The Rootbeer Stand

Great ice cream and very friendly staff. Would give 5 stars but I just felt like the place needed a good sitting cleaning and maybe a little freshening up

Best homemade rootbeer ever! Ordered food by pushing button below the menu board outside. Reasonable prices. Peanut butter crush sundae, as well as pineapple sundae, was small but tasted great. Kind waitress.

We were on our way home from Wisconsin and we live in Illinois so we decided to stop by the Root beer stand and check them out. I think we've been here before but it's been quite a while. When we pulled and we did notice that there was indoor dining but we decided to just use the drive-up. When we pulled up to the Box we placed our order and she told us it would be about a 25-minute wait but we only waited maybe 18 minutes. Once we received the food everything was there and accurate also came with salt and ketchup which was nice that we didn't need to ask for it. A few of us got the bacon cheeseburger and there was definitely too much Mayo on it so it kind of drowned it out the meat taste. We also got a side of onion rings just so we could taste them and then a couple of us got chili dogs to share just to see what that tasted like. It was a sad looking chili dog, not my favorite but it did taste okay. The root beer float was good and the large was a nice size however I think $4 was kind of steep for that size of cup. We would more than likely go back to visit again in the future if we're driving through Oglesby.

We love stopping here on our road trips! It's a hidden gem if you're looking to stop close to Bloomington without all the fuss. They have clean bathrooms, a kind staff and they're family friendly with high chairs and kids cups. My favorite part of dining in is that hospitality of keeping your hot coffee mug nice and full.
