There were a few around but nothing like now. There was one on 39th too but everyone went to Bonaparte's.
Sonic? Bonapartes? Charcoal Oven?
I fondly recall Coit's Drive In. I also bought Christmas trees at Coits for many years.
Anyway, I'd cruise around from Coits to Bonapartes to whatever, including many Saturday nights just cruising around.
But drive-ins were still going out to eat.
A very different culture than one person going through the drive-thru and bringing back a big sack for everyone.

Anyone remember the Charcoal Oven or Bonapartes style drive-through that was on the north side of Britton Road at, maybe, Georgia? I recall it was in the 1960s-70s. The lot is now part of Casady School new construction. There was a Hot Tub and Spa business there for several years.
Maybe it was Carraige House?

I agree. In the 1960s-70s, my mom would make something. And she did not like doing it. A good week would have us going to Val Genes in Penn Square on Saturday dinner and a Pizza Hut take out on Sunday.

It was indeed the Carriage House Restaurant. Looks like it operated in the late 60s.

I actually remember the place. They didn't last long enough and. Chequres lasted too long. Driving through that the other day and with Heritage park mall still setting dead in the water, one is reminded how far most of Midwest city has fallen. The shine is even gone carom Town Center on 29th.
