Mona Warrick Were lucky to live so close to this family-friendly drive-in restaurant! Delicious, varied menu with something for everyone. We love the fish. Its battered and cooked to order. Were also fans of the slaw, which has been popular to diners since the 1950s. You can get a fish basket or sandwich. You cant go wrong.
Fresh barbecue sandwiches are always available. On the weekends, Yesterdays offers delicious brisket and ribs fresh from the on-site smoker.
The restaurant is exclusively carhop now. There was a small dining area prior to the pandemic. There are picnic tables available for warmer weather. You can always call in your order and carry-out.
If you want lunch, my advice is to call ahead and pick it up. The restaurant is crazy busy around noon.
My only negatives would be, as with many places, there is a lot of staff turnover. Be patient with the carhops. The food is with the wait. Also, the restaurant closes early evening, so keep an eye on the clock!
If youre in Carmi, stop by and try something delicious.
