About The Milky Way

The Milky Way is a popular spot during summer and fall, known for their apple crisp sundae that is beyond words. The small building along old Rt 220 offers soft-serve ice cream, sundaes, smoothies, and shakes, as well as chili dogs and nachos. The ice cream is delicious and affordable, with friendly and polite service that has kept customers coming back for decades. The restaurant also offers the classic teaberry flavor for longtime fans. Outdoor seating with picnic tables and a pavilion is available, making it a nice place to enjoy the small-town atmosphere. Many visitors recommend trying the fall offerings, especially the apple crisp sundae, which features just enough vanilla ice cream, warm apples, loads of pie crust, and warm caramel—an ideal fall treat. The restaurant's reasonable prices and modest portions make it a great choice for a quick and satisfying snack, though some reviews mention the importance of good management and supportive work environments for staff.
