So glad this place opened back up. Last time I was by it said closed for good. You can't let a treasure like this pass. Food is exactly the same every time.tasty and decadent. A clean old fashion drive-in to grab a root beer with the family! read more

Dog N Suds Norton Shores is open again and has been all summer 2025. Drove past and saw it was open and stopped for a mug of cold root beer and a Chicago dog and my son got his old favorites as well. Nice people. Good service. Old school drive in with the tray hung on the window. Good times! read more

The food here has always been great, ever since I was a kid. I don't even like hot dogs, but the Coney dogs are the best I ever had. Furthermore the Texas burger would be a regular hamburger if it didn't have Coney sauce on it. The orders come out quick. I would recommend this place over any fast food restaurant. read more

Very good olive burger and fries and the Root beer is the best the carhops were very prompt and courteous

We were in town for the day and were happy to see a Dog n Suds, they exactly have two. The drive in was closed, but the downtown location was open. I had a corn dog which was fantastic. My guest had a root beer was outstanding. Give this place a try. read more

America in a roadside eatery. Burgers, dogs, tater tots, onion rings, malts, shakes, house soda (I had black cherry), and a friendly staff. Car curb service or picnic tables. Everything was excellent. Order lots, tip well, and don't forget to flip the toggle switch to gave them come out to collect your tray. read more

Dog N Suds - Fast Food Near Me - Muskegon, Michigan

See all

Don n Suds was my first job when I was in high school (in the 70's) and we go here whenever we are in Muskegon. It is nice see that there are still a couple of these left in Michigan. The menu has changed little since I was kid working on the grill and the food tastes pretty much the same as all those years ago. I tend to get the pork tenderloin sandwich the wife usually gets the corn dogs (which were not on our menu). The root beer is still one of my favorites and despite the fact that it is available in the bottle in the area, there is something about getting it in a frosted mug that makes it taste so much better. Well worth the visit but check the hours before you go. We have been there a couple of times recently and found it closed. read more

Peanut allergy Alert: **They roll the hot dogs in peanut oil!** Very small print on the drive up ordering menu notes this, but it's almost impossible to read from a car. Hoping to save someone from an emergency epi-pen experience, as I've never experienced a hot dog in peanut oil before. read more

Arrived on bike with my daughter, well prior to their posted closing time. I spotted the owner standing just inside his open kitchen door, and upon inquiry, he refused to divulge his dining room's scheduled closing time, choosing instead to accuse me of telling him how to run his business - which was not the case - and commanding his worker to phone police! This man was easily the rudest business owner I've ever met. Wish I could award negative stars. read more

I love this place!! Many memories from childhood that I share with my children. Their root beer is the best.

I do enjoy going there for their root beer, perch, corn dogs. I would say that the owner is described accurately by ex employees and other customers and from what I have seen. If he was out of the picture, I think it would be a fun safer working environment for them. read more

If you have ever visited the dog-n-suds in Montague you will love this newly reborn cousin. All of the classic menu, car-hops and inside dining. Grab your poodle skirt or slick back the D-tail. read more

I live in the west and I have tried Dog n Suds root beer for years and really liked it. While on a business trip in MI I came across the drive in and I had to stop in to try their food. I had a couple of coney dogs, onion rings and of course root beer. The staff was friendly, quick service and the food was good. I will eat here again next time I'm in town. read more

Dog N Suds - Fast Food Near Me - Muskegon, Michigan

Cute place. Great hamburgers. Drive ins are always a fun place to visit. They have unique flavors of soda. We ordered the typical cheeseburgers and they were tasty. So much better than the chain places. We got shakes and a black cherry float. They were both very good. The service was fast and very friendly. Don't forget to tip your servers. read more

The restaurant had a welcoming ambiance to it. We choose to eat inside because of the extreme temperatures outside that day. I ordered the Cheeseburger (shocker I know) with their season fries. My husband ordered the breaded chicken sandwich. I thought the burger was excellent. I was shocked that it had an authentic open flame broiled taste. along with the buger, I ordered their in house root beer, OMG it was some of the best root beer I've had in a while. I would highly suggest this place if you're looking for good food, fast service and an overall 50's diner experience. read more

Dog N Suds - NOW that's a glass of Root Beer - Fast Food Near Me - Muskegon, Michigan

Worst experience I ever had at a restaurant. Was meeting a group of people who had already arrived and we're seated. When I entered there was a woman who stood at the door and said they were not seating any other customers. There was only the group I was meeting and maybe two other tables in the whole place. The manager/cook was walking around in a confused state yelling that he couldn't take anymore customers. I explained to the woman that we wouldn't order anything but would just like to join our group that was already there. She literally barred the entry and would not allow us into the restaurant. If I could leave 0 stars, I would. Will never be back after this horrible experience. read more

Pretty good food. Make sure you get the onion rings though if you can handle these monsters. My family and I stop here when we are the cinema right down the road. It is a nice quiet little place with a lot of local charm. The drive up ordering is something you don't see much of anymore. :) read more

This cute, locally owned drive-in is the perfect place to stop before hopping on the interstate. Although their advertised vegetarian options are limited, you could order grilled veggies on a bun or hot dog toppings on a bun, and they'll be happy to oblige. Four stars is for the experience, speed of delivery, and friendliness (and cuteness) of the waitstaff. read more

Not only was the food mediocre at best, the gentleman working was frustrated at our party of 20. Apparently too much business is an unwelcome issue for this establishment. Perhaps if they learned to accommodate tables larger than 4, they'd have an easier time filling the place up. It was my first, and last experience here. The chicken tenders I ordered say 3-4 pieces on the menu. I received two, and was told they're 'by weight'. Perhaps it should say that on the menu? The two tenders I received were so hot they burned the inside of my mouth, so I didn't have to taste the rest of the blah meal. Aside from the poor service, the food gave no reasons to return. McDonalds, anyone? read more

Wish I could give zero stars. Owner is an a-hole and treats his customers and employees like dirt. Was with my family and had issues with my food. Owner implied we were lying and called the police. Hoping to save some Yelp! customers the trouble. Stay away... :/ read more

On special occasions I loved to treat my family to a jug of freshly brewed root beer. My son and I both referred to it as the world's greatest.....However we will now have to settle for anything but. The last time my son and I walked into the restaraunt we were greeted by the waitress. I told her I would like a jug of root beer to go. She then told me I had to go outside and order it from one of the drive up kiosks. I just looked at her for a second. Then looked around the restaraunt. My son and I were the only customers they had (Inside & outside). I laughed and said "So you're going to make me get back into my truck, drive 20 feet and ask you for a jug of root beer again?" She replied "That's how we do it now." So I climbed back into my truck. Drove across the street to the corner store and bought a 2 liter of A&W. I guess that's how I DO IT NOW. Whatever happened to "the customer comes first?" read more

Coney dogs, coney dogs, coneys dogs. They're absolutely fantastic the chili is phenomenal with just the slightest a hint of sweetness. I'm definitely a regular here in the summer. As well as my friends, they do a fine job of accompanying larger groups contrary to what some other reviews say.... The staff is always polite and welcoming. I can honestly say I have never had a bad experience here so hit it up, enjoy great food at a fair price in a unique retro/classic environment! read more

The best coney dogs I have ever had came from dog n suds. Along with an awesome rootbeer float. This place has yet to disappoint. Good atmosphere, great service, and an overall winner with true chili dog fans. read more

@ K.B. -- A friend of mine worked at a Sonic (also drive-in), and he said the car hops did indeed receive tips. Came here about an hour to close. Was happy to see there was an option to dine inside! The woman at the counter was super polite. Our orders were correct and delicious! Will be returning next time we hit up Cinema Carousel! read more

My husband and I love to support local, small businesses, but we would caution anyone considering dining at the Dog-n-Suds restaurants. The following is an email conversation between us and the management/owner of the Dog-n-Suds located on Grand Haven Rd in Muskegon, MI on 4/13/2012. First Email from us: Tonight my family and I visited the Muskegon restaurant. We received the worst service. The food was excellent. The problem was with the manager. For some reason one girl was in charge of cleaning glasses and not helping with customers. Then we had to see and hear him belittle his staff. I have no idea why he would do this with customers in the dinning area. We kept waiting for some cameras to come out and let us know we were on a show. His actions will make me have to rethink whether or not my family will visit it again. Response: Thanks for your comments, We have been alot busier than expected, and were training. Soon we will not have a staffed dining room, table phones will be used to place orders. There will be greater speed and accuracy using this method as the computer answers the buttons in the order they were pushed. Have a great weekend, Dog n Suds of Muskegon. We appreciate your business. Our response to this: My husband received an email back that supposedly addressed his concerns over our dining experience on 4/13/12. I feel that this response was inadequate and unsympathetic. It's a shame because, based on this response, we will not be returning. We will also make sure to let everyone we know and come into contact with how our dining experience went. We have often dined at Dog-n-Suds and have been very pleased with the service and the food. This time was much different. The whole experience showed a lack of respect for the employees as well as the patrons. It just showed poor management all around. Why have one girl at the counter, whose main function seemed to be washing glasses, and then have the poor waitress in training handling everything else? The manager's treatment of the new server was horrendous. I'm surprised she didn't start crying. For this to be done out in front of the restaurant full of customers was so inappropriate. We were extremely uncomfortable and I'm sure the poor girl was mortified. I felt like we were on the show "What Would You Do?". The manager even went as far as to blame the server for "freaking out" because it made him "freak out". A good manager would have instead offered support, encouragement and guidance to his staff and would have been the calming presence. One of the manager's comments was that the customers were going to "blame him" for her errors. Actually we blame him for acting like a horrible person. All in all, a simple "we are training" would have sufficed to appease any concerns about slower service or any errors in the orders. We would be returning if that were the case. Response: Thanks again, Have a great day. Dog 'n Suds of Muskegon Obviously, the manager/owner not only doesn't care about his staff, but also doesn't care about his patrons. read more

I almost never get a chance to go to lunch . Today I decided to treat myself to Dog n Suds . My 60th birthday . No one in the restaurant but me . A lady met me at the door & asked if I was dining in . I said no ,I'd like it to go . She said I had to order from the the outside then . I said I have never had to do that before , she said I do now as of January . So I walked out there to order & a guy came out & said I can't stand at the machine I needed to get in my truck & place my order , he said "its not hard" ... If you knew how tall my truck is you would know its impossible to reach the buttons from there . I would have had to get out of the truck anyway .I left I told my son & my daughter in law while they were here . My son left & talked to the manager . He came back with lunch & an apology ( eventually ) ( grudgingly ) from the manager .The Manager offered it for free . My Son declined & paid anyway . read more

The food is a great price when compared to quantity. I got the hamburger with a side I'd onion rings. The burgers were fairly large and onion rings were good. Have to get the vanilla milkshake! Not a fan of the decor but the staff was friendly and service was fast. read more

The best chili dogs anywhere. A must stop when i come to town. The Root beer is good too! Better than any place I've found in LA. Sometimes small towns do have it better. read more

Heard about its unique vintage charm and food. Kids were excited and we drove 40 minutes to the muskegon location. Pulling in we noticed all the windows papered over which struck us as strange. We got out and found a door after much searching and before we could go inside were forced out by a manager. Supposed training for new girls going on. Peering inside it was dark and no girls in sight. We were told to eat in our car or sit at a picnic table by the busy road in the hot sun. I told her we wanted to eat inside but were refused even after telling her of our long trek there. She said it was nice enough weather to eat outside. We promptly left confused and vexed. After reading multiple other reviews also with the same problems over the years we have decided there is either a drug ring...porno shoots...cannibalism...or some REALLY shady stuff going on there. Ridiculous. Insane. read more

Great root beer! It is hard for me to get anything else here. Great root beer floats too. The ambiance is perfect for a 1950's drive in, the staff is courteous, they even have the little silver coin changers on their belts. Order the 22 ounce root beers, they come in a frosty mug and are wonderful. I've also had the Chicago hot dogs, they are very good but I haven't found any place that can match the real dogs you get in Chicago. read more

Love to go here in the summer! This place has really good food! The home made applesauce is so delicious! The service is always top notch with very helpful and extremely kind people. We even ate inside once and my boys and myself had a great time. If you've never been here I would strongly suggest you go! read more

There is only one place in the world that I know of that serves better coney dogs than Dog N Suds. This particular location did not disappoint. I did wait just a few minutes longer than I might have expected and the dogs were not as hot as they could have been, but we are only talking about the difference between great and perfect. By the way, I still do not know weather to tip a car-hop. I did. She was nice, but is that standard practice? read more

I love the old school look and feel of this place! The food is always great and you have to try their malts and root beer floats!

Ordered a hot dog, a corn dog, and a shrimp & fries basket. Corn dog was tiny and way overpriced. Hot dog looked like something I could pick up at Walmart and throw on a bun. Shrimp was over cooked and mainly batter hardly any meat at all. The fries that came with them were soggy and obviously had been sitting quite a while. Save your money and go to a fast food chain instead. Totally not a place I would recommend to my worst enemies. read more

A good friend was witness to extreme employee abuse at this restaurant by a manager in front of patrons. Being concerned, they reported it to the restaurant management upon returning home. The management replied with two condescending messages. Please boycott this restaurant. There are many great places in the area to eat and that treat their employees with respect. This is not one of them. read more

What a fun place!!! This was the first time the kids had been to a drive-in, and we went for the carside service. Kids had the BBQ sandwich and said it was delicious but small (but DD didn't like the chunky-style applesauce that came with it). My grilled chicken sandwich was decent, but not special. DH had the hamburger and fries and said it was tasty. We tried the root beer based on the Yelp reviews--very tasty, much better than what you get in the store. I tried the black cherry pop, and it was good but a little sweet. Fun experience. read more

I've visited both Muskegon County locations and their food is consistent in its ups and downs at both places. I have never been impressed with their fries but their onion rings are quite munch-worthy. Their coney and chicago dogs are tasty and probably my top recommendation. Stray off the beaten path of burgers (another item I haven't always been impressed with) to find some real treats, like their pork BBQ or tenderloin sandwiches (yum!). Eating outside at the Grand Haven Road location isn't great but the inside area is excellent in the wintertime and on rainy days. As for value, I always walk away feeling I've paid a buck or two more than expected, but they recently added some bargain deals that satisfy if you are on a budget. Long story short, most of their menu is good with a few exceptions, the experience adds some fun factor, and bring a few extra dollars if you're hungry! read more

We live within walking distance and enjoy walking over here for a quick dinner. Their root beer is the best! My hubby enjoys the perch and I like any of the hot dogs. Their fries are especially good. read more

Great coney dogs and the root beer is the best. Food is always fresh, hot, and tasty. Char burger....give it a try.
