The Dexter A&W Drive In, located along the banks of the Huron in Dexter, is a landmark in the city, not just because of if bright orange roof, but because it is a local gathering place of hungry folks during the hot summer nights. There is nothing better than a cheeseburger, fries and a tall frost root beer served car side.

Fun Fact:

A&W’s mascot, Rooty the Great Root Bear™, appeared in 1974 but was sent into hibernation in the 2000s. Recently, A&W brought him back and stuck him in charge of their Twitter account. But Rooty’s tough breaks didn’t end there: He was kicked off LinkedIn for inexplicable reasons (okay, fine, it was because he’s a mascot bear, not a human professional).
