Drive through is a necessary evil if you’re on a highway on a tight schedule and yet REALLY hungry. There is no other excuse for doing that to yourself. Bad food, uncomfortable eating location, and, you know, the danger of killing yourself looking for that ketchup packet.
Usually I prefer dine-in. The only time I’d rather do take out is if a group of friends are gathering to watch tv or a movie or to play cards or similar. Then we’ll order a pizza or chinese and take it back to whomever’s house.
