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
Liz S.

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.

We were passing through Lafayette and stopped to eat a late lunch/early dinner. We sat outside in…read morethe patio overlooking the 'splash' fountain by the Amtrak station. I had the Bru burger that was so delicious and unique- carmelized onion, cheese, bacon and tomato jam! I had it over lettuce but gf bun was available. The side of fries with a unique ketchup- house made? The ice tea was fresh brewed. Husbands had a salad with roasted chicken. Afterwards a stroll across the pedestrian bridge- Wabash River was beautiful!! Highly recommend

Absolutely unacceptable service. Our party of five was seated and then essentially forgotten. We…read morewaited 15-20 minutes without being acknowledged by a single employee--no greeting, no drink order, not even a quick "Someone will be with you shortly." During that time, the couple at the table next to us got up and walked out after also receiving no service. We finally did the same. Seven people walked out within minutes of each other, and no one even seemed to notice or care. We completely understand being busy or short-staffed, but acknowledging customers takes seconds. We weren't expecting immediate service--we were simply expecting to be recognized after being seated. We never had the opportunity to order a single drink or bite of food. Unfortunately, we can't review the food because the lack of service made it impossible to stay long enough to try it. Extremely disappointing experience.

My friends and I stopped by on a road trip. Despite how popular it is, the four of us were seated…read moreinside within 10-15 minutes. Of course, we opened up with root beer and root beer floats. I had a float and then a regular root beer later and while I DO love a good float (and this was good), Triple XXX's root beer is so good it deserves to be drunk itself. I got the famous Purvis, the burger with the peanut butter. It was...interesting. I took a bite and thought "yup; that's peanut butter". It weirdly worked? And let me tell you, these prices are GREAT. If you pay cash, you can avoid the ~$3 credit card charge but even with that, prices are AMAZING. Wonderful spot, I'll pass by every time I have an excuse.

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.

I'm gonna be like Ed McMahon on Star Search and give Teays River Brewing & Public House …read more.. (drumroll) ... three and three-quarter stars. I realize that referencing Star Search is some washed unc behavior, so forgive me. You probably don't even know what I'm talking about. But let's focus on the fact that I really want to give this place four stars, and so I did, because Yelp doesn't allow fractions, so I rounded up. But Teays is getting four stars with a couple of caveats. We'll just get it out of the way. I don't know if the burgers always taste like nothing, but we got two burgers today (the Burnworth Burger and the cheeseburger on the kids' menu), and both reportedly tasted "weird" and like "nothing." I didn't believe it until I tasted the burgers, and yep, nothing. Imagine if you suddenly got Covid and lost your sense of smell and taste. That's what the burgers tasted like, despite the Burnworth Burger having things like hatch chilis and red pepper aioli on it. Very weird! Maybe we just visited at an off time when the cook forgot to season the burger patties. Who knows. My meal, however, was great. I got the pulled pork sandwich, and the pork was so tender and flavorful, it almost didn't even need the small cup of barbecue sauce that it came with. It also came with some coleslaw and a choice of a side. (I chose fries.) I also got a pint of the Trauma Llama Ding Dong, which is a hazy IPA. It was very good! I do love a good IPA, and this one is made by Teays. This is a kid-friendly brewery, with lots of seating outside. Inside, there's a big bar for adults, but also lots of seating for groups and families. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant for parents who want a place to get a beer and also relax because their kids are more than welcome.

It was early and a table full of local law enforcement was having lunch. Always a good sign when the locals eat there. They are housed in an old building. There is patio seating, bar area seating an another large dining room with a large beer mural. We got a table by the window. Matthew was the only server working when we arrived. He was friendly and made recommendations despite being busy. He said the soups are homemade and a guy comes in a makes them a couple times a week. The soup of the day was a Turkey Alfredo. The soup was creamy, hearty and thick. The seasoning was perfect, not too much salt. I would have traded some of the noodles for a few more vegetables. But it was really good none the less. The Tap Room Chicken Sandwich,bbq pulled chicken topped with melted cheese and deep fried onion wedges, stole the show. A generous portion of the chicken topped a fresh chewy pretzel roll. The onions were unique and delicious. Sandwiches come with fabulous house made chips. Soooo good, golden brown and not too salty. Yum. His sandwich was $2 off as a daily special.
