Everything here is amazing, including the owners. If your visiting the Buffalo area this place is a must see, we always bring out of towners here!

“This is our new favorite place for ice cream. The ice cream is so delicious and there are a ton of flavors. It is really big inside and there's lots of seating outside.

They have different flavors all the time and it's always busy but in a good way! The line moves very fast.“

“I would love to give a very positive review but as of right now I cannot every time I go to the hertel location there always out of milk . the regular ice cream is great but I only do milkshakes cause I drive alot please fix y'all's problem of running out of milk.“

“Staff is super friendly and fast service“

“A Buffalo institution and one of my must visit place(s) if I'm in the area. Personally, I like the original Anderson's location on Sheridan (in Tonawanda) better than the other locations. But this one is not bad. Only got a twist of chocolate and vanilla custard this time but I've had majority of the items on the menu. The custard is always creamy and flavorful. Try one of the special flavors, like pistachios or strawberry, if they have it. You won't regret it and it's worth the calories.

Dietary restrictions: Dairy

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly - who doesn't like custard/ice cream?

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“No I don’t recommend French Road Dairy Queen. The workers are rude. Online says they’re open until 10 so my kids and I ride our bikes a couple miles to French road Dairy Queen looking for a tasty treat. On arrival the inside area is already closed at 9:45. Drive thru is open since they don’t have a walk up window like every other ice cream shop I figured I could get served at the drive thru window. NOPE. No ice cream for you they say like I’m in the Sienfeld episode The soup Nazi only it’s ice cream. My kids and I were so disappointed. The ride home was treacherous with no calories in our systems. We barely made it home Sincerely Disappointed customer“

“Best Hot Fudge and chocolate around! Amazing Staff!“

“So the ice cream is expensive but somewhat worth it for the location. For homemade ice cream it's either here or sweet Jenny's ( which has more flavors) excellent home town place with a great vibe. Thier chicken tenders and curly fries are about the only food you will have know while eating here. Thier staff is always super friendly and great.“

“Very good food. Lots to choose from and the frozen custard is so yummy!“

“Wonderful, cute shop to stop for a sundae, milkshake or ice cream to go. Also, 1/2 gallons are reasonably priced & better than the brands from grocery stores. Chocolates are scrumptious and hard to resist. Indoor & outdoor seating. Highly recommend!“

“was great ice cream and great service and great company!!“

“The ice cream was delicious and it is made on site. I got the creme brulee and the biscoff which were both very good. They are reasonably priced and the staff were friendly. There a few tables inside to sit and some benches outside. They also have toppings but the ice cream was good enough without them. They do ice cream, milkshakes, and espresso/coffee. They also have some prepacked tubs you can buy.

Vegetarian options: All vegetarian

Kid-friendliness: No specific kids cup but they have single scoop options which I think is good

Wheelchair accessibility: First floor and completely flat“

“Loganberry slushee yummmm“

“I love their Dilly bars and Buster bars!!♥️♥️♥️🤍🤍💙💙🎉🎊🎉🎊“

“This Dairy Queen is amazing! It’s right near me so it’s an easy walk, and usually the lines aren’t crowded and the staff are really nice! The atmosphere is nice and the food is great just a bit melty but you can grab a few napkins then you are fine.“

“I was looking for a froyo place that serves a more tart style yogurt and the "euro tart" flavor definitely delivers!

Way more topping selection than other places in the area and I couldn't believe how clean it was!

We will definitely come back when we are in the area.“

“I loved your cookies! Tried your white chocolate chip macadamia nut and some of my friend’s triple chocolate chip cookie she got. I was in heaven! Definitely coming back soon! Keep up the good work! :)“

“Went to Rt 20 ice cream tonight for the first time this season and had the worst service I have ever had in my life. I ordered 2 small flurries and proceeded to wait 20 mins for them to be made while 2 people behind me in line got their same item ahead of me. I was asked what I and I told the employee and they said nothing. This was a terrible experience at a place I have been going for years that generally has good if not great service. The biggest thing is that it was not even busy. Terrible...“

“Below is a comment about a plastic cup and a refusal to not put ice ream in cup. Grow up Your Petty and ridiculous. No other problems Exist in your life get real“

“Helpful staff, outdoor & indoor safe seating, lots of food & ice cream choices.“

“We stopped here last night after we noticed it across the street from the restaurant we were having dinner at for my granddaughter. It was a little pricey for 6 cookies but I guess you get what you pay for! Ordering was very easy and our order was ready very quickly. They even gave my granddaughter a free cookie for her birthday. The store is so clean and the workers were so friendly and helpful. The Maple Sandwich cookie was hands down the best ( the one I did not want to try!) my Granddaughter loved the Caramel Apple flavor. We will definitely be repeat customers.“

“I love their sponge candy. I live in St Louis but have family in Lancaster. I am so thrilled they are shipping again. Just received my first pound box today. Will be ordering again soon! Best sponge candy ever!!!!!“

“Learned about Golden Hour Treats on Grubhub when I typed in ice cream. Oh boy! I had a banana split which was the best I've ever had. The boys had the cotton candy ice cream and were very happy. I then went back in 2 days and had the banana pudding. I intended to eat a few bites and save the rest...well that didn't happen! Delicious!! Atmosphere is clean and the staff are nice if a little slow. It's definitely worth a trip.“

“Very cute Cafe, delightful staff, and some REALLY delicious treats. My wife and I tried the salted caramel and the biscotti gelato flavors, and they were superb! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I mean, it's DQ, amiright? Not artisan crafted ice cream, but sometimes it's the scratch the itch needs. One note: we stopped in for the Peanut Buster Parfait, and my wife asked for whipped cream, which, I don't know why, I didn't know was an option. The guy next to us was buying a big box of Buster Bars along with a PB Parfait (super fan!). He must have heard us and when the employee brought the parfait, he asked for whipped cream. Of course, the transaction was complete, and she said, "Oh, well, whipped cream is extra, uhhh...well, I can just ring it up and..." He politely just said nevermind , but I'm like, dude just gave you like $40, give him the 5c of whipped cream. Not the employee's fault, she was just following her rules. But managers have to train people to make simple judgement calls. Manager was standing there and I hope she was occupied and didn't hear the request, because that was a missed opportunity for awesome customer service.“

“I love Watson’s Chocolates. I have so many meaningful memories from this place. When I was in pre-school at St. Paul’s down the street, my Papa would bring me to Watson’s after school if I was good. I remember loving picking out some chocolates or the colorful gummy orange slices. I still love going to Watson’s. The sponge candy is my favorite. :)“

“was so good definitely going back“

“I work at cookies and cream 🍦🍨🍪“

“I love this place!!First time visiting there I was greeted with the biggest and most welcoming smile by Yvonne. She always has a great smile and attitude. Her chicken and cheese waffles were to die for! I am not one for cold coffee but she talked me into getting an ice mocha with foam and I am so glad she did it was amazing! I definitely crave her waffles and ice mocha once a week. I can’t wait to see what she talks me into trying next!!!“

“Watson's has become a go-to part of my weekly self-care routine. Cashier James is the picture of customer service, warmth, and generosity. Large ice cream portions, delicious chocolates (available by the piece or pound), great hours, and affordable pre-Elmwood-surge pricing. I couldn't recommend Watsons more!“

“Have stopped in and buying different treats here for years and still get plenty of new, sweet, surprises all the time. Everyone in the family love to come and pick their own sweet rewards. Love their milk-chocolate, orange, sponge candy! You can join their rewards system to earn points and get future discounts.“
