Have you ever eaten at a root beer stand? How often and would you go again?

Question

A root beer stand is a type of restaurant (they serve usually short order foods such as hamburgers and fries soups etc {also called a drive-in}) where you drive in the parking lot, and a server (better known as car hops) will take your order right from your car or if you prefer you can also go to a picnic table in the yard. Once your order is taken, they will go inside the building, and wait on other customers, and once your order is ready, they will bring it out to your car with a special tray that can attatch to your window of your car, and you and eat it in your car. Food is usually very good.

Most root beer stands are family owned where I am from.

Answer 1

A&W, we still have them around here, car hops and all........the food is good, and the rootbeer is the best around, and they still use the little trays that hook onto the door of your car............the only thing that is different than it was twenty years ago is that the rootbeer now comes in paper cups with lids, when i was a kid you got it in a huge, heavy frosty mug made from very thick glass with the company logo on it...

Answer 2

Oh yeah. But the A&W's don't have the carhops and trays where I live. Too bad, now they are just like McDonalds but with better burgers. Sonic is good too and still brings it to your car.The wife and kids go to Sonic fairly often. I live in the town with the first Sonic drive in which is still open.

Forgot to mention, I had an English root beer once and it did taste like medicine. They need A&W or Hires over there I guess.

Answer 3

Does Sonic drive in count? It's more of a big chain but yeah I like to go there often, have a burger or a conney which is basically a chili dog, and they have a wide range of items including root beer floats mmm.
