Ted Drewes Frozen Custard

Ted Drewes is a St. Louis frozen custard institution, famous for thick concretes served from a Route 66-era stand. It is a CityLens-worthy stop because the place itself feels like summer, roadside culture, and regional dessert tradition.

Ted Drewes has operated in St. Louis for generations and is closely tied to Route 66 food tourism.

Expect evening crowds in warm weather. The Chippewa location is the classic Route 66 stop.
