Good but basic soft serve…read more Quick review for a quick service. Place is a little out of the way, served from the back of a gas station off the main road. The menu is very simple, and the price is okay. Quality of the soft serve is actually pretty good. The trouble is location. Its identity will always be tied to the gas station and the maintenance of the grounds is good for the lawn but not the building it occupies. So the lawn looks good and the quality of the ice cream was good but the building does give off a vibe. It's good and functional soft serve, but that's all.

Going to Shady Glen is a bit like stepping back in time. It's that 'old timey' ice cream parlor,…read morefrom the decor to the servers (outfits), to the food. Nostalgia. Memories. A stop on the way back to UCONN when I was a student there. The "go to" place after our kids' school events. Shortly after we moved to Manchester, over 38 years ago, the restaurant was closed for renovations. We were looking forward to seeing the revamped restaurant. Well, we were even more surprised when we stepped in the door - nothing had changed! Cleaner, perhaps new Naugahyde on the seats, but that mural on the wall was the same - those elves were timeless. When you sit down, you get a small paper cup of water. The menus are on the the wall - soups, sandwiches & ice cream. I'd always heard they had a patent on the way their cheeseburgers were made - a burger topped with crispy cheese. A must have. Prior to Covid, the condiments tray had ketchup, mustard & chopped onions. Now, there are packets of the condiments. No onions though. We shared an order of fries - crispy & good. I was too full to have ice cream after our meal, so we brought a half gallon (yes - a real half gallon) of our favorite flavor home - chocolate almond joy. Yum! Note - you need cash. No cards. There is an ATM in the restaurant.

Since it's a popular choice, expect crowds til late afternoon for lunch. I didn't notice their breakfast menu among those posted on the walls, but apparently it is served til 11am. As for lunch, the cole slaw is surprisingly superior to most if not all other diners/cafes. Though prices have increased with inflation, still a great value and more competitive than many other comparable places in the state. Furthermore, the consistent taste and nostalgic ambiance are all still intact. Main offerings are between-bread - i.e., sandwiches, so limited options if you have dietary restrictions like having to eat gluten-free (soups contain gluten; I didn't ask if any of the platters could be made GF though), but their iconic fried cheese is still available as an a la carte side. Ice cream flavors include seasonal highlights like pumpkin chocolate chip, and their shakes are generous and delicious. I recommend asking what additional flavors they have available that are not listed on the wall menu. If there are kids in your party, be sure to look out for the table placard with the Children's Menu; the kids in our group enjoyed the chicken platter which included fries, a drink, and 2 substantial breaded chicken fillets.

The cows were being herded back into their barn and the farmer was incredibly friendly talking to us about the cows. Usually when you stop into a farm, the farmers tend to ignore you, however I felt I was welcomed into their property with open arms. I enjoyed the ice cream and the photo ops! Make sure to stop by here for refreshing treats and some cute pics!

Perfectly fine soft serve…read more This is very much a place you take the little ones to for that quick sweet treat. They got that custom mix soft serve machine which is pretty much like a blizzard that they mix flavor concentrate into rather than mix ins. It's a decent quality soft serve base, and the price is reasonable for the area. It's not award winning or great, but it's good enough. I would skip the flavors (lots of them have the extract problem where the concentrate has too much chemicals in it which translates to the ice cream). But it's quick and decent ice cream.

Theres always new flavors to try, although I am a big fan of Peanut Butter. There are always people there, but the service is quick and there is never a long wait. It's the perfect place to relax on a nice hot summer day. They have picnic tables to sit and enjoy on. The only trouble we have is soft serve ice cream tends to melt fast, so it's going to make a mess, so be prepared- especially with those sprinkles. Also, Free Sprinkles! It's the little things- kids love it and you don't feel like you are being nickel and dimed for toppings.
