Just off highway 220 in Collinsville Virginia is Jan’s Dutch Boy Drive-In. This relic of the 50’s is the sole survivor of a now long gone chain. As it did in the 50’s, the original sign still attracts hungry customers. Today, it attracts more locals than it does highway traffic. 220 highway traffic now gets caught by the more convient chains. But, if you know about these places beforehand and you are willing to try the mom and pop places over the chains, you can be greatly rewarded. And many times these gems are just a mile or two or less off the beaten path. They do have curb service, but for some reason the indoor seating seems to get you faster service. Inside, they have booths that look like they were out of the 70’s, they were colored in the always popular, pea green and yellowish brown. I ordered two slawdogs with fries and a sweet tea. It was only $3.82 and this was January of 2007. The tea was good. The fries were very good, and the two slawdogs were excellent. The dogs were the usual nuclear red in color and they were topped with very good chili, nice sweet slaw, mustard and onions. Enjoy!
