Customer Reviews

If you're looking for delicious nostalgia, this hard to find treasure is worth finding. I had the best banana split I've had in 50 years. My grandson and his teenage friends had portions large enough to be satisfied.

Very friendly, great food and the best soft serve chocolate ice ever! I couldn't believe the size of their small cone. It was a big as Dairy Queen's medium size. Will definitely be eating here again

Food was good, staff is very friendly, worth the slight drive off the beaten path. Good value for the price. Have to make room for ice cream next time. Several flavors of soft serve:)

It was a super relaxing place with great service from the workers. There wasn't much wait between the food service and seating yourself. And it had a very private homey feel to the atmosphere. The food was amazing and they had the best selection of desserts afterwards for your enjoyment. And an especially great place when eating there for the first time like I did. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you want a good meal in small groups or just stopping by for a quick snack. And another good work to the staff aswell!

Plenty of space to park, inexpensive food. Was surprised there was soft serve strawberry/mint/twist in addition to the regular vanilla/chocolate/twist! Tasted great on a hot day! I'll be back!
