The Mug
The Mug is well-known in Greenfield for its best-tasting farm-to-curb “slow food” with both car hops that allow you to eat in your car, or in the welcoming eat-in dining area. On TripAdvisor, zzMomof5zz said of The Mug: “More than a root beer stand! The root beer is very good (FREE refills!) and is made even better as a float. Having a local farm-to-table restaurant with a fun atmosphere is an asset to this community.”
Culver’s
Culver’s may be a nationwide chain, but don’t discount their root beer float! With their signature Root Beer recipe, it’s great either straight from the tap or with a big scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream.
