About The Original Root Beer Stand

The Original Root Beer Stand is a beloved dining spot in Culver, especially during summer. It is known for its delicious burgers, including the jr. Bacon cheeseburger, and coney dogs, all at budget-friendly prices with nothing over $10. Located close to the beach, it provides a quick bite after a swim, while its hilltop position offers a unique view of Lake Maxinkuckee. The drive-in has a charming appearance and creates a scenic setting that makes it a great place for families to gather. The service is consistently good, with car hops providing quick and friendly assistance. Portions are generous, and customers enjoy treats like hot fudge brownie sundaes topped with real whipped cream, as well as the ice cream and chicken. Visitors can pull up in golf carts for a convenient, tasty meal. Despite its seasonal closure, it remains a go-to spot for its views and affordable prices. It's important to note that this establishment is cash or check only. Parking can be tricky, especially since the area around the drive-in has speed bumps, which some find risky. Nonetheless, it continues to be a memorable destination for both locals and visitors.
