THE Root Beer Stand at Indian Lake

If you’re looking for a little dose of nostalgia, The Root Beer Stand is the place to be! The kids absolutely love grabbing hotdogs, sipping on root beer floats, and finishing it off with a round of putt putt — it’s such a simple joy! It’s places like this that make our community feel a little more magical. 💛

The staff and food here are absolutely killer!!! Everyone is very polite, professional, and friendly! The hand dipped milkshakes are awesome, get the butter pecan and thank me later! They also redid the course, batting cages, and business beautifully! So nice to see local businesses sticking around and giving an awesome atmosphere for families of all sizes!

My dad and I got our dinner from the root beer stand this evening. I had the sloppy Joe, the Mac and cheese, and the pretzels with beer cheese. My dad got the chili cheese dogs with onions. We split the pretzels and beer cheese and Mac and cheese it was more than enough for the 2 of us. His only complaint was that he felt like I wasted my money on the 2nd hot dog as the 1st one filled him up. The sloppy Joe tastes about as homemade as you can get it is so good and the sandwich was so big. The pretzels were just lightly crisp on the outside soft warm and delicious on the inside. The warm beer cheese was the absolute perfect compliment to the pretzels. It was awesome and I think this will be our new weekly stop.

Pretty standard american food. We both had burgers which were okay but nothing really impressive. Will come back to get coneys. The tots were expertly fried and deep golden brown- they stole the show. Edited to respond and add that extra star- because they cared enough to ask. I think the only thing lacking in the burger was possibly seasoning the patty. Toppings were good and fresh and bun was very good. This could also be on me as I may have been able to request well done or extra seasoning. Im no burger master myself- but typically in my old neck of the woods we often got burgers from Swensons or Culvers so that would be my basis of comparison. The fact that you asked how to be better speaks to the commitment you clearly have to making great food and that definitely deserves the extra

This place is a gem, great quality food, friendly people and I love the nostalgia! It’s an amazing addition that was brought back to life, while maintaining all of its original charm, for our Indian Lake community and visitors from all around to enjoy. It’s a must try! The foot longs are enormous and delicious and the Shell Yeah burger is the best! And don’t forget about the RootBeer floats, so yummy, brings you back to being a kid, Don’t miss out!
