Operating since 1948 near the airport, this cash-only, seasonal drive-in serves griddled burgers with a daily allotment of fresh beef—when they sell out, they close. Annually celebrated by local magazines, Nite Owl reopened for the 2025 season and still draws lines for its elemental double cheeseburger. Check hours, go early, and bring cash.
