“ We visited during lunch and although they were busy, the service was prompt and super friendly! The orders were brought out in a timely manner and were accurate. The jumbo burgers are generous in size! I had the jumbo cheeseburger and my Mom had the jumbo hamburger. She also had the corn nuggets and thought they were delicious. I tried the Sour cream logs (potato wedges). They were some of the best I have had! We look forward to going back and trying more items. ”
“ Classic drive in. Looks like a dump from the outside. That's just part of the charm. Burgers like you know you want. Fried okra was good. Onion rings are spot on. Outside seating (or in car) only ”
“ Tally Ho Drive is a locals favorite and is an historical curb service old fashion burger and shake joint since 1949. Don't let this place fool you. This is a drive thru curb service. Pull up and order in the parking lot and enjoy your meal. There is no delivery service available here. There is a drive through window and you can order ahead. The food here is awesome with quality ingredients. The Cuban sandwich is good and one of my favorite sub sandwiches ”

“ I wanted to take a minute to share my experience with Tally-Ho today.... We've always loved coming here but today absolutely sealed the deal on how much we really enjoy this place... I spoke to a nice lady named Ultra that works there and put in a pre-order for my daughter's birthday dinner request.... I came to pick it up today and Ultra went absolutely above and beyond what she had to for a pickup order for a little girl's birthday.... She personally put our food and tea together and made it extra special with happy birthday signs and stickers... She definitely went the extra mile for my birthday girl (I love how excited she was that a little girl picked tally ho for her birthday dinner!) and almost made me cry there on the spot.... I left giving her a huge hug!!! I'm just amazed by her kindness and I'm so glad that people like her are still in this world!!! Thank you Ultra and Tallyho for making my daughter's birthday extra special!!!!! I definitely recommend them if you are in town! ”
“ Talk about taking a trip back in time the car hop was prompt and courteous within a minute of pulling in the parking lot. They have a variety of delicious items and hand spun milkshakes. I thoroughly enjoyed the Cuban sandwich and the sour cream potato wedges! They've been around since 1948!! With their menu prices and delicious food they are bound to be there for many years to come ”
“ Locals favorite southern comfy food with an old school drive in feel, but the servers do not wear roller skates to your window to take orders. They do walk fast and provide excellent service right to your car window. BEST gizzards, livers & fried pickles ever! Great prices, awesome menu..enjoy in your car or take to go. There is no inside seating, but there are outdoor tables to enjoy iced sweet tea & dive sandwiches. Gem Dive! ”
