NEW JERSEY – Get ready for a taste of nostalgia and classic American fare! Stewart’s Drive-In, a beloved landmark on Delsea Drive in Vineland, New Jersey, is gearing up for its 50th season, kicking off on March 9th, 2024.
This year holds special significance for Stewart’s as it marks a changing of the guard within the Rossanese family, who purchased the restaurant in 1974. Louis Rossanese, son of the original owner, is taking the reins, promising to uphold the traditions while adding exciting new features.
One such addition is “The Backyard,” a spacious child and family play area slated to open later in the season. This exciting development caters to the generations who have grown up frequenting Stewart’s, ensuring the tradition continues to thrive.
Stewart’s Drive-In isn’t just a local eatery; it’s a testament to a bygone era. Founded in 1924 by Frank Stewart in Ohio, the chain quickly gained popularity for its signature root beer and classic American fare. Though the chain has seen its share of expansion and contraction, the core values of quality and community have remained constant.
Today, Stewart’s Drive-In primarily operates in New Jersey, offering a nostalgic experience for patrons across the state. The drive-in format itself evokes a sense of simpler times, where families piled into cars for an evening of hot dogs, root beer floats, and outdoor movies.
While the exact menu for the 50th season is yet to be announced, one thing is certain: Stewart’s Drive-In remains dedicated to serving up the classic American food that has made it a local favorite for five decades. Whether you’re a longtime patron or a curious newcomer, Stewart’s promises a taste of Americana alongside a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
So, mark your calendars for March 9th and head down to Delsea Drive to celebrate this momentous occasion with Stewart’s Drive-In. As they embark on their 50th season, you can be sure of one thing: the legacy of delicious food, friendly service, and classic American charm continues to cruise strong.
