Love getting assaulted? This is the place for you... As a long-standing patron of this restaurant, I never imagined I'd have to endure such a shocking and unsettling experience. I am a regular customer for over a decade, but regardless, my boyfriend and I were subjected to appalling treatment during our recent visit. After patiently waiting for 40 minutes for our order, he approached the window to inquire about the delay. Instead of receiving a simple explanation, he was met with hostility as the general manager aggressively slammed the window shut in his face. Undeterred, we waited a few more minutes until our order finally arrived (yes, they had gotten it wrong, but that would not have warranted this review). What did, however, was our attempt to request some ranch dressing, a simple condiment which led to a jaw-dropping confrontation. The general manager, rather than addressing our request professionally, launched into a tirade. Apparently their policy is to charge $1 for each cup, which is fine, and if given the opportunity I would have just paid it. Maybe I should I have bitten my tongue, but when she let me know this I asked, "really, after I paid $35 and waited 45 minutes?" There were a number of back and forths from there where our honest reactions to what was unfolding were met with such unprofessional responses. Here's an example: My boyfriend: "Wow, you are being very rude. I don't think we will be able to come back to this restaurant." Her: "Good, I hope you never fucking come back." My boyfriend: "That's a horrible thing to say." Her: "You treat me like shit and I'll treat you the same." Still in a state of shock, we sat down to try and enjoy our food. But that wasn't the last of her attacks as she hurled ranch at us in a fit of rage. One cup struck my boyfriend, bouncing off his chest and leg before hitting the ground, and the other landed directly in his food. The disbelief of being assaulted by someone in a position of authority (apparently who is "the god damn general manager") left us both stunned. Since I have been going here since I was a kid, I genuinely wanted to provide feedback on this egregious behavior. Even when attempting to de-escalate the situation and seek out the owner's contact information from a different employee for further discussion, we were met with resistance and further aggression. It was clear that the manager had no intention of listening to our concerns or taking responsibility for her actions. I felt increasingly unsafe as the manager continued to berate us in front of other customers. This incident not only marred our perception of the restaurant but also left us deeply shaken. No customer should ever have to fear for their safety or endure such blatant disrespect while simply trying to enjoy a meal. Until there is tangible evidence of accountability and a commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of all customers, I cannot in good conscience recommend this restaurant to anyone. If anyone at the Lyon PD would like to investigate this incident of assault, I would be happy to cooperate. There are video cameras that should have captured this entire interaction.

My girlfriend, her family, and I had a great time. My girlfriend and I had some ice cream, which may be one of the best moments we've had so far. I can't wait to come

A dairy bar should serve ice cream. Especially when the sign has a big ice cream cone on it.Having to go elsewhere, like Candy shop, seems crazy!! Needless to say. No ice cream for me today.

I used to love this place. I've only ever bought ice cream and milk shakes there. I feel as though it may have changed owners since I last went. People are very friendly and store is clean. But the shake I got was sub par, I think that flavor had been sitting there too long and iced over.

The food took a while. Not gonna lie was starting to get a little irritated. But the food was fantastic and I’m a real snob. A classic burger, kind of like how I imagine the first Macdonalds before it became a chain.So I decided I didn’t want my burger fast after all.

Possibly the worst burger I've ever had -- dry and flavorless. We all agreed they reminded us of a middle school cafeteria. The hot dog was fine. The ice cream was good. Will not order anything savory here again.

Firstly... the burgers are great. I don't think Iv had a bad one. The fries are basically my fav. Secondly, I think majority of the staff is High Schoolers from the local school. That's pretty awesome. Lastly, it's a small town restaurant that is really worth the visit.
