Keller's Drive-In

The overview

Carhops, cold beer, and the #5 since 1965.

Keller's Drive-In has kept the car-hop tradition alive on Northwest Highway in Dallas since 1965, serving its famous #5 double burger on a poppy-seed bun — and ice-cold beer — to customers parked under the canopy. Chrome, rockabilly and a cash-only window make it a genuine time capsule.

A Dallas drive-in institution for 60 years, Keller's is the 2026 Centurion Award winner.

A signal you can check.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after Keller's Drive-In cleared the 2026 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again.
