Always great food been coming here since I was a kid and it still online if my favorite places to come to still. And the staff is always great also. It's fun to eat in the car and I'm glad my grandkids get to enjoy the experience.

A quintessential drive-in experience. They even have the little tray for your window. We pushed the button to order and they took our order right away and we had our food probably within 5 minutes. Everything came out piping hot. The menu is fairly large so it may take you a minute to choose. I had the Texas Burger basket. I loved the fries and cole slaw, but not so much the texture of the burger patty. The coney sauce was good so I'd just skip the burger next time and go straight for chili cheese fries. The fries are really crispy so they'd definitely hold up to the chili and cheese. The root beer was delicious too.

What to say about Dog N Suds? It was amazing! I had a great time and ate some great food. I had the "Charco Burger." It had the perfect taste. The service was amazing and the workers were so kind. I loved the drive-in aspect. It just made it feel so retro! This place is amazing! 10/10! Would recommend!!!!!!

Chilli dog and cheese

I decided to get a quick bite to eat at DogN Suds on my way to Indiana Beach. The Chilli dog was great and the root beer excellent too. They do have ice cream here too but I was pretty full after eating my meal. Unusual decor but good service and very fast during my visit.

Overall: Come for the nostalgia, stay for the root beer. The good: Rivals some of the best root beer out there, and of course they serve it in a frosted mug (the way it should be enjoyed). While it's not exactly mind-blowing food, it's exactly what you expect and sometimes that's all you need. The corn and coney dogs are solid on their own merits, but the fries are incredible. Crispy and delicous. Service was fast and friendly. The not-so-good: The prices are a little high for what you get, and the bathroom is meh. Food/drink: 8/10 Atmosphere: 9/10 Service: 9/10

No need for this old dog to learn any new tricks. When you pull up to Dog n Suds, you can expect lots of suds and nary a dud. The corn dogs are crunchy, savory, delectable treats that are not to be missed. The burgers are grilled to perfection and topped just right. Even the french fries are engineered to be enjoyed, with each crinkle serving up salt and crunch to engage the senses. Last but not least, the coleslaw is fresh and creamy with a generous amount of celery seed to give you more bang for your buck. Love yourself and visit Dog n Suds today.

Single Bacon Char Burger

I was reluctant at first. I'm not a fan of Sonics. This place gives me the nostalgic feeling when I first tried Sonic with my parents as a young child and immediately turned off by it. My teammate had a another memory associated with this spot. Him and his dad used to eat here and when we found ourselves going by here after winning our tournament; it was only right! I ordered a single bacon char burger and it changed my whole point of view of this place! It was everything I like in my burger. Crispy, char taste, slim/medium thick patty. A no nonsense burger! Only why I'm docking it a point is because there's only one! Just to give you a point of view of how good this place is. We were sitting next to a family that was visiting from Texas and they said anytime they're visiting this place is a MUST STOP!

Diet root beer to-go

1950s diner-style restaurant and a true Lafayette classic. I grew up here my entire life and had never eaten the food at Dog N Suds, just the root beer. Well, I'm here to tell you that the food is incredibly mediocre but the root beer is 5/5 out of this world. I brought my boyfriend who was visiting from out of town and we got the footlong chili cheese dog, boilermaker burger with fries and side of cheese, cheese curds, a corndog and a few diet root beers. The food came out insanely fast--We ordered a lot and it came out in well under 5 minutes. The cheese curds were my favorite thing on the menu, hot, salty, fried and delicious. The chili cheese dog was a lot of bun and not a lot of dog or toppings. (That being said I dipped my extra bun in the cheese sauce we got on the side! Pro tip, this is delicious!) Either way, it's a great staple to take people visiting, and the root beer is best in class.

Dog n Suds started out in Champaign, Illinois in 1953 by two music teachers that opened a hotdog and root beer stand. It was a success and that created what we know as Dog n Suds today. I wish we had more Dog n Suds around Indianapolis. There's two in the West Lafayette and Lafayette area. They have the best char grilled burgers. They just have a great taste to them and the nostalgic call box to order from is also a plus especially during Covid. The service is fast and it looks like at this location they have built an area for outdoor seating with picnic tables will be added soon. The car drive up is all they have as of now. The root beer is what they're known for so order that if you've never had it. Coney dogs, floats, milkshakes, tenderloins and so many other great drive in staples are on the menu. My personal favorite it the Boilermaker. Knowing this restaurant came from a small root beer and hotdog stand ran by music teachers makes it even more unique and it's great to support it.

Foot long coney cheese dog with mustard and onions
Amber B.

I love Dog N Suds. I always make sure to visit when I visit Lafayette. I love that you can order and eat in your car. In the summer time I love eating on their patio too. I suggest ordering a foot long coney cheese dog basket with a large root beer. Their shrimp basket is a good choice too! Honestly, there isn't anything I would eat here. As a tip, ask for special sauce for your fries, thank me later. I worked at this location when I was in high school/college and I would definitely still eat here because they keep the working environment clean and everything is so delicious! Also, try their milkshakes, YUM!

Gotta be the worst hot dog I've ever had. Had one coney dog and felt sick the rest of the day.

2 stars. TL;DR -…read moreroot beer in frosted glass is divine; onion rings were delicious; service is lacking. We were intrigued by the root beer and loved the idea of enjoying it in a frosted mug, so we popped over for dinner. We ordered a myriad of things, all of which were eventually served in one giant paper tray with zero markings to identify what was what. And our root beers? Served in paper cups. When we asked about the frosted mugs, we were told they were about to close and had suspended tray service. However, the car that pulled in AFTER us received frosted mugs... and so did the folks seated at the picnic tables. So... huh? We flagged down a different carhop and asked why those patrons were still being served mugs. Again, we were told it was because they were about to close. But the sign clearly stated they closed at 10 PM, and both parties arrived after us and received mugs after we'd already been told service was suspended. Was this a case of dining while Black? In this current political climate, I honestly never know. I certainly pray that wasn't the case. The carhop apologized and didn't offer any additional excuses. She simply said she'd speak with the manager. Shortly thereafter, two frosted mugs appeared, filled with some of the creamiest root beer I've had in quite some time. I prayed over mine again because, listen... I worked in restaurants. I've seen crazy things. For the record, the hours posted on the menu board are incorrect. They actually close at 9 PM on Saturdays, not 10. And right at 9, the lights shut off completely. So if you plan to keep eating, you'll need to turn on your dome light like it's a tailgate party. The onion rings and root beer were genuinely enjoyable. The hot dogs, burgers, fries, and fried mushrooms were mid. Just... meh. Nothing to write home about. But what truly irritated me was the corn dog. Everybody knows the best part of a corn dog is that crispy little batter nugget near the stick. WHY would they scrape it off?!?!?! Who does that? Why would you intentionally remove the batter from the stick? I was absolutely appalled. Pffft! I'd return for the root beer or maybe a root beer float, but I'd strongly advise arriving before 8:30 PM if you actually want the full frosted mug experience.

Fast food done perfect! Quick accurate service with a smile…read more Fantastic cheese coney dogs. YUMMY!

TLDR: I'd return but I'd order differently…read more Service was very friendly and the excellent root beer flowed freely. Atmosphere is old time lunch counter with far too many pictures and posters from DDD. The food wasn't bad. The pork tenderloin sandwich was good as were the fries. I've got reservations about the Dean Purvis burger, though. It's a signature burger but as much as I believe that peanut butter is a blessing from above, it adds absolutely nothing to a cheeseburger. The counterman enthusiastically recommended adding bacon to the burger. I went for it but again, it really added nothing beyond an upcharge. The beef itself though wasn't bad at all. The onion rings were also not worth the addition. They're very much low end standard food distributor issue and distinctly 'meh.' I watched a frostie being made. It's something like an inverse root beer float, a lot of ice cream with a small amount of root beer. The number of scoops of ice cream that went into that blender was positively insane. So yeah, I'd go back but I'd order a tenderloin, a more basic burger, or something from the breakfast menu.

Breakfast all day! Usually, this feature at a restaurant is lost on me, because I don't care for a…read morebig breakfast as my first meal of the day, or really, any time of the day. But I was visiting West Lafayette, and it was morning, and I was feeling a little "under the weather," as my Polish grandmother would say when she went too hard on the Bud Lites the night before. So breakfast at Triple XXX it was, because I could walk there from the Purdue campus, and this restaurant is a West Lafayette institution. I got the Triple XXX Breakfast Special: two over-medium eggs, bacon, fried potatoes and wheat toast. And it was good, you know? It was simple and hearty. I especially liked the fried potatoes. But what really took it over the top is when my server, who was incredibly friendly, told me that she could bring me some root beer jelly to go along with my wheat toast. Record scratch. Say what, lady? Root beer jelly? Yes, Triple XXX makes their own root beer jelly, and they also sell it by the jar. (I bought a jar.) They are famous for their root beer, which is sold nationwide, so I guess it makes sense that they would also make root beer jelly. It tastes exactly the way you would think it would. It tastes like root beer! It's delicious. The seating at this restaurant is interesting: All of the seats are bar seats, and they face the middle of the kitchen. There were no tables or booths that I saw, unless you wanted to go outside and sit at one of the picnic tables on the patio. I liked this seating setup, because I could watch the action happen before my very eyes. The black coffee was very good. It better be, at a place like this! This is the kind of greasy spoon restaurant where old timers stay a while with a cup of coffee and a newspaper. (There were three such people doing something like that when I visited, as a matter of fact.) It's just a comfortable part of the West Lafayette community.
