Ice cream menu
Jennifer E.

Very good ice cream and dairy bar/snacks summer food as well. Service is fast and courteous. There is a lovely seating area with umbrellas. Pleasant in the dimmer and even more in the fall. Cash only but they have an ATM. Careful backing out and leaving; crowds and cars racing down make it challenging. Happy Westchester tradition and not too many of these places around. You have to go upstate for all of them.

I love this place! It's one of the only places that has fried clams in our area. I stopped in for a fried clam platter and a clam roll. They were both amazing! Crispy delicious sweet clams. Perfectly done. It's always clean and nice and the people working there are beyond accommodating.

After a really yummy dinner we wanted a sweet treat and decided to get king kone. On the side of the ride it's an unassuming location but the ice cream was great! We got the double chocolate which was good but not amazing. Supposed to have extra brownie bits in the ice cream but just tasted like regular chocolate ice cream. Terrible parking

Store front showing flavor signage

FIRST time rookie at King Kone. Picture shows all the flavors that they sell. There is another menu to the right containing a lot more items. One needs to step off the long line(a GOOD thing) to decide your choice! Unsure if the ice cream is homemade(or not) but it's good. We will return! Best to go at an "off" hour. There are picnic tables to the side to enjoy your

Rude lady!
Isabella O.

Ice cream and food were good. Service was horrible, the older lady at the window (short hair, older) was incredibly rude and gave attitude the second we stepped on line. That is not a way you speak to customers!

The food is delicious I've tried the lobster roll and French fries very tasty. I've tried the pistachio ice cream the butter or can ice cream the monkey business ice cream which oh so delightful. Depends on what you like. The service is always impeccable. Very kind young ladies at the window to serve you. Very peaceful sitting outside also. Very calming with the tasty flavors . You will definitely want to stop by. This ice cream is better than any supermarket ice cream. Please believe. Happy eating....

Cookie Dough

Coffee fudge toffee ice cream is my go to non-soft serve here Soft serve is good. We did attempt a king kone once You can order a scoop of just cookie dough Lobster roll is surprisingly good and has decent amount of meat. Heart Attack burger is where it's at - the crispy fried mac and cheese layer is surprisingly good. Fries are decent. Family friendly, outdoor seating, long lines, very little parking, great hangout spot.

Busy roadside place. Parking can be tough as lot is small, a lot of people just park on the busy road or make shift spots We moved through the line super quickly, as most people were in the food line. Ice cream was delicious and sizes huge imo, truly couldn't finish the small. Cash only. I don't consider myself lactose intolerant whatsoever and crush hard scooped ice cream daily from the grocery store. but this soft serve lowkey destroyed my stomach. i'm wondering if it has some sort of additive or higher percent lactose? idk but fyi to anyone's who's a little more on the sensitive side, maybe try hard scoop. my partners sundae of banana and almond coconut was heavenly! it was a bit pricier than expected for the area

Stopped by there for the first time. We have driven by so many times and I always wondered how an ice cream can draw such a line all the time. I found out!! This ain't just ice cream and custard. They have EVERYTHING! I did enjoy a dessert, as we just ate next door, But it was delicious and I'm coming back soon for a Lobster Roll, Hot dog, fried clams, burgers...the list is endless. The kids who work here are Friendly and Polite..This place is not just a food shack..it's a local Landmark!! Definitely stop by and check it out. Enjoy!!

We went on a Saturday night total of 6 in our group. The restaurant was packed! We had a…read morereservation and were seated right away. We had a lovely, efficient and personable waitress, Alexa. We started with some cocktails from the specials menu; they were fabulous. We ordered 2 apps to share to start; the fried calamari and the shrimp dumplings. Both were very good. One small point; there were six in our group and only 5 dumplings! Might have liked them to realize that and give us one more! I ordered the orecchiette pasta - it was outstanding! Two of us ordered the shrimp and polenta; one with the chorizo and one without! Much appreciated that they were able to (happily) make that accommodation. Others had the Chicken Milanese, the BBQ ribs and the salmon. All our meals came out together and all hot! This place is truly a find! Will definitely go back!

Stopped here for dinner one night coming back from Mt Kisco because traffic was backed up on 684…read more We were greeted warmly by the hostess and seated at a nice table. It was a Thursday night and there were several parties having dinner and the bar had a good crowd too. We started with a Buffalo Shrimp appetizer. It was a good portion so we took half of it home and it made a delicious lunch the next day! I had the Farmhouse Burger and I devoured it. I loved the caramelized onions. I was so full, I couldn't finish my fries so I took them home with the shrimp. They also reheated nicely...very crisp. It's nice to get two meals out of one dinner. My husband wanted tiramisu since he had the lemon chicken, which was a little lighter (and he also took half of his home for lunch the next day). The tiramisu was delicious. Service was friendly, prompt and professional all evening. I will definitely return as there were other things on the menu that looked good and their cocktail menu also intrigued me.

I was so suprised to see that they have a small bar inside service craft beers and wines as well as a beautiful little courtyard with seating inside and out. The deli is clean and the food looks delicious!!! I will definitely be back for a yummy sandwich and a nice cold local beer or two. Im supper excited that I found this great local (mom and pop) type establishment..I hesitate to call it a Deli as it is so much more then that. Can't wait to visit it again ( Properly ) next time and enjoy a great meal!!! If you find yourself near the Katonah train station, treat yourself to this place and Enjoy!!

Originally, this place wasn't on my map. However, it quickly came into consideration once I had…read moreconsidered taking the train from Katonah instead of driving all the way to Long Island from Waterbury, CT and looked at Katonah's parking situations. As you can tell by the existence of this review, I had decided to get to Bellmore I would park in the parking lot next to this business until I got back. This place does kind of give me a Rocky Balboa vibe upon entering, which isn't a bad thing at all. Some of the names of the menu items are even inspired from the movies such as The Balboa and The Italian Stallion. Beyond that, this place does take a little learning, but ordering is pretty simple once you know what you're doing. You don't pay for the order until you get your food, and you pay right by the front door. This is something I could see going awry if the wrong kind of people were to come here and requires an amount of trust in the customers that can make some nervous people uncomfortable. Really though, beyond that the service here is really good. I did have to remind the cashier to get my bill right when it was my turn to pay, so there is also that to consider. I did The Spartan Stack and some Mac and cheese bites because when I was returning to Katonah, I NEEDED something to eat right there and then. The Spartan Stack let me tell you got the spot just right, and I did appreciate some healthier ingredients such as cucumber in there. The Mac and cheese bites are a newer item as was The Spartan Stack, and those were pretty tasty. You get a chipotle sauce to dip them in, and let me just say that it does actually pack a punch of heat! All in all, a really satisfying lunch and I'm glad I came here. It's actually a great spot if you're commuting from the Katonah Station and it's very convenient. A good place indeed.
