Sno-Cap Drive-in - Community Favorite

In 1962, Grant Hoyer opened the first Sno-Cap Drive-in in Aiken. The second location of the drive-in opened in 1964 and is now a North Augusta landmark.
“My husband and I bought the Sno-Cap from Charles Terry, who owned it from 1972, on Aug. 24th, 1996,” said Rachel Franklin, Sno-Cap’s owner and operator.
What makes this drive-in unique is the inside dining area. The 1960s-theme establishment has a black-and-white checkered floor, red booths and bar stools.
The menu includes Sno-Cap’s long dog and the Philly cheesesteak sandwich. You also don’t want to miss out on the homemade coleslaw and onion rings. And what diner would be complete without a root beer float.
“I’m very passionate about the Sno-Cap,” Franklin said.
She has worked hard to make the Sno-Cap a community favorite by having frequent events such as car cruise-ins on the last Saturday of the month, anniversary celebrations and fundraisers. 
Because it’s the 50th anniversary of the Sno-Cap, ask about the 50-cent daily specials. On Aug. 21, the 10-day anniversary celebration begins. Each day will have something new to enjoy.
Drive in to the Sno-Cap at 618 West Aven. and help celebrate 50 years of good food, fellowship and fun Monday through Saturday from 10:30 a.m. until the last person leaves. The drive-in also offers to-go orders, so call ahead for faster service at (803) 279-4004. Keep up with the Sno-Cap’s events and other news at www.snocapdrivein.com
