    Penny held up to paper thin "tenderloin"
    T S.

    Worst food I have ever eaten in Peru, IN. Got the tenderloin platter which comes with tenderloin sandwich, krinkle fries and slaw. The actual tenderloin was very thin and was almost all breading (no kidding the meat was as thin as the thickness of a penny). The fries were soggy, undercooked and cold in the center. The slaw was good. Had to ask for ketchup (server didn't bring any) and had to ask for our drinks (server forgot them). Seriously this was bad and I will not be back. Plenty of other places to eat with better food.

    Just a classic drive-in restaurant with concession level food but a great name and old school feel. The prices can't be beat and they even have "It's Mr. Weenie Time" shirts and boxers for sale. Definitely worth the stop if you're in the area.

    Pretty darn good weenies. Their Chicago dog was very authentic first time I tried it--today just a bit off. Onions in chunks--a piece of cabbage in a chunk in the Cole slaw. Service seems a bit hit or miss also. But the food is cheap, and good, and you're at a drive in!! Excellent crinkle fries too.

    I had been looking forward to trying Mr. Weenie ever since I first saw it as I rode past while out on other errands several times. Sadly, it was nothing like what I expected. Pulling in, the grounds appeared to be quite clean. The area underneath the awning was shady and looked like it would be a comfortable place to sit. We chose to remain in our vehicle and turned on our headlights for curbside service after briefly looking over the menu. They had a few exotic sounding items such as a hot dog whose name made me think it must have come with pineapple on it. A carhop waitress came over right away. She wasn't rude but was a bit curt. The server quickly took down our order and asked for my credit card before she had even put in the order. I thought that was a bit backwards, and it had me wondering whether they have had problems with patrons taking off without paying. It felt odd to be asked to pay and tip before knowing fully what the service was like. The menu items were inexpensive, but we soon realized why. The portions were pretty small. Our breaded mushroom order only came with a small handful of se en of them. No dipping sauce or condiments of any kind were offered. Neither were napkins. The cheese fries were frozen crinkle cuts that did not taste like they had been cooked all the way through. The cheese seemed to be nothing more than melted American. My friend's root beer float was good, apparently, except for being served in styrofoam instead of a glass mug. I chose to get a small cream soda. I received RED cream soda though, which was okay, but it wasn't what I expected. It was indeed small, and the cup mostly consisted of crushed ice. And, it too, was served in styrofoam. No one asked if we wanted anything else, and a different, friendlier girl collected our tray. Never saw the waitress I tipped again. I've heard that Mr. Weenie has a pretty good tenderloin, but going by what we had, I'd say the food was less than "meh." I'm glad I didn't opt to get a t-shirt or one of their other items on sale when we pulled in because I just can't see being a walking advertisement for them. I don't see any reason to return. Which is a shame because I'm told they are open year-round. Even though it's pricier and closed now until Spring, I would much rather visit B&K in Rochester again. This experience was just another reason to stay out of Peru. With so few options in town, it sucks that this couldn't have been a better choice for a midday snack attack.

    For the past 26 years of my life, I've had plenty of hot dogs, seen many small Indiana towns, but no hot dog shop matches my experience at Mr. Weenie. The restaurant sign is a weenie with a hat and bow tie. It's one of those drive-up gigs with the menu in view when you park, ladies and teenage girls take your order, and they bring out the food good and hot right to your car. They have every kind of dog imaginable from corn and Spanish dogs to Wrigley and Chicago-style dogs, and everything you'd ever want fried on the side. Mr. Weenie does stay busy, because even at 2:30 PM they were crowded. Experience Mr. Weenie for yourself in friendly Peru Indiana, which is right next to Mexico, and happens to be the circus capital of the USA. YUM!!

    Ok, seriously, you have to stop for the personality of the place if nothing else! It's a throwback divey drive-in that has a large selection of, you guessed it, weenies. I really do like the spanish dogs and the spanish cheese fries. They have tenderloins and fried sides such as onion rings, mushrooms, cauliflower, and hold onto your weenies, gizzards. Yes, if you are so inclined, fried gizzards. After you eat and take pictures of the giant Mr. Weenie marquee, step inside and buy yourself the near impossible to resist souvenir "It's Mr. Weenie Time" t-shirt. I kid you not!

    Always good for take out. We usually get the tenderloin basket. Service is fast. Food is ok. Always nice to leave the high school girls a tip. Wish they stay open later longer hours

    Coleslaw is wonderful and made fresh there. Also they have the good ice. This is important to some people.

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!
