The line was long but it went very fast. The menu is simple but yummy. Try it concrete style-they whip all of your toppings into the custard. Basically it's vanilla custard you have have options-cone, cup, shake and you can have about any topping you can think of.

Yep, it is good. Concretes are like thick shakes, or a Wendy's Frosty. The Smore's flavor was amazing....chunks of graham crackers, so yummy. Cookie dough had nice sized chunks as well. Get the min (smallest) size because the portions are huge, can't imagine eating one of the larges! Parking was a little crazy on a hot Saturday afternoon (wedding party... More

I've eaten at some pretty good frozen custard places, and this tops them all. I go there pretty often and and always impressed with how good the custard is. One time I went in January or February... It was a Wed night at 9:30, it was 30 degrees out and there were 20 people in line! It's that good. Oh,... More

It was fun to visit this historic landmark on the old Route 66. A parking lot packed with cars and patrons, and yet, a very efficient staff. There was no wait in spite of the 70+ people in line. I'm not a fan of frozen custard, and therefore the 3 stars. But it was worth the experience. A piece of... More

It's just custard for gawd's sake! Our friends (locals) took us there but they couldn't explain the crowd either. Considering there is another Ted Drewes nearby that is serving the same stuff and doesn't have nearly the same crowd the experience of just being with a hundred people eating custard must be the explanation. OK, it was good custard but... More

Based upon friends recommendations, we headed here after a Cardinals game. We were a little turned off by the huuuuuge line, but rest assured it moves quickly and is WELL worth the wait. The frozen custard is the best I've ever had, even better than places in Wisconsin. The prices were excellent as well. I suggest checking out their website... More

We stopped while doing the route 66. The Dutchman concrete milkshake was just incredible. A must stop in Saint Louis.

This jem is a little off the beaten path but well worth the detour. Lots of fresh flavor combinations that match up well with the wonderful creamy custard. Service is fast even though there is often a line up, but hat gives you lots of time to think about what to try. Portions are generous and the banana split can... More
