B & K Drive-In

This place is a classic, car hops and tray-​on-​the-​car-​window drive-​in treasure in Van Wert, largely unchanged for decades. It’s been through several changes of management over the years, but each new owner has respected the tradition that has kept it popular. So if you happen to be in the mood for a chili dog and a root beer, this is the place to stop. They also have good fried mushrooms and fried pickles, all good comfort food at good prices. The only reason it lost a star is that they were unusually skimpy with the chili when we stopped by this year. We’re not in town often so don’t know if this was a fluke or a trend — hoping it’s the former, as the chili is as delicious as ever. I’ll post a picture of the chili dog, you can see for yourself.

Good drive-​in food. The root beer was served in an icy cold mug and came with free refills. The chocolate shake was great!

Cheap, awesome food and shakes, free refills on rootbeer, what more can you ask for?
