Gup’s (formerly known as Tep’s) is a classic, with real carhops, real trays that mysteriously attach to your window, and old school prices. The menu offers burgers, chicken, salads, sandwiches, plus garden burgers and grilled veggie sandwiches. There are many different ways to get your soft serve ice cream, and they make their own root beer.
