Tee Pee Restaurant
Tee Pee Restaurant, Historic drive-in restaurant in Indianapolis, United States.
Tee Pee Restaurant is a historic drive-in dining establishment in Indianapolis featuring a distinctive teepee-shaped stucco structure at its center. The building design includes symmetrical side wings and an extended canopy that wraps around the perimeter to shelter patrons.
Albert Ray McComb opened this dining spot in 1932 as a seasonal venture before transitioning to year-round operations. The 1936 rename to Tee Pee Cone Shop marked the expansion and shift in the business model toward continuous service.
The establishment incorporated Native American architectural elements and menu themes, offering signature items like the Big Chief hamburger and fresh-baked pies.
The covered canopy allowed customers to dine comfortably in their vehicles regardless of weather conditions. The daily menu offered food throughout morning, midday, and evening hours for flexible visiting options.
The restaurant purchased a prize-winning steer at the 1945 Indiana State Fair as a promotional event, generating substantial attention from local media.
