Back in the good old days, you could visit a drive-in restaurant and get car hop service right to your car. Back then, it was a big deal to eat a meal while sitting in your car, and the little metal trays that clipped to your window were the perfect place to rest your burger and soda. There’s still one drive-in here in Alaska that offers car hop service. We can’t wait for Buffalo Center Drive-In to open for the season!
Buffalo Center Drive-In is a quaint little fast-food joint that’s been serving up tasty burgers and fries in the Delta Junction community for years.

The burgers here are juicy and delicious. Get a regular hamburger, a buffalo burger, or a yak burger.
