Long before curbside service was a part of our regular vocabulary, we Pennsylvanians went to drive-in restaurants. We pulled into a free spot and could stay in our car the whole time – from browsing the menu to eating our meals – if we wanted to. Relive the good ole days with a delicious meal and carhop service at this old-school restaurant in Pennsylvania.
Sat along the Susquehanna River in Milton, The Fence Drive-In will have you feeling the warmth of nostalgia, even if you weren’t yet born during the heyday of the drive-in restaurant.

While you can sit at one of the picnic tables with sensational views of the river, stay in your car for the full drive-in experience. Turn on your lights when you park, so the staff knows you want carhop service.

The charming drive-in is perhaps best known for its fish meals. Choose from such favorites as the fish dinner, scallops, shrimp, or a combo of all three.

Don’t worry if you’re not in the mood for fish. You’ll find all of the classic favorites on the menu, too - from burgers to hot dogs. The hot ham barbecue also earns rave reviews.

Add a hearty helping of fresh-cut fries to create a platter. The fries are made with peanut oil and are gluten-free. Other sides include cabbage salad and applesauce.
