For years my family and I would only come here to get ice cream but I just took my daughter and we decided to get food. It was incredible!! The service was great and the atmosphere was good. I highly recommend this place if you are in the area!!

A home town place that has been around for ever!! Great jug burger and fries with a root beer. Get 1 fries and share!! I've never said that's too many fries before lol. The burgers are fried crispy on the edges and just melt in your mouth. The summer isn't complete till you have a jug burger.

You can't be disappointed here.. 90 years family owned in business and successful. The classic Americana feel of a 1950s drive in restaurant. Nothing here has changed. High quality meat and amazing root beer and Floats. Everything on the menu is worth ordering. Again I can't say enough... This is like stepping back in time and the taste of the hamburger nearly makes a young man know what it was like to taste the amazing food and old-time feel of what American used to be and should be like again!

Stopped by today for lunch for the first time. We love Root Beer stands and this one is no exception. Pull in style restaurant with a family feel and great service. Went with the chili dog, Middie, and the Mac daddy. The peanut butter on the Middie was certainly an interesting twist and the Mac daddy was spectacular. Chili dog was messy in a good way, and the root beer was top notch. Definitely go check them out this summer!
