Susie-Q Malt Shop

Susie-Q Malt Shop 16x24 Oil on Masonite

This drive-in (malt shop) has been in the same spot (and run by the same family) in Rogers, Arkansas since the 1960s. They have a sign near the order window that reads something similar to "this isn't a fast food restaurant, the food is cooked when it's ordered". I'll vouch that they make the BEST hamburger, fries and shakes in the area. Rumor has it that they make a "killer" dessert but I've never been hungry enough to try anything else.

They close up for the winter and a sure sign that it's spring or almost spring and life is renewed is when they open for business in the spring. You have to get here early at the lunch hour or you'll need a lunch two hours! :-)

Their address is:

Simon - our 68 pound 3 year old Boxer. A little goofy, but I guess he's a true Boxer. Wants to be a lap dog when he grows up.

Casey - our 88 pound 4 year old boxer. He has a problem with his back left knee hurting him. The knee slows him down sometimes but is still a cuddle-puppy at heart.
