Mr Weenie

I absolutely loved this place. Quick service, delicious food, and a huge menu. Actually the menu can be a little intimidating, so if you're not sure what to get definitely trust the opinion of whoever comes to take your order because we got some amazing suggestions from them.We went when it was on the warmer side out. I'm not sure what the place is like when it's cold out... but wow was the Smashburger good, fries were very tasty, and they got the biggest sodas you've seen in years. We even got some merch.If I'm ever back through this way, we will definitely be stopping again.

Good: Quick service. Picnic tables. Amazing pricing. Cash/card. Small town business Cons; Cheeseburger felt basic and dry. Apple fries aren't even a thing on menu but still posted. Maybe try a variety of items to see what good. Root beer float is amazing!

Been driving by for years and finally stopped. So glad we did! It was a great experience and I loved the Chicago Dog.. My son was very happy with his double cheese burger basket and my daughter loved the patty melt basket. Very reasonably priced. Quick and helpful service. No complaints and we will be going back. It's so nice to have a drive in open in the cold!

Worst food I have ever eaten in Peru, IN. Got the tenderloin platter which comes with tenderloin sandwich, krinkle fries and slaw. The actual tenderloin was very thin and was almost all breading (no kidding the meat was as thin as the thickness of a penny). The fries were soggy, undercooked and cold in the center. The slaw was good. Had to ask for ketchup (server didn't bring any) and had to ask for our drinks (server forgot them). Seriously this was bad and I will not be back. Plenty of other places to eat with better food.

Just a classic drive-in restaurant with concession level food but a great name and old school feel. The prices can't be beat and they even have "It's Mr. Weenie Time" shirts and boxers for sale. Definitely worth the stop if you're in the area.

I had been looking forward to trying Mr. Weenie ever since I first saw it as I rode past while out on other errands several times. Sadly, it was nothing like what I expected. Pulling in, the grounds appeared to be quite clean. The area underneath the awning was shady and looked like it would be a comfortable place to sit. We chose to remain in our vehicle and turned on our headlights for curbside service after briefly looking over the menu. They had a few exotic sounding items such as a hot dog whose name made me think it must have come with pineapple on it. A carhop waitress came over right away. She wasn't rude but was a bit curt. The server quickly took down our order and asked for my credit card before she had even put in the order. I thought that was a bit backwards, and it had me wondering whether they have had problems with patrons taking off without paying. It felt odd to be asked to pay and tip before knowing fully what the service was like.The menu items were inexpensive, but we soon realized why. The portions were pretty small. Our breaded mushroom order only came with a small handful of se en of them. No dipping sauce or condiments of any kind were offered. Neither were napkins. The cheese fries were frozen crinkle cuts that did not taste like they had been cooked all the way through. The cheese seemed to be nothing more than melted American. My friend's root beer float was good, apparently, except for being served in styrofoam instead of a glass mug. I chose to get a small cream soda. I received RED cream soda though, which was okay, but it wasn't what I expected. It was indeed small, and the cup mostly consisted of crushed ice. And, it too, was served in styrofoam. No one asked if we wanted anything else, and a different, friendlier girl collected our tray. Never saw the waitress I tipped again. I've heard that Mr. Weenie has a pretty good tenderloin, but going by what we had, I'd say the food was less than "meh." I'm glad I didn't opt to get a t-shirt or one of their other items on sale when we pulled in because I just can't see being a walking advertisement for them. I don't see any reason to return. Which is a shame because I'm told they are open year-round. Even though it's pricier and closed now until Spring, I would much rather visit B&K in Rochester again. This experience was just another reason to stay out of Peru. With so few options in town, it sucks that this couldn't have been a better choice for a midday snack attack.

It's a great old fashioned drive in with tons of options. The hotdogs perfectly delicious and everything you could want in a dog. My husband had the Spanish dog, and I would definitely come back for it. My classic with relish, onions, ketchup, and mustard was everything I was looking for. And the staff was very friendly and attentive.

Passing through Peru and thought this would be a good place to grab a quick bite to eat. Marketing is pretty funny and sure does grab attention. They have a big variety on the menu with prices that are very hard to find these days. I had the Spanish dog which didn't stand out any. The weiner looked to be boiled and the chili had no flavor. To make things worse my date had to pull a hair from her weiner... causing us to not finish our meal. We inspected the rest of our food and found that our 32oz root beer was 3/4 full and no seasoning to be found on the fries. No more weiner time for us

Fun old drive in style service. Had the Chicago style dog and it was really good!! All beef dogs, juicy and hot! Service was great. Fun off the beaten track stop!

Mr Weenie is a drive in only restraunt. It's in a little the town of Peru. I first saw it maybe 10 years ago but never stopped in. My wife and I were passing by the area and felt we had to try it. It reminded me of the old time drive in places. You pull into a spot flash your lights if needed to signal you are ready to order. Service was prompt. Menu is limited but good for a driver in. Food came out in a short period of time and it was still hot. They left the tray on the window as expected. Prices were good, portion sizes were good. I found the food quality and taste were also good. What makes this place a must try is that is a drive in. There is an awning in case it's raining. Server was friendly and equipment was clean and in good order. Place was not packed but there seemed to be quite a few cars doing the same thing we were. I enjoyed it. Overall a good experience. Would I stop there again. If I find myself passing thru the area again I would definitely stop back in.
