Grand Forks, North Dakota - Fabulous Kegs Drive-In

The Kegs will be getting a "face lift" this summer. They will be stuccoing the kegs and remodeling the inside. I am happy to hear it is getting fixed, but am worried that it might get defaced.

They have since removed the old Neon. A real bummer! [Zack Petrick, 03/24/2007]

[RA: Here's a file photo of one of the old drive-up menu boards, with specials and pricing revised with paper and a handy label gun. Two sloppy joes, fries and a regular drink for $3.45?! Ah, 1991....]

Alternately called "The Kegs" (a sign on the building) and "The Fabulous Kegs" (a smaller sign in the parking area), it's difficult to find by looking up references on the web, or even locally, as the some people know it by one name and some by another. It sits within a solidly residential area of Grand Forks, away from most of the modern commercial stuff. I missed out on the food, sadly (Labor Day), but the menu sure looked good for the price.

We like any restaurant where the ONLY way you can eat is in your car, but this Halloween-orange oddity is especially chummy. The kegs stand about 20 feet high and look more like freak gourds or Munchkinland houses than kegs. And the "Monsterburger" at $1.85 was a steal: a triple-decker with double meat, lettuce, tomato, melted cheese and mayonaise. [Roadside America Team, 04/21/1997]
