"It must be noted that technically, Drewes’ product is not ice cream. It is frozen custard, meaning it is egg rich and ultra creamy. There’s nothing more purely dairy-delish than vanilla, but you can mix it with your choice from a list of dozens of different flavoring agents from chocolate and strawberry to fudge, cherries, cookies, nuts, and candy bars."
"Don't dare leave town without licking yourself silly on this super-creamy ice-cream-like treat at historic Ted Drewes. Rich and poor rub elbows enjoying a 'concrete,' a delectable stirred-up combination of flavors."
"Fans can’t imagine St. Louis without these iconic shops, noted for smooth, tantalizing frozen custard flavors that have satisfied sweet tooths for over 80 years."
"The 31 Best Ice Cream Shops in America: Ted Drewes - The family has been selling frozen custard for more than 80 years. You might get one of their amazing concretes, especially the Twisted Caramel, since the crumbled pretzels add just the right saltiness to that caramel."
"Crowds start lining up during spring training for a taste of Ted Drewes’ rich and creamy frozen custard treats—so thick they’re called concretes."
"I kicked it omakase style and the server surprised me with one of their most popular mixes, the Dutchman—vanilla custard blended with butterscotch, chocolate, and pecans. This was wobbly-knees good and, while it's probably not fair to compare frozen custard with soft serve, blew away any Blizzard or McFlurry that's ever crossed my lips."
"Any St. Louisan worth their salt can conjure up daydreams of that creamy custard."
