Since our Ellie girl is running off to elope, we figured that’s as good a reason as any to throw a party. Wear your black, Come raise a beer, talk some trash, and celebrate the happy couple.

ROAD IS OPEN!!!!!!

🚧 ROAD ACCESS UPDATE 🚧

For over 70 years, generations of customers have found their way to Hinson’s Drive-In. What started as a small roadside stop off Highway 74 in 1954 has survived decades of change — including multiple access roads being removed over the years by NCDOT.

Now, another entrance will be closed for approximately one month.

Through every detour, reroute, and road change, this community has continued showing up for us — and that loyalty means more than we can put into words.

We are STILL OPEN (normal business hours), and we hope you’ll continue making the drive, supporting local, and helping keep a family-owned Matthews tradition alive.

Updated directions are posted below ❤️

To our valued customers — due to the continued rise in food and supply costs, we will be making a small adjustment to our menu prices. We’ve held our prices as long as possible, but this change helps us continue serving the same quality food and providing great service to our community.
Thank you for your understanding and for supporting our small business. We truly appreciate you! ❤️
