Summer Fun in MHC: Part III

Ready to get away for a vacation or staycation? Here are a few more reasons to get out and explore Martinsville-Henry County this summer!

Fenderz

Fenderz Drive-In 

Want a fun dining experience filled with kind hearted, energetic people? Visit Fenderz in Collinsville!  They have some of the most amazing service and food you will ever experience.  You can get everything there from burgers, onion rings and hot dogs to milkshakes, sundaes and more. 

This fun-fulled restaurant has a great 50's theme complete with all the retro decor you can imagine. 

Recently, our staff visited to check out their latest creation, fried pickle chips. Imagine a crisp, sliced dill pickle, battered and deep-fried to perfection. Served with a side of ranch dressing that has just a hint of spicy wasabi, this appetizer is a true winner!
