"What a fun, nostalgic "Drive In" diner. The staff were very friendly, and we loved the decor and atmosphere. It was like stepping back in time. Complete with juke box. Indoor seating as well as car hop service. We stopped in for one of their famous hand spun milkshakes, and it did not disappoint. We recommend the butterscotch."

The Daley Trade - Titusville
Thanks to some local friends, I've always been given some recommendations: Sunrise Bread Co., the tacos at P&K Food Mart (you have to go), Vine and Olive, and maybe, for nostalgia's sake, a trip to the Moonlight Drive In. One recommendation that I had yet to hear of was The Daley Trade. After some research, I was immediately hooked by their menu and rotating seasonal dishes.

The MoonLight Drive-In (1515 S. Washington Ave.) opened in 1964, a glorious year for music as well as space exploration. A rocking carhop (as well as eat-in) it remains, with burgers, milkshakes called “Orbiters,” if they include mix-ins, and ice cream treats. Under new ownership, it deserves a try.
