Bummie's Drive-In — Restaurant in Bluffton

Bummie's is a Bluffton staple! They serve up great, classic drive-in food for dirt cheap. There isn't much better than an ice-cold glass of rootbeer on a hot day, except maybe a rootbeer float. We've had most everything on the menu here and haven't gone wrong yet. EVEN with swamp water! Yeah, the name evokes some shivers, but there's something about the combination of root beer plus orange soda that's oddly pleasing....and addicting. Only complaint is that you can sometimes wait a long time to order or have your tray taken away if they're at all busy. The "start your car" policy works great in theory and when there's few cars waiting on service, but not so well when there's a lot going on. Not much they can do to change that, unfortunately. Oh, and they only take cash. Kinda inconvenient, especially if you don't know that before...

I only get to Bummies once or twice a year. I was really Hungry worked all day little to eat, and excited about Getting some food before they close for the season. I pulled up under the awning shut my vehicle off rolled down my window and all 3 waitresses turned around and acknowledged my presence. A short time later to more vehicles pulled up on the opposite side of the parking lot and that’s where two of the waitresses went to, I thought maybe the third one was coming my way but that never happened. I then realized real quickly they were part of a car . show and I guess they deserved service before I did. Needless to say I left unhappily I’m hungry on my long drive home so I’m pretty sure nobody there cares! I gave them a two star rating only because I have been a faithful customer since...

I travel to a lot of different areas in NE Indiana for work and always try and find fun places to eat at. This place definitely checked all the boxes! Old timey drive-in vibes. I went around 1pm and all parking spots were filled up! Service was super friendly and fast. I ordered the breaded cheeseburger, Spanish dog, and onion rings. All the food was super good. The breading on the burger was a bit too heavy for my liking and kind of took away the flavor from the rest of the burger. However, the burger was cooked well. Spanish dog was excellent, the sauce was super flavorful. Onion rings were also really good, not too heavily breaded and had good chunks of onion. All in all, super fun little spot with some great diner food. Def will be back the next time I roll through the lovely town...
