| B&K Root Beer Rochester, IN |
 |
 |
| This B&K Root Beer has an oval sign which I have not seen elsewhere. It's too wide to have been an A&W sign. [map] |

 |
 |
| 2025: | |

 |
| Dwyer's B&K Root Beer began operating as Moyer's Cruise-in around 2016 and the BK sign was covered up. Around 2019, it was renamed Silver Lake BK Root Beer and a new BK sign was installed. It closed again and then reopened in 2024 as Nancy Jo's BK. [map] |

 |
| 2025: | |

| former B&K Root Beer Coldwater, MI |

| This former B&K Root Beer stand was built in 1955. It housed Allen's Root Beer Drive-in since around 1980. These photos are from 2011. In 2013, this stand had become Short's Drive-in. [map] |

B&K Drive-in Van Wert, OH |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
The B&K Drive-in in Akron appeared to be from the 1950s. The place was closed in 2018. By 2023, the building had been demolished and a new building was going up at the site.
The B&K Drive-in in Van Wert opened around 1955. The neon sign is similar to the one in Kokomo, IN. For more, see this website. [map] |
| B&K Drive-in Cuyahoga Falls, OH |

 |
| This B&K Drive-in has been around since at least 1961. It probably opened in the 1950s. [map] |
| BK Root Beer Drive-in Sidney, OH |
|

 |
| The B&K Root Beer Drive-in is probably from the 1950s or 1960s. [map] |
| Root Beer Drive-in Wadsworth, OH |
 |
| The canopy supports at the Root Beer Drive-in look like inverted versions of those in Coldwater, MI described above. I'm told that this was originally an A&W and that it became a B&K later. This location has been closed since around 2022. [map] |
