick off my day. Oh, and it was absolutely delicious. No tempeh bacon here—just good old-fashioned pig involved in the making of my meal. The lemonade was genuine and refreshing, just what I needed. When I had to choose between fake lemonade or fake bacon, I picked the bacon without a second thought. The server also mentioned they offered over 30 types of milkshakes, including hot fudge, which happens to be my favorite. Given the old-school ambiance, I suspected their milkshakes would be delightful and not the overpriced "real ice cream" versions that are so common these days. Despite being lactose intolerant, I thought, why not? I ordered one to go. It arrived in a generic polystyrene cup, with hot fudge dribbles down the sides. You could immediately feel the thickness of the shake; it was the kind that requires effort to draw through the straw. The flavor was fantastic, more than worth any discomfort I might face later. Some things in life are worth the sacrifice, and this milkshake was definitely one of them.

Friendly staff and good food!! My favorite is the hot dog and the fried pickles with a milkshake. They have so many flavors to try. Not a place to eat when you are looking for healthy food or diets, but so it is worth it!
