We enjoyed the nostalgia of 1950's style drive-in with the waitresses on rollerskates. They don't wear poodle skirts here but it's still fun. Music from that era is played on the outside speakers. The food is fast food and was delivered hot. I had the grilled chicken breast sandwich and the cook 'nailed it'. Perfectly done. We got a small french fry and they were fresh and hot. They also sell the good root beer in half gallon and gallon take-home containers.

This is a gem of a place. Menus are part of the decor outside (there are paper menus also). Park your car in a numbered slot and a roller skating girl comes up. She’s got paper menus also if you can’t decide. When you’re ready to order, put your hazards on and she’ll skate back to take your order. Keep your window up 1/3 of the way and a tray of amazing food will hang on. Credit cards are accepted, payment is processed in your car. Featured: Tall boy burger, root beer, chicken strip basket & Chicago hot dog.

The food is OK, but that's not the reason to visit. The place is a blast from the past! Reminds you of a 1950's drive in. The signs are great, the food is delivered by girls on roller skates. When you want to order or pay, turn on your flashers! A fun place!

55 minute wait for carry out . Got back to the hotel and missing two burgers , half the order missing.
I had to drive back to get them… ! So check your order..they apparently don’t. No one seemed to be sorry they screwed up. Not the service I expected for the prices they charge.

Turtle and hot fudge sundae. Don’t get 2 scoops unless you want 2 PLAIN scoops. First time in years. Last. We both decided Leon’s or Culver’s from now on. So disappointing as we prefer supporting small business!

Our first time here and it did not disappoint!! We over ordered but just couldn’t decide. We got the fries, cheese curds, onion rings and the “Super” burger. All of it was so delicious!! We will be back!

Stopped in for dinner the waitstaff rolls out on skates to take our order... Food was outstanding... there was oldies playing unfortunately we were parked on the side so we couldn't hear it real well but that's ok... while we were finishing our dinner the waitress rolls up to our car and says that her boss had noticed the stickers on our rooftop carrier and wanted to give us one of their stickers to go on it...

I'm a sucker for old school restaurants send drive ins and was pleasantly surprised how good this place was.
The atmosphere was nostalgic. The diner was covered in old memorabilia and photos and head the classic neon to go with it. The waitress take your orders from your car, but do so on roller skates.
They have a pretty good menu selection and the food was really good for a drive in. The chicken sandwiches and burgers hit the spot, as did the cheese curds. Looking back I can say they may have been the best cheese curds i had while in Wisconsin.
I'd certainly recommend eating here.

We stop multiple times when we are in town. Its seasonal. I love the frosty mugs of rootbeer and the old style roller skate car service. My favorite thing is fried mushrooms!

A totally unique place. Great food. You have too go there to find out what's it like. There are car hopes. They have classic car meets. It is kind of straight out of the 50's.

We have come here several times it is always a treat. Overall good service and decent food. The obvious is the retro menu and delivery. This makes it Fun and special, we love this place. We have never had a bad experience. My only critique would be to consider some seasoning on burgers, frys etc, no real complaint here just maybe a little salt and pepper. Nothing here to dissuade our family from continually patronizing this establishment. Again food is good service is good and it all is great.

We were visiting Oshkosh and wanted a quick refresh on a hot day. We happened upon Ardy & Ed’s Drive-in. A friendly car hop skated up ready to take our order. It’s a great place to stop in for a bite or ice cream. The food took a bit of time, but it was packed so we knew it would be a while. I wish they had brought the drinks first separate from the food to keep us refreshed, but I didn’t ask for that at the time.
