"You can often spot Ted Drewes Frozen Custard by the long line that’s snaked around the front of the building. Located on Chippewa Street—a designated section of the historic U.S. Route 66—the ice-cream shop is a St. Louis institution for its extra-thick, extra-smooth frozen custard. The go-to order here is a concrete, which Ted Drewes allegedly invented in 1959. It’s similar to a milk shake, but with custard so thick it’s served upside down, and comes with mix-ins like candy, fruit, and marshmallows. If you’d rather leave the decisions to someone else, go for specialty versions like the Cardinal Sin (with tart cherries and hot fudge) or the Hawaiian (with pineapple, banana, coconut, and macadamia nuts)."

Concrete: vanilla frozen custard + desired ingredients, blended into velvety perfection. The source material for STL-native Danny Meyer’s Shake Shack.

I've been going here for 50+ years. I've never had a single bad experience. No exaggerations... and I grade pretty hard. The employees are hard workers who have to move at a pace that doesn't offer a lot of time for chit-chat, but it pays off in their ability to keep those famous lines moving so you can get that creamy custard. Ted Drewes is a St. Louis iconic treasure that is one of the strong pillars that forms the foundation in having an authentic St. Louis experience. It's a MUST visit! For anyone seeing the pictures, my dog only got a little of my custard. It was his first trip and LOVED it! 💜 It really is good, guys... and gals!

Such a cute place! The custard is so so creamy and the flavors are divine! It was fun to get to stroll through the Christmas trees and see their museum/gift shop. My dad lived in St. Louis in the 90s and still can't stop talking about their custard. Wonderful place!

This is honestly the best ice cream/custard I’ve ever had. I ordered a concrete with chocolate custard and Oreo, and it was delicious! The service was super fast, too. I wish they had locations where I live. There are a lot of Dairy Queens in my area, but Ted Drewes is even better. I highly recommend stopping here if you’re traveling through the area, as it’s definitely worth it! While there, I also recommend checking out the gift shop and museum across the parking lot.

I got coconut and brownie. It is a must try if you are in St.Louis. There is no seating. I loved it better than ice cream. It is not too sweet.

The popular local ice-cream store in the busy area. It opens until 10 pm late at night. While we came at 9:50 pm, they had a full stock of ice-cream and frozen yogurt. Tried the vanilla cone as it's creamy and crispy in the cone. The other one I tried is the mini size of Pistachio. Though it's the smallest one, the frozen custard is not so less and makes me feel really satisfied.

Tried this place on my trip to St.Louis. I ordered a vanilla cup. The custard was just delicious. It was so creamy, smooth and shiny. This place is packed with people so you would have to get in a queue and wait a little. There is plenty of parking nearby. I would definitely recommend it! MUST TRY!!

Saint Louis staple. Disappointed that the ONLY non dairy option was an orange slush, it would be nice if they at least had a couple more flavors of slush. But this is a custard place, just hoped that like many other ice cream places there would at least be more than one option (limited to one favor) for non-dairy.

Just came to St. Louis and HAD to try Ted Drewes frozen custard based on all the hype. This place was popping even at night, but the line moved super fast thanks to the efficient workers. They have a crazy selection of flavors and mix-ins, but I went for a classic concrete (basically a super thick milkshake) with oatmeal cookie pieces. It was pure, creamy, dreamy! You can eat in the parking lot or just stand outside. Price point is also very affordable. Overall, I'll definitely be back to try all the other flavors next time.
