The waitress would come up to the car and hang the tray with our order on the window. Back then they would serve the root beer in ice cold frosty glass mugs. I had a good crabcake sandwich recently at the one on 130 in Burlington, and I especially love their rootbeer floats. There are 8 in central Jersey and they still look the same. Some of them still offer tray service!

There is a Stewarts in Williamson, West Va, When I lived in Stepptown and my Aunt and I would stop and grab a few dos with famous Stewarts chlie, and an ice cold mug of rootbeer.Even if it was freezing weather..... I thought I would like to master this chili and while I could not get theirs I worked on my own and i'll share it with you. 5LB Ground meat I like the chuck. Put in pot and cruble it up. Cover with water and boil until done. drain the water . The add 2 packs of McCormick mild chili powders and mix well. Then add 2 cans of tomatoes sauce and simmer til ready to eat. You may have to add more tomatoe paste to thin consistency. For those who love onions , you can finely chop onions and cook with hamburger meat too, or for ths who just do not like the onions themself you can spinkle some minced onions flakes to season, use salt and pepper also. I have just made a batch for our church Praise party tonight. Let me know if you like it .

Haven't patronized it so I can't vouch for its relative quality, etc. but it's pretty obvious when you drive by that way....I think it's in a converted gas station. Also there is one which no one has mentioned on US9 in Howell a little bit north of I-195 (on the northbound side of the highway), although it doesn't seem to be open as much (in terms of daily hours) as other Stewart's shops. That may be my mistaken perception, however. We have stopped there once or twice for a root beer and it seemed OK. Our all-time favorite was the one in Freehold on Business NJ 33 across from Sorrento's. But it closed in fall 2001 and nowadays it's an Italian Ice shop. Which is probably fine but definitely not the same. :-( Fri May 28 22:13:41 -0700 2004 999856 0 MonmouthMuncher 1 1000844 Looking for Stewart,s that still have Scramburgers The one on LBI doesn't the wife was disappointed Sat Oct 16 00:11:51 -0700 2004 999856 0 Art 2 4037939 What is a Scramburger? My folks had the Stewart's Root beer in East Brunswick (RT. 18) back in the 50-60's then they built the one in Manahawkin in the mid 60's. Let;s just say I made alot of root beer and hoisted alot of mugs, wrapped tones of burgers and probably still recite what we can put on Hot dogs in my sleep. but Scramburgers? Mon Sep 15 19:14:57 -0700 2008 1000844 61669 Quine 3 4038073 The Stewat's on Washington Rd. at the Causeway/Bridge in Sayreville was my closest, but hit the one on 18 too. Mon Sep 15 20:10:59 -0700 2008 4037939 93538 Passadumkeg 2 4051733 The Stewart's on LBI closed and became the Arizona Grill or something this year. Does not appear to have done well, though. I passed by on my way to breakfast this morning and it appeared "well past end of the season" closed, if you know what I mean. Dusty, abandoned closed. Sun Sep 21 19:34:43 -0700 2008 1000844 113872 diablo 1 1001583 There is also one in the town I grew up in, Dover, NY on Rt. 46. Fri Feb 25 15:49:57 -0800 2005 999856 0 Erica 1 4037045 There are two Stewart's in Huntington WV, and one in Barboursville WV One of the ones in Huntington still has tray service, frosty mugs, and root beer on tap. Fabulous, and non comparison to the bottled stuff. The chili on their chili dogs is great as well. Mon Sep 15 14:06:08 -0700 2008 999856 226378 turqmut 2 4037187 2 chili dogs,fries, and a large root beer, please.

Mon Sep 15 15:16:36 -0700 2008 999856 93538 Passadumkeg 2 4040788 Went by today. The sign is the only thing left. The building is torn down. Tue Sep 16 20:42:53 -0700 2008 4037290 20315 jrd303 2 4068379 Unfortunately that building has been razed. My dad had a Stewart's on Englishtown Road in Old Bridge in the 80's. I remember making plenty of root beer floats.

Tue Sep 16 03:46:22 -0700 2008 999856 17111 fpatrick 1 4038473 I once closed one up, so to speak. Several years ago I stopped at the one on rt.35 in Holmdel. (It might actually have been my first time at a Stewart's.) It was just before closing time. The next day I drove by and they were tearing it down! BTW, I like A&Ws better, but I haven't seen one in ages. Tue Sep 16 04:18:58 -0700 2008 999856 126422 cantkick 2 4040787 There's one on Rt.1 Edison. Tue Sep 16 20:41:44 -0700 2008 4038473 20315 jrd303 1 4038503 There's one on 202 near Flemington. And the one on Scotch Road is long-gone, I'm pretty sure. Tue Sep 16 05:02:15 -0700 2008 999856 43173 Heatherb 2 4039061 I live near the Stewarts on Rt. 202 and I'm not a fan. I too have good memories of going to Stewart's with my family when I was akid (not very often, my parents were generally against fast food in all it's forms but they made the occasional exception for Stewart's.) But the few times I've gone to this Stewart's ;ocation, I thought the food was only OK at best. If I'm going to eat stuff like hotdogs, fast food burgers, fries and onion rings it had better be delicious and this Stewarts IMHO doesn't make it. Tue Sep 16 09:23:28 -0700 2008 4038503 63569 flourgirl 1 4044908 All Stewart's are not created equal. I loved the one on rt 9 n in Howell, yet don't care for the one near my house in Point Pleasant Beach.

Not only does this location have carhop service, it has a small marina. I don't know about boathop service, though. ;) Fri Sep 19 10:05:46 -0700 2008 4045931 194442 johnandlisa 3 4047497 Oh yeah, I been there. Forgot about how cool that particular one is. I think that's kind of why I love the Stewart's franchise - they're all a little different and they can crop up pretty much anywhere. Sometimes you're cruising in the middle of nowhere and feeling vaguely hungry and there's the orange building all of a sudden. Sure, the food quality varies, but how bad can chicken fingers, fries and a cold root beer in an iced mug be? Fri Sep 19 10:49:14 -0700 2008 4047355 43173 Heatherb 1 4048203 Just a friendly reminder that Stewart's root beer freezes really well for enjoyment all year round! Our fav location closes up right about now and we usually stock the freezer till next season rolls around. Fri Sep 19 15:30:46 -0700 2008 999856 36312 HillJ 2 4049274 Is the root beer still the same as it was long ago? I'd imagine they switched over to high fructose corn sugar. Give Virgil's a try . They brew it with cane sugar and many supermarkets carry it. It costs about $5.00 for a 4 pack of 12 oz bottles. They also make a cream soda and a cherry cream. I love the stuff. Sat Sep 20 07:50:28 -0700 2008 4048203 20315 jrd303 3 4051463 I know when we ran our Stewart's, We pretty much made the rootbeer right there. We bought the "root" part of the stuff from Stewarts's it was all the extracts and flavorings. No sugar or corn syrup there.It was very dark rich and bitter stuff. Then we made a 100 gallon vat of the simple syrup, which was the flavoring, pure sugar and water. That was diluted down to drinking and run through the carbonator, into the tap we drew from. I don't suspect they do it that way anymore. ;) Sun Sep 21 16:17:45 -0700 2008 4049274 61669 Quine 4 4083983 I remember making the rootbeer. we had a big stainless steel tub that we mixed the ingredients. Then we put it in cannisters and hooked it up to the soda system. AAh happy times. Sun Oct 05 18:31:21 -0700 2008 4051463 71585 heartfood 3 4051474 I appreciate the recommendation but my family loves Stewart's rootbeer. The kids make frozen root beer pops all year with it. It's pure fun, simple as that. Sun Sep 21 16:23:10 -0700 2008 4049274 36312 HillJ 4 4051714 Root beer floats!!!!!! Sun Sep 21 19:28:19 -0700 2008 4051474 93538 Passadumkeg 1 5146547 There used to be one on 71 in Brielle when I was a kid...long gone. Only open in summer. There's one in Pier Village in LB but it just looks like a tourist trap. No tray service! Sun Nov 01 07:13:55 -0800 2009 999856 255951 jerseyeats 1 5147442 There used to be one on rt.35 in Holmdel, across from Dearborne Farms. It closed at least 15 years ago. I was probably their last customer, as I grabbed a root beer right at closing, and when I drove by the next day it had a big CLOSED sign.
