Bro. It's an old school drive up hot dog joint- what more can I say? I guess I can say that it's yummy and also a delightful little experience beyond the norm. The buzz boxes are not touch screens - they're old school and it feels like a time capsule. Wait staff was incredibly friendly and quick, even on a very busy Sunday afternoon. read more

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

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. read more

Dog N Suds - Burgers Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

Oh how the mighty have fallen . I haven't been to this location in a long time but remember it as pretty decent . Not anymore . Lunch was awful. I ordered 2 plain dogs with a side of fries and a small soda . My husband ordered 2 coney cheese dogs with fried mushrooms and a root-beer. The rootbeer was good, nothing else was . My fries made it obvious the oil needed to be changed and some were dark brown oil bombs . Gross. When you get a plain hot dog it's easy to see what's wrong . It was pale and mushy and bumpy that's can only mean it was microwaved. My husband a coney cheese dog fanatic didn't even finish his two . The coney sauce was overly sweet and the dog mushy . All in all pretty inedible. read more

An old-school drive-in, with good food, good service, good root beer, and a heaping helping of nostalgia. I grew up with Dog N Suds, in a different town. Still love root beer and drive-ins. This one is in town, in a retail stretch, but looks pretty much like the old ones did. And the food seems pretty much the same, as does the service from teens who set a tray on your window. Buttons on the ordering menu for service, and tray pick-up. A pretty traditional menu. I wasn't super hungry, but I figured since I was getting suds I'd get a dog. Just a plain chili dog. Not my first choice in general. But it was surprisingly good. Good bun, good dog, and the sauce: wet but not sloppy, tangy but not spicy, better than most I've had. Yum. The root beer is good-not-great, but served in a frosty mug and pretty refreshing. I'd definitely be back often if I lived nearby. read more

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. read more

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!!!!!! read more

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. read more

Dog N Suds is a local favorite. When I first moved here 35 years ago, this is one of the first places I was told to try out. The servers are great, always running about with orders. The food is decent, definitely not gourmet, but makes me happy. The business is seasonal, opening after Easter and closing around Halloween. read more

Awesome burger A great drive in to go to in the spring and summer time My family loves it

Good, fast, service. Wish the hot dogs were a little warmer though. Still great root beer and sides. Im glad they survived- I used to go to the Dog n Suds in Mishawaka as a kid in the 70s, so the nostalgia is awesome. read more

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 read more

Came in for a frosted mug rootbeer opening day. It was super busy and a wait, but everyone was super nice, and there were cops to direct traffic, so everyone was safe. The root beer was great asvalways a fun fav for the family. read more

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. read more

Dog N Suds - the iconic Dog n Suds imagery - Burgers Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

As someone who is not from the MidWest and had never been to a drive in before coming here, I would say I generally satisfied with my experience and understand why people like this place. That being said, it's just not for me. I got in right before they closed and just got a coney dog with coleslaw. The chili really surprised me with how it sweet it was, and while I can't say that I like my chili sweet, I can see why someone would go out of their way to come here for their chili dogs. The coleslaw was light and refreshing. The place felt like a blast from the past. The ambiance was relaxed and welcoming. The service was incredibly fast, granted we were the only people there at the time. read more

I haven't eaten at Dog N Suds in years, and recently decided to grab dinner at a location in Lafayette, IN. While to coney dog was good, the root beer was a major disappointment. I remember it being creamy and rich, with a nice flavor. This time, it was flat, barely cold, and just not good. If this was a fluke, ok. If this is what one of their signature items had become, they've jumped the shark. read more

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! read more

Dog N Suds - Single Bacon Char Burger - Burgers Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Dog N Suds - Foot long coney cheese dog with mustard and onions - Burgers Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

A true Lafayette classic. Old school drive-ins are hard to find. Especially with homemade root beer in a frosted mug. They have the best coney dogs I have ever had. The sauce is very unique. It has a sweet tang to it. I added cheese and onion, but I think I'd go onion and mustard next time. You can get a 4lb bag of sauce to take home (or for the off season) for $25. Onion rings are always fresh and crispy. Burger with cheese, pickle and special sauce was nice. Sauce is like a sweet mayo style. Service was fast and friendly. Prices are awesome here! read more

Love the concept of this place! Was my first time going in many many years. You pull up into a drive in spot, read the menu, push a call button and order. It's a super easy concept, but what makes it so much better is the execution of it all. The service is impeccable! We had 4 orders and lots of food and it was brought out so quickly with no mistakes. They honored all of our crazy requests, too. They are known for their root beer floats. I didn't order one, but I tried a friends and it was good! Their food was okay, but I honestly think I just ordered wrong. The burgers looked absolutely amazing. My chicken tenders were nothing special, though. Several people I was with raved about the cole slaw! read more

A Lafayette classic! Growing up in West Lafayette, we usually had their seasonal opening marked on the calendar. Coney dogs, root beer and burgers. And you still get to order from your car. Dog n Suds is a must experience. And their coney dogs are some of the best! read more

My first restaurant I ever went to in Lafayette with my grandpa. Still is as great as it was back then, very friendly staff, great American diner style food - all the fat, salt, and grease with it, and the little dainty mug of root beer for 15c is hilarious and adorable. The prices are good and can't go wrong with the Texas Burger or Boilermaker. Bummer it's closed during the winter! read more

I first went to the Dog-N-Suds as a kid in the 60's, as a high school student in the 70's, as a Purdue student in the 80's. This place is a living monument to drive in dining. I currently live in Chicago and anytime I am in the Lafayette area, I have to stop in. Nowhere else can I get a frosty glass mug of root beer with a tenderloin sandwich, like the ones they serve. The service is good and their prices are great. What more could you ask for? read more

I am hoping this review doesn't come off as biased, as this is solely my favorite place to eat, and I've never had a bad experience here. I fell in love with their coney dogs many, many, many moons ago. The coney sauce is sweet. The cheese adds a bit of flavor, and the onions (that you have to ask to be added on) add a bit of crunch. The buns are always so soft. Their corn dogs are delicious. Their fried mushrooms and slaw are my favorite of all fried mushrooms and slaws. And I'm not even going to get into how no one should live without trying their root beer. Seriously, this place sells liquid gold for your mouth. DnS has been a staple in my childhood, and I make a point, now that I've moved to Indy, to always try to stop by when I am in Lafayette. I follow DnS religiously. Watching for when they will open for the season, and when they, sadly, close the doors for the winter. My only complaint is that they aren't open year round, but then I wouldn't have anything to look forward to in the winter. read more

HAVE AGAIN: The root beer is very good. NOT HAVE AGAIN: The coney dog was good for a light lunch, but not good enough to order again on my infrequent trips. I've only had one coney dog here and it was 20 years ago. But I well remember it and really wanted to come back, which I did today. Maybe my tastes have change, but it was good. NEXT TIME: I'll order a burger and root beer float! read more

This is the first time ever being disappointed w Dog N Suds I ordered coney dog as normal lil cold but ok mushrooms that were not only burnt but full I mean dripping w grease my dogs enjoyed them though and finally a Texas burger let's just say my hands were extremely glowing after the grease oil on it all I can say is my hope it doesn't upset my dogs stomachs however the root beer was great read more

Food was subpar, got my order wrong and overcharged me, rootbeer was flat. Overall I would just assume driving to Kokomo and going to BK if i want this sort of food. Not what I was expecting by ANY means. Will most likely never return. read more

Hate to slam a local icon that I've been going to for the past 40+ years but the last two times we've been here the order taking has been terrible. Two cars on both sides of us came in after we did and their orders were taken well ahead of us, in fact we had to put our call light on to get the attention of a car hop before our order was taken. Previous visit we had to repeat out order three times. Something definitely has changed, not better, either. read more

Great root beer and coneys for the past few "decades."

We ate our dogs parked under the roof and listened to the intense down pour. The thunderstorm made the experience almost even better. The food was delicious and we know because we ordered half of the menu. My favorite is the slaw dog with mustard and onions. Oh, don't forget the root beer in the frosted mug. So so good. read more

10/10 This place is amazing. The coney dog is addicting. The root beer is top notch too in the frozen mug. Lafayette staple. The Boilermaker burger is also delicious. You can really taste the chargrilled. Burger King tried to break in watergate style last week to see how it's really done. Servers are super friendly. One of them is a literal life saver...saved an old man choking on artery clogging deliciousness. read more
