My family and I love coming to The Original Root Beer Stand. The food is great and the service is always great as well. Be aware that this place is cash or check only. For a family of five I spent about $50. It is an old time type drive up burger stand.

A great place, full of memories! I went on a Saturday afternoon, there was parking available for car service (take away also available). Server was friendly and accommodating. Ordered a jr. Bacon cheeseburger, onion rings and a soda - all very reasonably priced and delicious! I also ordered 1.5 gallons of their root beer, for memories' sake. (Make sure you keep it in a cooler if you're traveling a long distance!) After so many years, I'm still so happy to eat here and will come back year after year!

I couldn’t even get into the parking lot due to a Honda CRv parked inthe middle and the employees did nothing about it, Sat in my vehicle for 40 minutes AFTER I ORDERED , while the groups of kids working stood in a circle talking instead of making the food , asked the lady if I can pay with card and she told me I need to go to the bank and get cash, like she could have told me she takes cash only when she took my order , instead I just wasted an hour of my time watching the employees talk to each other

The food is delicious, and everything is so cheap!! I just ate here for the first time in a few years and it was as good as ever. The car hops provide quick and friendly service. It took less than 10 minutes to order and get my food too.

Chicken sandwiches are great so are the fried mushrooms. The coney dogs weren’t that great, could have just been that day, they were busy.

Definitely don’t recommend coming here. Waited to be served car hop style. Two other vehicles pulled up and there were served first, never asked if we were taken care of, nothing. Waited for 20 minutes

Service Was super fast cost was moderate priced for most things. Coney dog first bite the flavor the taste was amazing and then boom the heat hit. I wasn't really expecting that wish,they had a way to make the Coney sauce without that extra burn. That follows behind it because it did. Have an amazing flavor till the heat kicks in. Hot dog and bun was perfect. Just way too hot for our family's taste. And normally when we do the b and k or a and w root beer, we buy a 12 to 24 pack each time. We saw the photos for the Italian beef online thought it looked very similar to where my husbands would get near the border of Illinois when he was growing up ..when we got at home, it looked like roast beef that came from the deli that was warmed up and cheese on top of it it And no ways near the same amount of meat on our sandwich that was shown in a previous photo that was posted to their website. Was very, very disappointing. Cheese fries were amazing ...fries were crispy. Cheese sauce was perfect. Onion rings, we're awesome. Maybe a smidge over cooked, but still had a really good flavor with them, breaded tenderloin awesome. Pizza puffs were amazing. Root beer was very surpy, sweet and flat. Not sure if this is how their root beer is compared to other root beer stands because we hadn't had it before. We also got a barbecue sandwich. It was a little skimpy on the amount of meat that was on there but Had a good flavor
We definitely will be back for the fry's. Onion rings, tenderloins, pizza puffs, corn dogs and if they change their sauce to where it's not hot or come across with a milder sauce for their Coney. We definitely will really be hitting those. Because everything was perfect on that with the exception of the heat. But we won't purchase the Italian beef. Based on what we got last time AT$9.50 a sandwich

Love this place!!! The best Root beer

Place rarely open despite hours posted here. Only takes cash.

Great food and service but in the summer it’s always busy so not a place to go to if you want some quiet time but great for kids too!

Being a family establishment there should be high chairs available or at least seating with backs for young kids. Not having that is a major safety hazard.
