It’s hard to miss this unusual roadside drive-in located in North Dakota. It’s been in the same place for over half a century and has barely changed in all that time. Now registered as a historic place yet still an operating restaurant, you can visit the Fabulous Kegs Drive-In for yourself and see why it hasn’t needed to change to keep its charm.
This quirky building will surely catch your eye: it’s the Fabulous Kegs Drive-In, an icon of Grand Forks since 1935 that’s barely changed in all the decades it has been open.

The Kegs is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, but it’s no dusty museum stuck in time - it is still an operating restaurant that serves legendary food people love.

Although they serve up a whole menu of classic drive-in foods like burgers and shakes, their most notable menu item is their sloppy joe sandwiches. These sandwiches are said to be the best of the best, and they are truly scrumptious.

To go alongside your sandwich, you’ll definitely want to try their world-famous onion rings. These are made fresh and are perfectly crispy and delicious.

Don’t forget about the root beer - the reason those two giant kegs stand alongside the building! With all of that and its nostalgic charm, The Fabulous Kegs Drive-In is a must-try if you’re in Grand Forks.
