Dog n Suds Drive-in
Ingleside, IL
This Dog n Suds was built in 1967. For more, see their website.

Dog n Suds Drive-in
Loves Park, IL
This Dog n Suds opened in 1968. At some point, the restaurant closed. The building housed a car lot and video store from 1997-2006. In 2006, it returned to operation as a Dog n Suds. For more, see their website.

Dog n Suds Drive-in
Paragould, AR
This Dog n Suds Drive-in is another old location with the original canopy and sign. The canopy has been boxed up and no longer has the red plastic "Root Beer" lettering. The Char-Co Burger part of this pole sign was evidently not unique. There are others in Alsip, IL (see next page) and Columbus (below).

former Dog n Suds Drive-in
Columbus, OH
This Dog n Suds Drive-in looked like this originally. I have not seen a Dog n Suds with a secondary canopy like this. From the vintage photo, it was clearly there from the beginning. I believe this location opened in 1960. The Char-Co Burgers sign panel was changed to Texas Bar-B-Cue when the building was occupied by Yoho's. The building now houses the Mogadishu Internet Cafe.

Dog n Suds Drive-in
Elyria, OH
The Elyria Dog n Suds Drive-in opened in 1966.

Dog n Suds Drive-in
Cherokee Pass, MO
This Dog n Suds Drive-in is the last location left in Missouri. It appears to be from the 1960s.

Dog n Suds Drive-in
Lafayette, IN
This Dog n Suds Drive-in opened in 1956. However, this canopy looks new. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.

Dog n Suds Drive-in
West Lafayette, IN
This Dog n Suds Drive-in was built in 2005. This sign is also new. The dog faces right and the arrow uses neon instead of bulbs. For more, see this website.


Hum-Dinger Drive-in
Kansas City, MO
The Hum-Dinger Drive-in is a former Dog n Suds. The canopy has been walled up to create interior space. The sign has been reworked with the dog's head changed to a man's head. The hot dog and root beer mug are now what appears to be fried chicken and French fries. I don't believe the sign is lit at night.


McHenry Auto Sales
McHenry, IL
Harry's Restaurant
Lakeland, FL
Jenk's Pizza
Dale, IN
Witter-Davis Furniture
Springville, NY
McHenry Auto Sales has adapted a Dog n Suds Drive-in sign and canopy.

Harry's Restaurant and Jenk's Pizza also have adapted Dog n Suds Drive-in signs.

This Witter-Davis Furniture sign appears to be another adapted Dog n Suds Drive-in sign. I don't know if there were any locations built in New York.

Train Diner
Murdo, SD		 former Dog n Suds Drive-in
Elkhorn, WI
The Train Diner sign at the Original 1800 Town tourist attraction is a repurposed Dog n Suds Drive-in sign.

This former Dog n Suds Drive-in in Elkhorn now houses Annie's Burger Town.

Coney Hut Drive Inn
Jonesville, MI
The Coney Hut Drive Inn moved into this former Dog n Suds in the late 1970s. This drive-in still features car hops.
