SUCH a cute place and really amazing fries. This is the hole-in-the-wall place youre looking for!!! Much better value than any chain restaurant

Always loves this place. Wished it was opened all year round. But, always a great a delicious experience!

I love Budgie Burgers and the fries are amazing.....the problem is three out of four times they dont make my burger right! I live in West Lafayette and normally eat when I get home and its too far to drive back and everyone else would have already eaten by then! So I settle for Culvers which is nowhere as good as Budgies!

We always go for the ice cream, which is fabulous in all its forms. We havent ordered from the food menu, but it seems to be popular. And dont forget to take your doggy pal - they have a very generous bark bowl (I think thats what its called).

Loved it! The ice cream was delicious and the service was great. Its a perfect place to grab an ice cream cone on a hot summers day.

To be honest I go here probably once a week. It is a tradition in our family and every one of us enjoy it. But since the new ownership theres been quite a lot of issues... Especially with customer service... Talking about the blonde in the Fry area especially. Will continue our family fun time and still go as it is a local treasure but if every time theres an issue... Sucks that I cant give you guys five stars I would love too

Always go above and beyond to make what you want delicious are extra nice to customers. Service with a smile.

Always great food and service

Love their 🍟 fries! They season them so good! And the food is HOT when you get it. All their desserts are wonderful too but dont miss out on the food. Its not just ice cream stand. If you like carnival food this is a million times better!

Just a humble neighborhood walk-up burger and ice cream stand? No! Generous sized sandwiches and tasty tater tots, too! Great milk shakes!

Good food and ice cream. Reasonable prices. Parfait was delicious as were the loaded tots and Budge Burger. Yum!

Go check them out! Lots of food and ice cream choices.

Their ice cream shakes always hits the spot on those hot sunny days! I wait all winter long till they reopen! Honestly its the cheapest and best place to get amazing ice cream!

We were just passing through. Decided to stop for a break. Excellent choice! Delicious!

Been eatin here for years and they have hands down the best food in the Lafayette area. They’re portions are big and cheap too. My only gripe is it takes forever to get served. Went there today and seriously took 30 minutes between orderin and bein served.

Good soft serve with large portions and very fair pricing!

What a great find I was introduced by a friend. Ice cream was delicious and very generously affordable. Definitely will be back for more butter pecan ice cream!

Always great to stop by here and grab some ice cream or food! If youre looking for good ice cream and grill food, I highly suggest here :)

Food and ice cream was good but they forgot about 2 items on the order and we wauted 30 minutes for them.

Good ice cream and shakes! Great service thats pretty consistent.

Best Coneys in town. Burgers and fries are tasty. Loaded tots are loaded with mounds of toppings. Staff was fast and friendly. Cones, shakes, sundaes, and splits, name your flavors. North end goodness served here.

Love the place been going there for 40 years ever since my grandparents started taking me LOL I feel old

Best place for ice cream on the north side. Great prices and huge selection of treats at great prices, definitely worth checking out on a hot day.

Was very good ice cream. Hope to visit again before they close for the season.

Great place. New owners and new hours.Still the great place that it has been for the last 80 years.

Great diner food. Coney dog and fries were excellent!

Dont just think ice cream. Me and my wife just brought home some really great carryout! Seriously, Im gonna swing by tomorrow just to tip! Great job management. 😀👍

They were out of several things every time we came in. Nevertheless, what we did get to try, was very tasty.Staff wasnt super happy to be there.For what it is, a good experience.

Definitely was a five star visit. I had a medium hot fudge sundae with pecans and whip cream, DELICIOUS! My wife had a twist cone, she loved it.

Frankly, this place looks sketchy, but the ice creams good, and cheap, as well as all the staff Ive interacted with has been pretty cool. Ive yet to try any of their food, but ya, check them out.

Been going to Budgees for years, love the cherry cokes and ice cream

The peanut butter shakes are to die for!! My family loves this place! You’ll never go to White Castle again!!

Good food, good ice cream, heartburn here we come.

Budgees is a sm. ice cream stand. They do have some delicious food items also. Their coney sauce is the best, its home made.

This ice cream diner is amazing. The flavor burst soft serve vanilla is so good.

Grew up enjoying their food, ice cream and pops. Always good!

Quick ice cream drive in. Nostalgic feeling more than great ice cream.

Great place for getting a quick bite or a some very great ice cream to hang out!

Always a line, never a long wait. Decades of proven deliciousness!

Great locally owned walk-up business. Delicious ice cream, sandwiches, and old fashioned fountain drinks.

Very tasty and cheap soft serve ice cream (chocolate, vanilla, or twist) - a large is a pretty huge cone for only $2.13 with tax!

Love coming here. The prices are good and love that they have pup cups

Been goin here since i was young still a decent spot to dine.

I love it, I go to budge almost on a daily basic.

Was hoping for the grilled pork tenderloin but they are not serving it at this time. Had the breaded one it was good

Staff was nice and helpful. The food was good, and icecream as always great. Its nice to have this great business still around.

Budgies is a long time family favorite for ice cream and drinks. Their service is not changed over the years and I would return again.

Always delicious 😋. Staff is always friendly.

This is a must try if youve never been.

A city tradition. Always the best place to get ice cream and a few drive in style foods.

Always an awesome experience. Even tho the line is long sometimes, service is always fast and prompt.

Great service, seriously. Quick too. And a great tasting large portion for a great price. The basic small cake cone is huge for like 1.50 and the chocolate malt shakes will hit the spot for sure

Still has best strawberry/banana shake in town and there fast

This is THE place to go for soft serve around here! Amazing taste, great portions at super low prices

Busy place! Banana split was very good!

Flavor burst son.

I believe its going down hill because you ask for one size and they give you something that way to much or way to small plus they are very slow and they play around to much there needs to be better training plus the manager is rude

A Lafayette classic. Best French Fries in Lafayette and love, love, love their fruit drink

Not the best food in my opinion but great ice cream

Longtime staple in Lafayette. Made to order burgers/sandwiches. Fresh softserve ice cream with a variety of flavors.

Ice creams so good my little brother stole mine

Best ice cream in Lafayette, and reasonably priced.

No ppe used, cooks and cashiers dont were masks but the food is superb

Great food and shakes! Small parking area and wait time can be lengthy, but worth it!

Pretty cool spot. It was busy in the early evening and we only ordered ice cream. No complaints about the ice cream, and they were large portions. No complaints about the customer Service...except the wait time to order was overly long.

Great shakes, ice cream and food.

The walts loaded tots where great

Soft serve ice cream is divine.

The burgers are amazing and the ice cream is fantastic the fries and onion rings are great just everything looks truly awesome....but you better hurry they close on October 31 2020..until next year

I hope they pay the children well.

Budges, in my opinion, is one of the best ice cream places in town, but they also sell burgers, seasoned fries, twinkle top ice cream topping, and chicken tenders, as well as pop. I just miss it when theyre not open from Halloween to either late winter or early Spring, I think. So good... Their black raspberry is great!

DELICIOUS!!! Always a treat

A must do if your in Lafayette and its not winter time. Been going here since I was kid and Im 38. Food is great

Went here last week for carry out. We got a few cheeseburgers, a budge burger, nachos, loaded tater tots, fries, onion rings and milkshakes. The cheeseburger and loaded tots were awesome. Their milkshakes are the best Ive had in Lafayette. However, the budge burger was alright and my wife wasnt too crazy about coney sauce on the nachos. Lets support local businesses!

Kids first time they loved it! Cant wait for warmer weather!

You cant help but stop at Budges when you are nearby! I ordered a banana split, hold the pineapple added Carmel. Decent price around $4. Their menu includes hot and cold foods! I recommend the tenderloin if they have it!

Best ice cream in state Im from N.W Indiana and drive 100 miles to eat here.Corn Dogs are best

Well, it is NOT a Drive In like Dog N Suds with carhops and ordering from the car. You have to get out of your car because there is no drive thru either. The appearance of the place looks like it hasnt seen much maintenance or updating in its 78 years and the neighborhood is seedy. They got my order wrong, which took 10 minutes and another 10 to make it right. However, the Coney dog and fries were excellent and the portions more than generous. I might go back but not after dark.

Awesome little outdoor place. Great ice cream and shakes including a Fruity Pebbles shake thats not on the menu! They also have hotdogs, burgers, and fries that are real tasty and served fast. There is no dining room or restroom thought. It is a walk up service with a few usually dirty picnic tables on the side.

Great food 👍

Showing its age, food is always great tho. Be nice to see some improvements to the building.

They always have delicious ice cream and pretty good prices. Plenty of different options and flavors to enjoy! :D

Perfect sweet little hometown ice cream shop with a very large variety of items, food, snacks, specialty drinks, sodas, shakes, malts, flurries flavor burst ice cream-in like 12 flavors- sundaes and so much more! A MUST, if in the area

I love ice cream, so its hard to dislike many parlors. This place barely looks open, our orders were messed up, and the mixing really wasnt that great. :/

Some of the best food in Lafayette

A Lafayette tradition. Excellent gooey cheeseburgers and crispy tator tots. Yummy shakes and ice cream.

They never get my order right and the food is decent, when they do get the order right food is terrible!

Been waiting, our favorite ice cream shop.

Love there malt shake

Milk shake was good, tasty but thin. Hot dog -well it was a hot dog fixing were also slim. Fries were excellent tho. Budges is just getting sooo very expensive. Oh, and no drive thru, as your question is stated. Hard to understand, why quite so very high priced - very low over head, in every respect of a almost self-serve - carry, sort of thing.

Love this place awesome ice cream awesome prices. Wonderful service

Fantastic ice cream! Looks like a diamond in the rough kind of place. Doesnt appear to be in the best of neighborhoods but the history of the place is part of the appeal. In business since the 40s (I believe thats what it said) and still going strong today. We had milkshakes and ice creams and all were fantastic. We tried a few ice cream places while in town for the week and Budges wins for their vintage appeal and classic American offerings. Its close to the road so watch your kiddos. Well be back!

Quaint slice of Americana, food is good, and the shakes are RICH with flavor I cant finish the large size.

Super fun ice cream treats. The buttered pecans that they handmade were well work the journey. Id for sure go again and this time try one of their adorable rolled cones. A lot of fun items on their menu.

Best place to get ice cream

Took 52mins for cheese fries and ice cream cones....

Still the same😋. Had the parfait with pineapple, strawberries, chocolate sauce, whipped cream and nuts. As good as it gets.

Good food and nice people

Best banana splits in town. my family and I visit at least 3 times per month.

This place is a small gem in a big city. A fantastic locally-owned business that is open to serve during the summer. Their food is delicious with a very fair priced. For such a small place they do have a decent variety on their menu. If youre looking for a hot lunch or dinner or a cold treat on a hot day this is definitely a place to try.
