2 stars. TL;DR -…read moreroot beer in frosted glass is divine; onion rings were delicious; service is lacking. We were intrigued by the root beer and loved the idea of enjoying it in a frosted mug, so we popped over for dinner. We ordered a myriad of things, all of which were eventually served in one giant paper tray with zero markings to identify what was what. And our root beers? Served in paper cups. When we asked about the frosted mugs, we were told they were about to close and had suspended tray service. However, the car that pulled in AFTER us received frosted mugs... and so did the folks seated at the picnic tables. So... huh? We flagged down a different carhop and asked why those patrons were still being served mugs. Again, we were told it was because they were about to close. But the sign clearly stated they closed at 10 PM, and both parties arrived after us and received mugs after we'd already been told service was suspended. Was this a case of dining while Black? In this current political climate, I honestly never know. I certainly pray that wasn't the case. The carhop apologized and didn't offer any additional excuses. She simply said she'd speak with the manager. Shortly thereafter, two frosted mugs appeared, filled with some of the creamiest root beer I've had in quite some time. I prayed over mine again because, listen... I worked in restaurants. I've seen crazy things. For the record, the hours posted on the menu board are incorrect. They actually close at 9 PM on Saturdays, not 10. And right at 9, the lights shut off completely. So if you plan to keep eating, you'll need to turn on your dome light like it's a tailgate party. The onion rings and root beer were genuinely enjoyable. The hot dogs, burgers, fries, and fried mushrooms were mid. Just... meh. Nothing to write home about. But what truly irritated me was the corn dog. Everybody knows the best part of a corn dog is that crispy little batter nugget near the stick. WHY would they scrape it off?!?!?! Who does that? Why would you intentionally remove the batter from the stick? I was absolutely appalled. Pffft! I'd return for the root beer or maybe a root beer float, but I'd strongly advise arriving before 8:30 PM if you actually want the full frosted mug experience.

Silly and ridiculous menu making fun of basic appetites, nutella corndog sweet potato, cereal! Yes!…read moreWe four guys dropped in half expecting a mediocre mess of hyped Korean street food but couldn't believe how good all our dogs were! The basic, Nutella, Hot Cheeto, and my sweet potato were all crazy tasty and too easy to eat. We even thought about going again later for a midnight meal. It is a smart setup, both cash with the human or card at the screen to order. Parking is a problem with all the construction. I recommend parking back in the big lot near Buffalo Wild Wings. Hope to see more menu options show up soon, treat gluten free, offer pressure cooked nutrient conscious, and show off more veggies in the batter. Kuma is one of the places I'll recommend to all!

I ordered 2 plain dogs with a side of fries and a small soda . My husband ordered 2 coney cheese dogs with fried mushrooms and a root-beer. The rootbeer was good, nothing else was . My fries made it obvious the oil needed to be changed and some were dark brown oil bombs . Gross. When you get a plain hot dog it's easy to see what's wrong . It was pale and mushy and bumpy that's can only mean it was microwaved. My husband a coney cheese dog fanatic didn't even finish his two . The coney sauce was overly sweet and the dog mushy .

This is my second time here driving back from Chicago to Ohio and both times I have stopped here…read morefor lunch. The first time I got breakfast and a root beer. This time I got a burger and root beer. This isn't fancy food, this is country cooking at it's finest. The root beer is amazing. I should have asked about a root beer float, next time. You walk it and sit where ever you can. It it a long counter that wraps around and the wait staff walk inside it. The fries are yummy, and the burger was perfect for what I needed a solid meal since I hadn't eaten in almost 9 hours. Yep sounds like a personal problem. But hey at least the food here has been perfect both times. Maybe next time I will buy a shirt or at least some root beers to go with me. My burger was a true knife and fork meal. At least I am too old to be wearing my chili all over my beard and shirt. Highly recommend if in the area and it is only 5 miles off the interstate. Drive in and enjoy a yummy meal.

I live in Wisconsin now, and I haven't been back to campus since I graduated in 2016. My dad is having surgery in Indy tomorrow, so I decided to make Purdue my halfway point for the night. I couldn't not come back to triple xxx. All my memories from being a little kid with my grandpa, to basketball games with my dad, and to eating here one last time after graduation came flooding back. Same great, classic diner food. some things never change. College kids working the counter making all the alumni's feel cool by listening to their stories, the ice cold rootbeer and the barstools that are way too close together. Triple xxx is a staple.

They have the most tender and juicy chicken paired with the warm and slightly chewy yet crispy soft corn tortillas. I mean wow. I'm from the Chicagoland area and I'd say I've been fortunate enough to have amazing Mexican food. But this place ranks one of the highest in my book. And it's in central fricken INDIANA??? Idc. Absolutely the best place in town. Period. Not to mention the service is perfect. The team there is always greeting you with a smile, and it seems they really remember their customers and people. Gotta love that kind of hospitality in a town that notoriously lacks good service. These guys truly know how to go the extra mile and make your week UPDATE: I tried their flaming hot Cheeto birria bombs two days ago and I haven't been able to stop thinking about them. They were the most perfect texture of crunch to birria Mac and cheese ratio. One of my new favorite foods, which is wild because I've never been a fan of Mac and cheese bites. These are just. Unreal

Their soft serve ice cream is nothing short of amazing, and the fresh, cooked-to-order hamburgers are a perfect savory counterpart; the barbecue burger, in particular, is an absolute must-try. My wife raves about their frozen treats, expertly blending soft serve with cookie dough and M&M's. It's clear this place is a gem when both loyal locals and curious tourists consistently flock here. The building itself, an iconic fixture in Lafayette since the 1960s, holds a rich history as one of the area's first drive-ins, adding an extra layer of nostalgia to every delicious bite. Despite the consistently long wait of about 15 minutes, the efficient service, rated 8/10, keeps things moving, ensuring you get your treats swiftly. Parking is surprisingly easy, a huge plus for a popular spot. While the energetic atmosphere (9/10) is undeniable, it's worth noting that Budges doesn't cater specifically to young children, lacking highchairs and perhaps better suited for older kids or adults looking for a classic drive-in experience. I will be back!
