Wigwam Drive-In, located at 419 3rd St in Ravenna, KY, is a charming dive that radiates nostalgic vibes reminiscent of 1957. This mom-and-pop establishment is renowned for its traditional, handmade meals that stand out in a world dominated by franchise chains. The dining experience here is cherished by locals and travelers alike, with patrons highlighting the charm of the service. Jeff York eloquently noted the worthiness of any wait due to the individually prepared dishes, while Ella Spence raved about the quick service and delicious coleslaw that shouldn’t be missed. Each visit promises to unveil gastronomic delights, including the fan-favorite Country Boy Burger and a mouth-watering array of homemade pies expertly crafted by the owner. Brian Thompson, after a 30-year hiatus, found the food invaluable enough to drive 60 miles, further cementing the establishment’s allure. With exceptional service and a menu that caters to traditional tastes, Wigwam Drive-In makes for an ideal stop, especially for burger lovers and pie enthusiasts. As noted by Ashley Knox, even closing time doesn’t compromise quality, something that Amber, the talented cook, exemplifies. Just a heads up—this hidden gem operates on a cash-only basis, making it all the more authentic!

1957 and 1957 atmosphere , service and quality. Its small, you may have to wait but, it's worth the wait. Very traditional hand made and individually prepared meals. No franchise out if a box mix food here. Pies, famous for homemade pies. I had out of state family guests last weekend. Wigwam is where I took them.

Hadn't been here in 30 years. The food was great and the service was outstanding. Well worth the 60-mile road trip.

I know I'm always bragging on this place but yall i swear best place in town to eat and best prices i almost bet anything on that one forsure this place has been there every since I was a child and my papaws store ( wise place) is right up from it so I've spent many a many years yup at the store everyday and running down there and getting my food for the day right there at the wig wam! Love it, my papaw would give me the money to go get us food and on good days get ice cream pie or milkshakes but always regardless of what we got it was always the best eating and always a friendly smile to greet ya! And now days I still go there alot but not everyday like back then, but my great friend works there and she will always be nice polite and caring to her customers and a friendly conversations and smile from Sarah. And you're good food may be prepared by my friend casey and I wouldn't forget amber also they are all my good friends and great ppl go on up and get yall a country boy box n mtn dew they never disappoint me ever! And if ya in a hurry to get back to work etc, just call em up and place ya order an they will have it ready for ya when ya get there! Always try ta tip if ya can, cause ya know a small town business ain't always the best paying jobs but the place just means the world to the girls working there and they can use a good tip when possible! Way better then anything 5 star restaurant in my book I'll take the wig wam over it any day yall are just simply amazing I'm sure I'll be coming by one day soon, like this week sometime I'm sure yall have a blessed day and smile and go eat ya some good ole cooking at the wig wam!!! Gotta take my Lil doggy and get her ice cream can't go without her!!

Excellent service! Lovely older restaurant with delicious food! We drive our VW Beetle there and ate outside on the patio tables. The cheeseburger boxes were worth the cost.

Do you remember being a kid and running to a playground where a bunch of other kids are playing and being greeted by "What's your name?" that starts everyone saying their names? Being welcomed into a new place, instantly. That's Wigwam. That's the culture of everyone who came in, ate near us, told us stories, and started friendships. Oh, the food is amazing too.
