We drove into Keller’s Drive-In for their burgers…

…and had to drive away.

They don’t take plastic. Strictly cash only.

A sign out front proclaims: “Been Here A Long Time…” and the place looks it. You don’t come here for the ambience or the people-watching (unless you enjoy this kind of place)…it’s probably the rattiest, dingiest little drive-in you’ll ever see. If you don’t cater to the truck-stop vibe, it will take a bit of courage to venture into the Harry Hines location. Forget about family-friendly–no Happy Meals here, no cheery-faced teenagers manning the registers, no wacky mascots, no ball-pits. The ladies walking up and down the stalls to take your order look like they can manage an unruly crowd—they won’t take no bull. This is an adult burger joint–beer is the liquid of choice to wash down their food.

But I hear it’s home to Dallas’ best burgers. So, one of these days…one of these days…
