“Highly recommend a visit or several to Nicky 2 Scoops, we head over quite frequently for delicious and affordable ice cream treats for the family. We love the atmosphere and that there is a bonus program for frequent flyers like us to earn some cash back towards future purchases. We also recently rented the space for our daughters birthday party, the owners let us customize the space to our liking and offered an affordable party space so the whole extended family could attend comfortably & enjoy the ice cream with us! We will definitely use the space again for future parties 🎉 The owners are super friendly and very accommodating! Love it!“

“the chicken salad is amazing!!“

“We have been to all the places around the area for our Friday fish fry and Hoover’s has THE best fish fry. We love their homemade ice cream! The only thing that is such a bummer, is the fact that it’s FREEZING in the cooler months, especially winter. Can we get some space heaters or something at least?! I love eating here but it’s hard when it’s so so cold.“

“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.“

“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.

“Best ice cream I’ve ever had!“

“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.“

“This location is known for serving a variety of treats such as ice creams, Blizzards, sundaes, and fast food items. It's a part of the Dairy Queen Grill & Chill system, which has a reputation for its combination of hardworking people and great-tasting food and treats. The store offers amenities like credit card acceptance, mobile ordering, delivery, gift cards, and outdoor seating.Dairy Queen, one of the largest fast-food chains specializing in ice cream and frozen treats, has a rich history that dates back to 1940. The first Dairy Queen store was opened in Joliet, Illinois, by entrepreneur John Freemont "J.F." McCullough, his son Alex, and their friend Sherb Noble. They developed a unique soft-serve recipe two years earlier and decided to open Dairy Queen following its successful trial at Sherb's ice cream shop.The initial store in Joliet was primarily a place to buy ice cream and refreshments, with no seating for customers. Instead, people were encouraged to take their treats home or eat them on the go. This concept of a quick-service ice cream establishment was new and rapidly gained popularity.Dairy Queen began expanding through a franchise system just a year after its inception. By 1947, the number of stores grew to 100, and by 1953, Dairy Queen had crossed the borders into Canada with a franchise in Melville, Saskatchewan. In the 1950s and 1960s, Dairy Queen became a staple of social life in small Midwestern and Southern towns in the United States, often featuring in stories and memoirs about small-town America.A significant milestone in their menu development was the introduction of the Blizzard in 1985. This new product, combining soft-serve ice cream with candy mix-ins, was an instant success and became a hallmark of the Dairy Queen brand.Over the years, Dairy Queen has continued to grow and evolve. As of the mid-2010s, there were more than 6,400 Dairy Queen stores in over 25 countries, with the majority in the United States. The company became International Dairy Queen, Inc. (IDQ) in 1962 and was later acquired by Berkshire Hathaway in 1998.Dairy Queen's menu has also evolved over the years, from the introduction of malts and shakes in 1949, banana splits in 1951, to the Dilly® Bar in 1955. The Brazier® concept, which introduced an expanded fast-food menu, was launched in 1957. Today, Dairy Queen's offerings include a wide range of frozen treats, fast food items, and specialty items like the Blizzard and GrillBurgers.“

“The best gelato 🍨 I’ve had in the niagara region, I love this place it’s so good and so worth it!“

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

“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.“

“Hot night and Andersons on the Blvd is busy! Arctic swirl was great, filled to the brim and the small vanilla dish was just fine. We will be back. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Place was clean. It was a little slow but honestly, they were packed with people.“

“I go to Anderson’s on Sheridan almost every Monday or Wednesday for lunch. I’m a creature of habit and always get the same thing. Beef on weck, hot sauce on the side, large fry. As soon as I walk up to the register, the super friendly staff already knows my order and name! They’ve even carried my food out to my table for me on a slower day for them! I’ve never had a bad experience. The staff is friendly, food is great, service is quick, even when they are understaffed- nobody is ever just standing around. I’d recommend going to the Sheridan Drive Anderson’s to anyone! And order whatever you want! You can’t go wrong!“

“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.“

“Got a birthday cake for a friend and no line, fast friendly service. I also discovered $5 mystery bags in the freezer. I bought one and there was a small and a large blizzard of random flavors inside.

Kid-friendliness: Kids love ice cream“
