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

We are huge fans of dog n suds! Everytime we come to West Lafayette we have to visit! It's the cutest most quaint establishment! Always has the most amazing food, quick service, and delicious root beer. You can order at a meter or drive in like a sonic! Has the cutest retro vibe that takes you back. Some of our favorites are the boilermaker (love the burger sauce), coney cheese fries, hot dogs, and of course root beer. Already cannot wait to go back! Definitely recommend!! read more

Got the world famous corny dog basket. Everything was freshly made and taste good, the bun of hotdog could be better. Service was good but it took a long time to my turn to order and there were 4 cars in the lot. Interesting drive-in place. read more

I took my boys last week when the weather warmed up. We ate at the covered picnic tables. The employees were wonderful, the service was fast, the food was tasty, and the prices were affordable. We will be back soon. read more

Delightful and easy going old fashioned drive in diner setup with large outdoor gazebo for groups to congregate and enjoy the city life while diving into the best root beer in the city! Excellent well trained staff, decent expected prices, perfect location, big enough menu, and easy going good food fix to top it with that iconic root beer: sorry Triple XXX, this dog eat dog world has you scampering! I'm not going to say the burgers or food in general is anything to brag on, does the trick well enough but against fierce competition in this city like The Bryant, Big League, AJs, and Teays, at these prices the food fits right under the drink here. But that root beer, shakes, and creative desserts are the full win. There's nothing like the frosted mug of creamy root goodness on muggy Indiana day! read more

Food is good but problem we have had 3 times in a row now is that the worker taking the orders, is going so fast trying to get orders in they do not listen well. Each time we have asked for a basket and never receive the fries. Then when asking they tell us we did not order a basket at all when really they did not put it in. After the first time we have made sure to say basket and it keeps happening again and again. read more

A fun experience to try! Don't know if I'd go back though. The coney dog was good but tasted a tad bland. The root beer was nice and refreshing. read more

Old fashion drive in. Love coney dogs Root beer floats. Love it. They also have corn dogs read more

Love this little time capsule! Drive up window service with homemade root beer. The root beer is served in icy mugs! The waitress Jayden was fantastic! Super sweet and attentive. read more

Talk about hot dogs and yum! I have been meaning to come to Dog N Suds for way too long and after finally going this afternoon, I am happy to announce that it is worth going to. Similar to a Sonic, you have the option to drive up into a parking spot and order your meal and have it brought out to your car. This is not my favorite way to eat, but for those who enjoy that, Dog N Suds is the place for you in the Greater Lafayette area. If that doesn't strike your fancy, they have a little pavilion spot for you to sit and eat at if you'd prefer, which is what I will probably do in the future. The food is what you'd expect. It wasn't mind-blowing or anything, but it was enjoyable for what we wanting and expecting. The service was prompt too in ordering and coming to get your tray if you are eating from your car. Now get out there and enjoy a tasty hot dog and some delicious root beer while it's hot as heck out here in the Midwest. read more

Ugh. I don't understand the attraction of this place. The service is subpar and the food terrible. You either eat in your car or on their patio. You don't even have the option to order face-to-face with someone. If you're not ordering from your vehicle, you have to walk to the lone ordering station and scream into a fuzzy speaker. And of course they don't get your order right. We ordered a cheeseburger that came out with no cheese. Instead of having one of the cooks remake the burger, the waitress comes back holding a cold square slice of cheese and hands it to us. ?!? read more

Always a fave when I am able to stop in at one of these. Nostalgia from when I was little with my parents. Had the kraut dog, which was wonderful. The breaded mushrooms disappointed. Soggy and lacking in any flavor. The root beer float stole the show as always read more

Dog N Suds - Burgers Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

They get crowded on a good weather kinda weekend say so the wait time is long but the food is fine. The breaded mushrooms and fries are delicious, the pricing is inexpensive, and the portions are generous. I've had the hotdogs and they're okay - not anything amazing - but for the price you pay they're solid eats. The location is like a retro throwback drive in style. You pull up in your car next to a menu and press a button on it to order. It's a fun change of pace from your typical eateries. Especially on a nice 70 degree day. There's not much to look at nor do they have music playing but it doesn't matter. Worth a stop! read more

I've been wanting to actually go to a Dog-N-Suds drive in for awhile. I've drunk their bottled root beer a lot for a good portion of my life now and it's one of my favorites. So when we were visiting Lafayette, Indiana at Purdue for UC/Purdue game I saw we were close to one and we had to go try it. It's actually still an old school drive in. We pulled up, read the menu. Hit a button on the speaker, a girl took our order. Then she ran out on a tray, asked me to roll my window down a decent amount and stuck the tray with all our yummy food on it on my window. We ordered a Coney Dog basket and two super Root Beer Floats. Easily the best Root Beer Floats we've ever had. Big frosted mugs. Pure perfection. The Coney was super good too. I actually liked the chili on the Coney a lot. The crinkle fries that came with the basket were typical crinkle fries. They weren't bad at all they just...were crinkle fries. We flipped the switch on the speaker and the girl came back out and got our tray. Then we headed back to Cincy with some delicious food in our stomachs. Next time we're back I'll defiantly be stopping back and hitting up Dog-N-Suds again. read more

Not bad considering the COVID rules. Food was quick, they got it right and gave us an extra sandwich (BONUS). We were disappointed we didn't get our frozen mug root beers and couldn't eat in our cars and had to leave. But we understand the precautions and are just thankful they were still serving food and the same quality we have grown to love! read more

Cash ONLY! Which is so lame. Gotta have a coney cheese dog basket and their awesome root beer! read more

First time here and it was fast and really good! Only complaint is that the root beer had almost no carbonation which was a bummer but still had good flavor. The burgers and hot dogs are simple which makes them delicious. Will definitely come back! read more

My first driving experience ever was in the west suburbs of Illinois I was probably seven years old and was fantastic since then no root beer has never matched what dog and suds can provide. always five stars! I need to order it in the iced mug, so do not get it to go . Coney dogs are excellent, they have sort of a chili sauce flavor to them and can't be beat, burgers are good, hotdogs are good, this place is from the past and as I've stated many times I love old Americana how can you beat a drive in? This was a happy find! read more

If you haven't had Dog N Suds before you are truly missing out. In high school and a couple years of college I worked at Dog N Suds, I would still eat here every day if I could I think that says a lot since I worked here and would still eat here. Every time I go back to Lafayette I make sure I stop at Dog N Suds. You have to try a root beer in a mug, make sure to order a Large to get the mug. You can also get baby root beers in a mug too! I would suggest a foot long coney cheese dog, I like to add onions and mustard to mine. Their shrimp basket is delicious. I also enjoy the coney cheese burger. If you get fries or onion rings make sure you ask for the special sauce, it's a mix of mayo and mustard and is sweet and delicious! If you like ice cream you can't go wrong with a root beer float or a freeze, the only difference is they blend the root beer float for a freeze. I love Dog N Suds and will always be a fan! read more

My family lives close to this restaurant, so we decided to take a trip in and eat under the outside pavilion. It took 8 minutes from the time we pressed the button for orders to get someone to take our order which was not impressive. We got foot longs with coney sauce which were good, but the shrimp basket is nothing but frozen shrimp from Sam's club ( tasting) and then dumped in a basket with mediocre coleslaw. Our food while good, was not good enough to warrant another trip anytime soon. Especially if you are ordering outside. read more

This is a great place to get a classic American meal. The food is great and the prices are better!

How I miss the smell of chili dogs hitting my face as I roll down the window. It tickles my nostalgic senses when I'm back in my old stomping grounds to make a sentimental stop at my favorite drive-in. I just press the little red button, and get ready to be served. My D&S Checklist: - Start off by ordering some D&S famous root beer in a frosty glass. The stuff that makes you go "Ah!" after taking a big swig. - Drink it. - Order another one to-go. - Next, order a footlong coney dog and a tenderloin sandwich. Nothing says "Indiana girl" like a good breaded tenderloin. - Eat it. - Now, sit back, relax and order a root beer float. - Devour it while enjoying to some classic rock radio. I'm so sad that there isn't a Dog N' Suds in Indy. There are days I'm half tempted to make the 45 minute drive to get a $3 hotdog. Yes, THAT good. read more

The only thing better than the original in Lafayette is the fact that they opened up a second in West Lafayette! How great is that!? Same great food as the first, with additional location to pull in the west side crowd. read more

Dog-n-Suds is fun for the retro gimmick. Unfortunately the food is cafeteria grade. Competing burger joints are drastically better in quality. read more

It's a drive-in, which is rare enough in this day. But somehow it fits perfectly with the whole retro vibe I'm finding in Indiana. Or is it that this state refuses to leave the mid-20th century? I JEST! (maybe?) Anyway, the root beer is house-made, and really is the whole raison d'etre for this place. And you don't have to eat in your car (something which never appealed to me), as they have a nice covered picnic-table area to enjoy your burger/chicken/dog basket al fresco. Frosted mugs for all, including the 15 cent Baby Mug! Whattadeal! (as long as you bring cash.) (Yipes - can I get any more parenthetical?) read more

They have some of the best root beer that I have ever had in my life. Gotta get it in a frosted mug. As for the rest of the food it's about average for a hot dog and burger joint. I usually get a footlong cheese coney...it goes great with that awesome root beer. read more

I like the setup outside. The picnic area is pretty clean. The other customers were very friendly. I ordered the boilermaker burger and a root beer float. The food was hot and delicious. This was my first time in West Lafayette and Dog N Suds helped make my experience pleasant. read more

Pros: Has that retro, mom n' pop drive-in feel, if you're into that kind of thing. Also has a picnic area for takeout or eating outside on a nice day. Staff is friendly. Good value for hot dogs, coneys, chicken strips, etc. Cons: Some menu items are disappointing even by the standards of cheap fast food. Breaded mushrooms should just be called breaded breading -- I would have no idea what it was supposed to be if I hadn't ordered it. The French fries are awful: soggy, flavorless food service crinkle cuts that may or may not be served at room temperature. It's hard to give a glowing review to a fast food place that can't get French fries right. read more

You just can't beat the coney cheese dogs- a forever classic! And that ice-cold root beer........

Love me some dog n suds. Never going wrong with a classic footlong coney dog with cheese, fries and a mug of Root beer. read more

I grew up in Lafayette. The Dog and Suds was a favorite place to go in the 50s. Isn't it great how some things stay the same. Thanks for preserving a piece of history. My dad was the chef of Sarge Biltz Restaurant for more than 30 years, but he loved to stop at the Dog & Suds. Virginia Booher Carpenter Port Byron, IL read more

Ummm... Boilermaker Basket (with onion rings instead of fries) + large Rootbeer in a frosted mug. Done. Seriously. We used to call Dog 'n' Suds by its affectionate Arf 'n' Barf nickname back in high school... but it truly is a Lafayette classic, and I am glad it has survived the test of time. I love the West side location, too. Less busy and friendly staff. Thanks for always being there when we're back in town! read more

This place is a true Lafayette classic. You must try a chili dog! The sauce has a light sweetness to it. It reminds me of a sloppy joe. It's so good! The burgers are also great and fresh tasting. Love the onion rings as they are REAL! If you haven't made a trip this summer, stop in for great food. read more

Stopped for a Root Beer, why else do you go to Dog-N-Suds? The food was as expected from a national chain, the service here was fast and it was fun to eat at the picnic roofed picnic area so we didn't have to sit in the car. I'd go again when I'm in the area and want another Root Beer! read more

This place is pretty cool. It's like a Sonic drive-in but better. For the longest time, they didn't accept credit cards so I didn't eat there that often. The hot dogs are pretty good and so are the sandwiches. However, the must get item is the root beer float. This thing was great. The root beer alone was pretty dang good, but adding their ice cream to it made it delicious. The prices are fairly reasonable and the service has always been good. Furthermore, I have never had an issue with any of the items I've ordered. I would highly recommend coming here on a nice summer evening and enjoying a quick dinner with a root beer float to top it off. read more

There are few things from my childhood I remember as vividly as the Dog n Suds. To me, nothing about the place has changed. The coney dogs are my favorite, something that I've carried with me from childhood. The root beer is something I still can't get enough of; it has just the right amount of vanilla taste in it (although the diet does leave a funny aftertaste for some reason). Even if I no longer eat beef and pork, I still can't stay away from this local staple. The fries and onion rings are great, and who can resist an amazing root beer float? The service is prompt and you can't beat it as far as cost is concerned. read more

Great customer service! Food is always hot and fresh. Coney dog with mustard and onion with a root beer freeze is king!

Nothing beats a Dog N' Suds footlong hot dog basket (with those perfect fries and cole slaw) with a mug root beer. NOTHING!

I love dog n suds! It's the best place to grab a great coney dog, a burger or a root beer float. I have never had a bad thing on the menu!!!

Great on a sunny day. Good even on a rainy day. Carports are covered and if they're full, there's a covered seating area outside. Nice menu variety. In a land dominated by skinny crispy french fries, I found a place where I can get crinkle fries! +1! Locally owned. Their "Boilermaker" burger is delish. Root beer served in frosted heavy glass mugs. Nice! Convenient location in WLaf. A co-worker of mine swears by their breaded pork loin sandwich. read more
