Golden Years Ice Cream Parlor and Diner / Food Truck — Restaurant in Huntsville

This is technically a review for Golden Years' food truck, as I haven't had the chance to make it out to their storefront. The truck came to a neighborhood near me a few weeks ago, so I thought I'd try it out that way!

Their truck has a pretty good set of offerings: deli sandwiches and lots of hot dogs with different fixings. They also serve ice cream and milkshakes from the truck, which is kind of unusual!

Their hot dogs are quarter pound and all beef. I'm boring when it comes to my hot dogs, so I asked for only ketchup. My meal came with some ruffles potato chips, some onion dip (which was delish and a fun addition!), and a bottled drink. A good deal for only about 8 bucks!

The folks working the truck were friendly and polite and understanding when I had a mild credit card malfunction. My food came out in a pretty reasonable amount of time. I also got a small cup of cookies and cream ice cream.

Overall, I was pleased with my food. The hot dog was HUGE; I couldn't eat it all. I thought it was a little bit big for the bun, but I enjoyed that it was all beef. The ice cream tasted like standard Blue Bell or something -- no complaints there. Yummy, not mind blowing, but definitely an enjoyable treat...

This is one of the most personal reviews I am going to ever leave. First off, my 52 year old mother passed away in February due to an unexpected heart attack. Her favorite flavor ice cream has always been mocha almond fudge, a flavor I haven't been able to find anywhere for years. I about bursted into bittersweet tears when I saw Golden Years carried literally that exact flavor, recipe and all, behind their counter. The employees were so kind and willing to hear my story. My boyfriend and I had came in with his toddler who had tons of fun playing the games in an environment that didn't overwhelm her at all. I loved the old programs they played such as Gilligan's Island, which took me back to times with my mom and her mother. Golden Years literally took me back in the most perfect way to my own golden years that I dont think any other business could have done a more perfect job. I want to ask our community to please bring your business to them as it's a real treat of an experience. They even showed us their food truck which we were told goes out five days a week. This small business is something special like no other and I can't begin to let them know how much they are...

Very disappointing service tonight. My ice cream was fine but the girls working were very unprofessional. Laughing and cutting up with each other the entire time we were trying to order. One girl even literally slung ice cream on the wall because it was on her finger. The same girl then proceeded to let us know that they were closing in 7 minutes but made sure we knew she meant it “in the nicest way”. By the way, the website says they close at 10 but they actually close at 9. Also, they charge $.60 for using your card but don’t let you know until you’ve already placed your order. Oh, and they were out of small cups so gave us a medium, but still charged us for the medium cup....
