Don’t know what’s changed but I had the burgers and fries recently and they were horrible! Ice cream was ok but absolutely terrible food. Last year food was great I won’t order my lunch here again.
Cozy atmosphere. The employees are friendly and they don't seem to rush you. They definitely exercise a lot of patience. The ice cream was delicious. Also, I took an ice cream in a bowl to take to my husband. It was a 20min drive and the ice-cream barely melted! Impressive!

Went here for a shake and didn't have the best experience. I asked the Food Teller "Hey , I Want A Shake ! " And the man behind me (was named Kyle, Middle Aged, Drives A Honda Pilot) grabbed me by the shoulder (s) and processed to give me a good Jostle ! Kyle ( Earns $42k working at Safe Way ! ) chuckled and said " Ha Ha , You Were Shake n by Kyle ! "
I Could Not Eat In Peace . Every time I slurped my Vanilla Shake, Kyle ( does not believe in ghosts ) gave me a Good, Sharp Shake ! he told me he listens to Dark Side of the Moon Every Night after Dinner . I usually only listen to Ken Burns documentary series after dinner (much to the chagrin of Brent . He wishes we could watch The News instead )
Kyle ( a Methodist who has has a hankering for fruits and veggies after Having Scurvy ) left in a hurry once the Local Law Enforcement (Perr the Establishment... He does this A Lot ) .
The Shake Was Good . But I had The Runs for the rest of the night . I called out of work (mostly just to play A World of Kefflings on the Nintendo Wii U ; but also because Vanilla Shake Got My Stomack Feeling Funny )
Please tell Kyle ( Lost the remote in the Couch Cushions but can't bring himself to go spelunking in the sofa ) to not return While I Am There . Once I receive Confirmation of this in Writing , I will have Another Shake . See you around . Sting - Fields of Gold (1993)
Vegetarian options: Shakes are vegetation . Their affect on me Is Not .
Dietary restrictions: I cannot have Shakes when I have Work The Next Day . I called out from Ocean State Job Lot . I have 3 Sick Days left (sad)
Parking: I saw 3 Honda CR-V (Comfortable Roundabout-Vehicle) in the parking lot . Wow !
Kid-friendliness: they stinky . they look a lil dirty.

This place had a good sandwich and decent ice cream! My beef with it is the price! It is so expensive! Like absurdly! You can go almost anywhere else for a better price. I won’t be back but I still did enjoy my meal as it was very good.

Food was average, nothing special. Pretty expensive for what you get though. $5 for a large soft drink that was filled to the top with ice, along with no free refills is kind of outrageous. Better than the Star Drive In at the very least.

First time going here and I have to say its a great summer drive-in. Great selection of food and ice cream treats. Nice outdoor seating to enjoy your food. We had clam cakes and chowder. The chowder was good but average. The clam cakes are not what you'd expect. They are not shaped like a meatball but are flat. We were told about the shape when we ordered so we knew they would look different. They are Delicious! The service was fast and the staff pleasant and friendly. We can't wait to go back and try some of their other food!

Very laid back, kind staff, plenty of seating. Always busy and we wanted to check out based on ratings. Fried clams were so delicately fried and fried food usually bothers me and I had no issues. Super yummy. My Shirley temple was also excellently mixed and not overly sweet from too much grenadine. I will definitely return.
