“We have been going for many years and even after a new owner to took over . The services have been always great . My one recommendation and it’s my favorite and had about it many years ago is to carry coconut flavored .. but other then that it’s continues to be a very busy hot spot and a nice hang out in the back . I love that place“

“I have never had a bad ice cream from Bananas! I have always been a lover of their cotton candy ice cream but went in and tried their new flavors and I was blown away. This shop is small, sweet and full of smiles. Great service and care. The only down side I have is I wish it was closer to my house!Dietary restrictions: They offer many options for those who have restrictions.Parking: They have parking in the front and side.Kid-friendliness: My kids love coming to bananas and trying new ice cream and new toppings. Always a great stop for them.“

Crossroads Ice Cream Shop • $
240 Higganum Rd, Killingworth - 10.4 miles

“Ice cream shop at a crossroads. When we came we could only order at the window. The inside was not accessible. We ordered a soft serve twist; chocolate and vanilla, and a cup with two scoops pistachio with almonds and coffee. Outside is plenty of seating on park benches and chairs overlooking a small pond with a water fountain. Ice cream is good and a relax spot to sit down after visiting the outlets.“

“Walk up ice cream stand. Order at the window and hope the kid remembers what you ordered. Overall- good place to go for ice cream and I do recommend. I think they need a better register system because the kids can never seem to remember what anyone ordered (granted we were in a group) but most places have ticket systems to help combat this. The kid would take 4 orders bring two then asked the other two people what they ordered. As someone else mentioned they never seem to have bananas- they have long menu that you can’t really see until you get up to order- if they had an online menu people might be quicker to order.In summary is the ice cream good and the price right? Yes. Is it efficient - absolutely not.“

“Wow!!!! My boyfriend and I tried this new little spot on a whim and boy was it GOOD!!!! Honestly the best Mexican I’ve had in the states and I’ve lived in LA, California. It was so fresh and well made. Absolutely delicious. The tostadas were fire! So was the corn but those Churros!!! Honey. Let me tell you. THE BEST THING IVE EVER HAD! Get the caramel. I’m sure they’re all good but we got the caramel. It was like a warm custard inside of the churro. I thought it was gonna just be a sauce you dipped it in. They were excellent!!!!! I have a burrito I’m saving for later but I have no doubt it’s gonna be magic. Don’t sleep on this spot. It’s 100% worth it and the prices were beyond fare. Oh we also got tacos. I didn’t eat those but my man. Did. He loved them!!! Definitely go! And go now before they get so popular you can’t get in! Also, it needs to be mentioned that the customer service was outstanding. They were so kind and patient. Helpful. And all with a smile. I’mTelling you. Next big thing in Wallingford ??“

“Talk about a fantastic hot dog. This 1950s style diner is famous for their 10 inch hot dogs for good reason. The hot dog itself has tons of flavor and can be served with numerous toppings. I recommend adding cheese which they melt between the bun and the hot dog so it's almost like it's wrapped in grilled cheese! The parking lot has picnic tables for the summer time and the staff is friendly. It is cash only but there is an atm inside!“
