This Ted Drewes location is basically a smaller version of the Chippewa store. Same great frozen custard dishes, but scaled back both in size and hours. This location opens at 2 p.m. instead of 11 a.m. and closes at 10 p.m. Also, summer timing applies; open Memorial Day to Labor Day. Everything you’d want in a summertime treat. Mmmm… 😋 My favorite – the “Cardinal Sin”.

There’s a reason they’ve been around for almost 100 years … they’re that good!! And there’s always a queue of locals who know this is the best frozen yoghurt in the Midwest. I make a point of coming here every time I’m in STL. You should too.

Had to check it out when in town as was told it was a local treasure. The concrete ice cream was alright but the root beer flavour barely had any root beer flavour at all. Very disappointing.

Walk-up spot for some fantastic frozen custard. Large menu with lots of options to customize to your taste. The custard by itself was great. The mix-ins were overly generous. There was a line but it went quickly. Can see why this is a St Louis staple. I would buy it all the time if I lived in the area.

Try banana split here, it’s the best. Mind blowing ice creams. The best in St. Louis. The prices are unbelievable. They have maintained their quality ever since. I have known people visiting this place for decades now. The place isn’t very crowded usually.

My grandsun loves this place...the oldest has been coming since he was one... Now he has a little brotha he loves Ted Drewes too...thanks Ted Drewes for having hats, shirts and sunglasses because they ❤️ TDrewes and wanted to show support...

Top 5 of my my favorite places to go. I get the all shook up (peanut butter with banana and chocolate frozen custard) and myouth goes to heaven. I wish I could go there more often. would recommend to any body.

Yassssss!! Go and get you some Ted Drewes!!!!!!!!!! Good Quality Custard that's not expensive. My Favorite flavor is the Vanilla Custard!!!!!!

Ted Drewes has been around for 80 years and knows alot about custard. I am not a huge custard fan, but when in St. Louis it is a must try. All of the custards start out as vanilla and flavors are added. The custard is very creamy . They have many variations of combinations and varieties posted which is helpful. I tried the pistachio with chocolate. Service is quick and friendly. Prices are reasonable. When in St. Louis a must try... and in the winter they sell Christmas trees.

Heard about this place from someone local to me. They said it was a must try. And it was such a must we went 2 days in a row. First day I got one of the concrete mixers on the menu. Second day I got a root beer float. Both were very delicious. The service was amazing. They were fast and the friendliest people ever. Very family friendly. Not many places to sit though. So we ate in our car. Don't let the crowded parking lot or long lines scare you off. They go quick!!! Please tip these people. I gave them a tip and they were shocked. Poor people probably never get one. Or it's rare. They deserve it!

Where I'm from it's hard to find frozen custard, so my kids and I were excited for Ted Drewes. There are so many options and mix-ins that it's hard to choose. The place is a park and order at the walk up window set up. Then you wait and they call out your order. I saw so many interesting combinations being ordered along with the classics like strawberry shortcake. This custard is incredible. It's thick, creamy, and delicious. Open a shop in Texas!

I have come to prefer frozen custard over regular ice cream, so we stopped here while visiting St. Louis. The whole family loved it and found the flavors fresh with plenty of options. I prefer a thicker frozen dessert, so I would choose the sundae (toppings on top of the custard) over the concrete (toppings blended into the custard to make it the flavor) in the future because it seems like the blending process makes it softer and quicker to melt. The prices seemed pretty average for the portion size.

Someone recommended that I visit Ted Drewes for custards, and boy was he right! At first, I was confused by the nomenclature: concrete versus Sunday. Turns out, everything is made out of vanilla custard and they add the goodness into it. You can make it be whatever you want it to be. Tons of flavors. They are specials on the window if you don't know what to do. The service was fantastic. The customer comes out really quick and it's absolutely fabulous. There is no indoor seating. Everything is outdoor. Turns out Ted Drewes has been in business for about 100 years and is on Rt66!

A classic St Louis spot. I get the blueberry concrete. Always a delicious treat. Delicious custard

Had to try out the famous Ted Drewes frozen custard! Service was quick and the guy behind the counter was friendly. If you're a tourist just visiting St Louis like we are, make sure to go to the larger store on Chippewa St, since there's not much going on around the S Grand St area. We didn't know any better but that's okay- I enjoyed my Cardinal Sin concrete!

Nothing like a concrete on a warm day. Great way to cool of with a rich, sweet treat. It's a St Louis "must visit" for me.

Bill A.

It's a area wide favorite. Don't even try to go there after a cardinal game not wearing red. I wish there was more parking And a dream would be a bunch of chairs and tables.

If you do nothing else in St. Louis, at least stop by Ted Drewes. Parking can be crazy, and on a hot day there will be a line, but it is always worth it. The custard is perfectly creamy, rich, and full of flavor. It's one of the few places that the custard itself is so good, getting a plain old hot fudge sundae still manages to be a decadent treat. Their specialty concretes are all worth a try. And they have complimentary water stations!

Brian M.

Yelp
Oh my goodness. I have not done a review of this most wonderful piece of heaven. Whenever we travel to St Louis, Ted Drewes is on the list of daily activities (yes daily). They have sundaes and drinks but we've only ordered the Concretes. I just had a root beer concrete. The day before was cookie dough. I think today may be Oreo or peanut butter. No matter what I choose, I know it'll be great! (Perhaps I should have said, whenever we decide to get Ted Drewes, we add a trip to St Louis with it...)

This a local institution and a no-frills frozen custard shop that serves delicious frozen custard. I liked what they offered and the prices were very reasonable. I have had my fair share of good frozen custards so this wasn't anything mind blowing or such but it was on point regardless. In my three visits to St. Louis, the third visit recently was the first time I went to Ted Drewes. It was worth it. I had two concretes. You check out the menu on the side of the shop on a blackboard or you go up to the counter see the menu posting there. The menu post by the ordering and pick-up counters is very hard to read. It's not printed in a neatly organized way. First, I ordered their 'Fox Treat' concrete - "a concrete or sundae with hot fudge, raspberries and macadamia nuts." I asked them to make it with their Abaco Mocha flavor. It was da bomb. I snarfed it down. Then, I realized that I was already done with my concrete but craved more. So I went up to the counter and ordered another concrete. This time, I asked for their Lemon flavor with Blueberries. It was pretty good. On the second go, I slowed down a bit and savored it more...heheh...as I wasn't going to have it for the third time. I enjoyed my cups of their concretes. You could taste the freshness of their vanilla custard and the mixed in ingredients. Again, it wasn't anything extraordinary or special as I have had same quality good ones elsewhere and Greg's in Mundelein, IL (to me) is a bit better but still a solid punch of good tasting frozen custard. One thing I didn't like about their menu is that they only offer their regular vanilla flavor in a cone (and dipped in chocolate coating, if you want that) but otherwise, any added flavor kind is not served on a cone. That's kinda a bummer. Anyway, I would recommend checking Ted Drewes out while in St. Louis. They have two locations and this is their original one.

Love Ted Drew's the best!! I always get the strawberry shortcake it's so good!! I live almost right across the street from this one only bad thing is were it's located kinda ruff area and in the summer it gets super packed. It's all dining out everything is done through a window it gets so packed some days it takes a little extra time to get your custard but when you get it it's all worth it believe me yumm yumm yumm yumm

Frozen Custatd perfection. I enjoyed a Chocolate Pistachio Concete and it may have been the combination I've ever had. I'm just glad the customer in front of me was talking about it. It was just loaded with pistachios and perfect. We also had an Oreo Concrete and a Mint Concrete loaded with macadamia nuts but the pistacio combination I ordered was my favorite. There's a good reason why Ted Drew's is so insanely busy all the time and it's they just have Frozen Custard figured out period. If you're in the area, it a must stop experience you will never forget. Thank's for the great memories Ted Drew

Yes, this is worth the hype and totally worth you checking out. Absolutely loved it and can't wait to come back! It's always packed but the line moves fast

Headed to Ted Drewes for an after lunch treat. The line was long but from past experience it moves pretty quickly and it dod this time too. I always get different treats. My husband always gets the Fox Treat and raves about it every time. Today I couldn't decide so I got 2. A raspberry concrete and the lemon crumb to try something new. OMG the lemon crumb concrete has become my new fave. The real lemon flavor with the creamy vanilla custard and crunchy graham cracker pieces was amazing!!!! I will definitely be getting that again...soon. A STL staple didn't disappoint...delicious as always!!!

Ted Drewes was the perfect stop on a really hot day! They have really yummy frozen custard, tons of flavors, and the prices are great! I love that there's a variety of sizes to choose from. I ordered a mini raspberry pecan custard and It was just the right amount for me--not to mention delicious! This location looks a little run down, but don't let that stop you from coming. I already want to go back!

On my first trip to St. Louis, I was told to come to Ted Drewes for a Concrete, a St. Louis institution. I'm very glad I came out here! Around 7:30pm on a Tuesday, I came here for a nice dessert after playing a couple rounds at Top Golf. Now they do have lot parking around but when I arrived, their lots were filled. Thankfully, there were side-streets nearby that you can park along for free. Upon stepping up to the window, I looked over the menu and was impressed at the variety of flavors and the different custard-desserts you could order! Looking over the custard flavors, I knew I wanted a mix of two flavors. The staff behind the window took my order swiftly and were very quick. They were young but not the friendliest, which is understandable as there were a ton of people here. I ended up ordering a regular-size Mint Oreo Concrete. Since it was a mixture of two flavors, there was a slight up-charge, but nothing crazy and they had to put it in a large cup. The flavors were so refreshing. The custard was cold and smooth and not overly sweet, at least in my opinion. The amount of custard in the regular-size Concrete was perfect and capped off a humid night in St. Louis perfectly! Ted Drewes is a little slice of history that serves up one of my food-kryptonites. If I lived close by, I think it would be bad, at least for my waistline. haha I look forward to coming back and trying a specialty Concrete.

10+ Route 66 ICON!! Most amazing frozen custard. We usually have one each day we are down there and ALWAYS one for the road! These Kentuckians are sold!!

Yes. It really is that good. Everything you've heard is likely true. There's a soft serve ice cream place in Lynden, Washington I couldn't imagine being superseded by anyone, but truly, Ted Drewes did circles around my previous number one. What is so special about their frozen custard? For me, it's the right balance of creaminess, flavor, and lightness. It's not heavy feeling as you eat it and sits in your stomach. The custard makes it taste like a proper vanilla flavor. Not too sweet either. It's not icy or watery, but a very creamy consistency. It really is wonderful. We were in St. Louis on a hot summer night so the line was long, orderly, yet fast moving. We ordered our treats and enjoyed them in the parking lot. So good. If I make subsequent trips to St. Louis, I will make time in my calendar to come here for a soft serve.

The original Ted Drews Frozen Custard on Grand Ave has been a city staple for a delicious treat for over 80 years. They are best known for their concretes. The area is mixed commercial/residential off a very busy road. The parking lot is adequate for the business. There was some debris in the surrounding area, but none at the walk up space. There is a water fountain on the side. My order. Banana Split / three scoops of frozen custard topped w/ hot fudge, strawberries, pineapple, pecans & whipped cream. Outrageous yum! My son got a lemon concrete which is similar to a DQ Blizzard and he loved. Staff was helpful to new customers, smiled and was in general nice. There are other Ted Drews locations around the city. I even saw a vending machine at the airport before flying home strangely enough. It's pure Saint Louis and a must when visiting.

Now it's time for a rap. You think you know custard? Well I've got NEWS You may as well uninstall that app you USE Because here in STL there's only one place to CHOOSE If you want to do it right, do it at TED DREWES Sure it might be fun to go and drink some BOOZE Take a few drugs, lay on the couch and SNOOZE Secretly try on your ex-girlfriend's SHOES Nah, f*** that, let's go to TED DREWES If you try to beat this custard you know you're gonna LOSE You'll be left in Saint Louis singing the BLUES There's no better custard so don't conFUSE If you want to do it right, do it at TED DREWES WHAT! And thats a rap. I mean a wrap. Well, both. If you try this and don't think it's the best custard you've ever had (cough, tied with Milwaukee), then either you don't know custard (cough, most people), or you're biased towards Milwaukee (cough, hi Yael). Either way I'm not going to waukee out on you just for that. What to get: A concrete. Vanilla or Chocolate, you can't go wrong. They're both perfect. Or what: There are a million flavours and mix-ins that can make it even more interesting. The low-down: Utterly fantastic custard, some of the best I've had anywhere - especially the vanilla but it was all good. Pistachio and chocolate too. And so cheap. Yum. This is *the* location. There are many of them in STL but this is the original and they make it the best. Idfk why so don't ask thx. I'm a massive fan of custard and I know my world class custard from my dog poop. I've had it everywhere. Not sex, custard. But that too. The two are interchangeable for me. As they are for most people. In fact, are you free tonight? Wanna have amazing, intense custard with me all night? I know that Milwaukee has the best in the country regardless of what some other cities and states have claimed. But the state of Missouri is right up there with KC and STL having some great options. None in Missouri are as good as the wonderful stellar spectacular taste of Ted Drewes. What's great about this place is, well, everything. The tradition, the prices, the selection of product, the originality with the concretes - I love that they are held upside down to prove to you that they are solid. But what's truly spectacular more than anything else is simply the wonderful thick creamy perfect taste of the custard. Both chocolate and vanilla basic custard are off-the-charts good. Top five in the country - and even has a claim to be number one - right alongside Leon's in Milwaukee. Time for another rap. After all, you rap what you sew. So first of all get drinks and make sure you're FED Maybe have some BBQ or just a slice of BREAD But for dessert, you'll be walking backwards like NED Because nobody ever really wants to leave TED Sure you could come and share my girlfriend's BED Pay her some money and give her some HEAD Make "custard" all night til your thingy's bright RED And the only thing that soothes you is custard from TED But afterwards, you'll be filled with DREAD That you could've caught something and wound up DEAD I have a better idea, get custard inSTEAD And in STL, Custard has got to be from TED WHAT!

This place is AWESOME, BEST custard I have ever had (given it was my first time trying custard, but I'd like to think it'd still be my number one). It has a very old school, OG feel to it and a large menu - containing countless ice cream flavors, concretes, shakes & malts, sundaes, cones, OH MY. I ordered a concrete, which essentially is similar to a blizzard, but they blend it so nicely! No large chunks of toppings on top of the custard, perfectly blended, with still an occasional larger piece of Oreo which I much appreciated. I ordered mint Oreo to be exact and the mint was SO FRESH, so light. It was amazing. I ordered a mini which was a perfect size (comparable to a small) for I believe $3.20? Very fair price, and I'd pay at least a few times a week if I lived in the area (perhaps it is a good thing I do not as my waistline would undoubtedly expand). It was busy this night, but they were filing customers through the line and with excellent customer service. We had ordered some custard for our friends back at our hotel and the woman at the counter provided us with dry-ice so that their custard wouldn't melt. ANGEL 10/10 this spot ten out of TEN.

An STL staple. If you're visiting, GO! If you're a native but you've never been, GO! Ted Drewes has been apart of my hometown glory since I was a little girl walking from Spring & Itaska with nothing more than 4 quarters. I was excited to have more than enough to cover my $.80 concrete. Although the days of an $.80 treat are long gone; you can certainly get a custard fix for a nominal $2.

Great custard every time. I had the cinnamon this time. It was great. I'll get it again. Got a quart to take home. This place was as packed as Chippewa location but easier to park

I had e the strawberry shortcake. Nice cool and refreshing desert. A great place for a walk-up evening desert. Orders are delivered quickly.

Cindy L.

Got this right before I left St. Louis! And it was worth the visit. Just $2.00 for a mini. And the peach flavor is actually mixed with lots of real peach slices! Accepts credit cards, has a parking lot and each cup goes through the upside down spoon test. But of course, I had to test it myself...and sure enough, it sticks! I love the custard texture that knocks out all the air ice cream has. But warning, it melts fast because of that. If you can't pay a visit, there's a vending machine at the STL airport ;)

Yelp
Delicious frozen custard for an AMAZING price. These size cups were less than $4 each, and there was so much custard!! Custard was not too sweet and perfectly creamy. I got cookie dough, and there was a good amount of cookie dough in there. I highly recommend this place!

On a hot day this place is the place to go to! Famous for it's custard in the St. Louis area. Order at the window and enjoy your concrete or other custard creations on one of the benches alongside the shop or in the comfort of your A/C car. I ordered the mini muddy Mississippi, peanut butter, chip and cone pieces. A great combination and mix of flavors. They have the different size cups available to show you, my mini seemed way bigger than the cup size, maybe they mix the concrete in a larger size cup and the cup size is more to show the actual amount of custard you get, thumbs up for that! I'll be back for sure to this place.

World famous must visit place when in St. Louis! The lines moves fast and the ice cream is second to none!!!

This Ted Drew's is super convenient. I was coming I55 South out of the city and had a craving for Ted Drew's. Notice I didn't say Ice Cream. Exit 205 and away we went. One turn and several stop signs later we were there! I had been in the city all week for hospital visits and work. I kept thinking about the last time I was there and what I had experienced. I'd had banana mixed with peanut butter something. All I could remember was that banana flavor. I had a craving that kept pulling me back. Pulled in. Great! It wasn't too crowded! 10 minutes and I had my new creation. Banana and brownies this time! I figured out what it reminded me of. Remember back how freshly pulled Taffy tasted? Imagine smooth, creamy, mild banana goodness. Viscosity is the only word I can think of. It's a wonderland of thick delicious banana flavor that you won't soon get out of your mind. It has the perfect "mouth feel". I made the mistake of ordering the "regular". Regular is so huge! Oh well, they are generous with their portions. 6 or 7 minutes off of the interstate to this one of a kind establishment. Well worth the trip.

Save room for Ted Drewes!! It is absolutely the most adorable frozen custard joint. 100% worth the hype. We stopped by at 11:30am and there wasn't a wait. I got the butterscotch sundae with cookie crumbles and it was heavenly. Our family also got a chocolate malt - delish - and Oreo and cookie dough sundae.

Yelp
Not that great. Watery ice cream You know, I wasn't a fan. Everyone loves this stuff, but to me - being from Kansas City, where we have Culvers, Freddy's, and Sheridans - the richness was nonexistent. Quite the contrary, it was as though someone super blended my concrete, then added milk. You ever had ice cream that melts a little too much, and the sugars mellow, and the cold warms, and it's just kind of, meh? Yep. You've had a $5 Ted's creation. I even sent the first one back, tried a second one - the s'mores - and...no change. I guess it's a St. Louie thing - but in my opinion, you's guys don't know what good is. Come to KC, and try Sheridan's, or Freddy's. It's like injecting your pleasure centers with freezing cold, fluffed sugar-butter covered in a thick layer of broadening perspective. If you try something else, you could never do Ted's again. Sorry I had it, and sorry to put you onto Sheridan's - I've ruined custard forever. You're welcome.

Hello STL! I've heard this is a must to try in STL and they were right! My group got the a mini mocha? In mini size and ...it was not mini at all! I accidentally ordered the jumbo and faced the delicious consequences of an enormous size of custard with hot fudge for $3.20! Would I try again? Absolutely! Would I get the jumbo? Uhhhh no as I was only able to finish it with the help of my two Companions. 5/5 for price and taste and size!

My favorite Custard place to go especially after Cardinals game! Ted Drew's is always packed but the lines move so quickly you really just wait around 5 minutes! Anyway with all different types of variety and flavors of Custard, it's good to wait in line just to give you time to look over the menu. I have been here soo many times and I love how every time I am amazed how consistence they are with the taste! I have always stuck with Oreo and Cookie Dough Concretes. You can never go wrong with those. Recently I tried the Carmel Apple Sundae and OMG the best of them all! I love the warm apple crust and warm apple pieces at the bottom, topped with vanillin! It was the best choice I have ever made eating at this place! It is hands down Amazing! I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area and would also say it's absolutely worth the drive! It's 45 minutes away from me but worth every minute of it! You check this place out promise you will not be disappointed

Pretty famous frozen custard spot that all the locals come to. It's probably not ideal to come during the winter, but during the spring/summer, the frozen custard is pretty solid.

I consider myself somewhat of a frozen custard addict. I'm not necessarily proud of it, but it's who I am. I grew up in this area and with Ted Drewes. When I would try custard in other places I always had the feeling it was not as good. I moved far and wide here in the USA and every place I would go I would try their custard. Given the duration between when I tried Ted's I thought it must be some psychosomatic phenomena what happened as a result if conditioning as a child. But when I came back to STL around a year ago I discovered I was wrong. Ted's was the smoothest, richest, creamiest, most decadent frozen custard I've ever had and probably will have. The flavors are amazing and highly localized. There's something there for everyone. If you're passing through STL you best not miss this spot!!!!!

Christian K.

It really is good, guys and gals! I can't believe that I've never written a review for the Ted Drewe's Dutchtown location. Well, I will fix that this morning, my Yeeps! Like so many Saint Louis staples, what can be said about Ted Drewe's that hasn't been covered? I have never had better frozen custard, period. My first TD experience was in my teens, and I didn't return until my late twenties. Seriously, what is wrong with me?! Some people will talk about Mr. Wizard's or Andy's. Hell, even Culver's has good custard, but Ted Drewe's will always be the custard king, no competition. Now, one problem I have with the Dutchtown location is its seasonal hours. I'm not entirely sure that it has an official opening date every spring. In fact, there might be some subjectivity to it. I always forget about it, and then one day it's open. I try to go there in the fall, and then it's closed. No offense to the Chippewa store, but Dutchtown is where it's at! The lines are always much more manageable. Some people are not as comfortable in the neighborhood. We often call them County Folk. The quality is just the same, and actually easier to get to from most areas. The Chippewa location is great, but you wait less and get the same awesome custard. Two words: Strawberry Shortcake. Get it!

Expensive and okay custard? Not sure why people have hyped this place up when it's honestly average and the customer service was not great. Not impressed and didn't live up to the hype.

Tony G.

Yelp
What a cool little spot. Not exactly in the nicest neighborhood but it was cool to see the different types of people at this place all enjoying their custard. People were sitting in their cars, hanging on the tailgate or just standing around. But it was a nice atmosphere. So now to the custard. I had the s'mores custard in a la dodgers cup. It was phenomenal. Vanilla ice cream with goody marshmallow and chocolate and graham crackers. I thought it was amazing and if you've never been then you're really missing out.

Jessalyn L.

Delicious custard and sundaes! I recommend the Christy and the turtle in a concrete form. Their sizes can be a bit confusing but the "regular" is bigger than 12 ounces and a big serving. Highly recommend trying it!

Katelyn R.

Yelp
The custard was so yummy! I had a concrete with peanut butter and brownies, and my husband had a concrete with strawberries and bananas. They were super busy, but they got orders out quickly, which was a pleasant surprise. The shop is in an older, sketchier part of town, but it's totally worth the field trip!

Shari A.

Yelp
An absolute must try when visiting Saint Louis. We are big fans of Danny Meyer's Shake Shack in NYC and just had to return to the place which apparently inspired his custard creations. I had the banana concrete with hot fudge. The number of combinations of concrete is overwhelming as are the actual sizes of the frozen treats. It is a peculiar experience to place multiple orders if you're in a group. The lines stretch around the building and spill out into the parking lot. The employees nod and smile as they take your order and feverishly scurry around filling the requests. But in the end you're lucky if they get your flavor combo correct because they seem to mix up the orders and select whatever size they want to provide you. The upside is that the portions are simply gigantic so you'll never feel cheated. And the prices? Well, this is the best deal going. We had five concretes and the total was less than $26. The equivalent quality and quantity at similar east cost establishments could easily have been about $36. It is easy to understand the big draw here... Danny Meyer's inspiration for his shake shacks is something to treasure. Well worth the splurge and the long lines!

Always a good place to go no matter what time of day! This location is usually less crowded than the Chippewa location but still serves the same Ted Drewes we all know and love. No seating in the parking lot so you'll have to sit in your car if you're looking to have a seat.

Don't let the crowd stop you. Fast service. We tried the raspberry concrete, a cookie dough concrete and a banana shake. All were delicious!!

I was recommended this place by a friend and it did not disappoint. Incredible custard for the whole family. I got the turtle mixer and it was delicious.

Great dessert spot. My wife and I stopped by Ted Drewes while visiting STL from out of state. The atmosphere felt just like an old school hangout and we loved that about it. A retro vibe, good service, and good custard. The only thing that could make it a 5 star was if they had put more candy in the Concrete that I ordered, because DQ definitely does. Other than that, great experience
