Our first time here! Food was great! Port dog chili cheese dogs were awesome! Frosty mug root beer was da BEST! If you’re near Chesterton it’s worth stopping in! Abby our server was great!

Our server was nice, and the prices were reasonable. The place itself is so cute–it remains much the same as I assume it looked decades ago. Places like this should be preserved, and I’m glad it’s still open. It reminds me of going to the A&W drive-in as a kid. My only complaint is that it took a bit too long to get our food. We only ordered 3 root beer floats, and we waited 15-20 minutes. It was 7:15 pm and not very busy.

If I had to sum this place up in one word it would be OUTSTANDING! We got there around lunch time and they were a little busy but as soon as Emma saw us she acknowledged us and said she would be with us shortly. My boys killed some time playing the claw machine (best one I’ve seen because all the stuffed animals aren’t jammed and impossible to get) and looking at the license plates. The owner came out and asked my kids if they wanted a specific color car was a friendly and cute gesture. Food was delicious, root beer and shakes fantastic and service outstanding! We will definitely be back!

Passing through the area to visit Indiana Dunes and saw this place come up on nearby restaurants, so we had to check it out.

Parking is a bit tight if you have a bigger vehicle or are towing a trailer. Food and service were alright.

Fun place to take the kids. I had the fish. It was over priced for what it was…frozen triangular filets. My husband really enjoyed his hot dog. He said it was very good. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They made the trip worth the amount of money we spent. I’m sure they need a raise.

Met all our expectations. Food was cooked fresh. We had a western hotdogs and pork tenderloin sandwich; both were very good. The fries were burn-your-mouth hot, very crispy outside and soft inside. Excellent! The root beer floats were good, too.

It’s an old-time hop restaurant. You pull your car into a space, and they come out, take your order, and hang it off your window. They make their own root beer. The root beer floars are delicious. All their food is good.

Hot dogs, fries, root beer, and onion rings were all excellent. Hamburger was cafeteria quality, not bad but not good. Atmosphere was great. Service was quick and attentive. Will be visiting again for sure.
