Ted Drewes Frozen Custard is legendary in St. Louis and among Route 66 travelers. It is located on Chippewa St. and Prather Ave. There's another shop on s, Grand in St. Louis, but the very first stand was in St. Petersburg Florida.

x The original five service window stand was later expanded to twelve service windows. From the day after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve you can buy a Christmas tree here. There is no inside seating here, just outdoor walk up order windows. There may be a few park benches along the adjacent Prather Avenue otherwise be prepared to eat in your car or stand around on the sidewalk while enjoying your frozen custard.

Ted Sr. seems to have liked tennis as witnessed by his having won the Muny tennis championship annually from 1926 to 1935.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
