    The best Onion Rings
    Aimee B.

    Food: great price for what you get. My peanut butter banana shake was delicious. My son loved his root beer float. Apparently they make their own root beer. Onion rings were light and crispy. Not too much batter which made them easy to eat and not feel full. We got the chicken tenders, hamburger and cheese burger kids meal. All yummy. We will most definitely be back to try more of the big menu. Service was quick, friendly and everything you'd want. Ambiance: place is older/run down but that really just adds to the character. It's been around for a while so it was to be expected. Can't wait to come back and try their desserts and other shake flavors .

    I love that this place still has your order taken and brought out to the car window! You can't go wrong with a tasty cheeseburger and French fries or onion rings! Root Beer is a must! The tenderloin is one of my favorites!

    Everyone talks about the drive-in, but don't miss the pizza shop in the back! (The pizza shop is carry-out only.) I'm usually not a huge fan of pizza, but I'll eat this one EVERY chance I get! Their pizza is consistently excellent- nice, slight crisp to the crust, great cheese, a nice sauce, plenty of toppings... I'm salivating just thinking of it. My family has been getting pizza here since I was a kid (about 45 years ago)!

    Long time old fashion car hop!!! Food is good...they have a full menu with all sorts of things, we ordered double cheeseburger, chili cheese dogs and onion rings and mugs of homemade root beer!!! Service was great and atmosphere is awesome..definitely family and pet friendly. They have a nice covered area with tables to eat and you can also just pull up and someone will come and take your order. Also a walk in restaurant next door!! Give them a try...we definitely will be going back to try other menu items.

    Root beer float please!

    I pulled up and received service right at my car door window. I ordered root beer floats, onion rings, and French fries! I didn't wait very long to receive my food once I placed my order. Onions rings were hot and crispy, on the larger side (definitely shareable). The root beer float was deliciously sweet and creamy! The root-beer was one of the best I've had so good!

    The chili cheese dog with onions and fries is delicious.

    Mug n Bun is a Westside staple after 50 years and loved by many with a steady following. Unfortunately, it is currently for sale and some uncertainty for the future for us who visit often. Our go-to's are the chili dogs and family size French fries. My son loves the breaded tenderloin with everything on it. The milk shakes are good, and I order the peanut butter. The shrimp, chicken, and catfish dinners are very popular. The Italian Sausage and Polish Sausage are decent, and the Sirloin Steak Hoagie is hit and miss. Sometimes it is very tender and next time tough. There is outdoor seating on the deck with indoor seating at the Mug n Bun house next to the parking lot. They are open year round. Mug n Bun Pizza is located at the back of the parking lot. Pizzas are CARRY OUT ONLY. They are very popular with patrons. Pizzas are obviously offered as well as subs, fried chicken, pork chops dinners, and chicken dinners along with family dinners. Family dinners include potatoes, slaw, and rolls. After 54 years, they must be doing something right! Whether you carry out, sit in your car to eat, sit on the deck, or go indoors, it will trigger those nostalgia days of car hops and drive-ins. Stop in and take advantage of Mun n Bun in case they disappear from Speedway soon.

    I have not been to this place in years. I was in the area and was trying out where to grap lunch. I know it was sold a couple of years back, but food is still the same. I pulled right in, and the server came out and handed us a menu. I ordered the double hamburger without cheese, seasoned fries, and a chocolate milkshake. Food is made fresh and came out HOT!. The hamburger was on bun, but a slice a white bread was placed on top of the bottom bun. I thought it was weird and too much bread. The fries were good but overly seasoned. Chocolate milk was delicious. We decided to eat there because the weather was so nice. Our server was semi attentive, but it became busy, so I can understand a bit. The building itself could use some updating, and it's still easy to find a spot to pull up in. Definitely will be back to try other things since they are open year round. It is important to note the servers take cash tips only, venmo, or cash app. It's plastered everywhere.

    Friends invited us here and we had never even heard of the place, but it appears to be a West Side, Indianapolis staple. It is pretty close to the Indianapolis Speedway so I think if you frequent the area you know of this spot. They have the old school drive up and order from your car theme going on but also they have an outside seating area where you can hang out as well. They have a few that are covered and some that aren't. There is plenty of parking as well. The service wasn't the best, however not totally shocking considering it is really a dive bar. There were just 2 people working and they were pretty swamped but what I liked is that they were really trying. Like they would run over to a table and let them know they would be right with them. Some places they just move slow like they have no urgency but this place they really did. They were doing the best they could do. They have a HUGE menu with lots of random things but I think their claim to fame is root beer so you gotta order that at least once. They do have diet too. I had a veggie burger which was pretty good. Others at the table had the chili dog which looked amazing, hamburgers, fish and fries. The prices are quite reasonable we had all sorts of food and spent less than $50.

    You don't realize how good something is until you move an hour away and go back. The root beer alone is worth the drive. So creamy and smooth. I love the breaded tenderloin! The prices on the menu are super reasonable! Like multiple reviews have said, make sure to bring cash to tip the servers. I was unaware, but thankfully had some cash.

    Ask the Community - Mug n Bun

    I'm just wondering why they don't do card tip for the servers? I always feel real bad because I don't carry cash with me everytime I go to mug n bun. I understand that it's an old fashion drive in but the servers deserve every opportunity for a tip.

    I would assume that this is because of the high transaction costs of credit card machines and the % that the credit card company takes. I did however see today that they are taking zelle, Venmo, and cash app for tips as well as cash.

    Is there actually a differences between the superburger and the double cheeseburger?

    The Super has Bacon.

I drove by here all the time and then heard it was featured on Diners, Drive-In's, and Dives. I had been curious to try it out for a while now and I finally logged a couple visits. At the moment, they're only open for the drive through and curbside pickup while they're under construction to introduce indoor seating. I suppose I'll have to visit again to be able to rate the ambiance. I've had friendly interactions with both times I came. One time, I had the food brought out to my car, while the other time I had to drive back around to pick up my order. Both times, I got the empanada combo and that was well worth it! For $17 you get three empanadas, some churros and Dulce de leche, and house made kettle chips. I'll rank my favorite empanadas in order: Oreo cheesecake (oh yeah, you read that right!) Birria Argentine chorizo Creamy chicken S'mores Cheesy pineapple bacon These are all great. This was a hard list to make. I would definitely recommend all of them if you have the chance to order more. I also want to try all the empanadas on their menu eventually. The kettle chips are on the less salty side, which I prefer. I think they have a hint of sweetness to them. The churros... on their own they're pretty decent but the Dulce included? Next level. I always save my leftover Dulce to find something else to dip in it. How I have leftover is beyond me but I won't complain! Overall, I think Che Chori has a pretty expansive menu, considering that empanadas, burgers, and pizza are very different things. I'm not sure how the others stack up, but I will definitely be back for the rest of the empanadas!

I understand Portillo's is one of those fast food joints anyone is magnetized too be it for a birthday cake shake, Italian beef or even a Chicago dog. We weren't looked specifically for a Portillo's but since one just happened to pop up while driving through Avon we said sure, why not! This location is just like all the other ones. Super consistent with the general feel and the staff also did a great job welcoming us there. After grabbing an Italian beef to take a trip down memory lane, it was devoured quickly while enjoying a soda and fries. Highly recommend this location. Whether going through the drive thru or eating there the food will leave you happy.

Every once and a while I do get a craving for one and then I stop by their Avon location. Most often I just get a Chicago dog at the drive through, which can be a weird experience. Often folks stand out there and take your card, no cash, put a sticker on your rear view mirror and then you get to drive up to the window to claim your food. A little while ago I met a friend there for dinner. There were lines waiting in front of those kiosks to order... I hate those things. Went around all those folks and stepped up to the counter, was taken care off immediately and received my food before half of the kiosk users were even done ordering. I do have to say service was friendly and efficient.
