Saginaw's Old Town Drive-In. Yes, it is a true old fashioned drive in where you can still eat in your car with those nifty window trays. They also have a small area inside for a dine-in experience as well.
God, I love this place. All their hot dogs are Koegel (Michigan owned and produced) hot dogs. Koegel hot dogs are honestly they only hot dog I actually enjoy eating outside of an Oscar Mayer cheese dog. Seriously, they are fan-f*cking-tastic. They have a natural casing so the have a crunch to them and the filling is not too dissimilar from knackwurst. Also, a Michigan coney dog is a thing of beauty. You've got your Koegel hot dog, savory coney sauce, a line of mustard, and onions. Yum.
Another one of my favorites is called a sizzle steak. It's thin sliced rib-eye sandwiched over a ground beef patty, grilled, and served on a bun. This is OUR version of a White Castle burger. I eat them with nothing but cheese on it. It honestly doesn't need anything else on it.
Old Town also has an in-house root beer that you will be hard pressed to find else where or duplicate. It's hard to explain but it's root beer but only with more strong flavors of vanilla and maple. It's also not overly carbonated either. It's great stuff.
This place is always one of my first stops when visiting home.
