Very popular and on way to historic Old Lyme and the sound.
Great food, atmosphere, and service. Came on what looked like an overly busy Labor day but the food still came out fairly quickly and the cheeseburger and curly fries were delicious! The staff (for both food and ice cream) were all very kind and accommodating to my burger modifications and gave me recommendations on what to order since they were out of my go-to ice cream flavor. Can’t wait to come back again next summer when all the flavors are in stock again!
The ice cream was delicious! Nice place to sit and enjoy!
Hallmark Drive In is a charming spot to enjoy tasty ice cream in the area of Sound View. The staff is friendly, and the area offers nice views, even though it is located on a busy main road. It is an old school New England Clam Shack with high-quality food and service, making it a true gem for the community and visitors alike. The restaurant is known for its excellent breakfast, with egg sandwiches on brioche rolls and quick service starting at 6:30 a.m. Visitors also praise the fried shrimp, clam chowder, and lobster roll, though some note that prices have increased. The ice cream is great, and outdoor seating is available. The overall experience combines friendly service, clean picnic tables, and delicious food, making it a must-visit spot for a classic dining experience.
