B&K - Southside - Hot Dog Stand in Peru Indiana, is considered a car hop type of restaurant. You…read morepark under their awning, with the menu board dangling from the rafter of the outdoor rafters. There is no seating inside of this establishment. You stay in your vehicle to order. Depending on if you are ordering to stay and eat or to go, you can either eat in your vehicle or they do have a couple of picnic tables you can set at. Most recently, maybe a year or two ago, they added a little playground area for kiddos to play while waiting for their meal to be delivered. Most of the time, the car hops gals will bring your food out to your vehicle, on a tray that hooks on to your driver or passenger side window. The service is always excellent. The food is always amazing and the car hops whom take your order start their first job working here while they are in high schooler or on summer break. I highly recommend you try out B&K - South, once in your life, in Peru, Indiana. They're so kind, caring and deliver your order in a very timely manner. I also recommend their gallons of Root Beer. They have the absolute BEST Root Beer in town. You can buy it by the pint or gallon to take home. Its a MUST! The one and only complaint I have seen/heard from people is the parking when B&K first opens. (They are only open from Spring to the beginning of Fall.). They do get super busy when reopening for the season, but it is really not too bad to where the wait is way too long. (Also would depend on how long your lunch break is.) I would play it smart and call in to order ahead of time and pick your order up if you don't have a lot of time to wait. Once the excitement of reopening dies down, the parking gets a LOT better and service speeds up as well. I always have given B&K - Southside a 10/10. They have never disappointed!

This year I brought my LA raised bf and he loved it! Essential order is a Spanish cheese dog with a Vanilla Root Beer and a side of Cheese cubes!!! There's something truly special about pulling up, parking, and enjoying your meal in the car! B&K offers a rare, classic, laid-back experience that for me (and many others) is a cherished summer ritual. If I had the time to stay a bit longer, I would have gotten the Vanilla Root Beer served in the iconic frosted mug - highly recommend!! Our service was very friendly and super quick for pre dinner hours mid-week. They used to be cash only - but cards accepted and even Apple Pay!

My wife and I were passing by the area and felt we had to try it. It reminded me of the old time drive in places. You pull into a spot flash your lights if needed to signal you are ready to order. Service was prompt. Menu is limited but good for a driver in. Food came out in a short period of time and it was still hot. They left the tray on the window as expected. Prices were good, portion sizes were good. I found the food quality and taste were also good. What makes this place a must try is that is a drive in. There is an awning in case it's raining. Server was friendly and equipment was clean and in good order. Place was not packed but there seemed to be quite a few cars doing the same thing we were. I enjoyed it. Overall a good experience. Would I stop there again. If I find myself passing thru the area again I would definitely stop back in.

I went to Gene's Root Beer Stand expecting a normal lunch, and instead I got a full-blown emotional awakening. The root beer? Colder than my ex's heart and twice as sweet. The food? I swear the hot dogs were so good I considered writing them a thank‑you note. The staff handed me my tray like they were presenting a sacred artifact, and honestly? They were right. Every bite tasted like summer vacation, childhood nostalgia, and the feeling of finding $20 in your pocket all at once. If Gene's ever goes out of business, I will personally chain myself to the building. That's how good it is.

I got the coney dog, a Chicago dog, small chili, medium drink, and small frozen yogurt cone, which was more than enough food.

I enjoy supporting small businesses. Being gluten-free and dairy-free, I asked them loads of questions about their ingredients, way before they even finished setting up their booth. They even showed me the hot dog package so I could see the ingredients myself. (Note: if you are gluten-free, gluten is masked is lots of other ingredients so you have to be cautious). Their hot dogs did have gluten but they advised me they have walking tacos, which I love and haven't enjoyed in quite a while. They went over the entire list of their walking taco chili ingredients with me and YAY for me, I could indulge! My walking taco included Frito's Corn Chips, Tarp's Chili, and Salsa. Simple ingredients made very tasty. They were very accommodating and super nice !
