Nothing will ever beat "Dog n Suds" Best drive in when I was a kid.   And still the BEST Root beer I have ever tasted!!!

Ahh yes the "Dog n Suds", loved that place and A&W as a kid.

We still have a very nice 50s drive in still operating here in southeast Wisconsin during the summer months called "WAYNES DRIVE-IN"

We always take my 47 chevy there on Thursday nights when they have the car hops on roller skates!!

There are still about 20 Dog N Suds left, mostly in Illinois and Michigan. I think this company owns the brand,
www.dognsudsbrand.com. They have a locations link. I have one about 25 miles from me but don't get there too often. The only one in Missouri and it is circa 1960s!

I remember the A&W in our town from when I was a kid.  It was our favorite, but it's long gone now.  We have 2 Sonic's and I don't care for the food, but their shakes are fantastic.  The peanut butter and banana version is great, we went by all the time during their 1/2 price summer shake deal.

  We use to have the A&W drive-in also.. On the weekends it was packed. There was always a line of cars waiting to get in.. I don't know what happened to all those A&W's it was like one day they were here and next thing they were gone.. They use to be all over Minnesota now I don't think we have any.. There are several along the hwy that are vacant. You cant miss the style of the building they had. I sure do miss those!

  I wish we still had them here.. With all this talk about A&W's I could really go for a root beer in a frosty mug with a burger basket..  drinking

We've had Sonic around here for over 15 years. I don't think they've ever gotten my order right.
