About

An irresistible icon along the original Route 66, Ted Drewes has served hot fudge sundaes, ice cream sodas and creamy “concretes” for more than 90 years. Created in 1959, the concrete is a malt or shake so thick that it’s served upside down! Don’t miss this landmark custard stand along your journey.
