North Carolinians are true connoisseurs of anything filled with nostalgia and history. The Tar Heel State is brimming with diners and drive-ins that reflect our fondness for remembering places that remind us of days gone by. The next time you find yourself heading to Western North Carolina, step into the 50’s with an old-fashioned meal at a North Carolina icon that’s been around for more than 70 years – and hasn’t changed in decades: Naber’s Drive-In.

The much-loved eatery is nestled between Bryson City’s Main Street and the Tuckasegee River and routinely answers the persistent taste buds of locals and visitors alike who return for another great meal at a great price.

Visit, and you’ll have the choice to pull up and order from your car (then wait for the food to arrive on a tray that gets hooked to your window) or go inside and grab a booth.
