Looking for a drive-in more authentic than Sonic and a burger better than Five Guys and ice cream better than Marble Slab with prices none of those other places can beat?

Check out Amburn's Hum-Dinger Drive-in at 1540 East Broadway Ave. [1] in Maryville (near the Five Points Roundabout).

An institution since 1957, Hum-Dinger has probably the best burgers and shakes you will find in Blount Co. The onion rings are proper, too, with a light batter and actual rings of onion (unlike those frozen, chopped onion fakes they serve at some places). Best chocolate malt I've had in a while, too. Highly recommended, but not on a regular basis if you are watching your cholesterol.

Note: the difference between a Grilled Cheese and a Plain
Grilled Cheese is that the Plain Grilled Cheese comes minus
lettuce and tomato.
