Editorial Review for Ted Drewes Frozen Custard – by Krishna Knabe
The Scene
Nearly as popular with tourists as the Arch, St. Louis' favorite frozen custard stand has been in the same spot since the early '30s. Located along the legendary Route 66, tens of thousands of people over the years have ordered custard treats from the walk-up windows, where the lines can stretch to the street. On summer nights, the parking lot is a regular town hall, with St. Louisans from every walk of life chatting about baseball and the insufferable humidity.
The Food
What's the difference between ice cream and frozen custard? In one word: smooth. Here, the best way to get your custard is in a concrete. Try an old favorite like a Flying Dutchman or a Terramizzou or create your own from the flavors on the board. As a rule, the servers turn the concretes upside down before giving them to you, so don't look surprised.

Insider Tips
Holiday SpiritIn the winter, the concretes are replaced by Ted Drewes Christmas Trees.
Need a Fix?If you can't get to one of the two locations, look for Ted's scrumptious custard at Schnuck's and other spots around town.

There's just nothing like Ted Drewes! Better to spport your local businesses than the big guys I always say. Locally owned and operated, Ted Drewes is the best frozen custard! Lines may be long on hot summer days, but one bite/lick/taste of Ted Drewe's frozen custard and you realize how great it tastes!
Pros: It's the best!
Cons: Long lines in summer/holidays
