Happy Root Beer Float Day!2 min read

Lucky for all of us in Cincinnati we have the premier spot for the most delicious floats in town!

The Root Beer Stand in Sharonville is the coolest little diner that serves up some great grub including footlong chili dogs and more but obviously specializes in FLOATS!  What makes their floats any different you ask?? Well, lets start with the fact that they have their own water well underground that has water with a different mineral make up.  The root beer is mixed up on site and doesn’t have overwhelming carbonation so the foam doesn’t take over the drink!

The Stand has been around since 1957and is still going strong serving up over 40 gallons of ice cream and sometimes 700-800 gallons of root beer a week and about 600 to 700 footlongs a day with their homemade chili and cheese made fresh daily. It originally opened as an A & W Root Beer and was the hotspot with the travelers because at the time that was the main drag from Michigan to Florida. The same equipment and great ingredients are still used today.. why change it if it ain’t broke :)

It is a business that has only changed hands a couple times and the granddaughter and daughter of the original owners still works the grill! So say hi to Sue when you stop in.

Now that I brought a jug of root beer home it is a hit at my house and I make my sister who lives in Sharonville bring some every time she comes over. They say the best way to enjoy it is served ice cold no ice!

•They have a fantastic baseball hat collection on the wall that started when a trucker came through and left his hat so they hung it up thinking he would see it the next time he came through. Well, a competitor trucker came through and said wait a minute I want my company hat up there and so there it started!
