Well the chocolate they make is really amazing. 5 stars for that…read more This review is specific for the ice cream portion of the business. 3 stars for that, but weighted overall to consider the chocolate portion of the business. They don't volunteer that they have kid size, which is smaller than one scoop, even when you walk in with a two year old. I really wish they had, or given me more time to look at the menu to see for myself. One scoop is WAY too much for a kid and plenty for an adult. Maybe it's up-selling, maybe they just pounced because we were the only ones there. The ice cream is good, but oddly all of the canisters are covered so you don't get to see the ice cream, you just choose by reading the descriptions. Thirdly they have no where to sit. A tiny bench that barely fits two people by the ice cream and another bench outside. So if you have three people together, you'll have to split up to stay and enjoy it. Also if the third person tries to lean on the wrought fence outside the shop, they are going to fall. That fence is no longer anchored and will be a hazard someday very soon.

The bar tenders were very friendly and offered me lots of samples, hard to turn that down. They have enough seating for large crowds and have a small patio during the summer to enjoy beer in the sun. Parking lot is small but they have street parking. It's close to other businesses and Lake Waconia.

Wow. Just wow. Their scones are SO GOOD. We made the 30+ minute trek out solely for this reason as…read morewe heard how great they were. I called to have them set aside one of each flavor for me earlier and so glad I did because they were sold out by mid morning. We had a blueberry, white chocolate raspberry, and caramel chocolate chip and we've had almost every scone in the twin cities and this easily ranks near the top! Will make that trek out again. It's a smaller space but wasn't too busy so was easy to sit and enjoy.

You absolutely would be missing out if you don't stop by here while in Waconia!

I tried the stag burger this time around though, and it was quite delicious! I was not so impressed with the Margarita pizza that my wife shared with me though. Unfortunately this Friday evening out on the patio they had a DJ doing some music. The volume level was appropriate for dinner, but it got a bit too heavy with club vibes as dinner progressed, which surprisingly, being The Chainsmokers fan that I am, I did not find myself appreciating. This place overall still has my recommendation, but I left a little bit let down compared to past experiences.

The blue cheese dressing on the salad was great! We liked the pulled pork sandwich however it kind of lacked flavor. It needed more salt or something.

Thankfully we arrived right in front of a rush and only waited 5 minutes before being escorted upstairs to a fairly isolated table. The ambience is old-school-diner and the service is back-to-basics. No overwhelming friendliness or chatty interchanges. They all just keep moving, working and trying to keep up. It's not a big restaurant, even with the upstairs seating -- maybe 25-30 patrons per level and I counted at least 9 employees. That's a high ratio. That said, service was slow. We waited longer than I would have expected to have our order taken (10+ minutes), but that's really my only gripe. It's not enough to lose a star though -- and like I said, it's all worth the wait. The food is incredible. That's why you are here. The serving sizes are generous. The food comes out hot. And the flavors are excellent. I enjoyed a corned beef and hash -- substituting the country potatoes for crispy hashbrowns, topped with scrambled eggs and my date enjoyed a kitchen sink omelette with hashbrowns. We both LOVED our choices and I'll just highlight -- the corned beef is slow cooked (8 hours) and chunky. It's incredible. We talked about how we needed to bring our family and friends to the little gem of a diner.
