Guy sent us...and we LOVED our visit! Awesome burgers, root beer, and staff! Well done!

Vintage Root Beer shack w burgers and all day breakfast. Iconic peanut butter smear burger signature item, didn't disappoint. Fries O Rings & SP fries. Yes got the mug of root beer. What a treat. Brought our grandson engineering student stud this year as our daughter many years ago. Need more reasons to come here. Since I grew up a block from local AW small town Kansas this place has generated fine memories. Grab a bar stool enjoy or make your own.

YUM!!!!! We ate here because of the hype this restaurant got from Diners, Drive Ins and Dives and it lived up to the hype! The space inside is small but they make the most of it! People eat quickly and it's all bar style seating. We came with a group of seven and were sat immediately. We all loved our meals of burgers, fries, breakfast omelettes, milkshakes, root beers, and biscuits and gravy. We will definitely be back and always bring out of towners here too! definitely worth checking out and prices are very fair!

Truly preserving the old school diner experience right down to the counter seating! This Diners Drive-In's and Dives famous spot near the Purdue campus gives you the greasy spoon experience without being anything you would associate with the negativity of "dive". Clean, quaint with super friendly service and fast turnaround. The burgers truly did taste great. Juicy with perfectly grilled onions and on the right kind of bun. The breakfast plates looked good too. I thought the portion of fries was a bit small considering you pay extra. My son got the chicken nuggets, which probably would have been better as a pressed/formed variety because small tenders can get dry. But the batter was excellent flavor-wise. We bought a mug because my husband loves diner mugs (and this mug is good sized!) they sell their root beer too. Definitely recommend stopping here. You get a 1950s feel with 2020s good food quality. Nostalgia the right way!

Came here twice, on football Saturday. Once for breakfast and then for dinner, after the game. Both encounters were great. I didn't have to wait on both visits. You do get real cozy with people on both side of you. Try not to order anything that require multiple plates. You'll run out of room. For breakfast, I got the corned beef hash (yes, it is canned) with scrambled eggs, and english muffin and one pancake (two plates lol). It was a simple breakfast. Nothing fancy. Everything was good. I washed it down with a coffee and a root beer. I think everyone was having root beer for breakfast. The 2nd visit was for dinner. And after a great PSU victory, I was seated within a crowd of Purdue fans, which was ok. They were nice. This visit consisted of another root beer and the "Duane Purvis" burger, which is the peanut butter burger. I am a huge fan of a PB burger. And if you've never had PB on a burger, you are missing out. This was pretty good, in comparison to some of the other PB burgers I've had. Next time, I would get it without the lettuce and add bacon. But I did eat the whole thing, along with some curly fries. On both visits, service was good. This is probably a must place to eat when in town.

This is a nice little diner. There are two seating areas. One is around the service counter and the other is outside on picnic style tables. I had the burger with hash browns. Both were great. But the star of the meal was the root beer and the root beer cake. We also tried their root beer jelly. While I wasn't sure what to expect, I landed up really liking it and bought a bottle to go.

We had to stop in while we were driving through Purdue. Not having eaten here before we grabbed a seat at the counter and were promptly greeted by our friendly server Aaron. We started with root beer. It reminded me of the root beer my grandfather used to make us on trips to the shore. Both my daughter and I chose the Duane Pervis Burger. If you are a fan of peanut butter this worlds! The fattiness of the burger and the sweetness of the peanut butter makes a savory delight! The fries were perfectly crispy on the side too. Would I get it again?? Definitely.

Triple XXX is still the fun and iconic place to visit. The counter style seating and diner feel is unique for today's restaurants. The diner is still in good repair for an old facility. The staff does their best to keep the diner moving and counters clean. The staff is generally friendly and focused on business. I was impressed that Dylan was right on top of the refills and filling customer requests quickly. My wife loved the Duane Purvus burger. The combination of beef and peanut butter is unique and very tasty! It really is a must try on one of your visits. I strayed with the onion rings. The ring is a thin and almost stringy piece of onion. The onion had a nice mild taste and a thicker batter. The batter was a bit greasy. However the thin rings and coating were fried just enough to give it a nice crisp. Overall very good ring! The chili dog was not as tasty. I loved the grilled and halved dog. This helps to bring out the meat flavor. The bun was nice and steamed and soft. The dog was topped with chili. I assume it is the same chili as you would get in a bowl. The chili was almost all beans...which is odd for a chili sauce. There were some small pieces of beef in the sauce - but not much. The chili dog really tasted like a hit dog with a thin coating of baked beans. The hot dog was bit more predictable. The grilled dog and steamed bun were as expected. The added relish, onions and ketchup/mustard were right on. The long pickle spear that was laid a top the dog was a great accent!

As a Hoosier, I've been hearing about Triple XXX for years. I finally had a chance to visit when my boyfriend and I came up to Purdue for a weekend to visit his favorite haunts. We first tried to come for a late lunch on a Saturday but the wait was almost an hour for a table, so we came back at 11:30 on the Sunday and only had to wait about 15 minutes. We lucked out getting in when we did because the line was once again getting crazy not long after we were sat at the counter. Seating is a bit tight, service was fine, and the food is reasonably priced. The Duane Pervis All American burger was savory with just a hint of sweetness from the smooth peanut butter sauce. Curly fries were good, and getting a root beer is a must. My boyfriend opted for the chicken and biscuits with onion rings, which were a little too greasy for our liking. The biscuits were fine but definitely came out of a package; he also wasn't a fan of the root beer jelly that came with it. This place is worth a stop to say you've done it--I mean Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives came for a reason--but wouldn't be part of my regular rotation unless you're looking for a greasy meal the morning after a long night out.

Local staple now. Probably was the same when I went there 25 years ago but I don't really remember it from back then. The place is located near Purdue campus just down toward Wabash from Chauncey Hill Mall. The place is just an old style diner/fast food joint with organization and decor from akin to 1950s American drive-ins, service burgers and Root Beer (very good root beer) in a frosty glass. The root beer is unlimited. The crowd was basically the students and Purdue and mostly parents and prospective students at least at the time that we were there. Burgers are good but I didn't have the Duane Purvis (don't like Peanut Butter, sorry). Place gets busy so expect to wait.
