This is the best old fashion ice cream parlor in long island. They make the best wraps and salads. Of course the ice cream is great. It is home made. I love the decor. For an old fashion ice cream parlor they have a great selection of food and not just burgers.
Old school atmosphere, authentic 1950's diner/ice cream parlor. A little odd with the bakery window full of toys, but whatever. Great service! Had two waiters actually, which made paying a little confusing.
I had an Italian dish and a glass of wine and my bf had a meatball hero. Pricey for what things were and my bf's hero was smaller and more expensive compared to other places.
Still the food was good and it was a quiet atmosphere without much hassle, which is what we were looking for. Their desserts looked really good and a lot of people were coming in for desserts only, but we didn't try em.
Listen: places like this don't exist anymore. Lime rickey? In NY? Get out.
But this place is different: good food, not too pricey, cool serving dishes. You like ice cream? Save room.
Lot's to choose from. I liked it a lot.
Their French onion soup is delicious! If you've never tried it before, I suggest trying it here for the first time. You'll love it! The banana split was also delicious. Banana ice cream and cookies and cream ice cream with whipped cream, sprinkles, hot fudge, and walnuts, yummy! All homemade!
This will be one of my shorter reviews.
Overall: 3 stars
Will I be back? Probably not.
Meh. Only reason I went was because of diners, drive ins & dives. Ice cream wasn't even all that great.
The home made ice cream is one of the only reasons I come here. The service is average, food average and prices are high. The semi old school feel is cool, the beanie babies as soon as you walk in are a cute idea.The ice cream bar is the only reason I come here…
A griddled burger with a too lean chuck combination. The burger was good but gushed no juice. The only juice I found came from the addition of mayonnaise to the toasted bun.
The toppings: tomato slice, onion, lettuce, cheese were impeccable.
The bun? An oversized sourdough roll that was so big I could never quite get my mouth around the meat and or the toppings in one bite.
The patty is a hand formed, rough chopped, beef blend that is cooked nicely to med-rare. The patty is griddled and pushed down onto the grill as much as the well doneness is requested – the more well done, the thinner and more spread out the patty. The less well done, equally the opposite. The meat is faintly seasoned an could use a healthy dash of salt before Being thrown on the grill.
This place is worth checking out of you want a mediocre burger served over a very long period of time.
Cute place! I am happy I found this ice cream parlour (and much more), only a year late. I was just in the mood for good old fashioned ice cream, so I did not order anything too fancy. I also took it home to enjoy while binging on tv.
I ordered the mint chocolate chip ice cream in a small pint. It is white, not green, just so you know. It is pretty good, not exceptionally cream as one would expect from a place that churns their own ice cream. I asked for a side of chocolate sprinkles, and the staff happily provided them for me.
There was a long wait along with young kids that were indecisive. I used to work at an ice cream place, so I know how it is. I appreciated how calm the staff was on a hot summer day.
The ambiance is very dinerish and informal. The lighting is a bit dim for an ice cream place. I liked the bar area with the stools and as you walk further back there is comfortable seating with tables.
Parking is kind of irritating as it is located on a busy street with no designated parking lot.
I plan on going back for an ice cream float (yum!), milkshakes and pies. Great find! Only downside is that they close at 4pm on Sundays. Staying open later on weekends seems key for this type of dining place.
