My son had the Michigan Pot Hole milkshake topped with marshmallow cream.

You pretty much just have to break all sorts of parking laws to get a spot. The "famous" dip dogs are nasty. Greasy with a bad taste. Then there's those disgusting pink dogs. My spouse actually liked the slaw dogs. However, he's a human hoover who'll eat almost anything. Not a great judge, lol. Either way, unless you're a big fan of pink dogs and grease? Avoid this place.

On a long drive up to West Virginia, we stopped here for lunch and a moment to stretch our legs…read more This place was a crowd-pleaser and super fun! It's a little off the beaten path, though you can see the sign from the highway if you squint. There's a decent amount of parking. This place has been around a long time (the 1950s, iirc) and you can see the ways it has grown over the years. The dining room, bathrooms, and gift shop are all sort of separate outbuildings. There's a small patio with a couple of metal chairs and tables, which is where we sat and ate; however, seems like call-in and carryout are popular options. You order at the counter in the main building and your order number will be called when your food is ready. The menu consists of dip dogs (very similar to a corn dog, made with Carolina-style "red" hot dogs and slathered in mustard unless otherwise requested), hot dogs, burgers, simple sandwiches, chicken tenders, and ice cream/milkshakes. We all wanted to save room for supper so we kept it pretty light; I had a grilled cheese and fries, parents each had a chili dog and split fries, and husband ordered two dip dogs. This is obviously a family run establishment and we enjoyed seeing all the history through the pictures and tributes to family and community members while we waited. The gentlemen taking our orders were polite and working efficiently. The ladies' restroom was hot but clean when we visited it before getting back on the road. Our food was simple and tasty! The fries were super hot and salted nicely and the grilled cheese was so buttery. My parents enjoyed their hot dogs. I tried a bite of a dip dog just to say that I had; I loved the nice light crisp of the breading (not as cakey as your average corn dog). If I got one I'd get it without mustard and dip in ketchup but that's just because I don't like mustard lol. Overall, a fun, tasty, and interesting stop on a long road trip. Give them a try if you're in the area!

Food = Good enough…read more Service = Inadequate. Our Thursday night prearranged dinner for about 25 weary out of state travelers was scheduled for 6:30 PM. We arrived together in time and were promptly seared in a private room. So far, so good. From there the service became glacial. The meals we ordered arrived after 8:00 PM and the checks after 9:00 PM. Two and a half hours involuntary incarceration Is just too long. The three young ladies serving our tables were gracious, industrious, and determined to treat us well. Admittedly, the main saloon was also packed with raucous inebriants wanting food and drink. I suggest that the delay was possibly in the kitchen. Ambience = Loud

The Hershey's ice cream is great, the employees are friendly, and the prices are very reasonable compared to most ice cream shops we visit. My wife and I have gotten a cone there several times and never had a bad experience. On the contrary, we often drive here from Greensboro just for the ice cream and awesome New River that the caboose is right next to. Give 'em a try and have yourself a fun little adventure/daytrip. Fries (pronounced 'freeze') is a cool little town, too. Enjoy!

My wife, being more sensible ordered a one scoop waffle cone and still it was a lot of ice cream. The ice cream was extremely creamy and for some reason it was slow to melt. It appears to have little over run (air) which in my opinion, contributes to it's texture and creamy consistency. My butter pecan had pieces of pecan along with the buttery flavor that you would expect. My wife had deer tracks with big chunks of excellent chocolate.
