Ted Drewes

Ted Drewes is a frozen custard stand known for its concretes, the thick custard blends that are so dense they can be turned upside down. The menu also includes sundaes, malts, shakes, floats, old-time ice cream sodas and cookie sandwiches, along with signature flavors like the Cardinal Sin, Crater Copernicus and Muddy Mississippi. Ted Drewes has been serving custard since 1929 and is run by the family's fourth generation.

The Chippewa location on historic Route 66 is open daily, roughly from late morning until about 10:30 at night. Customers pick a size, a flavor and any of more than thirty mix-ins, and the stand also sells quarts, pints and pre-frozen minis. Gift cards are available, and the business sells Christmas trees and wreaths in season.
