The Lemon Drop opened on January 19, 1954, and has been serving up its famous onionburgers to Anderson residents ever since. Owned by Bill Pitts since 1972, and run by a staff of 9, this tiny building is hard to miss, with a (you guessed it) lemon yellow facade, bright yellow drop perched above, and an original fifties-style drive-in sign along the roadside, alerting you to its presence. The roadside sign almost always features a catchy phrase or quote to catch the attention of passing drivers. The photo featured here displays the phrase, "People don't care what you know, until they know that you care!"

Menu items include french fries, onion rings, breaded tenderloins, cheeseburgers, and chicken fingers. Their most famous item, though, is their onionburger, something that owner Bill Pitts says you do not have to like onions to enjoy. It was even voted the #1 burger in the state of Indiana! Another popular choice is the toasted cheeseburger. Why toasted? Because burgers arrive on toast - unless you ask for a bun, you will not get one! Sandwich and burger prices range from about $2.25 to $4.25. Desserts include ice cream and milk shakes, and regulars swear by their flavored sodas - try the cherry or lemon. This gem only holds around thirty people, and fills up fast. They're not open Sundays, so be sure to stop by on a Saturday or weekday. Praised for their ambience, friendly service, and all-around good food, the Lemon Drop is one of the few eclectic, non-chain eating establishments left in Anderson.
