Date of Visit: September 26, 2025
Last night on our way up to the cottage our usual Elkhart exit was closed and we ended up taking the other Elkhart exit. As we drove through Elkhart, we noticed some things we hadn't before. When I noticed Simonton Lake Drive-In and its Root Beer sign, I was tempted to stop, but we were already cutting it close to make the last barge.
Today we aimed to get through the cottage closing checklist to get off the island when the barge started running at noon. Since we started by turning the water off around 11am and did not think about making lunch before we cleaned all the dishes and started the process, we were really ready for lunch when we finally headed off the island closer to 2pm. Thus, we decided to not take our usual route back (exit only temporarily closed at night) and head back the way we had come last night and get lunch in Elkhart.
Dad almost pulled into a tavern looking place he saw, but we settled on the drive-in we saw the night before because we figured we could at least get fries and shakes.
Instead we discovered more appealing options on the menu and ended up with fish burgers, pickle chips, and fried mushrooms.
We also both enjoyed their homemade root beer (should have got a half-gallon or gallon to take home).
