Amusingly, I didn't get any ice cream.
Last week I was denied my shot at coming here, but now that they have reopened I got a second chance. My picks for what I wanted did change, but I think it was for the better.
Ordered ahead of time over the phone putting in for a Grilled Chicken Salad, a couple Grilled Cheese sandwiches, Curly Fries, and a Fried Dough. All in all before tip I spent $26, a bargin for what I got if I do say so myself.
Once home I dug into the meal, unable to resist the call of the grilled cheese, and I found it to be just like mother use to make. An exterior crunch, a cheesy interior, and flattened like a pancake. The pickle chip included with each wedge was a nice touch too, and paired very well. The curly fries I also had to pick on immediately, and they reminded me of the Arby's I use to visit with my old man. Softer than your standard fry, but with a little seasoning and more potato meat in every bite. Of course the salad was my main course and I knocked it out of the park with the Caesar dressing pick, it was the perfect pairing to the more mild vegetables included though I will say the "grilled" chicken was more like 'lightly seared'. And finally, the fried dough! It's not often you can buy fried dough outside of a festival or carnival, but even without the presence of clowns or a whirly cup ride this fried dough was excellent. Airy, a slight crunch, fluffy, and sweetened by the powered sugar alone. I would recommend they add a dash of cinnamon to the powered sugar topping though, since it could do with a tiny bit of spice.
Absolutely would make this repeat visit location, as it was inexpensive, has a great selection, and the staff were...
   Read moreWas a huge fan of the old place before it burned down... many a high school afternoon spent there. Was happy to hear they rebuilt and took my bf over for a late dinner. I thought they closed at 9 so we pulled in about 8:00 and the girl at the counter takes our order. Asked if we were eating in or to-go, I stated we'd be eating there and she rings us out. There was another girl cleaning tables and I saw she was giving us the stankiest of stank eyes. As my bf and I sit down, this girl stomps off to the back and I can hear her arguing with the counter girl. At this point something clicks in my head so I whip out my phone and check the closing time... which is at 8. My bf and I feel terrible and go tell the counter girl that we didn't realize their closing time and we'd take our order to-go. When we got the food home, it was nowhere as good as I remembered it. I'd like to go back at some point and try the food again under better circumstances. However my bf was completely turned off by A) the counter girl not saying it was closing and allowing us to place the order as eat in and B) the other girl shooting us nasty looks instead of taking the initiative to tell us it was closing. He won't be returning but I'm willing to give DC one more chance on account...
   Read moreThis place is a gem. We went here when the line at Jumpin Jacks was winding through the parking lot.
The food here was reasonably priced. We got a deluxe cheeseburger (delicious), a fish fry platter (husband LOVED it), and chicken fingers. The platter came with an entire bowl of coleslaw, which was a pleasant surprise.
After dinner we got a push pop, small cone and medium cone. All in all we spent less than $40 for 3 people to have dinner and dessert.
We will be going here lots over the summer. There was plenty of seating inside. A line did form after we sat down, but it wasn't out the door. The staff was super friendly. It was a great experience....
