    Ice cold BK Root Beer

    Good food, convenient location and awesome staff. BK is a longtime, popular drive-in eatery with a good selection of quality food and beverages. Locals can't wait for BK to open each year, which 'officially' marks the beginning of Spring.

    The service is fast. The people are friendly. The food is delicious! What more could you ask for? The atmosphere is a fun drive in setting. You can stay in your car, dine on the patio, or eat inside. There's a walk up window for walk up guest. They are located near the Piqua skate park and pool. I remember spending all day at the pool and running over with my friends to get a Spanish hot dog during the adult swim time. This food taste like childhood memories and I love it! My husband, who isn't from Piqua, enjoyed a jalapeño dog, which is also my dads favorite. My boys had there first Spanish hot dog and they lived it! We now live in Toledo and BK Rootbeer stand is a must when we come home to visit in the summer. Thank you for serving good food in a family friendly atmosphere with a smile.

    I have been obsessed with the place since I was a kid. Every non-local I've introduced to it has loved it and found reasons to trek to Piqua for this place. Sitting and eating in the car with carhop service is a fun experience. "Spanish Dogs" are similar to a Coney Dog, but the "sauce" is basically Sloppy Joe - which is delicious. Really good with cheese, and you can get just the Sloppy-Joe-like sauce on a bun as a "Mexiburger." Love the crinkle fries with that thin vinegar-y ketchup; a jumbo order easily feeds 2 people. Shredded chicken and walking tacos are also super popular in my family. The root beer is delicious. When these guys close for winter, it's a sad, sad day. When they reopen for spring, we flock there.

    It's a root beer stand. They have root beer, dogs, burgers, etc. All of it was solid root beer stand food. I would go back.

    I love their Spanish dogs w/onion and fries. It takes a while sometimes but it is worth the wait. The help is always nice and helpful.

    We visited on a Friday evening around 7:30pm for perspective. Just the two of us for a late dinner…read more The restaurant wasn't busy, but a modest number of patrons were inside. Upon check in, the hostess informed me it would be about a 20 min wait. No big deal. Within 15 mins or less I'd say our pager went off and we were shown our table. 2. Food * Starter: Mozzarella sticks * Entree: Ribeye (advertised as house special) * Entree: Filet Mignon * Sides: Fries, Baked Potato and included salad bar Starter was above average, hot and freshly made, good structure. Mozzarella sticks seem hard to mess up but honestly, it happens. Our server did mention that marinara was unavailable (not sure if that day or in general) Ribeye: Ordered medium rare, came out medium to medium well. Taste was mediocre at best, more grill grate less ribeye flavor. Out of 10, I would say 4/10. Filet Mignon: Expectations were high but a huge miss. Ordered medium, came medium. Flavor was far below expectations for this cut of meat. My wife described this as "dog food flavor." For the price ($39) this was disappointing. Sides: Sides were average. Fries were pretty standard, comparable to frozen fries that you'd throw in your air fryer at home. Baked potato was good (thankfully). Salad bar is included with dinner. Basic green mix with a basic offering of toppings. I would say everything was replenished when needed. 3. Service * Staff was average to friendly, from hostess to server. Average attentiveness and came to the table probably 3-4 times during service. One item to note: kitchen window/bar prep area is very close to salad bar. While at the salad bar, a group of servers were all chatting and talking about the customers they had currently or earlier in the shift. One server had a table she strongly disliked, and had no problem making that known amongst her peers. I understand back of house conversations happen, but in close proximity to customers seemed in poor taste. I left wondering what was being said if anything about us after we departed. TL;DR: if you're gonna talk shit about customers, try not to do it around your current ones. 4. Atmosphere * The location is wonderful. Quiet country charm with a distant scenic overlook of the spillway itself. It's a beautiful spot and the grounds are well maintained. Other reviews mentioned the interior as dated, my impression was it's very old style steakhouse/lodge inspired. It could use some updates sure, but I didn't think it was the focus of the night. 5. Overall value * Was it worth the price? No. One starter, two entrees and one domestic beer brought the bill to $97 before tip. A decent meal can be had for less with far superior food. I think the impression I walked away with is that this place has so much potential, and may have been great at one time but standards have since slipped. The location and feel was great, but the reason people come and want to come back is the food, and that left much to be desired. 6. Recommendation * Would you return? Likely no, this was a one and done in my book. Unless something changed and they revitalized their menu and or kitchen strategy. I never say never, but we left feeling mildly satisfied with about $100 less than we walked in with.

    The food was pretty good. The appetizer ordered was the P.O.P. In this was potato skins, jalapeño…read morepoppers amd onion rings. We absolutely enjoyed this. For our main food was the New York steak and shrimp with mozzarella garlic mushrooms which was really good. We asked for a medium cook on it and it was more on the rare side. The shrimp was cooked very well and seasoned nicely. Also ordered was shrimp Alfredo. The sauce was nice and not too thin, the shrimp was still a good size and nice to bite into. Then ordered was the seafood platter. The crab cake was nice, the clams, shrimps and fish was nicely cooked and seasoned. Our waitress was very nice. The atmosphere felt very homey. It is on the pricey side to eat here. But we will be back to try other things.

In my last review of this place, I was wildly unhappy with the engineering of the restrooms because of its implications for child safety. They have gone to very strong lengths to substantially, engage and resolve all of my issues. I would not be afraid at all that if my kids went into the bathroom, some stranger would have access to them that they shouldn't. This is a fun little place with some great background music. It's like a brew pub meets a diner with lots of table tables. The staff is friendly and engaging. If you're gonna eat here, the pork sandwich is pretty good. My sweetie liked her cheesesteak. Also, they had a pretty yummy stout on tap as well - something fluffy stay puff. My buddy Nick really enjoyed the Irish red. Says it's very yummy.

Regardless of the busyness, we have received prompt and friendly service. All of the food has been tasty, from the nachos to the burgers. Shoutout to the bartender who hooked us up with the shirley temples, you're a real one. One thing is that it can get loud in here, but overall a great restaurant.
