❤️ THE HEART BEHIND YECKS FAMILY DRIVE INN ❤️

There are some people whose names may not always be the ones you hear when a story is told… but without them, there simply wouldn’t be a story.

For us, that person is our mom. ❤️

Our dad, Leo, started this crazy little family adventure all those years ago because he wanted a place where our family could work together and spend our summers together.

When we lost Dad to cancer in 1993, Mom was left carrying so much.

Yecks was really Dad’s project. But Mom stepped in beside all of us and quietly made sure that what he started could keep going.

And she has been doing it ever since.

So much of what makes Yecks Yecks has her fingerprints all over it.

Her recipes that have been passed down and perfected over the years. The little things she does that nobody sees. The errands. The running. The helping. The problem solving. The phone calls. The advice. The big things. The small things.

And sometimes… just showing up with homemade cookies because she knows we’re tired and need a little something to keep us going. ❤️

That’s Mom.

She has never needed the attention or the credit. She has just always been there.

This year, our mom turned 90 years old.

Ninety. ❤️

And she is still beautiful. Still strong. Still smart. Still keeping an eye on all of us. Still loving this family fiercely. And still very much a part of everything we do.

As we close another season at Yecks, we realized there was someone we probably haven’t thanked nearly enough over the years.

Mom, we could not have done any of this without you.

Not the restaurant.
Not the traditions.
Not the recipes.
Not all these summers together.
Not this family as we know it.

Dad may have started this adventure, but you helped us carry it forward when he couldn’t be here to do it himself.

You have been the steady hand behind us, the keeper of so many of our traditions, and the backbone of this family through every season of life.

There really aren’t enough words for everything you have given us.

But there are two that we hope you know with your whole heart:

Thank you. ❤️

Thank you for every recipe.
Every errand.
Every cookie.
Every long day.
Every piece of advice.
Every time you stepped in.
Every time you held us together.
And every single year you have continued to believe in what Dad started and what our family has worked so hard to continue.

We love you more than we could ever put into a Facebook post, Mom.

Yecks Family Drive Inn would not be what it is without you. And neither would we. ❤️

Happy 90th year to the beautiful lady behind so much of our story.

We love you, Mom. Always. ❤️

I’m not quite ready to get sentimental yet because WE STILL HAVE ONE WHOLE DAY TO FEED YOU! 😂🍔

And right now… WE HAVE EVERYTHING! 🙌

🍨 Hot fudge sundae
🥛 One LAST shake to somehow get you through the winter 😂

Whatever your Yecks favorite is… TODAY IS THE DAY!

❤️ We will be OPEN WHILE SUPPLIES LAST TODAY! ❤️

We do our best every year to plan for this final day, but when it’s gone…it’s gone! So please don’t wait until the end of the day if there’s something you absolutely have to have one more time.

Right now, the kitchen is stocked, the grills are ready, the shake machine is waiting and WE HAVE EVERYTHING!

So hurry in! 🚗💨🍔

And while I promised I wasn’t getting sentimental yet…I do have to say THANK YOU.

Thank you for pulling in all summer long.

Thank you for bringing your families, your friends, your kids and your grandkids.

Thank you for your patience when the parking lot was full and our crew was running like crazy. 😂

Thank you for every kind word, every Facebook comment and share, every recommendation and every single order.

Most of all, thank you for continuing to make Yecks Family Drive Inn part of your summer. ❤️

But we have plenty of time for the mushy stuff later. 😂

🚨🥤 IMPORTANT QUESTION, CHEBOYGAN… 🥤🚨

Have you had enough Yecks shakes this summer to make it ALL THE WAY THROUGH WINTER?! 😂❄️

Because we’re down to TODAY + TOMORROW at Yecks Family Drive Inn…and once that shake machine stops Monday night, you’re on your own until next summer! 😳😂

So we think an emergency afternoon shake run is completely reasonable.

Actually, we encourage it. 🙌🥤

With 29+ shake flavors AND the ability to mix & match, there are WAY too many combinations left to try!

🍫 Chocolate + Peanut Butter?
🍓 Strawberry + Cheesecake?
🍌 Banana + Chocolate?
🥤 Your tried-and-true favorite every single time?

Or are you one of those people who creates a combination that makes the rest of us go… “You want WHAT together?!” 😂

Come grab ONE LAST SHAKE TO LAST YOU THROUGH THE WINTER! ❄️➡️☀️

Okay…technically we cannot guarantee the effects will last until spring. 😂 But we CAN guarantee you’re running out of time to get one!

👇 SHAKE ROLL CALL!

Tell us your #1 Yecks shake flavor or mix-and-match combination in the comments!

Better yet — TAG the person who needs to get in the car and make an afternoon Yecks run with you! 🚗💨

🥤🍦🍔 ONLY TWO DAYS LEFT!

Come see us TODAY and LABOR DAY MONDAY before we close out the 2026 season!

09/06/2026

🥹❤️ ONLY TWO DAYS LEFT…HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?! ❤️🍔

Every year I know this weekend is coming…and every year I’m still not quite ready for it.

Tomorrow is the last day of our 2026 season at Yecks Family Drive Inn. But we are NOT closing up yet! We still have two whole days to feed you, see your faces, hear your stories and squeeze every last little bit out of summer. ☀️🍔🍦

And trust me…there is still plenty of time for one more Yecks run. Or two. 😂

When I think about Yecks, I realize it has never really been just about the food.

It’s looking up and recognizing the car pulling in before I even see who’s driving.

It’s seeing someone who came here as a kid now pulling in with kids of their own.

It’s hearing, “I’ve been coming here since…” and then getting to hear the story that follows.

It’s former employees stopping by, kids home from college, summer visitors we only get to see once a year, and our regulars who we’re lucky enough to see all season long. ❤️

Somehow, burgers, Spudniks, chili dogs, shakes and Root B**r Floats have woven themselves into a whole lot of family memories — ours AND yours.

And that is something I will never take for granted.

Thank you for choosing us. Thank you for your patience on the crazy days, for supporting our crew, for bringing your kids and grandkids, for telling your friends to stop at Yecks and for continuing to make our little family Drive Inn part of your summer.

❤️ We are so grateful for all of you.

But I’m not saying goodbye yet because WE STILL HAVE TWO DAYS TO GO! 😂🙌

So come hungry. Get the thing you’ve been saying you need “one more” of. Order the shake. Add the Spudniks. Get dessert even if you’re full. 😉🍦

And while we’re getting a little sentimental…

👇 Tell me one of YOUR Yecks memories.

It can be from this summer, when your kids were little, when YOU were little, your first job here, a first date, a favorite order, a funny story…whatever Yecks memory makes you smile.

I would really love to read them. ❤️

🍔🍦 TODAY + LABOR DAY MONDAY!

Two more days to make a few more memories before we say…

See you next summer. ❤️

❤️🍔 YECK’S TRIVIA :
This one is a little different. 🍔❤️

Tonight I want to tell you a little bit about why Yeck’s is Yeck’s.

My dad, Leo Yeck, had six daughters. He taught and coached in Cheboygan and was busy all year long, but summer was the time he looked forward to spending with his girls.

Then his two oldest daughters started working at Proffitt’s Drive-In.

Dad realized pretty quickly that as all six of us grew up and started working to earn money for college, if he didn’t find a way for us to work together, he was going to miss out on those summers with us.

So he bought the drive-in. ❤️

Eventually, in 1980, we moved down to what became Yeck’s Family Drive Inn.

At the time, I think Dad believed he was giving his family a gift….a place where we could work hard, earn money for college and, most importantly, still spend our summers together.

And he was.

But I don’t think any of us could have imagined just how big that gift would become.

Over the years, generations of our family have worked side by side here. We’ve made memories with employees who started out as staff and became family. Kids grew up here. Their kids came back and worked here. We’ve laughed, worked ridiculously long days, celebrated milestones, shared heartaches and built a lifetime of memories inside this little drive-in.

But Dad gave us something else, too.

He gave us all of you.

He gave us an entire extended family of customers who have made Yeck’s part of their own summer traditions.

Some of you came here as kids and now bring your kids. Some bring your grandchildren. Some of you have a “usual” we already know. Some of you stop every single summer because a trip home to Cheboygan just wouldn’t be complete without Yeck’s.

And especially since losing Dad, continuing what he started has brought us more comfort than I can probably put into words.

Every summer that we open those windows, every family that pulls in, every familiar face we see and every new memory made here keeps a little piece of his original intention alive.

Family. Together. ❤️

So tonight’s trivia question really isn’t trivia at all.

👇 If you knew Leo Yeck, would you share a memory of him with us?

Maybe he taught you. Maybe he coached you. Maybe you worked for him. Maybe you remember him from Yeck’s. Maybe you have a funny story…..and knowing Dad, I’m guessing there are a few. 😂

📸 If you have a photo, we would absolutely LOVE to see that too.

Every Leo memory or photo shared below will receive FIVE entries into our trivia drawing.

Not because this is a hard question…but because those memories truly mean the world to us. Every time someone tells us a story about Dad, it feels like we get another little piece of him back.

And as we come to the end of another season, it seems like the perfect time to remember exactly why all of this started.

To every customer who has become part of our extended Yeck’s family over all these years….thank you.

Thank you for your loyalty. Thank you for your stories. Thank you for bringing the next generation. Thank you for allowing our family to be a small part of your family’s summer memories.

And thank you, Dad. ❤️

You knew what you were doing.

What you gave your six daughters all those years ago turned into so much more than a summer job.

It became our family story. ❤️🍔

👇 Now help us remember Leo. Share your story or photo below. We can’t wait to read them.
