Lake Oswego Ice Creamery and Restaurant

Turned away my boyfriend to his face after coming inside and trying to order at 9:18 pm stating that they “close” at 9.. even though it says 10 pm online, and the door also says 10 pm.. you should lock your doors at 9 pm if that’s the case and update your times elsewhere. It wouldn’t have been such a big deal had we not drove 30 minutes away for a specific flavor you carry.. it left a really bad taste in our mouths considering they were still tending other people after the fact, it felt very intentionally that they did not want to help us but had no problem helping the large order in front of us.

Basic diner fare, with a classic feel and good desert options!

Every single time I've been here, the staff have been sweet. They go above and beyond, and they have always had a smile on their faces. The only thing sad is they no longer carry an item my client likes, but that's because the company no longer makes it

So many different types of ice cream! Way better than salt and straw! It’s not on the menu but chicken and waffles here are so good!! It’s roughly 19$ well worth it. I usually just get a guacamole burger with waffle fries and tea because it doesn’t taste like chemical garbage water like most other places. Service could be a tad better on refilling drinks. But quality and quality of food is 5 stars.

Got to experience a place my mom went to as a child, it was nice to hear the stories and to make new memories with her there.

We were excited to try here & read the reviews first & we're unsure but gave it a shot. It did not disappoint! The young man helping us was very friendly, made conversation, let me try a flavor before deciding on their maple nut ice cream. It was delicious & the service was excellent. We will be back~

My family and I love getting ice cream on the weekend. It’s hard to find a place that specifically has local ice cream. They offer Tillamook and Umpqua. They have a large variety of flavors. They even had some harder to find Tillamook flavors (Campfire Peanut butter). Which is my personal favorite flavor. Their prices are very fair on their ice cream and food. My family and I shared an order of loaded tots. Those were also fantastic. It gives a vintage vibe which is my families favorite. Classic diner foods. We found our new favorite spot even though we live almost an hour away it’s well worth the adventure.

Great place to grab diner breakfast seven days a week. Food is standard, staff is friendly and competent. Zero complaints!

That was a pretty good breakfast sandwich! I'm just saying!

The service from our waitress was extremely disappointing. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning. HORRIBLE

I planned to meet a friend here to have breakfast before work and walked in at 10:30am on a Wednesday, nobody else in yet. I work downtown at a place that requires a formal dress code, to be clean shaven, etc.

The floors are pretty dirty with sticky/dirt patches, flies, etc, but it's an old diner and most dives/diners out here kinda have the vibe, so whatever.

When I walked to the front, the tall brunette maybe teenage girl with a brown hoodie at the front reached to stop me from grabbing a paper menu and told me that they don't serve walk ins, and that I had to order the day before. I could "order to go and leave right after", though.

I just curiously asked her if that's a real thing out here and she said yes. I've never had breakfast out here before so idk, maybe it's a Lake Oswego thing.

I went to look at ice creams and she stared at me from the register the whole time.

Fast forward 5 minutes and my party arrives, she sees her and immediately brings a full menu and cutlery and waits on her.

I walk over to sit with my party and she drops her head and walks away without listening to what my party has to order.

3 other parties show up within 10-15 minutes and she rushes to serve them, take their orders, etc, and puts in their orders.

She then comes back to us twice in 4 minutes to ask what we wanted to eat. I told her we need a few minutes and would like to not be rushed, so she never returns after that.

We did get a couple glasses of water, though.

I need to eat in the morning or my nausea gets the best of me and I throw up at work. So I decide to check reviews, and see that people have been getting sick a lot here lately, so I figure I'll roll my luck and skip food until I can get a break later in the day, since I lost my chance to eat before work and ended up throwing up on the clock.

Also another teenage coworker came in with a jersey, cargos, and sports cap smelling like weed and kinda milled around behind the counter the whole time I was there

Don't think I've had service this bad to date lol. Penny saved, though.

To management: if you're going to skimp on wages and exclusively hire teenagers, at least pick folks who need the job so they take it a little more seriously.
