This restaurant makes its own root beer and has the best onion rings in town. They slice and batter their own rings and the servings are great. I thought it was a wonderful value for the money. You can eat in your car or on the patio. They bring your food on drive in plates (the kind you slip over... more

Pretty good stuff, but it's gone a little down hill in the past few years. more

The hamburgers at this place are good, classic burgers. Nothing too crazy about the burger but it is big and prepared well. Mine had a piece of white bread in the middle of the hamburger. I liked the place and would definitely go to again. I would not say it's the best drive-in I have been to but it is... more

Great 50s style drive-in. House-made root beer, great tenderloins. Service is fast and friendly. The only things missing are the roller skates. more

My husband and I went for lunch on our recent trip. We had a very nice meal. The root beer was wonderful. I wish I would have brought some home with me. The servers were friendly and did a wonderful job. The place needs a good paint job and the exterior could use a fix it man, but the experience... more

I have been going to the Mug n Bun since I could walk. I still make sure to go back once or twice every summer and now take my own kids. If someone is coming to Indianapolis from out of town I certainly recommend they eat here, especially if coming to the Speedway which is only a few blocks away.... more

I've been coming to this site for over a year now to read other traveler's and diner's comments. Now I'm writing my first restaurant review - and the Mug 'N Bun has the honor of being my first subject. I pretty much agree with Rich below (and several others having less-than-ideal experiences at this restaurant). I'd read so many positive... more

This is a popular spot with some recognition nationally, but I thought the hamburger was, well, just a hamburger, and the fries, though tasty, appeared to be the frozen variety. My friend's pork tenderloin was very odd-looking -- like a thin hockey puck. I suspect it was frozen as well. The onion rings and root beer were very good. I'd... more
