We HAD to try the regional faves - orange chocolate and sponge candy! This was our first try and it…read morewas absolutely FABULOUS! The chocolate is smooth, creamy and perfectly dark or perfectly milk - either and both, as they are true to their names! The orange chocolate was "just a bit orange' - it isn't ORANGE chocolate, and we saw right off why this is a fave! The sponge candy - some wrapped in orange chocolate, some in dark and milk chocolate, and some sponge is even peanut butter! We were given generous sized samples, and bought enough for us and as gifts! The prices were all great, and considering the quality - VERY reasonable! The candy shop has truffles, candy by the piece / pound and just so much to choose from. We LOVED the smaller sized pieces, as we wanted to try a good number and we did! ALL have been excellent! Okay, the staff - they too could not be better! One young man said if we had any questions, just ask. He was IN THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY! But I DID ask him, he came out and gave me great info. Not that I want to make chocolates - but I love knowing all that I can and it was just the best place! All of the folks know so much about the company, their products and so much more! They are so friendly and kind. It was an amazing place to visit and shop at! AND, they have videos that show you all about the orange chocolate and the sponge candy! It shows the process, the ingredients, and tells about "secrets" that make Platters Chocolates THE BEST! Below the video screens you can watch the processes they use to make their candies and it too was fun to witness and learn from. Chocolate is just the best, and you can never know too much about chocolate! Platters was the perfect place to get a soft-serve cone as well. They have a good selection, and of course I was looking forward to Orange Chocolate. Nope, my husband chose that and I had S'mores soft-serve. Those cones were huge and absolutely DELICIOUS! Ultra chocolatey, but not "just chocolate"! The orange essence shown in just the right degree and the S'mores was very chocolatey (I was delighted for that!) and had all of the s'mores ingredients shining in it as well. Okay, we did share and I was happy about that too! The factory part of Platters is fun, informative and live for some - video for other parts. The "chocolate shop" where you enjoy the candies and ice creams, is open and inviting. It is busy enough, but enjoyable too. There is just so much to see and try, and so many choices that you just have to go back!

Not very many seats indoors. I don't know why their portions are so massive. Honestly you have to see it to believe it. Next time we are in this area, we will definitely be back!

Went to Lumberjacks and immediately realized this place has basically everything you need for a…read moregood afternoon: a great patio on the water, good food, decent prices (which in 2026 deserves its own five-star review), cold drinks, and live music that somehow managed to be loud enough to enjoy without making me question whether my hearing insurance was up to date. The menu is basically the greatest hits of American civilization: burgers, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, Italian sausage, decent ice cream selection, and for those under 12 who can still confidently recite the Pledge of Allegiance without accidentally starting with "In God We Trust." Free i scream you scream an ice cream cone!!! They've also got beer, wine, and mimosas, because apparently Sea worthy Lumberjacks believes in equality between breakfast, lunch, and questionable afternoon decisions. But i didn't live that dangerous and had bottomless raspberry tea which was absolutely delicious. Like, "Why have I been drinking regular tea like some kind of peasant?" delicious. The band was great, too. And then came the plot twist....They announced that Lumberjacks is closing at the end of the season because the property has been bought by the city. Cue the dramatic violin music. So apparently, after providing waterfront food, beverages, music, and a place for people to sit around enjoying themselves, civilization has decided we've had enough. The city has acquired the property, and the Lumberjacks era is coming to an end. Which is unfortunate because if I had a boat and an eye patch, I'd probably be permanently docked here by now. I'd have a raspberry tea in one hand, a beer in the other, and absolutely no idea where my boat came from. Great food. Great waterfront patio. Reasonable prices. Good music. Good drinks. And apparently a limited-time offer because the city is taking over. If you haven't been, go before the season ends. Because nothing says "support your local restaurant" quite like finding out it's being taken away and suddenly developing a deep emotional attachment to the place. 10/10 would return. 11/10 if I had a boat. 12/10 if someone gives me an eye patch. ‍

Western New York’s most beloved flavors come together under one roof at The Island Shoppe, located at 1966 Whitehaven Road, Grand Island NY. Grand Island, New York - The Island Shoppe is proud to announce exclusive partnerships with two of Western New York’s most iconic brands: Perry’s Ice Cream and Red Osier Roast Beef. These exciting collaborations make The Island Shoppe the only location on Grand Island—and one of the only in the region—offering both legendary local favorites in one place.
