Treat yourself to a taste of the past at Susie Q Malt Shop! A longtime favorite, the drive-in has been doling out delicious eats and sweets for decades. Between its old-school flair and classic drive-in fare, it’s the perfect place to get your fill of great grub AND nostalgia.
Located in Rogers, Susie Q Malt Shop is a tiny drive-in with a BIG reputation.
Authentically retro, the eatery opened in June of 1960. And it’s been a hit for nearly as long.
Most drive-ins sell fast food, but not Susie Q’s. Nope, Susie Q’s serves quality food made fast.
Since everything is made to order in the tiny 900-square-foot eatery, it can take a bit of time to get your food, especially when the place is packed, which is common.
One thing’s for sure, though. If there is a wait, it’ll be well worth it because the food is amazing!
The menu is brimming with tasty options, like burgers, specialty sandwiches, hot dogs, and ice cream.
And just like when Susie Q’s first opened, everything is still made on site, by hand. The shakes and malts are handspun, the burger patties are hand-pressed, and the limeades are squeezed to order.
There really isn’t one bad item on the menu. There are a few top-sellers, though, including the burgers, malts, and a pork tenderloin sandwich that’s been dubbed “Big Pig.”
The curly fries are another popular menu item, and according to some, are what put the drive-in on the map.
Aside from the addition of a cash register, Susie Q Malt Shop has barely changed throughout the decades – and that’s exactly what makes it so great!
