"Yum! Great little food and ice cream shack. I had the clam roll with full clams and handcut fries. Delicious! Staff is friendly, too. There are a few picnic tables but I just ate in my vehicle. Nothing fancy about this place, it doesn't need to be."

"Excellent service!! Not too long of a wait and the server was very polite :) The portions are very good too; I got a small maple walnut ice cream, unsure of whether it would be big enough, and was pleasantly surprised at how much ice cream I actually got. Lots of parking space and a couple tables to eat at."

"This place is the perfect stop on your 4 wheeler, side by side or just driving around. we brought our boys here for dinner and ice cream! Great space for them to run around. Lots of picnic tables. YOU better find a seat or bring a blanket cause the wait is long. BUT, well worth it. LOTS of food menu items to choose from and yummy ice cream! Perfect summer day stop!"
