Alvin Rondeau's Dairy Bar — Restaurant in Palmer

Rondeau's is not only a great spot for a quick bite or ice cream, it's also been a childhood staple for me. I grew up in Palmer, and have been coming to Rondeau's ever since I was a young child with my parents and sometimes grandparents. They offer a nice assortment of food such as hot dogs, burgers, seafood, chicken sandwiches & more! I love their honey lemon chicken sandwich. Unlike many other roadside restaurants, Rondeau's only features hard ice cream & no soft serve style. They have a good sized list of flavors as well, including pumpkin, cotton candy & rum raisin. They have common flavors as well as some unique ones. Sometimes during warmer days, it can get very crowded, but the lines usually move right along. Services is always great. I've only had one negative experience here & it was when I ordered a milkshake years ago that was very thin, & tasted more like chocolate milk than a shake. But other than that, it's always been a great place. I have been countless times & with only the one time that I didn't enjoy my shake, they still have earned 5 stars from me. Always delicious, always pleasant servers & a positive experience. Food orders are done in a timely fashion, plenty of seating with picnic tables. They also have a porta potty on site for customer's convenience & plenty of parking. Handicapped accessible also. Prices are very affordable. I would definitely recommend coming here for anyone who wants great food or ice cream! Note: Rondeau's is only open during certain months, it is a seasonal restaurant, usually beginning in March/April & closing sometime in the later part of the year, around early Fall I believe. Try their cider donuts, you won't be...

The best summer spot to go for quality food. Had to go opening day this year and get my usual hit dogs. Everyone is always friendly and in a good mood and the food never ever disappoints. Tons of bird nests by the picnic tables it's nice. They're at the BigE every year, too..

I can't believe I would have anything bad to say about this place, but here we go. It's take out only because of the virus, which is fine, so we called in the order and it was read back to us fine. 2 hot dogs, one plain and one ketchup mustard relish onion (like the previous picture I posted, it's my go-to). One order of onion rings and one order of cheese fries with cheese on the side. Like I said, it was repeated back to him fine. We got the rings in a separate container and EVERYTHING else shoved into another container. And there was no side of cheese for the cheese fries... but there WAS cheese on my hot dog. Really?? It's not a chilly cheese dog... and a hot dog isn't really that hard of an order to read what toppings go on it.... I'll post a picture of it below. We're just still both shaking our heads. I reccomend to check your orders before u leave the parking lot...

Revisited recently and was very glad I did. I tried the fisherman’s platter this time, comes with a piece of fried fish, whole belly clams and scallops with a choice of side. It was excellent, especially the clams and scallops. I chose fries as my side and those were crispy and fresh. Included coleslaw was also good. Hot dog was as good as I remember. I learned they have pup cups for $3. No soft serve ice cream is served. The workers are all friendly. There is a porta potty if you need to use the bathroom. Really lovely dairy bar. I'm glad i stopped in over the summer. Ice cream is fantastic. Hot dogs and fries were also delicious. They have the basics, and they do them well. If you're in the area, definitely stop by.
