Mugs-Up Root Beer is a beloved and historic spot that has been serving customers for over 60 years. This small, retro-style drive-in offers loose meat burgers, hot dogs, crispy fries, and breaded mushrooms, all made fresh to order. Their signature root beer is a must-try, served in a frosty mug or a gallon jug for a sweet treat. Many customers love to buy a gallon jug of root beer to go, and the root beers are considered some of the best in town. The friendly service and nostalgic atmosphere make it a special place to visit, offering a different experience from typical restaurants. The car hop style is old school, with staff known for being polite and efficient, even during busy times. Whether diners choose the Whiz Burger, the Super Burger, or the all beef hot dog, they can expect comforting and tasty food that brings back memories. The tots are cooked to perfection every time, and the experience is enhanced by orders delivered on a tray that hooks onto the car window. Though some recent visits didn't match the nostalgic feel, overall, Mugs-Up Root Beer remains a favorite for families and anyone craving a delicious, unique dining experience.
