C&J's Drive-In — Make it Cheesee grilled cheese pull-apart
Fan Favorite
Make it Cheesee
Est. 1972

Same grill.

Fifty years in.

Fifty-plus years on South Cushman. The hoagie rolls still come in fresh, the patties are still pressed by hand, and the shake mugs go in the freezer the night before — because that's how you get the frost.

We're not trying to reinvent the burger. We're just trying to make yours right.

Red Booths.
Checkered Floors.

Slide into one of our crimson booths under the mural of '57 Chevys and small-town Saturday nights. The jukebox sits in the corner, the tile floor shines, and the ketchup bottles are always full. Come as you are.
