What’s more nostalgic than pulling up to a parking lot, getting waited on by a server (possibly on roller skates), and chowing down right there in your car? It’s not a drive-thru, it’s a drive-in just like the one many of our grandparents used to go to. Many restaurants are offering a socially distant carhop service by serving clients their favorite meals on trays attached to their windows. Roll down your windows and check out our guide to Drive-In Restaurants with Carhop Service in Central NJ and Beyond.

Know Before You Go: Some restaurants may be seasonal and some are only offering carhop service during the COVID-19 pandemic, so call before you cruise.
