A Waukesha STAPLE – you must visit. The staff works really hard and puts out a great product. I recommend a frosty! Fun things to occupy the kids in the back, lots of picnic tables to enjoy your food/drinks at. Don’t forget about this place in winter–open year round!

Recommendation is a chili dog, although I’ve been keen on the fish sandwich as of late. Root beer is awesome. Service is always excellent. Good old fashioned drive in experience.

The people who work here are always so sweet. The food was amazing, as always! (I love the chicken parm sandwich!!) They make the best rootbeer you can buy and it’s always a treat to make it out here for us since we live further away.

My fiancé and I have been coming here for years. We just went back again today, and the prices went up substantially and the quality has gone down… my cheese curds were my favorite, and now they almost doubled in price and you get about half.:.. and now they are served like someone sat on them:.. we unfortunately will NOT be returning anymore. The root beer use to be AMAZING and worth the money… now the price has gone up again almost $10 a gallon, and the flavor is basically gone… so sad to see one of our favorite places going down hill!

Love this cute little place! Went there with my girlfriends. Awesome girls day! The diet root beer is so good and the food was even more amazing. I would eat there everyday if I could. Love it!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Jhon’s Root Beer Stand, a delightful establishment that left me thoroughly impressed with their refreshing root beer and outstanding customer service. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that this place had something special to offer.

Came here for the first time with my daughter today while we were in the area looking for somewhere to eat. We ordered a hot dog, Italian sausage, fries and a rootbeer. The hot dog and the Italian sausage was terribly bland and tasted like they both were left in boiling water all day. The sausage was super soft, almost falling apart and had a single piece of green pepper, also incredibly soft with no flavor like it had also sat in a water bath all day. Not to mention the marinara on it had ZERO flavor. The hot dog was a weird color (like yellowish/light brown – never seen a hot dog that color before!) My daughter took one bite and was like “Nope!” Their “famous” rootbeer was not cold and was almost flat. The only positives were that the fries were crispy and the girl that took our order was nice. We wanted to get ice cream after our meal but after our experience, we ended up going to Oscars down the street.
