C&J's Drive-In — Make it Cheesee grilled cheese pull-apart
Fan Favorite
Make it Cheesee

An Alaskan
Icon.

Down on South Cushman, past the snow drifts and the diesel-warm storefronts, a chrome-trimmed counter has been turning out hand-pressed patties and tall, frosted shakes for as long as anyone in Fairbanks can remember.

No pretense. No reinventions. Just real diner food cooked the way it ought to be — on a flat-top, by people who know your name.

Step Inside

Red Booths.
Chrome Glow. Jukebox Nights.

Slide into one of our crimson booths under the mural of '57 Chevys and small-town Saturday nights. The jukebox is loud, the neon is buzzing, and the kids' coloring books are stacked next to the ketchup. That's the whole pitch.

Look for the neon. Park out front. Bring the family. Ride home with a Styrofoam cup of root beer float wedged between the seats.
