4 minutes off the highway if you're traveling and looking for a treat. Drive-in with car hops and limited seating inside. Clean bathrooms accessible outside. Ice cream was good. Hubby said they were a little light on the malt in his hot fudge malt, but overall, it was worth the 4 min drive.

In my original review I said there were no ice cream treats. The restaurant followed-up with a note to say I missed that menu, which is on the passenger side of the car.

Great little hometown burger joint. Best sweet tea I've had in the north so far. Burgers are fresh bacon is real. Onion rings are fresh and crispy

As usual when I'm in Chillicothe and need to grab a bite, I drove by all the national chains to get to Hicks. Why? First, because it's a local establishment, and I try to buy local when I can, especially in small towns. Second, I really wanted a tenderloin sandwich. And MAN do they have a great one! Not so huge that you can't manage it, but definitely larger than you expect. And the tots? Phenomenal. All that would be great by itself...but the carhops who work there always come out with a smile, a great attitude, and they make you feel like they WANT you there (and that they want to be there, too!). Of course, now that they're masked because of Covid, you have to see the smiles in their eyes, and my server tonight certainly had them. Food? Excellent. Service? Excellent. Speed? Excellent. There's no reason to go to the national places, when Hometown Drive-In consistently knocks it out of the park. This is my fifth or sixth visit, and I'll definitely be back!!
