Gus's Drive-In

Gus’s Drive‑In is a renovated 1950s‑style drive‑in at 3131 Main St in East Troy serving burgers, hot dogs, gyros/Italian beef, shakes and frozen custard. The diner reopened under owners Gus and Jess in 2003 after restoring a building that once housed an A&W.

The spot is popular with locals and visitors for casual counter service, outdoor car‑friendly seating, and weekly Saturday Cruise Nights that draw classic cars and hot rods from the region. Check the official site or call before visiting as the restaurant operates seasonally.
