What initially drew us in was just that it was something different. Yes, WF has a Sonic, and McDonalds, and pretty much all the other required fast food crap. Mike's is not like these. An original '50's style drive-in, Mike's has all the classics - burgers, onion rings, chili dogs...then you get home made root beer (best around!) What keeps us coming back (every Friday, to be exact) are the horse shoes and pork tenderloin sandwiches. We are from the Springfield area, and both these things are hard to find outside of there. What's better, is they are actually good! Especially the horseshoes, which come is several varieties with homemade cheese sauce - hamburger, pork, or turkey.
The service here is nothing short of excellent, another reason we always return. It didn't take long to make friends with the waitresses (especially Krystal and Angie.) They are always super friendly, and if you come back often enough, know your favorite orders. :)
They have indoor seating (with awesome retro decor!), an outdoor patio with bench seats, and traditional curb side eat in dining.
I highly recommend taking a trip to Mikes, which is open most evenings until 8, closing a little earlier on Sundays. You can find the whole menu here: http://www.urbanspoon.com/cities/171-illinois/restaurants/983219-mikes-drive-in/menu (great prices!!)
