But the Glowczewskis didn’t just call up a buddy with a chainsaw. If the stump of the tree was good, why not use it as an icon for the old restaurant in Winona? So when the tree service came to take down the tree, the Glowczewskis had them leave a tall stump that would eventually become a huge root beer barrel advertising their tasty root beer. As it began to die off, they watched it and an idea came to them. Tim and John Glowczewski, owners of the Lakeview Drive-In, had a 100-year-old elm bordering the parking lot of their drive-in restaurant on Sarnia Street in Winona. A favorite tree begins to fail, and needs to be removed. Paul artist Curtis Ingvoldstad, stands next to the parking lot at the Lakeview Drive-In on Sarnia St.
With a view of Sugarloaf, Lakeview Drive Inn is located on the Shore of Lake Winona and is a taste of days gone by.įrom Dying Elm to Root Beer Barrel and Drive-inn Icon
Dining is an experience at the Lakeview Drive Inn and is like a step back in time. Our carhops have been waiting on (called curb service) the people of the Greater Winona Area since 1938 and Lakeview is proudly Winona’s Oldest Restaurant. We hold these heavy glass mugs in freezers at below zero temperatures to make your drink frosty cold. When eating at the inside counter, the outside picnic tables or in you car, we serve our root beer in old fashioned frosted mugs. We also make our homemade diet root beer with NutraSweet for those looking for a no sugar or diet variety. Lakeview’s Root Beer is made from scratch with our own exclusive recipe. Our employees are friendly hometown kids that want you to get the best meal and service they can provide. We never cook anything in the microwave and never serve your food from a bin of pre made or warmer held items. We are not a chain, theme, or “fast food” restaurant per say, as our food is made to order and of a very high quality.
Lakeview Drive Inn was founded in 1938 and is an original family owned and operated drive inn (in) restaurant.
