    Our family's Goto place when the weather heats up.
    Two and only two reasons for coming here!
    1) " The Milkshakes  "
    2) "The Interesting People" from the local neighborhood:)

    Probably one of my new favorite places in Lafayette for soft serve ice cream!! I got just a vanilla cone with rainbow sprinkles and it was so satisfying! Can't believe I just learned about this place after living in West Lafayette for so long.

    While the ice cream is typical of a drive-in, the malts are the way to go at Budges.  Also, your wallet will be grateful, as the prices are cheaper than a nearby Dairy Queen.

    An old classic! My fiancé insisted I try this place. We parked and walked on a beautiful day. Tasty burgers, sort of steak-n-shake style. Nothing fancy, but really good. Definitely a Lafayette classic! Tasty chocolate milk shake. Old drive in feel and good quality food. Give it a try!
