What User likes about Jaenicke's Root Beer Stand:
Jaenicke is my white castle. We live in St. Joseph, Illinois, and because their reds are like cracks on a bun, I and my friends make random road trips in summer to go all the way up to a Jaenicke's fix. Better than any gourmet restaurant, this place is amazing food, good people and classic Americana. If they ever close, I could just die. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Jaenicke's Root Beer Stand:
This place has excellent root beer floats not a fan of their chili cheese dogs but I know a lot of people are if you're thinking about getting the barbecue sandwich don't I was definitely not impressed View all feedback.

Greatest hot dogs and root beer I've ever had. Fries with their special cheese are unbeatable. Been coming here since I was a kid.
