Dickson's Snack Shop — Restaurant in Stafford

I stopped in for some ice cream. I ended up getting a banana split sundae. It was delicious! I got it with vanilla, strawberry and coffee ice cream.

Lelaine (spelling) a.k.a. “La-la” made it for me. It was a piece of art…seriously! Check out the picture I took of it. She is super friendly and conscientious of her customers.

Got the sausage breakfast sandwich and it was very filling. I also ordered the chili dog which was delicious. (No beans in the chili was a bonus) My dog enjoyed a nice pup cup. The cost of our food was ~$9, way better breakfast sandwiches than Dunkin’ Donuts. There is outdoor seating with umbrellas and...

Take a step back in time, before Ray Krok, Dave Thomas, and BK forever altered our expectations about how many seconds should elapse between the time we give our order, and the time our food is ready. Once upon a time, this is how food was prepared. No rush. If you can accept that, then you, too, can enjoy the food, can savor the experience, of eating...
