Presley's Drive In - Jonesboro

I love coming to this place!  Its a true local 's place and I haven 't had a bad meal yet.  If you come for breakfast and want pancakes, come hungry! They hang off the plate and one is a meal.<br/ <br/ The double cheeseburgers are just what you 'd expect from a drive-in..<br/ The decor as one reviewer put it as 'simple ' but the food makes up for it!

Keep this classic alive. On my most recent visit to Jonesboro, I was shocked most of the great classic restaurants had closed, and the town seemed to be inundated with new chain locations. Gee Street in particular was hit hard all but one of its working class eateries have closed.<br/ <br/ The one that survives is Presley's Drive In, and thank goodness for that. Presley's has served generations. It recently had a shift in ownership, but the new owners are doing their best to preserve this classic piece of Americana.<br/ <br/ They have a few obstacles, though. On this most recent visit the ice cream machine went out. This is a sad thing for any dairy drive in, but Presley's made good, offering slices of pie and cake for those who wanted ice cream but missed out.<br/ <br/ The unsung hero of the establishment is a Reuben sandwich one of the best I have had shredded corned beef on seeded bread with Russian dressing and kraut. Consider it over the burger next time you go.

Best Diner Ever!. Presley's is open again- new owner is awesome!! Food is great! Expanded hours of Mon-Fri 6am-8pm, Sat 6am-4pm!! Highly recommend it!

Great service! The waitresses are country and friendly! A great place for a burger!

In a different time and place, Presley’s Drive In was a place of summer. Started by Harold and Hettie Mae Presley back in the early 1970s, it passed first to their son Terry Presley and then to Gary McGill, a fine dairy diner that has now served western Jonesboro for more than 40 years. The décor has always been simple dairy diner, with a nod to a distant relative born in Tupelo. My boyfriend and I lived half a mile west of Gee Street in the late 90s, and we’d gather up laundry twice a month and head over to the Magic Touch for a laundry derby… and once the first round of loads were in on a Monday afternoon, I’d walk over to Presley’s and pick up brown derbies for us both. At the time, Gee Street was much different. There were all sorts of restaurants that lined the streets, like the Milky Way Drive In and Grandpa’s along with the old grocery store, flea markets and low-income motels. And in the summer it was all whitewashed and ancient and out of time. When Grav and I went back to see
