Try the chicken salad with caramelized pecans-so delicious! It comes with buttered raisin toasts and your choice of dressing-I picked their raspberry vinaigrette. Yum!

Old style sweetshop with very good prices! Best valued ice cream I’ve ever had- a huge, I mean huge! scoop for $3 topped with a delicate & sweet wafer. Phot shows half of the ‘scoop’ 😋

Great ice cream sundaes - hot fudge and caramel is the way to go here.

The best deal in town is the single cone split between two flavors. It's basically a double scoop cone for $2. Yes, you read that right. It's tremendous.

Their hot fudge is not overrated, it’s glorious! And each scoop is as big as an infant’s head!

The walk-up window is great. Now they have pies including lemon meringue. Next I need to try their shakes and malts.

Massive ice cream cones. I got the single waffle with moose tracks. I couldn't even finish it!! So good!

They have a dog living on their roof-rain, snow, heat-these morons have no care for animals.

Still a New York cherry fan, but discovered the strawberry was also delicious.

Unless you want a metric ton of ice cream, probably best to consider sharing a portion.
