Old Fashioned Ice Cream — Restaurant in Town of Babylon

I have been going to this place for YEARRRSSS. I always order a hard ice cream chocolate shake with no syrup. I love their ice cream, normally all the people who work there are great. Two weeks ago I ordered a chocolate shake and it literally was filled 60% with ice cream and then another 20% with whip cream. I went with my fiancé and showed him when we went to the car and it was so upsetting. It was the first time so I didn’t care. Happened again another night. Then I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Went to get it again today 2/17 around 8:45pm. The girl I had was new. I told her what I wanted and very nicely I said… “last time whoever did my shake did not fill it good and it was halfway filled. Can you please make sure it’s decently filled?” She is making my shake and I’m LITERALLY watching. She asks another girl who I guess was in charge. The other girl started shaking her head nonstop and looking back at me. The girl mixes the chocolate ice cream and IN FRONT OF ME she laughs and adds a s**tload of milk and closes the cup. DIDNT EVEN MIX IT. I was trying so hard not to say anything and flip out. I went to my car and opened the lid and she literally filled it up SO much with milk at the top that I tilted it and milk was POURING out. I had to go home and mix it myself. I didn’t expect it to be full…. I expected it to be decently filled for paying $6.75 for a shake. I do not think a customer should be treated like that by a fricken child. It was beyond rude and unprofessional. I go almost twice a week or more here with my fiance. I’ll save myself the calories and stop going there that’s fine by me. Not worth the $6.75 if I get treated like that for having an issue. Wish I...

Been coming here for about 25 years. It’s the only place in Long Island doing grape nut ice cream and it’s truly one of the best flavors of anywhere. I’ve lived around the country, had some of the best ice cream from different states and it’s still the top. They never skimp on the portions. You are getting full scoops and not air. Compared to prices around it’s in range. I know for long time ice cream lovers we’ve seen the prices change but for homemade ice cream you really can’t do any better. It’s very much in line with local chains like Ralph’s, carvel, baskin and Robbin’s but better quality. Been coming so long I remember when the hours were longer and the half gallon was 9$ and as long as the quality remains I’ll continue coming. I do think they should have summer hours though. That would be my one critique. If they stayed open til 11-12 at night I have no doubt people would come but I know that isn’t an easy choice and the line moves quickly. Great staff of...

I have been passing this place since I was a little girl. As an adult my body has become lactose intolerant so it broke my heart that I couldn't have ice cream the way I wanted to. But then I was introduced to Old Fashioned and I am pretty sure they are to blame for the 5 lbs I put on recently. Their flavors are great and the ice cream does not affect me whatsoever. I am happy to know that I do not have to wait for vacations in Europe for fresh gelato to enjoy a cone. I really have to slow down with this place. It's like I'm making up for lost time. I see they also have vegan options as well. This is the only place that I can get fresh Ice cream from. Stop in and give it a try. You will not be disappointed. Your lactose intolerant body will thank...
