Fantastic smash burgers. I had a single chili cheeseburger with onions, lettuce, tomato and pickle. Theyre prepared fresh before your eyes on an old timely griddle. Customer service was top notch. Setting is a 1950s vintage drive in diner. Quaint and unpretentious. Enjoy your meal!

Great service. The fries were ok. But was super good, hot ham & cheese was really good. Have huge to go cups. Super nice. Take cash only, weird, but they have an atmosphere inside. Cute diner with only the swivel seats inside, but they have nice shaded picnic tables outside. Nice little diner with good food, and great service.

This is another wonderful classic American diner. Certainly worth taking a few minutes off the interstate to get to. There are 20 stools for seating that surround a long counter. Since 1948 they have been serving great old fashioned smashed burgers. The double cheeseburger was excellent. The onion rings were crispy and tasty. The fries are good and the smaller cut style. You watch all your food being cooked just a few feet away from your seat. The homemade lemonade was delicious. A quaint atmosphere with fun, talkative, friendly service. The staff enjoy their jobs and endeavor to provide your food quickly. Highly recommend. Oh, it's cash only. ATM available onsite.

Wee have been past this place at least 100 times and we finally stopped in. There was no disappointment. The staff was super friendly and reactions from other customers who found out it was our first time there was great. They were all regulars and I can see why. We had burgers that were really tasty with fries. We can't wait to go back and have breakfast! It has a old time vibe which was pretty cool just what you would expect. If you haven't been there yet put it on your list!

Went here for lunch today with a couple of friends. It was a recommendation from some people who live in Crystal City. It was not too crowded and was able to sit inside. Staff was friendly and professional. Waitress took out order as soon as we sat down. Are food arrived quickly and tasted good. If it was closer to where I work, I would go here more often. Clean and bright inside.

Great little old time diner. Food is great, cheeseburgers, fries, chili is amazing! Old fashioned shakes! Food is cooked right behind the counter like they used to. Parking lot is very small and it’s cash only so just be prepared. They do have an ATM on site.

If you are ever in Crystal City, Gordon's Stop Light Drive In is an absolute must-hit spot for the family. Walking in feels like stepping into a time machine because it has that perfect old-school 1940s burger shop vibe that is so hard to find these days. The food is incredible. The burgers and fries honestly remind me of McDonald's, but with way higher quality and amazing fresh taste. It’s that classic, thin-patty smash burger style done right. Just a heads up: it is a cash-only place, so come prepared! The prices are super reasonable and comparable to fast food, but you get a much better meal. Highly recommend!
