King Louie's Drive-In is a good old fashioned Root Beer Stand. What? Give me a break, I am old and…read morethat is what we use to call them when I was a little person. It's a restaurant that makes its own Root Beer and serves burgers. The King is not in my immediate area and it's not even in one of my regular driving routes. So I don't think of him that often. I need to change that, because the short out of the way drive is so worth it. I haven't used the car-hop service, but there are always lots of cars with the cute little tray attached to their drivers side window. So, I have it on my bucket list to try on a future visit. Perhaps, I'll bring my fur child to enjoy a plain burger. Since I don't use the car-hop, I go inside to order and eat in the small dining room. Yesterday, it was full of workers from the refinery and other local businesses. Lucky for me after ordering at the counter, I was able to snag a two top table to enjoy my meal. I normally get the Lion Tamer which has jalapeños on it, but today I went with a King Louie. It's a single smash burger and I added cheese. My topping were only pickles, lettuce, onion and a smear of mayo. I had them hold the tomato. I'm not a fan of mayo, but for some reason I like it on my burgers here at King Louie. The edges of my burger were crisp, it had an odd shape so you know it was hand pressed. It explodes with flavor, just like an old time 50's drive-in. The fries are equally impressive. They are super crispy and done to order, no fries sitting under a hot light waiting to be served. What impresses me is they are fries that still have their skins on. For me, that just adds flavor. Of course, the main attraction next to their amazing burgers is the refreshing homemade, Root Beer. It is always the perfect accompaniment to a burger and fries. Next visit, I having a Root Beer Float and really have a flashback to my childhood.

Service took a bit, but that's because it was decently busy when we arrived. I honestly didn't expect the flavor I got with the price I paid. Some say it's overpriced, but this is a local mom and pop place, so you know what kind of quality you're going to get. I definitely recommend this place! Loved it and I will go back.

In addition to the sweet treats, one of the highlights of stopping by and even driving by, is reading their marque. The messages are always, witty or supportive of another local business. I love it when local supports local. Recently, I had a Chocolate Covered Strawberry concrete and I liked it more than my typical favorite M&M concrete. The chocolate ice cream with flakes of solid chocolate and pieces of strawberry made my day. I've also enjoyed, chocolate and vanilla twist cones, but the orange sherbet and vanilla is still my favorite. I keep saying, I need to try their burgers, so I'll say it again. I gotta try their burgers. The restaurant has a nostalgic look and feel. The staff is young high school and college students and they're always friendly. They truly hustle and make things happen for their ice cream fans. Next time you're in Edwardsville, be sure to make a stop at Northside Dairy Haven.

My main…read morecomplaint is the sizes and pricing - sundaes come in only one size & the price is pretty high compared to other ice cream shops in the area.

I get a ready for pickup notification shortly after and a charge notification from my bank showing payment pending. I show up 4:00 and I'm told they don't have any order for me, I show the email I show the app notification and even the bank notification. Someone from the back comes up to look at the notification on my phone and called the owner about the order. We was creating excuses for why I wasn't getting the cake even after the employee working there see the proof of purchase, I was handed a cell phone and the owner was on the other end. I went back and forth with this guy he tried to make it seem like I was trying to rip them off because they couldn't find the order. I reminded him that multiple employees were telling him that the order was paid for but he was unreasonable so I hung up the phone. Just as I was going to cancel the order it shows up in the system and print a order with payment verification just as he was informed. I praise the girls for trying to make it right for me I appreciate your patience and understanding. Your boss is a power tripping guy who probably treats his employees even worse. I will drive to the town next to us for our treats next time.

The lady in drive-thru argued with me over and over about the dessert I ordered (which I have ordered several times at other locations). The lady was snippy in drive thru and I finally just gave up trying to tell her what I wanted.

They have fun "naughty" (you can find the boozy flavors on the Missouri side of the river) and "nice" (non alcoholic) flavors that are always rotating. The texture is super creamy and the flavors are spot on. Everyone behind the counter is always so cheerful and ready to serve you your frozen treat! It is a bit of a splurge, but absolutely worth it for a unique, high quality ice scream for ice cream experience with that vintage vibe.

I already know that I will be going back to try more of their sweet treats. As stated, I was out celebrating National Vanilla Milkshake Day. My milkshake was made from scratch. It was creamy, thick and had a rich vanilla flavor. It truly was a good old-fashioned milkshake, like those you'd see in the movie, Grease and on Happy Days. There is just something about a milkshake made by hand and not from a machine. There's several picnic type tables in front to sit and enjoy your treat. Plus, parking is not an issue with a parking lot and street parking. That Good is a small mom and pop business, so the customer service is warm and personable. It's also black owned. So, if you are craving ice cream as a sweet treat, go check out That Good.

We tried a variety of items so I will list them and describe as I go: Crab Rangoon - fairly decent wasn't super hot Spring Roll - gooey in the center Egg Roll - sour tasting Sweet & Sour Chicken - Chicken was very dry Green Beans - no flavor Cheese Mushroom - awesome!! Great cream cheese filling very flavorful Chicken w/ broccoli - had a bit of flavor but very bland Mushrooms - very little flavor Sushi - the "fish" looked brown so I avoided it There were noodles on the floor where we were sitting and there was a can of condensed milk on the buffet open with a spoon in it ?? I also witnessed them put old food in with the fresh food on the buffet. Overall the service and the cozy atmosphere are what gives it the 2. I probably will not return.

My husband and I each ordered a burger and fries. His burger was fully dressed with fresh tomato, lettuce, and the usual goodies. I had a single with cheese and onion straws. The onion straws are a bit more spiced than I like, but I like them to taste of crispy high quality onion and nothing else. All of the food was fresh. The fries were perfect. I ordered a side of cheese sauce and it was not bad. The Edwardsville location was clean, good parking, and relatively comfortable. There is interesting, brightly colored decor/murals. The service was good. The food takes a little while (20 minutes for us) and it is expensive- 2 burgers, 2fries, 2 sodas for $45. But, the quality is very good. The soda is Excel fountain soda, which is local and high quality, too.
