The 1950s-style Stewart’s Drive-In in Tuckerton has been serving Stewart’s root beer for 50 years in the same location. The restaurant is owned by Brad and Cheryl Bennett, who explained they own the license to sell the famous root beer, but they are not a franchise -the restaurant menu of a hundred items and the dairy bar are their own creation.

The drive-in has had only two owners in all those 50 years. The Bennett’s have owned the store now for 23 years and are keeping it the ’50s style their customers have come to love.

“Some people come back just to sit at the counter like they used to in the old days,” said Brad.
