Mays Drive In

Great peanut butter fudge sundae! Only $ 3.50 for a large amount of ice cream. Location is beautiful. Right on a river, so there’s breathtaking scenery if you choose to sit outside.

I’m not sure how this place got 4 stars. It is an absolute mess. This was our second visit here, so we knew what to expect. There is one register for the whole place, so those taking orders at the window use the same register. I watched two people pulling money out of the register at the exact same time. How are their drawers accurate.
They need to assign people spots because every worker took a turn taking orders, and then when another person brought it out they had no idea who it went to… even though they hand out numbers. It’s quite disturbing that they take orders, cash and then serve food/​Ice cream without washing their hands.
They were out of most of the condiments and toppings at the self serve bar. They need a better option for getting ketchup and mustard. Spooning it into a tiny little cup is messy.
There is no leadership. There was a manager, but she seemed just as confused as everyone else. The place is so disorganized that it makes me shudder.
Food isn’t bad, but you have to get past waiting in a long line because now no one is watching the food ordering counter, because two people are now taking ice cream orders.
Oh and ice cream… I ordered a cookie dough stormer. The cookie dough was mushy and gross. I heard the one kid tell the manager it was soft and she said that it was fine and to serve it. She told him to put it in the walk in cooler when he was done. It was absolutely disgusting but I didn’t even want to speak with the manager about it. I just wanted to run out of there as fast as I could.
Next time we will go somewhere else.

This is the second Sunday in a row we’ve been in the Lewisburg/​Milton area and lunch options are limited. However, this is the second week in a row we’ve left happy. This week’s choice was May’s Drive-​in. The view of the river from the dining room is beautiful. The inside is what you’d expect from a burger and soft serve place that’s obviously been her a while. I also give props to the staff. They are also exactly what you would expect from this type of place — friendly and outgoing.
Now for the food. Here’s where Mays fell. I had the fried fish sandwich. It was okay. My wife had the burger and the best thing she could say is that we’ve been having «gourmet» type burgers lately and a fast-​food burger once in a while is good. Not a glowing recommendation. We shared a coffee shake that was a little on the bland side.
All in all, Mays may not be fantastic food, but it’s a friendly place with good food and a nice view.

May’s is a basic Sandwich and Ice Cream stand with a dining room. They also have a full service breakfast. Lunch and dinner you order at a counter and they are brought to you. I just had the ¼ lb cheeseburger «basket» (includes fries). A nice, good tasting burger without «special sauce». There is a bar with condiments, pickle slices, lettuce, etc.
Then I had a nice cream sundae; plenty large for the money but not the best I’ve had… again basic good food but not exceptional. But I didn’t expect exceptional… just a quick pleasant meal. And that’s what I received.

Only ever been for breakfast, but the best breakfast in town. Great service, great prices and doesn’t get as crowded as perkins, goodwill, etc. Just make sure you sit down before 11!
