Since 1958, this roadside drive in has been an icon in the town of Livingston. Its rare now days to find an old fashioned drive-in (Im not talking Sonic here people) that still keeps it roots from so long ago.

The Snow Top Drive In is an outdoor eatery experience. You drive up, place your order at the window and eat your food on one of the concrete picnic tables. Today the heat was brutal (101 degrees by my thermometer), so I decided to stay in my vehicle for this review.

Now, what to order? Snow Top features nothing but All-American foods such as hamburgers, chicken tenders, po-boys, sandwiches, etc. So I felt compelled to review the cheeseburger  meal since this was in fact a drive in.

I finally decided on the 1/4LB cheeseburger with cheesy tots on the side. Once I received my food, I first opened the styrofoam box to find my cheesy tots. Wow! They looked amazing! I had to dig into the tots first. Words can't describe how good these tots and cheese are. The tots were floating in a melted american cheese.  

I devoured the tots quickly, before taking a first bite of my burger. The tots alone are enough to bring me back time and time again to this place, but now its burger time, the holy grail of the drive in I guess you could say.

The burger was a very nice size. It seemed that the meat was weighed in at a 1/4Lb after being cooked instead of vise-versa like other restaurants. The burger had  that fresh off the grill taste and was very descent. Not the best burger I have ever had, but it had that classic-drive in burger taste. Yes Sah!

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Lagniappe Up!

Service
The service was pretty quick and the order-up girl was friendly. Not too shabby.

Atmosphere
When you eat here, it feels like you are stepping back in time a little bit. The building is a cool little roadside drive in that sits in the heart of Livingston (also a place that has that feeling of stepping back in time). The fact that you have to sit outside in the sun (no shade at all) is what kind of sucks. Make sure you come here on a nice day, or you'll be eating out of your vehicle like we did.

Now I know its a drive in, so i wont be too harsh with this rating. Eating outside does add to the experience, and overall, i had a pretty good one at Snow Top.
