This place feels like a flash in the past! The staff were lovely, and the menus were still from the original opening, I believe. The menu is a great grabbing go or to sit on the edge of the river and enjoy a beautiful summer day. Sadly, we were not able to try any of the ice cream because we went for lunch however it looked delicious and the menu was large read more

Very affordable! Ordered three meals, drinks, and ice cream for 3 guests under $40. Appropriate portion sizes, homemade ice cream, food was great. Seating is outside only; although there are picnic tables, hopefully you're able to secure a table. Cons: Long lines. Very popular road side stop but expect to wait on a Friday night and weekends. It's conveniently located off Route 222/Adamstown Exit down Route 272. However, finding a parking spot and pulling in and out of here can be a little sketchy. Drivers disregard this popular food spot and will hammer the gas past this place. Triple check both directions before exiting. read more

Friendly staff. We only got ice cream the flavors were good. I was able to get a banana split with 3 different flavored of ice cream.

Fun place that is always crowded with people enjoying the nice weather, food and ice cream.

Food and ice cream are great! Nice people Benches for eating Shade Calming stream out back read more

We are local and this is a great spot. Today we just got a peach milkshake and a coconut cone for about $8 which is reasonable considering some places charge that much for just a milkshake. The line wasn't horrendous so we got our items within a few minutes. We were able to find a picnic table, but the ducks weren't out tonight. Love 'bear-ring-ers' and their cute tshirts too! read more

Cute place friendly staff. It reminds me of old time ice cream place we went as a kid.

I have tried and tried to like this place but they make it impossible. They put the wrong flavor ice cream in my sundae, they can't make change so don't bring cash, today I got a milkshake it had one scoop of ice cream it tasted like milk only. Very very runny. No nice cream flavor. One time I asked for extra hot fudge when I ordered, she took the order took my money and another lady yelled make sure you charge her extra! She already had! Like I was there to steal hot fudge! Ridiculous this is just this season!!' There was more! It's what they do - ice cream fries and sandwiches. Yet they just can't get it right read more

Everything was great!! The service, prices, and the quality of the food was outstanding!

My parents brought me here as a child for ice cream. It still has that nostalgic charm. There are picnic tables outside by a creek. Often ducks are in the creek. The food is good. Old time drive-in food, freshly made. What is really remarkable is the staff. Pretty much exclusively high school & college age. When they say thank you & have a good evening, they say it like they mean it. The courtesy, manners and professionalism are truly unrivaled. Also, they are smiling when they speak to you. read more

Every thing is the best! Love this place. Great food great prices. Wide cc variety of foods

Cute place and great location, it's beautiful. We went at 4 pm and it was packed. Service was great- they were pleasant and nice. The food is just okay, we got 2 burgers and 2 cheesesteaks. The burgers were over cooked and dry, the cheesesteaks were good, but the meat a little dry, but the cheese and onions made it better. We got a half gallon of sugar free butter pecan ice cream which was very good. All that for $30, which is a great deal when you are from NYC. Overall, it's okay. Not gourmet, but better than most fast food joints. read more

Long time favorite during the summer season for good burgers, ice cream and floats along the creek on the "old road". Can get busy which means a wait but it is worth it. read more

Been wanting to stop here for a while. The place was packed and everyone seemed to know everyone else - lots of locals. The service was fast and friendly. The menu is small, but what you would expect and the food is very good. Everything is made to order. Note, they are cash only. You order your food inside and then take it outside, find a picnic table and enjoy. There is a view of the creek and some ducks that appreciated my son's hotdog roll. Made his day. We will be stopping here again. COVID-19 update: They are open for the 2020 season. Masks are required when you order. Service is great and there are plenty of picnic tables. read more

The ice cream is five stars. They have a few flavors you rarely find elsewhere, including my favorite, Coconut. Others like Lemon, Pineapple, and Chocolate Almond Amaretto as well. It's all made in-house, and the half-gallons are really a half-gallon. This is the reason to go here. The food is three stars. It's good, but nothing special, and it's gotten a little pricey. Everything has, but back in the 80s and 90s, it was a bargain and I ate here a couple times a week, now I eat here maybe once a year when my relatives are in the area (aside from getting some half gallons for at home). read more

It breaks my heart to give Boehringer's an average score since I have grown up eating at this drive-in, but lately it has been subpar. Boehringer's is a small drive-in and has been around for years. They offer a classic menu of burgers, fries, hotdogs, milkshakes, and ice cream with a few other options. It's located along a creek so there are picnic tables along the water for a romantic scene. There are often ducks that swim up to you too (they love the french fries fyi). Unfortunately, the food/service is not as good as the atmosphere. Their portion sizes are very small and they take an incredibly long time to prepare your order, even if no one is in line ahead of you. We often go to Boehringer's for ice cream and end up waiting 5-10 minutes for a single scoop. The wait is much longer for food. The inside is also very crammed and can get hot in the summers. Overall, I'd recommend Boehringer's for the true drive-in feel and river scene. I probably wouldn't make a special trip though for the food. read more

So this drive in is fun for the kiddies because it's next to a creek with ducks and you can feed the ducks and throw rocks in the water and whatnot. You order inside and they bring your box out and call your name when it's ready. There's two food lines and a separate one for ice cream only. They added a 3% convenience fee for using cards this year. Never had that before as I can remember. We've been coming here for 5 years and last year I remember the food was not as good, like they changed the brand of burger or something. They are cold and dense. This is my first day back this year and it hasn't improved. My kid said the American cheese tasted weird. My burger had too much mayo and went slippy slidey out of bun. The fries were fine and the milkshakes are good. I'll give it a 3 but two year ago I would have said 5. read more

Excellent!!!! Great ice cream and great food, at a reasonable price. And also very good customer service.

This is a cute little roadside/Creekside drive-in or walk up. Really cute little spot that reminded me of the first hotdog stand. I worked at as a teen. Homemade ice cream malts shakes a really good Chicago dog with chips. Made this a perfect afternoon stop expect a line but the service is fast! read more

Family friendly, community focused, this popular ice cream and grill deserves a try. Nice view of the creek while you enjoy your cone.

I grew up going to (and working at) Boehringers. I love the simplicity of the food and the homemade ice cream is outstanding. On this visit I enjoyed a cheesesteak with sauce and onions and French fries. If you haven't tried the Chocolate Butter Fudge ice cream, I highly recommend! Grab a picnic table and enjoy a nice day eating good food and being around nature. read more

This place is like a hidden gem! On the way home from Lancaster and happened to find this place that was open on a Sunday for a bite to eat. We got 2 California burgers, fry, and large drink for $12. Super reasonable prices and the food was amazing. The buns were so soft and the fries were perfectly crispy. I can't say enough about how good it was! Due to the pandemic they have changed ordering a bit you now order food from one window and ice cream from the other side. I got a double scoop of coconut and coffee on a cone and my boyfriend got a strawberry banana milkshake for $8. The milkshake is one of the best I have ever had and the coconut ice cream was amazing. read more

Area institution with outstanding ice cream and good drive-in fair including california cheesburgers, hot dogs, fries, etc. I'm a big fan of the coconut and strawberry ice cream, but you cant really make a bad choice here. They also have a selection of sundaes, milkshakes and floats, and you can get their ice cream in half pints to take home. Just great food and ice cream, the perfect setting for a weekend lunch with family during the summer. This place does get pretty packed around lunch time and dinner hours, so plan accordingly. As of this writing, they've designated one side of the building for food ordering, and the other for ice cream. They've handled Covid precautions extremely well, and put the health of their customers and staff first. They've also added POS terminals, so they now take cards as well as cash. One additional tip: Boehringer's is on a well-traveled and fairly busy road, and the parking lot area is narrow and often full, so use caution entering and exiting the parking lot. read more

Tried the food here once and it was nothing great. Typical hamburgers/hot dogs. The ice cream is good, but a bit on the pricey side. Ordered a sundae and was pretty disappointed at the small size. Not much topping, either. It is nice to sit by the water and feed the ducks. The most enjoyable part of my visit. read more
