    This is my favorite breakfast spot when I visit my son. I loved the breakfast skillet, I could customize and have potatoes, sausage tomatoes and eggs the way I liked. Fair priced and good coffee!

    1.8 Overall I have had B&N recommended one time since being in Lafayette. Decided to try it why I was waiting on my vehicle to be serviced across the street. The food was all cooked fine, served hot. The coffee was likely the best part aside from a very sweet server. The omelette was the whipped fluffy style, I prefer old fashioned folded omelette. The ingredients were just laid in the center and not incorporated at all into the eggs. The potatoes were well cooked but bland, gravy was void of any flavor and biscuit seemed to be from the previous day and warmed on the griddle, very dense and unremarkable. The whole breakfast was unremarkable to be honest. It was good to finally try it but I don't believe I'll go back. To many other options that are far better.

    Friendly environment and good food. The way a diner should be. Big portions. Reasonable prices. Clean restaurant. Excellent biscuits and gravy. Delicious tenderloins. Attentive service. I like that there are regulars who sit around and solve the world's problems with friendly banter. My iced tea never reaches the bottom before it is refilled. Maggie is an amazing waitress. This is the kind of place you rush by without thinking about but for the price of the sack of fast food breakfast at your side, you will have a better meal and a warm feeling if you stop here instead. My wife likes black coffee. She's never disappointed. Cash only but there is an ATM on hand if you forget. Worth the stop.

    This spot exceeded every expectation. The exterior seems small, however the inside feels quite spacious with lots of tables. The portions are huge and the food is good quality, all at a decent price. Our waitress, Corey, was super sweet and refilled our coffee at least 5 times. We will be visiting again!

    Stopped in here on a cold and rainy Saturday afternoon and all I can say is this place is a treasure! I'm a new Midwesterner and after I got over my Culture shock of no sweet tea (listen folks, cold tea and adding sugar on the table isn't the same... just make some sweet tea!) I dove head first into what is my new favorite thing in the world. The breaded tenderloin sandwich! And this place has a freakin' good one! First of all, I got the small one, but it was still the size of my head, and I got a HUGE head! I can't imagine who could eat the big one, but I wanna party with those people! Crinkle cut fries, good coffee, and the best thing... the owner was a cool cat, service was good, food was great... like I said. I can live without the sweet tea for a home run place like this! Bring cash, no plastic here, which is cool. They have an ATM and the few is only a buck so they get it... I don't mind helping a little local place like this hide some cash from the man! I had to learn proper etiquette for eating a tenderloin sandwich, I chose the "cut and stack" method... lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle and Mayo. I couldn't finish it, and I'm a lumberjack grizzly bear wrassler type of dude. Come here, give em your money, the prices are cheap, but the food is a gold mine!

    Ordered this place from uber eats, it came fast but at a price. The food was i kid you not dripping wet and had a very whacky odor.

    The attitudes of the employees. The older cook has a very bad attitude. They don't list when you order. I got the wrong order.

    Breakfast all day! Usually, this feature at a restaurant is lost on me, because I don't care for a…read morebig breakfast as my first meal of the day, or really, any time of the day. But I was visiting West Lafayette, and it was morning, and I was feeling a little "under the weather," as my Polish grandmother would say when she went too hard on the Bud Lites the night before. So breakfast at Triple XXX it was, because I could walk there from the Purdue campus, and this restaurant is a West Lafayette institution. I got the Triple XXX Breakfast Special: two over-medium eggs, bacon, fried potatoes and wheat toast. And it was good, you know? It was simple and hearty. I especially liked the fried potatoes. But what really took it over the top is when my server, who was incredibly friendly, told me that she could bring me some root beer jelly to go along with my wheat toast. Record scratch. Say what, lady? Root beer jelly? Yes, Triple XXX makes their own root beer jelly, and they also sell it by the jar. (I bought a jar.) They are famous for their root beer, which is sold nationwide, so I guess it makes sense that they would also make root beer jelly. It tastes exactly the way you would think it would. It tastes like root beer! It's delicious. The seating at this restaurant is interesting: All of the seats are bar seats, and they face the middle of the kitchen. There were no tables or booths that I saw, unless you wanted to go outside and sit at one of the picnic tables on the patio. I liked this seating setup, because I could watch the action happen before my very eyes. The black coffee was very good. It better be, at a place like this! This is the kind of greasy spoon restaurant where old timers stay a while with a cup of coffee and a newspaper. (There were three such people doing something like that when I visited, as a matter of fact.) It's just a comfortable part of the West Lafayette community.

I ordered a double cheeseburger with just ketchup to taste the burger alone. My wife ordered the peanut butter burger, and we ordered curly fries to share. My burger was great, the flavor and quality of the fresh ground steak makes a big difference in the flavor being so good. My wife is a fan of the peanut butter on the burger, and we both like the bun used. We both got root beer, which is a step above all other root beers I have tasted, which also probably has to do with quality ingredients. I am a fan of Triple XXX, and so is my wife. We will be back to try out the other menu items and breakfast!

The biscuits and gravy are some of the best I've had...light, fluffy, and melt in your mouth. Gravy could be a little more peppery but you can add more if that's your thing. We went on a Sunday about 12:30 and it wasn't busy. The waitstaff was very friendly and the food came out quick. It's out of the way and hidden but certainly worth finding! Will be back in future visits to Lafayette!

    I had the misfortune of experiencing the worst breakfast in years at this establishment. I ordered…read morea ham and Swiss omelette, specifically requesting that my eggs not be brown. To my dismay, they arrived completely overcooked and unappetizingly brown. To add insult to injury, my toast was burnt to a crisp, nearly charred to a shadow of what it should have been. When I pointed this out to the waitress, her nonchalant response was, "It's kind of burnt," as if there are acceptable levels of burn. In my opinion, when the toast is predominantly black, it clearly falls into the category of "burnt." The overall quality of the meal was abysmal, and it was evident that the staff couldn't have cared less about my experience. While I was not charged for the meal, I wouldn't have paid for it even if I had to. There's simply no way I could bring myself to eat here again. Curiously, my husband ordered a similar omelette, but his came out perfectly yellow and appetizing, along with toast that was actually edible. This made me wonder if my request not to burn my food inadvertently insulted the cook, leading to my meal being intentionally scorched. After sending the dish back, I received not a word of apology or even an offer to prepare something else. It was a complete lack of customer service. This review, without a doubt, has to be the most negative I've ever written. Normally, I refrain from posting bad reviews because I understand that everyone can have an off day. If a restaurant attempts to rectify their mistakes, I tend to be forgiving. But in this case, the food was nothing short of garbage on a plate, and the indifference from the staff was glaring.
