Port Drive In - Chesterton

Delicious food at a nostalgic facility. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I loved the chili cheese fries and root beer float. The kids meal food came in a 3D cutout car. I would definitely like to return!

It's just old fashioned car hop food. The root beer is amazing and cold, The food's hot and freshly made. The car hops are super friendly and always greet you with a smile. This is not the place to go though if you're worried about your weight...lol. if you're looking for one of the best hot dogs in town then this is where you need to go.

Okay place but left much to be desired. It can be a great place with a few adjustments. I'd like to try this place again in the future if it just made some adjustments to the food quality and service. Burgers: Ordered a Quarter Pounder with Bacon Cheese Mayo, mustard, Ketchup, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, onion. Burger was less than average, mainly because it was missing something: the burger patty did not have the pleasing bite that a nice beef patty should have felt too soft and tasted bland. Makes me wonder if they're using older frozen patties. The burgers would be 10x better with a nice fresh Angus patty or fresh and not frozen ground beef. Burger bun Same with the bun, parts of the bun were hard, and others soft but dry whereas I was expecting a soft moist bun. This is due to using older bread buns just on the cusp of expiration. Onions nothing against the onions, but the burger would be better with freshly cut onions rings instead of diced for the extra juicy crunch. Tater tots rancid. They were definitely nice and crispy but they were deep fried in old oil so they tasted like old fish or rancid oil. Fries crispy but too chewy were left in the warmer too long. Salt level was nice., but I did not finish my fries because they were not pleasant to eat. Unsweetened iced tea it had a peppermint and root beer flavor to it. Not sure what their process is for the unsweetened iced tea but I believe they are using the unwashed vats from some of the other drinks for the iced tea. Nice amount of ice though. Soft drinks ordered a Spezi (half coke, half orange soda). Not enough ice was very warm. Service not bad, very friendly staff but definitely needs to be waved down at the counter when you haven't seen your attendant in a while. Kind of defeats the purpose of a drive in but at least they are very friendly and accommodating. Otherwise, great concept for a drive in restaurant we need more of these very American, good atmosphere, so I'm kind of rooting for this restaurant to do better in the future because I think we need more gems like this.

Great place for a summer meal. Their frosted glass, rootbeer is the best and my kids love the food!

It was a great place to stop and grab some great food. It was the first time my kids got experience the traditional drive in.
