If you want to be more accurate it is a Drive Next to, unless you drive through the building to get your food.

Oil change places where you don't get out of your car are drive through, everywhere else is a drive next to.

You drive through the line not the building

You mean you drive along the line not through it.

I would go with "Drive Around", over drive next to, but I pedantically agree.

The etymology follows the drive-in which is basically a big parking lot you drive in to, do your ordering/eating/movie watching in your car, and then you drive out. And when you don't stop in the middle of a drive in, but instead you continue through it, in your car, it became a drive through.

The pedantic term is a drive-up, btw.
