Otterbein Dugout

Best small town food in the area. Worth the drive from Lafayette and the wait if there is a line. Great ice cream selection.

Two words that will change your life: Pork Hamburger. Get it. Eat it. Love it.
Additionally they make an excellent regular cheeseburger (the best in the Lafayette area yes I know it is a bold statement, but they back it up) and I am pleased to say the crinkle cut fries are super crispy, just the way I like them. The milkshakes are also excellent, nice and thick.

Woo-​Hoo! I finally got to try the Dugout. My boyfriend first showed it to me last Christmas; but since they are open seasonally I wasn’t able to try them out. I made sure that this summer though I’d catch them in action!
I came on my second to last day of vacation and my last day of vacation. My boyfriends cousin had been non-​stop talking about a pumpkin pie ice cream treat (Kinda like a DQ Blizzard) and I knew I had to try it! it had pumpkin ice cream, white Oreo cookie, came with a dollop of whip cream and a cherry on top — and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT!
(I do however, wish I could have added caramel to it :(that would have been B-​O-​M-​B! Oh well, next time Zoie!)
My boyfriend had a salted caramel ice cream cone and his little sister had a grasshopper which was a mint and chocolate concoction and which I kept grabbing little bites of.
The next day I decided to try them for lunch. I had the cheeseburger combo meal which came with a large portion of fries (enough for 2!) and a side of ‘slaw. The burger was super delicious and came with pickles, lettuce, and the reddest tomato that I have ever seen! The fries were a bit disappointing in a «came from a bag» sort of way. I would have loved if they were farm fresh — but for under $ 5 I can not complain.
Also — GET THE MARSHMALLOW COKE!
DO IT!!!
Stuff to note: cash only, not open all year round, you can call your order in, great variety on the menu, covered outdoor seating, parking lot, yummy as heck!

If you are looking for a good meal that is pretty cheap, or if you are looking for the best ice-​cream in the area, you’ve found what your looking for. Really good fresh off the grill BLT’s and if you go on a chicken croissant day… get it.
