Nothing screams summer like malts and burgers car-hopped right to your window. For all the throwback ’50s vibes, tasty treats, and sweet rides, look no further than a couple of the drive-up restaurants nearby. In Eau Claire, The Classic Garage just started car-hop service. But there are a few more timeless spots that aren’t that far away and are well worth the short drive for some delicious summer eats.
