For a true blast from the past, pull into Don's Drive-In, a local institution since 1958. This spot captures the classic 1950s American diner vibe perfectly, from the car-hop service to the retro decor. You have to try their juicy, made-to-order burgers and a hand-dipped milkshake made with real Michigan fruit – it's a quintessential Traverse City experience.
