What is there to say that hasn’t been said about this American treasure? The service was great followed with beautiful smiles. I ordered 3 chili dogs and a 32oz root beer. It all hit perfectly. I never wanted it to end. The music playing set you in a Time Machine back to the hay day of hotdog joints and roll n roll. For a brief moment you can forget all you worries and just enjoy the simple things

First of all, Audrey is FANTASTIC. If you get her, you’ll love her.
This was my husband’s and my first time coming here based on the Indiana Culinary Passport. Local spot with house made root beer and tasty toppings for their hot dogs. It’s so classic, a real-life example of what Sonic is trying to harken back to but can’t really claim. You drive up and a car hop will bring your food and rest your meal on the window like old times. Prices are excellent, food is solid (really enjoyed the hot dogs; fried and onion rings were fine). Husband definitely recommends the slaw dog if you like spice (order the slaw on the side to control your spice levels). The root beer is smooth and flavorful. The ice cream was tasty also with a flavor twist of your choice added in!
It was kind of random for us to come here but we’re so glad we did. We highly recommend and I’ll be back for sure!

Polish w/mustard and kraut, fried mushrooms, & small root beer, all cheap and delicious. They remove the stems from the shrooms and that improves them exponentially.
I’ve driven by this place a million times while visiting clients outside of Indy, and I got tired of Taco Bell so I finally stopped by today and it was worth it.
Good food, but my most memorable part of the visit was the server Mariah. She has a lovely, calm, welcoming demeanor, and she doesn’t know it, but I was on the verge of hot ugly tears ALL DAY until my interaction with her. I’ll be back not only for cheap, hot food, but because a good memory was created here by a great employee. Nice nails, girl!

I came here with my family for the first time today. We tried the hot dogs with their house spanish sauce, their french fries and onion rings and the root beer floats with Gene’s homemade root beer. Our server was super friendly and helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed our drive in restaurant experience. We will be back 🙂

This was our first visit and we really enjoyed it. The chicken sandwich was wonderful and the homemade root beer was really good. The prices were not bad at all and we always love to support small local businesses. We will definitely be coming back.

I love this place! Wonderful root beer (diet is good!) And genuine chocolate/vanilla twist cones. Love the fried mushrooms. The waitstaff is courteous and attentive!

We love this place so much we drive here from ohio just for lunch. My husband has ate hot dogs all over the u.s. and these are his favorite. The fried mushrooms are the best I’ve ever had. Service is super fast and the food is fresh everytime. Only negative is you get mayo packets instead of them putting it on but believe me that’s a small price to pay for the quality and friendly service you get here.

Ordered the fried breaded cheeseburger. Was told had cheese inside, it did not. What it had was some shredded thrown on top. The burger was very thin, over cooked and VERY greasy. One bite and I could not eat anymore was very bad. Got a gallon of root beer to go, was not overly impressed with it either, lost its fizz very fast. I will not be returning.
