🍺❤️ There’s just something about Carlson’s…

For generations, Carlson’s Drive-In has been more than just a nostalgic root b**r stand. It’s been summer evenings, trays on car windows, ice-cold mugs of root b**r, familiar faces, first jobs, family traditions, and memories made year after year.

But none of it would be possible without the wonderful employees who show up and work hard every day. We are incredibly thankful for every person who has worn a Carlson’s shirt and helped keep this little piece of nostalgia going. ❤️

And to our customers — whether you’ve been coming here for decades or you just discovered us this season — YOU are the reason Carlson’s is still here today. Thank you for supporting a local tradition, bringing your families, sharing your memories, and continuing to make new ones with us.

The season is winding down, so there’s still time to stop by, grab your favorite meal, enjoy an ice-cold root b**r, and soak up a little Carlson’s nostalgia before we say goodbye for the winter. 🍔🌭🍺

🕚 Open daily 11 AM–7 PM
🍂 Last day of the 2026 season: October 10th

From our Carlson’s family to yours — thank you for keeping the tradition alive. ❤️

☀️ Happy Sunday, Carlson’s friends! 🌭🥤

The Indiana heat has finally decided to give us a little break, and we’re soaking up these beautiful late-summer days! 🍂☀️

⏰ REMINDER: Our fall hours start TODAY!
We’re now open 11 AM–7 PM DAILY through the end of our season.

There are still plenty of root b**rs to pour, hot dogs to serve, meals to enjoy, and memories to make before we close up for the year.

So take that Sunday drive, roll the windows down, enjoy the cooler Indiana weather, and stop by to see us! 🚗☀️
