About this home

There’s something special about places like Dad’s — the kind of restaurant people grow up with, bring their kids to, and remember for years. This well-known local favorite blends a classic drive-in feel with a strong reputation for great food, community connection, and small-town charm. For years, Dad’s has been more than just a restaurant — it has been a place that employed local youth, taught young people valuable skills in the kitchen, and became part of the fabric of the community. Perfectly positioned in a high-traffic location with excellent visibility, the property sits directly across from the beautiful Sugar River, adding to the atmosphere and experience customers have come to love. The building itself is in excellent condition and offers a true turnkey opportunity for someone looking to step into an established and respected business. The restaurant includes indoor seating with air conditioning, covered outdoor seating, two bathrooms, paved parking, additional rear parking, and even a playground area for kids behind the building — creating an environment families naturally gravitate toward. A metal roof adds long-term durability, while recent upgrades have already been completed for the next owner, including the purchase of three new deep fryers, a new freezer, and two newer True commercial coolers. All equipment, furnishings, and business fixtures are included in the sale, making this a rare opportunity to take over a fully operational and beloved restaurant with an established reputation already in place. Whether you continue the legacy of Dad’s or bring your own vision to the space, the foundation is already here for success. Call today for your private tour.
