XXX Rootbeer Drive-In

On Tuesday we went to the Triple XXX Rootbeer Drive-In in Issaquah. It's the oldest drive-in in Washington state and they have lots and lots of nostalgic items there. A specialty theme for them is classic cars. On summer weekends they have car shows. This photo is a postcard I picked up at the restaurant showing a typical car show event.

The food is really tasty (although not too healthy). They have old-fashioned rootbeer floats, Coke in multiple flavors (from chocolate to banana) and all their menu items are named after classic cars. You can view the car show schedule and their menu at their web site or read more about their history at the Issaquah History Online site.

Thanks for sharing about the XXX Rootbeer Drive-In! I guess that means the Saturn place was able to fix the problem with your car and you're back in "go" mode!

From someone who likes rootbeer AND classic cars, I'm thinking that's a neat place that I will soon be checking out! :-)

How did you know about it?

Hi Colette! Yep, the car is all fixed but at what a cost (yikes!). I heard about the XXX Rootbeer Drive-In over on 43 Places. If you scroll down the page you will see people's comments about it. It was definitely a fun place to visit!
