2 reviews for Chester's Drive-In
If you are anywhere in the area, you need to stop at Chester's. My boyfriend who has been coming here since he was a wee child brought me to this 1950's throw back and I could not have been happier to stuff my face with its fried, buttery, cheesy goodness.
So by Drive-In, they mean you park in one of about 15 spots where a waitress comes out to your car to take your order. She will probably take her sweet time, so don't head to Cherster's in a hurry. Once you order from a menu posted down the middle of the drive-thru, she brings out a interesting contraption that rests on your window as you rest your beverage on the tray and bring the rest of the food into the car for in lap consumption. I hear the burgers are amazing, but as a vegetarian, I ordered the grilled cheese, fries, fried cheese curds and mozzarella sticks! Impressively after all that I had room for dessert -- which is NOT to be missed. Vanilla and Orange Sherbet combo for the win! It tastes like those popsicles you used to eat when you were younger :)
While obviously NOT your healthiest meal, its well worth the calories! And don't forget to use your car time to spy on the interesting characters around you.
Family owned and run for decades - Chester's (formerly know as A&W) is an icon in the small town of Plymouth. People have been know to take a Sunday drive in the summer from Chicago to have a burger for lunch.
A great example of a "Sheboygan Style" butter burger - thin, grilled (not fried) burger on a sheboygan style hard roll topped with butter. No, that is not mayo on your sandwich - it's wonderful butter that will drip onto the waxed paper wrapper. The rootbeer is served in chilled mugs and made special for the restuarant. Don't forget to tip your carhops - especially on the cold and hot days!
