A blast from the past experience. Service at the car window after you drive up and park. The best O Rings ever (a 5 star order). The cheeseburger was good. The service was excellent. I will visit again with my family.

Hubby decided to take the family out for dinner on a Saturday night it started raining on the way and he decided to bring us here. He has fond memories of this place from his childhood. You can either order from your car or go inside. They have plenty of parking. Hubby and I enjoyed the super boy while my littles had a cheeseburger or the kids tenders meal. It was all delicious. The fries were perfectly crisp and seasoned. The burger was just right. They bring the food to your car on a tray if you or eating in the parking lot. We were very pleased with the customer service. We enjoyed watching the cars on the busy highway as we sat and enjoyed our meals.

I've stopped by South 21 a couple times while in Charlotte, curb service has always been great and fairly quick. Love their Super Boy burger with cheese, I've tried their fried chicken also, it was fried perfectly and not greasy at all, but lacked any seasoning and was a bit bland for me. It's a neat old school drive-in definitely y worth checking out.
