The Root Beer Stand, a Cincinnati classic, offers housemade root beer along with staples like foot-long hot dogs and burgers out of a small, mid-century modern roadside drive-in during the warmer months. Open since 1957, it's a local tradition in Sharonville. Pull up under the zigzagging roof and hop into line at the outside ordering station — or go into the miniature building and get a counter seat for a nice, cool, creamy mug of root beer. therootbeerstand.com.
