The first thing I noticed when I entered Atlantic Drive-In was the aroma of toast. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive brown and forest green decor. We were greeted and seated in the Crutch Room, a frightening room decorated with numerous houseplants and leather cotton balls. Our waitress, whose name was Ursula, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were strawberry shortcake, squash blossom soup, prune pudding, and refried beans. I decided to order Hot dogs Florentine and my companion, Horst, ordered Beef bouillon Espagnole. Ursula seemed stinky as she brought in our orders about ten minutes later. I had a piece of tofu on the side, and Horst had a bowl of chicken soup. A can of Ensure was a perfect complement for my hot dogs.
The Hot dogs was odd but a bit wet. The common way to cook with raspberries is to marinate first, but our chef chooses to blanch, then blend it into the hot dogs. Horst thought the beef bouillon seemed a bit luxurious, but said he would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about ninety-one dollars, which I think is adequate. Overall, the food was good enough, the atmosphere was amazing, and the service was average. If you are a forgetful person, this might be the worst place for you.
