More information on Rainbow Drive-in

What the Rainbow Drive-in lacks in ambiance it makes up for in value; diners will not leave hungry! This eatery is best known for great food and large portions served at shocklingly low prices. Most of the dishes are served in a to-go carton, so patrons either take out and eat elsewhere or order at the counter and dine outside on the patio. The mixed plate option, a sampling of several dishes, is the most popular dish.
