The Point Drive In: Reviews & Ratings
Little drive-in in North Judson. In an area where there are not a lot of options, I am glad The Point is one. Hot dogs, hamburgers and ice cream - honestly what is not to love. They always have the food out quickly and it always hits. I have gotten the hot dogs and burgers and they are tasty. I will say I got a double burger and think I would have been fine with a single patty, it was a large burger and I could not finish the double. Onion rings were hot and fried and with some ranch, I honestly could not ask for anything more. Exactly what you would expect from a spot like this and I have absolutely no complaints.
Two visits this summer - don't miss the nearby railroad museum! To start the meals, milk shakes. Absolutely excellent ice cream in them. Generous servings of everything including what must be a one pound southwest chicken wrap, chicken fingers and our fries were perfect. Amazing neat old town with notably good parks, dogs allowed on leash. The car hop service is a nice old treat and keeping in this old tradition, just down the road is the high tech Melody Drive-in theater in Bass Lake (theater is closed Oct till Spring).
Love this place! We always stop on our way to the lake. It's a family favorite. We love it that the beef is from a local farmer & all their food is fresh. Yum!
Food is excellent! Service sometimes can be not the best. Other times it's great! Atmosphere is awesome and the food is priced reasonable! Cheese fries with bacon and ranch is AMAZING
I took my grandson for a early dinner and an ice cream treat. The service was great, the food was great. I enjoyed the fried pickles and my grandson, chicken fingers. It took a bit longer to get our ice cream due to the traffic that came it but that was great as well. I would go back again to try something else.
So many owners have come & gone in that little diner car hop. FINALLY, these new owners do it justice!! When they say, 'fresh locally sourced meat' you can bank on it! We had the steak sandwich add cheese, peppers & onions and a double cheeseburger! Our sides were the fried pickles and french fries! Dessert was a pineapple sundae & a caramel sundae! EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS!! I think I've found the freshest, BEST burger in Starke County! Service was kind, friendly and FAST!! We'll definitely be regulars now & all of you should go pay them a visit!! You won't be disappointed!! OH, did I mention how clean, cute & nostalgic everything is?
Has good food and a large menu. The Ice cream is one of my favorites can get soft , hand dipped and special dairy free or sugar free. Has car hops and inside dining. The staff is friendly.
Great burgers!!! Delicious sweet potato fries. Banana split is the bomb!!!!! Can get very busy, but well worth the wait!!!
While traveling our great nation, my wife and I make it a point to support small businesses and the mom and pop's that have been devised by corporate America and this plandemic. Well we came across this drive-in on during our travels. I have always like the old Dog& Suds themed restaurants. We pulled up and were greeted immediately. The super friendly staff member was on point. She told us about the specials and gave some great recommendations. We submitted our order and just before walking away with it, she looked back at us and said," I'm going to buy your order today." Needless to say we were floored. My wife and I make it a point to mysteriously buy other people's meals as a pay it forward gesture. Well it came back full circle today. We enjoyed our old fashioned meal and left a healthy tip. We will return when in the area.
