Lemon Drop
The Lemon Drop is Anderson, Indiana oldest restaurant opening in 1954, and in my opinion the best little greasy spoon hamburger joint. This place is filled with charm. Located at 1701 Mounds Road, it brings back nostalgia. It is busy from the time it opens till the time it closes, so if you are traveling through Anderson, Indiana you got to check out the Lemon Drop.
The food is really good here. Though I suggest if you order a burger to get a double at least because the burgers are on the thin side.
I ordered the Toasted Double Cheeseburger, Fries with hot cheese and had a coca cola to finish it off.
There is plenty to look at while you are here
Sadly the jukebox was out of order today.
They cook everything in the open. So you know no one is doing anything to your food because you can watch them prepare it.
At the register they have Lemon drops they give away free to customers.
And you can buy Lemon Drop gear too

I grew up with this place. It was one of the choices for when my folks and I enjoyed a late meal together when my mom worked the evening shift at DelcoRemy Plant 11 and would have a break of about 30 minutes about 7:30 p.m. We'd pick up food, bring it to the parking lot, and eat together.
Those are my earliest memories of The Lemon Drop. It was also one place we'd eat when my best friends at the time (Robin & Kathey) rode home on the bus to visit for a few hours or overnight.
Going to share this in If You Grew Up In Anderson, IN.
My first memory of going here was you taking me there. I am not sure how old I was but I had to be I would assume around 4 or 5 years old or so. I might have went before then but that is my first memory and being obsessed with the train.
At that time, I'm not sure if the train were running. I had forgotten this, but I remember something about it now, and I'm thinking that the train about which you were obsessed was the real train going by on the track. I think that I probably also took you to a little railroad museum that was then located in the old NYC depot between 14th, Main, & Meridian Streets and the tracks.
no I mean the train that runs around the Lemon Drop the toy one. It was the first time I had seen one
They didn't always have that train there. I might have taken you in there after they got the train. I just hadn't remembered its being in there that long. The first train I saw like this was at a bar and grill in Lubbock, TX called The Copper Caboose.
