The business was shut down in mid-July to replace the existing kiosk and shed with a single building. It was supposed to occur in June, but apparently the required building permits were not procured. From the start, the project has been poorly managed. Usually when a business does a makeover such as this, there is some form of communication to customers regarding the plan. For example, signage is placed to inform customers of the upcoming changes, and the plan for returning to normal business. No such communication occurred, other than perhaps the barista informing customers verbally. This does nothing to inform transient customers, who are not even aware that the kiosk exists. And loyal, long-term customers such as my wife and I are left in the lurch, not knowing if or when the kiosk will ever return to business. As of August 21, we are still unsure whether the kiosk will be open any time soon. In the meantime, we are left with hoping the food court coffee trailer is open when we are looking for coffee (forget Dunkin'). There are no signs in the window, just building permits in various stages of incompletion. It's been very disappointing, as my wife and I have been frequenting this coffee kiosk for more than 10 years (back when Nancy and Karl Colbrunn owned it). In the business world, a Project Manager can make all the difference. This project could easily have been done in less than two weeks, which would have reduced the adverse impact to customers and employees. Perhaps the owners could do some damage control and (at least) put up some kind of information in the windows of the new building letting customers know what is going on. Also, consider placing some kind of signage along the street to let folks know there is actually a coffee kiosk in the parking lot (not just some random building sitting there).

I asked her to make Texas sheet cake, of which she'd never done, and she discovered there was a chocolate and a blonde recipe out there. She made both, not know which we preferred, and also added a few other cupcakes to add color and more flavor to our assortment - all of her own doing and not asking to charge us extra. We gladly compensated her for her sweet thoughtfulness and for treating our daughter's wedding as if it were thing she had on her plate. She's delightful, dependable, and took our daughters wedding personal to make it a beautiful presentation. We travelled back to TN with the few left over desserts and I seriously have hidden them to eat them myself. Highly recommend. She's very responsive and a pro and her sweet husband helped with the delivery.

So, if you've had Hershey's ice cream, you know what you're getting. All decent. My kids went crazy for the colorful vanilla and the cotton candy. They also offer fruit smoothies, though I overheard the staffer explaining that he stops offering them in October because there is less demand for them. There is a gender-neutral bathroom (slightly dingy, but otherwise adequate) with a changing table. I'm a tall guy, and the table was a perfect height for me, so good luck changing your baby if you're less than 5'9. Cash is king - they waive the card fee if you pay in cash, so come prepared! As I said, nothing super extraordinary, but overall solid place for ice cream.

After a visit to James Madison's Montpelier, we were looking for a place for a late lunch. My MIL…read morefound a brochure for the ice house amidst their collection of tourism pamphlets proclaiming it to the best fried chicken in the world and it sparked her curiosity. I imagined myself running in there like Buddy in the scene from Elf with the World's Best Coffee... but a casual sit down fried chicken place was about the speed I was hoping for, so I was in. Best fried chicken in the world? No. But, fried chicken I'd choose again if in the area? Very likely. Worth going a bit out of my way for? Yeah. All the sides were good. I got Mac and cheese and loaded smashed potatoes (because, yes, I'll do starch on starch with extra fat on each at a chicken joint). Both quite good. And the Mac and cheese had the benefit of being properly conceived restaurant food for an audience of non-drunk adults but also capturing the Mac and cheese comfort vibe enough to be loved by my three year old. Others in my party got the side salad, which looked great with a good mix of crisp greens and what not and the special cheesy grits which they liked. And they didn't skimp on the serving sizes at all. The biscuit was also a fresh, proper biscuit and came with good apple butter. Their drink menu has a couple of options for almost any occasion/meal. The service was friendly and fairly efficient. The whole place was bright and clean, and having a three year old, I got to know that the cleanliness extended to the bathrooms.

The walk from the Scenic Railway was scenic, easy, about ten minutes if you don't stop, walking at a leisurely pace. The restaurant was casual and the service was also casual. The food was wonderful and came out quickly. I got the two white piece chicken set, and the picture doesn't do it justice. These pieces of chicken were huge. I was also given a large helping of green beans and a generous helping of mac and cheese and a pretty good roll. Everything was really good. I would definitely return and recommend for huge portions and a casual time.

Although it was crowded when we arrived, they had plenty of parking in the back of their lot. We grabbed a table under a tree to provide some shade and went to order. Despite the long line, it moved very quickly. When we got up to the front, the cashier asked if we were veterans, seeing everyone wearing their combat service affiliations for the rider's group. For ease of ordering, we put everything on one tab, and were absolutely amazed by the incredibly generous military discount! (The group was truly touched, so thank you very much to Moo Thru for honoring their service.) The ice cream was delivered to us from the back window. It was delicious!! The ice cream was so creamy, and I could eat a whole gallon of the cookies & cream. While it's a bit of a hike for me to get to Moo Thru, it's definitely worth the distance, and I look forward to my next visit!

Which, we definitely should have gotten instead of hot dogs. It's not that they were bad...they were fine, but really, only fine. Each one came in a big bag and took lots of time between each one that we got. If I had to guess they are microwaved and they only put one hot dog in the microwave at a time, maybe? We tried to spice things up with their fancy grilled cheese. It was good but also...just good. We should have gotten ice cream, we have regrets. But I definitely wouldn't return for any of their lunch items.
