The tenderloin use to be bigger and the pulled pork on the tots could have tasted better. I don’t pass by Lafayette a lot this place is a hit or miss when I do stop in. Yo get rid of the tip box at the window.

As a kid growing up in Lafayette it was great revisiting my childhood as I journeyed back home. Same great ice cream and service.
My favorite (then as a kid and now) is the vanilla cone with twinkle coat. Thanks Budgees!

I stumbled upon Budges Drive In and I’m so glad I did. I had an appointment nearby and wasn’t familiar with the area, so I brought up Google Maps and searched for restaurants. I liked the look of Budges and their menu. When I got there I noticed it wasn’t what I expected for someplace with “Drive In” in their name. There were just a handful of parking spaces and I noticed a small patio with picnic tables. I’m assuming it was a full blown drive in at some point.
I perused the menu. I was wanting food, not ice cream. I ordered a cheeseburger meal with their famous fries and a vanilla coke with house made vanilla syrup. I ordered a medium size for the fries and drink and my total was just over $9. I ordered at one window and waited at the other for my food. The staff were very kind and friendly. It didn’t take long for my meal to be ready, maybe 5 minutes at most.
I’m not much of a french fry person. I’m pretty picky about them. I opted to order them as my side because the menu said they were famous for their seasoned fries. They are the best french fries I’ve ever had in my life. I’m going to have to return many times for those. The seasoning was perfect and I loved how crispy they were. The menu said the burger patties were seasoned and then cooked. The burger was a great size and I loved the bun. It was definitely a greasy burger, but delicious. There wasn’t much grease dripping off. I had lettuce and mayonnaise on my burger. With my first bite I could taste the seasoning on the patty. It was unique…the only taste I recognized was seasoning salt. It was a very good burger. I can’t wait to eat there again.

I’ve only been to this cool little ice cream shop once, but it was great first impression. There was a big line when we arrived. I’ve been told there’s always a big line because everything is so tasty at this beloved little place. Their staff rocks though, and the wait to order and get our food was very short.
I had a small soft serve vanilla cone with twinkle coat. I also had a little bit of my son’s chocolate milkshake. Both were tasty. Nothing fancy, but cold and delicious on a hot day.
There’s a nice little covered seating area.
I’ll definitely be back.

Lovely ice cream shop. There was a line when we went but it wasn’t too long of a wait. The service was great and the employees were friendly.
The banana split was yummy! I’ll definitely head back here!

The prices are fair, not exactly a steal but I’m not mad at it. Portions on food are good and it always tastes great. Portions on ice cream are obscenely generous, to the point I’d exclusively recommend a small ice cream. This is not a complaint! The shakes are bomb too.

Great place to go for soft serve! The skyscraper is huge and you definitely get your money’s worth!

The staff was very helpful and friendly. The ice cream was amazing and so where the burgers. The food came out fast the slowest was the burger because they had to grill it but otherwise I would highly recommend.

Cute traditional window service ice cream shop with hot food as well. I got soft serve chocolate vanilla twist cone and it was just fine.
The kids played tag in the grass next to the lot. I leaned against a tree and just relaxed.
This is a good stop for a quick bite or treat if you’re in the area.

My wife and I keep coming back for their awesomely delicious ice cream cones! Highly recommended, do bring Wet-Naps for cleanup (the ice cream does drip on hot days!)
