She was awesome and hooked me up with all three, which turned out to be the perfect move. The sandwich was massive--easily a third of a pound of meat. I went for the fatty cut, and it didn't disappoint; you could see a legit smoke ring on the meat and the deep, smoky flavor stood up on its own even before adding a drop of sauce. It was a solid experience from start to finish. I'm definitely swinging back through when I need a quick, heavy fix.

Once you walk in, you walk up to a counter place your order and they will call out your name on the order is ready for pick up. There is also a fully self service station for sauces as well as Takeaway boxes if you need them. The menu offers a lot of different combinations and samplers and meats from pork to chicken. The sides are also a little bit unique in the sense that the vegetable sides also have added bacon, which is great to see. I personally love to see hush puppies, which is a very antiquated and rare to find option for food. And they did not disappoint. Overall, I would say from the sampler of the ribs and the chicken were fantastic as well as the pulled pork. The brisket was OK, but did not necessarily stand out. We did try four different barbecue sauces, which were all fantastic. The hush puppies as I stated earlier were absolutely delicious and I would come back just for these. We also got the corn pudding, which was a little bit on the sweeter side, but made and baked fresh just like everything else here. And this was a great alternative to cornbread. To top it all off, the staff here was so super nice, especially the young man at the counter when you first walked in as he also offered up a sample of the corn pudding because I've never heard of corn pudding nor did I ever tried it and this was also my first visit. I would definitely come back here again, and/or visit any of their other locations closer to Indy.

AND, not that I'm counting this against them, but how are you gonna sell me spoon bread and not give me a spoon? Lol. Shrimp tacos were also meh. Very bitter.

Sure enough, I saw a pool of grease on her plate that was dripping out of her burger. I wish I had taken a picture

Best breakfast in Lafayette!…read more Valerie served us up an amazing first time experience at this classic diner. Sign says they use beef tallow as their cooking oil! Love this spot. I ordered the Drew Brees country fried steak meal with hash browns and biscuits. The root beer jelly was a crazy surprise. Wife had the corn beef hash and eggs breakfast. Everything was 10/10 delicious. Nice cup of joe, the Coffee tasted like a nice breakfast blend, not harsh or bitter.

Triple XXX root beer was king of the hill back when I was growing up in the 60's and 70's. Damn…read morefine root beer, too! So imagine my (pleasant) surprise that there was but one Triple XXX restaurant that remained open, carrying the torch (as it were) for that great root beer! So on a nice and humid Saturday, me, hubby, and our little Puppy hopped in the car for a 2+ hr drive to West Lafayette IN for lunch! Of course - we got there - an old-style-diner-like building perched on a hill close to Perdue University in West Lafayette! We were seated in the outdoor "full service" tented section of the restaurant (covered) and perused the menu. After ordering the obligatory Triple XXX root beer (but of course - which came with free refills) we turned to the menu! Hubby ordered the Barney Burger - a 1/4 lb chop steak burger with cheese and grilled onions - as fyi, no burger comes with condiments- you get to "dress your own the way you like it" with condi's on the table. I ordered the Bernie Flowers All-Pro - a 1/4 lb chop steak with lettuce, tomato, onion (which I held) and Miracle Whip (yes!) on a toasty sesame bun. We both got curly fries (which were yummy, btw). Ok- first thoughts- the burgers - while fresh- were a bit dry. Hmm. The lettuce on my Bernie was a nice, crisp, and cold leaf. Yes! The tomato was freshly sliced and - honestly- looked like one I'd cut at home. Sweet! So why the 4 stars - I mentioned the meat was dry? Oh my. Yes, that's the sole demerit. But props to the fries and the awesome Root Beer! We enjoyed it - and just in the nick of time. No sooner did we finish up than a severe thunderstorm rolled into town! So we skedaddled to the car, hopped in, and drove thru drenching rain, super strong winds, some light hail - until we got outta Indiana on our way back to Illinois. Would we come again? Of course! Gotta support places like this-they're an important part of Americana! Check it out yourself and enjoy- as we did!

The kimchi duruchigi was probably my favorite -- the pork was tender and really flavorful, and the kimchi added a nice spicy, tangy kick. The spicy beef stew was comforting and hearty.

Definitely a solid spot in Lafayette if you're craving Korean food.

We walked in and we're immediately greeted and we asked if we could sit in the bar area. There is a divider between the bar area and the family section so you can bring the kids! As soon as you walk in the door you were hit with the great smell of barbecue. I always enjoy walking in a place and smelling that and then leaving and still smelling like the restaurant the rest of the night. We were served by the bartender and she was very nice and made some good suggestions for the menu. She also let us sample one of the draft beers they had on tap. They have Yuengling Lager on tap which always makes me happy. I ordered the pulled pork grilled cheese sandwich with the mac and cheese on the side. The sandwich was just filling enough. It left me full but not stuffed. The mac and cheese was a good side and had a good portion. My wife got the pulled pork nachos and had enough left over that she was able to have lunch the next day!! The limited hours make this restaurant tough for us to visit sometime, but I'm glad that we did and we will definitely be back!
