Gordy's Hi-Hat drops pandemic carhop service

Things really are getting back to normal. Always a bellwether of spring with its March opening, Gordy’s Hi-Hat is now signaling the end of the pandemic by ending its carhop-style of service.

On June 17, the popular local burger joint announced they were transitioning back to counter service only, after trying to provide both carhop and counter service for several weeks.

“It just wasn’t going to work as efficiently as we had hoped,” read the Hi-Hat Facebook page. “Thank you for understanding and for allowing us to continue to serve you. We look forward to seeing you back at the front counter!”

Those who missed Gordy’s in the “Mobile Meals” episode of the Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives” show May 28 can tune in at 12 p.m. Friday, July 2 for their appearance on the show’s “Knockout Burger Joints” episode.
