the customer service is amazing and the root beer floats but the chilli is appalling. it used to be kind of decent but I have no idea what happened to it now. if it was better they'd get even more business. almost everyone loved a good chilli dog. I know it's inexpensive but I'll pay a little bit more for better quality.

Left Michigan over 25 years ago, but can’t come back to visit family without taking the kids to The Rootbeer Stand. No other rootbeer compares.Kid-friendliness: Kids loved the rootbeer and the popcorn and the drive-up experience ❤️

This is like an old-timey drive-in restaurant without the roller skates. The food is not gourmet, but it's really good. It's not like regular Coney dogs with big chunks of meat in the chili, but the chili cheese with mustard hot dog is absolutely great. It's been a staple in my family since I was a child.

Great little drive in. The coney dogs are a bit different than I've had but they're tasty. And the root beer is great. I recommend getting some to take home. Prices are very reasonable. The staff was very friendly and quick. A+

The place is like it was when we were younger!! You pull up and someone comes to your vehicle and takes your order. Once your order is complete they bring it to your vehicle and you roll your window up to accommodate a tray that hangs on there!! You pay your bill at that time and enjoy!! Once you're done with your meal, you honk your horn and they come get the tray!! Be sure to tip your waitresses!! By all means be sure to get a Root Beer or buy some to take home!! You'll be glad you did!!

This place is a local treasure. I’ve been coming here since I was a child. Most “out-of-towners” can’t appreciate that fact. Stop in and support a cherished part of Kalamazoo history. And remember to bring cash, because they don’t accept cards.

I love that the Root Beer Stand is still here locally in Kalamazoo.. so many local businesses are going out of business ?♀️. I pray that this place that makes many years of memories with family will be able to stay strong and thrive! ❤️

Service was great, but the food is honestly not good. Fiance and I got hotdogs (chilli cheese and cheese) and the quality was just not there. We didn’t even finish 2/5 of our hotdogs we got. If it wasn’t a 2.5hr ride back to IL I probably wouldn’t have ate more than a bite, but I had to justify the purchase.
