All my life ever since I was a tiny little child I've been eating at two main B&K locations...????????...I've tried others, but trust me, these are the best...???????? This one, which is in Marion, Indiana, and the other location I've always frequented is the one in Gas City, Indiana, and I also wanna give an honorable mention to the one location in Wabash, Indiana, because outta these locations mentioned they are the absolute best in service and food quality...????✔️ Spanish????Hotdogs with Cheese and Spanish Cheese Fries and a Root Beer is as yummy as it gets when it comes to this Classic Americana Treat...???????????? Trust in me when I say that these are the best Coney Dog style versions you'll ever get...believe me, this is where it's at if you love and dig this yummy kinda food...these dogs are lit...❤️
I absolutely love B&K in marion,indiana. I grew up going to this place.Spanish dogs and large root beer,yummy!! Right now I go and remember the memories of the past when my dad and mom took me and my sister and 3 brothers. These days I think of them cause,they have both passed away,and in Heaven!!
You know I didn't go to this location because it was closed, though I do go to the one in Marion. That said, when you are here, you get to gaze across the tracks at the beautiful mid-century looking bowling alley. Thompson's is also a real gem. I hope people appreciate both of them and that they do not get redeveloped into some modern garbage anytime soon.
They have a good staff this season. I've been a couple of times and they're always busy but I never have to wait very long and everyone is very very nice. The prices are a bit high but the food is some of the best in Marion which makes it worth it. Will always be back here.
Not as good as remember from a years ago. Hot dogs are just there for filling, they literally have no flavor, Spanish sauce has a sweet flavor that never had before. Still a neat experience to pull up and get waited on, then eat in the car, but i would not go here for the food, also, only one person waiting on over 10 cars, do not expect anything fast, the root beer on the other hand is great.
Marion, we have a problem.
Ever since I was a teen, 50 years ago, I loved getting a Spanish dog from B&K. For those of us of that age, remember Bud Ritters? When I saw that B&K was open this year, I was thrilled.
But things have changed. The Spanish dogs I received are not the ones I have waited for. The recipie has changed, and not for the good.
Over the winter the price went from $2.55 to $3.15. Inflation, I understand. But the cheaper sauce is not acceptable.
These are not good spanish dogs!
Good Bye B&K.
Terrible customer service! They serve raw food. They refuse to give refunds because the customer is not always right. They make false reports to the police. The police could have been at a real emergency. They don't know the difference between raw tenderloin and gristle. Acting like they've owned the place for 50 some years when they just bought it two years ago. Putting the original owners to shame. This is not how you run a business. Get over yourself.
Great food and very fast service there was only 1 waitress and at one point there was 14 vehicles there but she kept on it and didn't bat an eye running around there getting it done she handled it better then I've seen some handle 3 to 4 average tables of people at a restaurant. Prices are what they are these days can't blame the company just the economy... ps cash only just to worn you non cash carriers before you show up and complain lol
