Skid’s Drive-In Number 1

Wish I had better news than this, but it was a Very tasteless dog & chili was too. Also the NC red hot dogs, which are not a favorite at all. I honestly don’t know how it’s been around for as many decades as it has unless people’s taste buds are not very tuned in.

Wow!!! Incredible mom and pops place. This established has been in operation since the 1940’s. It is family owned and operated and you can tell that they put a lot of love into their restaurant. Mother and son were working side by side today, serving up meals there were hot and fresh. You can see right into the kitchen, so there is nothing to hide. Now in my opening comments I said this place opened in the 40’s and it looks like not much has changed. However don’t let that fool you, their food is delicious. The family is Greek and they have a few traditional Greek dishes on the menu to try if you wanted to give that a go
Today I opted for the Skids Special Cheeseburger, because I wanted something a little more simple. It was fantastic!!! I also had it with a side of hush puppies and those were also amazing. You must try this dive if you are passing by the Burlington area. You will not be disappointed.

I’m really surprised that this place doesn’t have any reviews. It’s been around for something like 60 years — my mom went there as a kid!
Skid’s Drive-​In is definitely an amazing blast from the past — the cramped inside only sits around 30 people (if even that), but it’s oh-​so-​charming and must be experienced. Mustard colored booths, faded pictures and decorations on the walls haven’t been moved or replaced since the 50s, and the same staff has worked there as long as I can remember. If you chose to dine using the «drive-​in», it’s as basic as it sounds — you drive into one of the covered spots, honk your horn and your food is ordered and delivered right to your car window. Everyone is friendly in that southern, down home way.
The food is your general diner variety, with the focus on cheeseburgers and hotdogs, but the menu is HUGE and everything is SUPER cheap. A twin cheese burger basket, fries and a drink is under $ 6.00. The burger and fries aren’t anything fancy — the foodie in you might smirk. But, it’s simple and delicious. Something about it just takes me to a special place. The cheeseburgers are what brings me back again and again.
Only bad thing I can say: they advertise their pizza via a neon sign on the window — don’t waste your time or appetite. It’s easily the worst pizza I’ve ever had.
