Carlson's Drive-In - Root Beer in a Frosty Mug

 

You can’t stay in business for over 70 years if you are not a local favorite!  And Carlson’s Drive-In in Michigan City has been serving for 76 years.

They still make their root beer the old fashioned way. The carhops serve up 100% all-beef, bun-length hot dogs, made with the freshest ingredients and featuring a variety of homemade items, all cooked to order.
