The familiar buzz of a classic American drive-in gently hums beneath the sky, carrying an inviting warmth that goes beyond the food itself. It’s a place that embraces the everyday traveler and hometown regular alike, offering a respite with genuine smiles and a heartfelt welcome.

Inside and out, the atmosphere is quietly comforting, echoing the rhythms of small-town life.

Excellent burgers in a comfortable setting. Prompt, friendly service. Small indoor and outdoor seating area besides the drive in. They also serve shakes, etc. I didn’t really look at the rest of their menu.

If you need to take a break on a drive, this is the place to fill up. Gas across the street and delicious food here. Their breakfast is amazing. #9 with chicken fried steak and they don't skimp on portions. My wife gets mad when I stop here and she's not with me

Stopped in after a hunting trip. Walked in right before they closed and was welcomed in. Food was delicious and portions were definitely filling. Service was phenomenal. Will definitely return!

Wow, one monster patty. I finished everything and I'm now ready to slip into a food coma. Good thing it's not my turn to drive. I really hate soggy or limp fries and was happy to have crisp yet tender ones, which I ate first, because, who likes cold fries! I highly recommend Viking Drive-In if you find yourself in the area. Can't wait to try the shakes next time. Follow-up, June, fantastic burger and the best fries I've had since the last time I was here. Consistency goes a long way. Another 5 star review across the board.

We loved this place!! We always try to stop at little off the path places when we are on the road, and The Viking Drive-Inn did not disappoint!! We got there for breakfast… we sat in the small dining room, felt like an old timey movie diner. I ordered biscuits and gravy with hash browns. My wife got the short pancakes stack with bacon and eggs. Both plates had plenty of food, they were fresh from scratch, taste of home, perfect temperature. The lady server was very friendly, kept coffee full, and checked on us regularly. I loved the atmosphere of the little diner, lots of old pictures of the town from old days, etc. We will! be back!! Thank you for a great meal!

This small diner was such a find! The service was fantastic and the food was delicious. The onion rings had tasty batter and were not greasy, and the burger was a classic. Our waitress was the sweetest lady! I would stop here again whenever I'm traveling through Sprague next.
