L & J's Drive Inn — Restaurant in Municipality of Norfolk Treherne

Will always drop by when on the number 2. Food is always fresh and consistent. Ice cream options are plenty. Full outdoor seating and grass area. Swing table with double benches to add to the challenge of eating ice cream on a cone; most likely will end up on face and clothes. Love that they use McCain crinkle cut fries. Always better when deep fried vs at home oven. Chicken fingers breading is flavourful and sizes are standard. Honey dill sauce available. Couple of signature desserts available. Worms and dirt recently introduced. kid size is plenty for anyone wanting a quick treat. Large if you’re feeling depressed and need a cry with a messy ice cream treat. Will make you forget all about why you were sad in the first place; sometimes, until the ice cream runs out and back comes the sadness. Prices are fair and comparable to today’s...

The burger patties were not large or heavy. They were flat but kind of pan crispy and tasty. The bun was decent and condiments were plentiful without being soupy.

The deep fried mushrooms were hot and delicious, though as is standard, $5 doesn't get you many.

The chicken fingers were a decent size, well cooked, although a little too salty. It should be mentioned that they had honey dill dipping sauce available.

The fries were bland crinkle cut affairs and although they were cooked well and not greasy, they were probably the...
