XXX Family Diner in West Lafayette, Indiana

On our recent road trip, I FINALLY had the chance to stop at the XXX Family Diner in West Lafayette.  There are many reasons to stop here, and I personally wanted to make a stop here because it is the oldest diner in Indiana!

This place is VERY cool!  I love going to a place where, if no one is using their cell phone, you can almost imagine that you are in an entirely different era.  XXX can give you that experience.

We sat at the counter on a bar stool, in a very crowded way.  We loved it though.  That crowded diner feel is a big part of the charm.

I had a bacon burger that was perfect.  It was the kind of burger that you shouldn't eat if you are trying to be health conscious, but that you should definitely eat if you are at a legendary restaurant on vacation and you want to eat something very tasty.

We also picked up some of their famous root beer!  Check it out!  You can buy some to go too!

West Lafayette is the home to Purdue University and the town has a very cool college town vibe going on. The area is definitely going on my list of places I have to get back to soon to explore more.  It is right on the Wabash River and we saw what I assume to be the Purdue Rowing team out rowing.  Very cool.
