Triple XXX Family Restaurant

Opened in 1929 by Bert Wright, the 24-hour restaurant on the Levee near Purdue University has continued to serve hamburgers, root beer and shakes to West Lafayette residents even as chain businesses come in, compete and then close down for a variety of reasons. It holds the distinction of being the first and oldest Drive-in Restaurant in Indiana and was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Owners Greg & Carrie Ehresman explain the unusual name came from a brand of root beer. “Each X is a rating, with one X standing for good, two for better and three, best of all… hence, Triple XXX.”
