Gene's+Rootbeer

= Gene's Rootbeer =

Open seasonally, May through September or October
Since 1964, Gene's Rootbeer has been operating as a traditional drive-in. Because it is only open from roughly May through late September or early October, it can be quite difficult finding a spot. Though servers are no longer made to roll around on skates, they still do a wonderful job of greeting every customer who drives up, and of ensuring that their order is quick and complete.

Vegetarians and health nuts may not find much to choose from on the Gene's menu. Hot dogs are priced by 'item,' meaning the number of toppings you choose for the top. Toppings include cheese, sauerkraut, bacon, and their homemade Spanish sauce, a must-have when at Gene's. A plain hot dog is $1.40, one item is $1.65, two items are $1.75, and three items are $1.80. Slaw dogs will run you $1.85, and corn dogs $1.65. An entire section of fried foods includes the tenderloin ($3.85 and HUGE), the breaded chicken ($3.75), the fish sandwich ($3.25), while side items offered are french fries ($1.65), onion rings ($2.05), mushrooms ($2.35), and nachos (add cheese and/or sauce).

For the sweet tooths out there, definitely try the rootbeer, made on site - some people make trips to Gene's specifically for the frosty beverage. Prices are $1.35 (mug), $1.70 (32 oz.), $2.95 (1/2 gallon), and $4.10 (gallon). Ice cream is also available, such as the vanilla, chocolate, or twist cones ($.95 - $1.70), chocolate, strawberry, and pineapple sundaes ($2.35), and of course, rootbeer floats ($1.95). After a long hard day, after a movie with your friends or sweetheart, or maybe just on a beautiful summer evening in Anderson, visit Gene's.
