Abbott's Frozen Custard — Restaurant in Town of Onondaga

Having grown up in Rochester, NY, I've been a lifelong fan of Abbott's Frozen Custard, so I was delighted some years ago to learn that a franchise had opened in Syracuse at the corner of Fay Road and Onondaga Boulevard. Since then, I've become a regular customer and find their product just as good as I remember from childhood. I recommend you try the chocolate almond.

After a very long walk with my dog, we stopped up the Abbotts to get some relief from the Heat. It was a beautiful sunny fall day. I got a small cone for myself and a small cup of ice cream for my favorite walking companion Tilly. I had asked to get a cup of water for my pup. Before I could get the words out of my mouth till I found the dish of water that was there for just this occasion. Very friendly service very good ice cream. A great break in our walk and a nice way to recharge our batteries. Tilly...
