Good food, good atmosphere, good service! Near Lake Manitou in the picturesque town of Rochester, Indiana.

Long wait rather gone to dairy queen it took about an hour the time for this place is almost over

Watched 2 people arrive after me and get waited on first. That's fine, whatever. I placed a to-go order. Waited for over 15 minutes for 3 corn dogs, an order of fries, 2 Spanish hot dogs, and a drink. Took my food and left. Upon arriving home, we found no hot dogs. I called. The manager, owner, someone important, told me they would take my name and I could get them next time. I asked what else they would do for me. She got very defensive, instantly, and told me they do nothing else, I was lucky she was even gonna "replace" them when I come back. Said she didn't even have to do that. Ummmm, yes, I paid for them. And gave a tip!! The service, management, and all-over appeal of this place has rapidly declined this year alone. Don't waste your money!!! read more

My first trip to B&K since sometime in the '80s. I didn't think there was any way it could live up to my memories but I was wrong. The Spanish Dogs are still delicious (glad I don't eat what Terry S eats so I can't really compare there) and B&K rootbeer is still the only rootbeer I like. The service was as awesome as the food! I won't wait as long for the next trip :) read more

ordered a pizza burger and bit into it when i got home and it was very undercooked. pretty much still raw. never ordered food before only ice cream so now I'm a bit skeptical to do that again. read more

I love the root beer The waitress was fast and friendly! Ambiance? What can I say??? It's a drive in lol read more

I had the BLT which was decent, but the portion was small. This alone would not be enough for a meal. The bacon and cheese fries were alright, I liked how the fries were crispy, but the cheese was meh and I was disappointed that they used fake bacon. There is limited outdoor seating and lots of parking spots, but there are only 15 or so spots in the shade. I was here on a Tuesday at lunch time and had no issues with finding a spot in the shade, but service was very slow since there was only one person working. Also note that they charge 50 cents for paying with a card. Overall it's an alright place if you're looking for fast food, but service might be slow. read more

This was our first visit at this drive in. Did not disappoint us. Hand breaded tenderloin was awesome, according to my husband. I had the breaded cheeseburger, which was very good. Living in that area years ago, you can only find breaded cheeseburgers. Root beer does not come in mugs, but was still good prices were very reasonable. Service was top notch. Hope to return if we are in that area again before you close for the season. We live in Michigan. Fred & Marge read more

I was riding around Rochester a few days ago, and when we passed B&K, we decided to stop for a spell. It wasn't super busy but business seemed steady for being an early weekday afternoon. Some of the customers appeared to be on lunch in their work trucks. Others were lone couples and mothers with kids. B&K had some shaded outdoor booth tables as well as a couple of tables in the sun with folded umbrellas. We, like most present, stayed in the car. After looking over the pretty extensive menu, we pushed the speaker button to place our order. Since our speaker wasn't working its best, they sent a carhop out. I almost never have pop anymore for the past decade, but I could not pass up getting the Green River I saw on the menu. I'd not seen that outside of the Chicago area before, and it had been years since I had one. Made me happy as a kid again for a while. My friend had a butterscotch milkshake. It was delicious. The large Green River was close to $3. It was in a 32 oz styrofoam cup with a cool and very wide neon green straw. I'd probably go medium in the future. The shake wasn't as big and was nearly $4 but seemed worth it. We shared the veggie basket which consisted of breaded cauliflower, breaded mushrooms, and two breaded cheese sticks. Our waitress brought out a cup of mustard for me and a cup of ranch for my friend. The cauliflower was really good, as were the cheese sticks which were sturdy, loaded with thick cheese and heavy for their size. My favorite were the mushrooms which were sliced and breaded. I'd not had them that way before, but it really worked! No biting into a whole mushroom that would burst and burn you. Everything in the basket was crisp and not soggy. Definitely made in house. The size made it a perfect snack for two. And it cost $4.99. Our snack and drinks cost close to $13 not including tip. I was a bit disappointed later to see on the receipt they charge $0.50 if you use a card to pay. We'd been asked if we were doing cash or card but no mention of a charge was explained. I think its kind of crappy to pass that cost onto the customer myself. Everything was really good, but it's on the pricey side. Some items are better deals than others. (I saw six Coney dogs for ten bucks, for example.) I liked the atmosphere under the awning complete with yellow fluorescent lights running across. Another building out back also said "B&K" on it, but I'm not sure what that is utilized for. The restroom is a tiny closet just inside a back door near the kitchen. It was a bit awkward going in, as it felt like I was in an employee only area, but I'm glad the facility was available. It was cluttered and covered with Route 66 decor and seemed decently clean. FYI, no wheelchairs are fitting in here. I am told B&K is only open during the Summer season. It has a huge menu which includes hand dipped ice cream and sounds far better than going to DQ down the street. It is closely located to a public beach/park area, and I'm sure it's hopping on hot Summer nights. Service wasn't bad but not stellar. The food was fantastic. I'd go four stars for the food and availability of Green River, though I lean towards three because of the credit card fee that wasn't disclosed. And, not to toot my own horn, but I tip well, so the hidden fifty cent charge ticked me off. The food and drinks are mainly why I would return. And a tip to you: You might need reading glasses to see the menu. read more

Y'all's Spanish sauce tastes like my grandmothers asshole. Y'all decide if it's a good thing or a bad thing

B & K always meets expectations! I don't have any kind of constructive criticism for this place at all. Staff is always o friendly and food is always top notch! read more

Dropped by this place when in town to buy a car. This is a classic drive-in with the real deal vintage ordering menu/speaker. We all got a cheeseburger. I got a double. We all got root beers. These were the greasiest, fat, nasty, dripping mess delicious burgers I've had out on a while! They didn't taste like standard frozen Sysco patties or any premade burger. They might have been, but I don't think so and they didn't taste like it. Very flavorful meat and seasoned well. The root beer was really really good too. They come in a frosty mug. My personal complaint that has nothing to do with anything the restaurant did wrong, was that while I love the frosty mug...when everyone is ready to leave, we either had to chug it or leave it and not enjoying the root beer is a great disservice to this wonderful root beer! I would absolutely make a trip all the way from Indy to have this place again. read more

Back in the day, this used to be an A&W drive in. Over the years it morphed into a B&K, but the fact remains that you can still get some good coney cheese dogs, coney cheese fries, and some good root beer in a mug. It's quite a big menu for a drive in. A lot of the fried items are hard to resist: onion rings, mushrooms, zuccini, etc. read more

Great old fashion bell hop service. Great food but a little salty for me. You can order a gallon of root beer here. Don't like their fried mushrooms here. They are sliced and little flavor. Kids meals are good and so is their ice cream. Not a lot of these places left so worth going if for only that. read more

Relatively quick, relatively standard food. However, the onion rings are a very good side, with the fries coming in at a close second. Also, get the rootbeer! It's wonderful! read more

Had a phenomenal dinner here, as per usual. We drive down a couple times a year and are never disappointed. They are opened on Sundays by the way! read more

Good food at a decent price but with health conscience people, nutrition info would be appreciated!
