I stepped back in time today to the burger joint of my childhood. Such a great place, authentically vintage. I went into the carry out side and placed my order. The employee who took my order was very cheerful, and I didn't wait long for my food. It's great that delicious orange sherbet is served with a meal. Onion rings are the best! Potato soup was better than homemade. My food was so good that I want to return until I try everything on the menu. I appreciate that they have a separate entrance for carry out orders and a nice waiting area. read more

Absolutely unchanged. If you're looking to recreate a memory this is the place. Old fashioned vegetable soup, old fashioned burgers, crispy Pepsi. Perfect. Stellar service too! read more

Love this place. The service is great. The atmosphere is unique. It's like the diner is stuck in a retro century. The food is always fresh and hot. The fries and pies are fantastic. The burgers are the best. And the other dinner entrees are truly a gem. Try something new the next time you are here. You won't be disappointed. read more

Best burger & fries I had in Indiana been living out here for 5+ years tried this place couple months ago now it's my favorite spot to get a burger read more

MD has th best burgers on the planet IMO, and the homeade O-rings are to die for. Where else can you get a vanilla coke and a hot fudge sundae for dessert. I can't believe it's not even on the list, but McDonalds is? read more

This is a classic spot around since 1932 and one I have not been to in a few decades. We opted to check it out after so many years and provide our girls the 'oldies' experience. It was lovely... we loved listening to the oldies. The waitress was wonderful. The burgers and fries were really good and the girls seemed quite happy with the shakes. And with everything being so expensive these days it was nice to go out and feel like you didn't just spend your entire paycheck. I hope we don't wait this long again for another visit! read more

I'm from Texas, so for me to say Miner Dunn's burgers are as good as Whataburger's, it is the best compliment I can give them. Their cheeseburgers are amazing! But their onion rings are definitely the best I've ever eaten. Prices are quite reasonable and the waitstaff is friendly and helpful. Y'all need to check Miner Dunn's out! read more

The food was amazing got a double bacon burger and fries with a shake. Was amazing! Totally worth the drive

Been going to this burger joint since 1966. Think it's better than Schoop due to more room inside. read more

The food was wonderful. Burger is what you would expect from a burger. I would recommend getting "everything" on the burger. I accidentally got mine "as is" without the added mayo, lettuce, tomato, onion, and mustard. The ice cream really hits the spot and is delicious. The service was great she was attentive. The ambiance of the restaurant is more of an old aesthetic which is refreshing when every store is modernized nowadays. read more

I love Miner Dunn! I got a delicious Reuben and some potato soup and was impressed! I already know how delectable the Reuben was, but the potato soup was great! It was a nice thickness and was nice and tasty. Just have to make sure the potato chunks cool down a bit or else you will have molten lava in your mouth when you bite into it! We always visit when it's too late for the soup of the day so hopefully one day we will be able to try a new soup! I am a huge soup person so it is a goal for me to try some from here haha. Great service as usual and we always love coming here! read more

Great burgers, soup and chili, onion rings and fries. The deluxe also includes a cup of orange sherbet or ice cream. The pies taste homemade, too. It's been one of my favorites since the mid 60's, and hasn't changed much since then, thank goodness. Always a pleasure when folks come back into town after years away from the area. Other restaurants come and go, but this one's survived for over 80 years. They must be doing something right. Yum! read more

we had a hamburger and a cheeseburger deluxe with everything-I had so much pickle relish on my cheeseburger i could not even taste the hamburger they defined need to portion out pickle relish and onion read more

Great food great service.However the interior needs a makeover which can be done while retaining the 50s style diner atmosphere.Mens rest room in terrible shape especially the greasy ,dirty handprints on the door. read more

Stopped in for lunch because we were both craving a cheeseburger. The place is decorated in 50's decor with lots of turquoise colors. They have plenty of booths and tables to sit at and it was pretty crowded. We both got the cheeseburger specials with a drink and orange sherbet. The food came out pretty quickly and it definitely hit the mark. They have plenty of parking and definitely wanted to try the soups or homemade pies next time. Great place to check out. read more

Walked in to meet party. Welcoming atmosphere when arrived and proceeded to meet party. Waitress was pleasant and cheerful. Helpful with soup and choices. She was kid friendly and patient with the kids. Received our food in a timely manner and everything was spot on. Food was hot and tasted great! Waitress constantly checked on us to make sure we were ok. This establishment had the old school diner feel and definitely would be coming back to try more of their food! read more

This place is such a gem. I like the old school interior, and that doesn't bother me unlike others. To me I think the charm of coming here(with the older decor) would be reduced a lot, if the interior got some sort of bland remodel and updating. But that is just me. Anyway great food, and I really like the orange sherbet(you also can get chocolate or vanilla) at the end of your meal if you get a deluxe combo with a burger. Strange you can't get a diced tomato on your burger, considering they also have non-burger items with diced tomatoes. That said, I still enjoyed the burger I got, which was the Highland Burger. I'd love to come back, and try more menu items. Maybe see how their soup, shakes, and pie slices are like as well. And heck I'll edit this review to give it 5 stars, since I keep wanting to revisit this place. That's how GREAT it was. read more

This vintage dive is one of the best spots for a delicious burger, awesome fries, and refreshing sherbet. I've been here twice in a few months, and it's always worth the carbs and calories consumed to indulge is this NWI nostalgia. The place definitely needs a bit of a makeover, but that would probably mess it up. The atmosphere is of a bygone era of family, drive-ins, and diners where folks sit at the counter being served another cup of coffee while indulging in good old-fashioned pie or a juicy burger. Leave your diet restrictions behind when you arrive. Think of the word "smashburger" and you'll imagine what their burgers are like; large, wide and thinned-out on the grill. Smother it with your favorite toppings like the cheese and you're good to go. The fries are hand cut and tasty with the skin intact--thinner and a little darker in color. They are tender with a slight crispness and a lot of flavor. Definitely not those pre-purchased, frozen fries that get thrown into the fryer. The deluxe order provides a delightful twist of orange sherbet, vanilla or both. Wanting a creamsicle? Go for the orange/vanilla twist. Coffee is good, fresh and served often. The service is mostly experienced, friendly and quick. Be sure to give them a nice tip while you enjoy the past. read more

I had the Original Cheeseburger with everything comes with ketchup, mustard, onions and relish on it. You can tell the burgers is a fresh patty, and the French fries are fresh cut!!!! Plus I had the in house made sherbet orange and vanilla twist and it was amazing but I'm a sherbet person. Old school diner very clean. The service was very good never had to ask for anything drink stayed full the whole lunch!!! read more

Best burger, best fries, best everything! Our server Karen, was awesome. Would highly recommend not passing this place up!

My friend at work recommended that I try the place, so I stopped here after picking up my car from Gerber. There were only a few people eating when I walked in, but the place looked bright and cheery. I liked the retro radio songs playing int the background and the old fashioned photos on the wall. I ordered the cheeseburger deluxe. The burger was huge! Almost as big as the plate and tasted so good. The fries were also good. Well seasoned and crispy. The real star is the orange sherbet, which tasted like a dreamsicle push pops that I would get as a kid from the ice cream truck. Yum!!. My waitress, Belinda, was very sweet and brought me my drink right away. She also came by frequently to check on me and brought me a refill. I'll definitely stop by again soon! read more

Food was good. Decor was a little out dated, but service was great. Offered to give us our ice cream to go, but we politely declined.

We popped in since we always ride past and there is a crowd. It was not bad! definitely old school-interior, music, decor. There is a carry out section as well off to the side. He had the patty melt basket (as usual wherever we go!) and I had the onion burger. He's a big guy so a double patty was necessary. You REALLY have to like onions for this burger as it was smothered in them. I was fine with the single patty. You pick all the toppings you want and most are free. If you get a basket, you get a soda and a sherbert. If you get a meal, you just get a sherbert. They have the skinny fries (sigh) but they were cooked crispy as requested-hubby forgot that request and stole some of mine. As for the sherbert there was a choice of orange, vanilla or swirl. I got the swirl and thank goodness I did! The orange tasted like baby aspirin but with the cream, it toned it down. He kept stealing my vanilla since he only got the orange. Overall, it was a cute little spot. read more

Miner-Dunn Hamburgers - Burger and fries - Burgers Near Me - Highland, Indiana

This spot never fails me, food is always great as well as the service. They have good variety of burgers to choose from as well as other entrees. Soups are tasty and delicious and the accompanying fries are fresh n hot every time I've eaten there. You can dine in or carry-out, and while you can order and pickup from the host station, there is limited space. To remedy this, there is a separate carryout addition with an entrance door to the north. The carry out area has seating and ample room for waiting. I think the only thing that could add to this place is an update. The building and interior is VERY dated, especially the dining area layout. Definitely still recommend for a great burger and chill experience. read more

I loved this place. It's like stepping back in time to an old-fashioned dinner. The menu has lots to choose from at great prices. I had the hamburger with everything. It was done to perfection and super yummy. The fries are great, too. All meals come with sherbert! I will definitely be back. You should try it. read more

Ordered carryout. Everything was delish. Fries were a little wilted, but it took a while to get home.

I had last eatten at Miner-Dunn 25 years ago. I had an uneventful hamburger and experience that did not inspire me to return to this beloved region restaurant. However, recently searching on Yelp for breaded pork tenderloin sandwiches near me, I came across Miner-Dunn having one. I stopped in Saturday September 9th for an early dinner and to try theirs. It was OK. Not bad but not very good either. Edible is the best one word I can think of to describe the meal. I ordered the deluxe which includes french fries and a little cup of soft serve ice cream. The Diet Pepsi was really good and free refills. My waitress was also very good and attentive. Regardless, neither of those two positives is enough to interest me in returning to eat at Miner-Dunn. read more

Miner-Dunn is a must if you're in Highland, Indiana. Yes, the building and interior might seem a bit dated but that's what adds to the charm. I've been visiting this place for over 30 years and love the feeling of nostalgia I get every time I walk through the door. They don't make diners like this anymore, that's for sure! And the food is great and the menu prices incredible. Where else can you get a burger with all the toppings, fresh fries, and soft serve sherbet included for $10?? On our most recent visit, our server was fast and attentive. We have been there on other occasions and received mediocre service, but I don't ding the restaurant for that as overall the service is always friendly and prompt. As long as I have family in Highland, we will continue to visit Miner Dunn! read more

Reliable. Consistent. Delicious. Hot. It's nice to go to a place that you know will never disappoint you. That being said, the other constant is nasty bathrooms. For the love of God. Remodel and enlarge the damn things. You make enough money! Servers can be A+ to a B. Only had an F once and thankfully she is gone. read more

Our server Liss short for Marissa I believe, was absolutely fenomenal! I had the California medley soup and it was soo delicious! I ate the mushroom burger with two additions and it was correct. I actually tasted flavor in the burger itself. My onion rings were fabulous, tasted freshly made with an awesome tampura coating. My friend had a different burger and fries. He enjoyed that too. Then we both were treated to soft serve orange and vanilla ice cream. As we went to pay, I noticed others being greeted by whom I believe was the owner or main manager. I made sure to tell him how impressed I was and we will definitely be back to try more! read more
