My mom grew up coming here. Came for the family memories. Stayed for the root beer floats. And you don’t get drive-in service like this anymore! Thanks to the whole team 🍺

Best sandwiches and hotdogs in town waitresses are always so nice cant go wrong except for the price

★★★★☆ 4.0 A Snyder · Sep 2023

I'll start with the best part. The root beer is so good!! We usually have to grab a gallon to bring home. It just hits differently than anywhere else in town. I was slightly disappointed this season it appeared the chili sauce was changed. It was a different color. The flavor was slightly off. Not bad but not great. I don't like that when using a debit card there is no where on the receipt to leave a tip. It is a great place for a little nostalgia. I have been going to the root beer stand since I was a kid. Gone are the days of goofy golf. I would love if they did that again. It would be fun to experience that with my kids. A Foot long chilli dog with cheese and onion and a bag of Andi Caps has been my favorite thing to get since I was probably old enough to order it. The chicken sandwich

Good food that brings back the nostalgia. The rootbeer is so good, my husband buys a gallon when he goes.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Tyna Derhay · May 2024

The food was average, at best, and the service, sadly, was less than average. We arrived about 20 minutes before closing, and the waitress was visibly and verbally upset that we were there. Keep in mind, this is a place to mainly get hotdogs and fried sides and sit in your car to eat them. You never go inside the building. The waitress rushed over to us and asked what she could get us, "TO GO" and when we said we hadn't been there before and didn't know the menu, she rolled her eyes, tossed her head back and said, "I'll get you one of the small menus." She brought it back, we decided in about 2 minutes and ordered. The food was nothing to comment on other than to say the hotdog sauce was a pasty texture and not a good flavor. I had one bite and opted to just eat the potato salad ins
