Smalls Drive In in Athens, TN
Small’s is a 65 year old original car hop drive in, burger joint. Small’s just celebrated 65 years with a cruise in on 8/9/25. The car hop is still active, and the half pound burgers are still hand pattied by 83 year old “Nana”. It doesn’t get more vintage authentic than Small’s, with an original order ticket from 1960 hanging on the wall! The best burgers around (voted best burgers in McMinn County 20+ years and counting) , and listed online as a top 8 Tennessee Restaurant to visit.
