Sonic restaurants had the motto “Service with the speed of sound!” and they were surprisingly fast. You can still find some in smaller towns that have “car hops” on skates — both the boys and girls.
So cute to see Rover in the pedal car—my son had one when he was 3 or 4 and he would “drive” over to our neighbors’ house when we went to visit. I don’t remember A&W drive-ins, perhaps a bit before my age group, but my dad would take us to a place called Royal Castle (not White Castle) where we would have tiny little hamburgers (like sliders) and birch beer.

I don’t remember eating at any place where the servers were on roller skates, but I do remember very fondly the meals at A&W.

I remember them well. Was so impressed as an eight year old—— wanted to marry one

Is that A&W root beer in that dish?

I believe he’s doing an “Ina Bauer” move on those roller skates.

Stewart’s Root Beer and Rutt’s Hut in NJ both had skaters in the parking lots until the mid 60s

I remember A&W too, but don’t recall scates. Red’s version does, though!

Love Rover in the peddle cart! Also, apparently a lot of us have found memories of A&W drive-in restaurants.

Red definitely loves Rover…. and, vise versa.

I remember car-hops at Manners Big Boy in the 50’s! So cool!There was the back row in the lot, for all the hot rods and cool kids! LOL

Channelling the 50s drive-in. I don’t think the water will make it.

A&W and Jerry’s Drive in, both in Burlington, IA, my home town. It was waaaay back in the early 60’s for me.
