Editorial Review for Mug-n-Bun Drive-In Restaurant – by Julia Spalding
The Scene
One of a handful of original drive-in restaurants in the area, Mug-n-Bun continues to hang trays of burgers and fries on customers' car windows at this squat cement block building. Mug-n-Bun has nothing to do with all that funky retro stuff that new eateries are trying to replicate with their spanking-new Naugahyde and Coca-Cola color schemes. Mug-n-Bun's unflattering yellow and brown paint and no-nonsense car-hops--not on roller skates, thank you very much--is the real deal. Turn on your headlights when you're ready to order, and don't honk your horn under any circumstance.
The Food
Get ready for some old-fashioned double cheeseburgers with Wonderbread slices between the patties, wagon wheel breaded tenderloins, Coney dogs, and large onion rings. Wash it all down with Mug-n-Bun's own supersweet, frothy root beer. Get it with a dollop of soft-serve ice cream, and you've got the perfect root beer float.

This is the best drive-in in town. Service has always been good and food is good. A must go to drive-in restuarant.
Pros: Good food
Cons: none I can think of.

This is my first message. I am origianlly from Speedway and was a car hop (earrly and mid 60's) for the Mug n Bun when owned by Morris May and my dad owned the gas station across the street, now known as the tobacco road (gas pumps that are there were my dad's that originate back to 1964). The Mug n Bun has kept the fine tradition of the best conies, real french fries, and root beer since Morris opened it from day 1. I am proud to say the service is still just acceptional as always. I was away from the area for over 30 years, but now i never want to leave so I can still go back to visit memories of a wonderful time in 50's and 60's that Mug N Bun still preserves for all of us who call Speedway home. Let the atmosphere of the car hops remind you of what good service is.
