I wish I had taken a picture before we started going in but the serving size was great for the price paid. I ordered the 4 piece chicken (you get one of each) and my husband had the cheese burger basket. You can get fries and slaw or extra fries instead of slaw. The chicken was so juicy with a nice crunch on the outside. His burger was flavorful (he didn’t have much to say, it was a struggle to get that out of him, he just kept repeating it’s really good lol.) Please understand tho that the pièce de rèsistance was the jumbo sweet tea and pink lemonade mix (aka Arnold Palmer)!! Ooh wee that drink was AMAZING!!!

First time trying this restaurant. Prices very reasonable and good amount of food received. I paid $10.18 (with tax) for a cheeseburger basket added Jumbo sweet tea. Burger was big and filling, toppings included: mayo, ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. All baskets come with fries and coleslaw; didn't care for either that much as the coleslaw tasted like diced cabbage mixed in thick mayo ONLY no real slaw base, and the fries were super hard and not hot at all, like they'd been done for some time sitting to the side. The tea was really good, I added a splash of lemonade. Overall, I'm on the fence about this place, the sides really took away from the food quality, but the entree was good. As a party of three we were in and out with food within 10min around 12:30/1 on a Thursday.

Quick ,friendly service and the food is great! By far the best, better than bojangles

I ordered a butterscotch dipped ice cream cone with nuts......it barely had any butterscotch on it

Zesto Drive--In is a great place to eat at.The food is so delicious and the employees are so curtious to you it is a very busy place there fish sandwich and chicken wing basket is fantastic and the ice cream in the cone covered with chocolate is so good i mean good the other food is great also so go out to Zesto Drive-In and try there food

Avoid the BBQ sandwich unless you want to taste burnt. No taste at all.The cook should have known it was not edible..??? ?? ☹

I love Zesto but I've never tried this location. I loved it. It's small town feel but delicious chicken and greasy icecream left a smile on me and my families face. Due to COVID I ordered at the window outside and enjoyed my food outside as well. But the food was quick and hot.

Always a good place to eat whether you want a burger some good ole Southern fried Chicken or just a milkshake Zesto is your place

The food at this location used to be good. Both chicken dinners were overcooked, dried-out, and too rubbery to eat. A complete waste of $18.

The cheeseburger and hot dog were really good. The fries were too done but still okay. The chicken wings were pretty good - next time, I'll try a breast or thigh. The slaw was bad because it lacked sugar - I added a pack of Splenda to the cup when I got home and it tasted better. The strawberry shortcake crunch cone was delicious but I dropped it in the parking lot while waiting for my food... I didn't like being given the cone before my order was complete.
