Why Indiana's XXX Root Beer Thirst Station Is A Big Deal

Triple XXX root beer used to have soda stands, known as "thirst stations," across the country. However, there is now only one root beer thirst station in West Lafayette, Indiana.
When Indiana's Triple XXX Family Restaurant opened, thirst stations were at the height of their popularity. More than 100 root beer stands were in operation all across America.
Today, the Triple XXX Family Restaurant is the last remnant of a niche in America's culinary history. Root beer is the restaurant's namesake, but it also has excellent burgers.
The family owned and operated restaurant still proudly holds up the tradition of serving up deliciously cold root beer of the best quality, and even Guy Fieri loves their burgers.
