To find out which fast food chain serves the best root beer float, Steven Luna from Mashed tried six popular options including Red Robin, Freddy’s, and Sonic. Ultimately, Culver’s emerged as the top contender for both quality and price.

Culver’s float was particularly praised for its balanced flavor profile. Luna noted that Culver’s unique root beer formula adds a spicy twist that complements the creaminess of their frozen custard. The burger chain is well-known for its top-notch custard made from fresh, often local dairy and simple ingredients, giving customers a rich and satisfying experience.

For those who might not be familiar with Culver’s, the chain has been around since its inception, boasting a root beer created by a co-founder, contributing to its uniqueness on the menu. Customers are fond of the combination of root beer and custard, leading to impressive sales figures of over 315,000 gallons of root beer annually.

Reddit users and YouTube reviewers alike echo positive sentiments about the float, routinely pairing it with their meals, highlighting its delightful sweetness, creaminess, and slight kick from the root beer.

For newcomers to Culver’s, the root beer float is a must-try, but patrons can also custom-order their floats by using different sodas and flavors. This versatility means that there’s always something new to try, ensuring that each visit can be unique.
