    Quick service and great prices! I got a Chicago style hotdog, delish! My husband got a cheeseburger, delish! And we got milkshakes. My husband got the famous strawberry shake and we can see why it is famous. I got the coffee ice cream shake and it was so good. They have a great little patio to sit and eat. Loved it!

    Great mural!

    We kept seeing Nancy's on the way to the beach and knew we needed to stop by. The ice cream mural on the side of the building is so awesome and eye-catching! You walk up to order from the windows, and we picked up some Chicago dogs, a chocolate shake, and a cup of Unicorn Stars, which was a fun and colorful flavor featuring "sparkly glitter star candies and magical sprinkles," and it came with a fun color changing spoon! The staff was friendly and efficient, and there's a nice seating area just to the side of the building near some of the neighboring shops. Some are even under the overhang, so despite the fact that it had rained on the day of our visit, we had no problem finding dry seating. Cute place with a convenient location!

    My kids wanted sorbet but I am a sucker for coffee ice cream in a waffle cone, so that's exactly what I planned to order. I double backed to Nancy's, unsure where or what to do... when I originally walked by, there wasn't anyone there, but now the line wrapped around the corner... however, the line did move pretty quickly and the man taking the orders was very chill and easy to take orders. I listened to him take small and large orders, from ice cream to lots of hot dogs!!! There's a cute little outdoor eating area w umbrellas for shade but this was too good not to share!

    WRONG HOURS

    Stopped for late lunch. In a great location for the lake and shops. Cheeseburger, Philly cheesesteak, cheese curds, Chicago dog, Chicken wrap, pretzel. Ice cream, shake and float too.

    The service was very poor. The fry's where hot that was a plus on top of the over priced food. For a tourist stop this is not a warm staff.

    yummy!!! I got the buckeye blitz & mackinac island peanut butter fudge. It was amazing. They had so many unique flavors to choose from. I would love to return and try something different. Everyone else I was with were happy with their icecream & shake

    We loved the ice cream but the root beer float was sub par. Could've used a better quality root beer. Scoop size of ice cream is generous. Nice color changing straw.

    Great ice cream. I had the chocolate peanut butter and it had Reese's peanut butter cups! Mini chocolate chip and cookie dough did not disappoint. Root beer float was also good. The thing that needs improvement is the wait. We waited quite some time for our order. Staff is nice. Picnic tables were clean.

    We went for ice cream, and enjoyed it! However, the ice cream was quite melty already when we got it.

I got the chili dog, fries and bug mug of root beer, and it was incredibly delicious, and what's best is the prices seem to be immune to inflation. The vibes of the area are your classic drive in style (we chose to sit at tables outside as opposed to stay in car though). I also nibbled on my family's burger, hot dogs, and chicken strips--all incredibly tasty. The service was timely, kind, and welcoming.

    Five Star Food and Service!…read more Since Caleb Williams scored 4 touchdowns this past Sunday, a famous Chicago eatery offered free hot dogs on Tuesday, 9/23. I couldn't make it there, but Carlson's was near where I work, so I decided to give them a try. Let me tell you: I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED! The drive up model with car hops to serve you is a glorious throwback to the days of my childhood. Excellent. I ordered 2 Chicago Dogs, 2 Coney Dogs with extra onions, and 2 Maxwell Street Polish. I also got a mug of Root Beer to drink while I waited on my order. FOLKS, their Root Beer is exceptional! That recipe has to be proprietary! The sassafras note was strong and sweet. It was so good...I would sell my Momma to the Huns for another mug of that delicious nectar! The dogs were all very good. My oldest daughter does not usually eat hotdogs, so I didn't bother buying 3 of each dog...MY MISTAKE! She devoured my Chicago Dog and my Coney Dog! She raved about them! The icing on the cake was that a lot of my students work there, so it's always nice to see them working in the community. The owner is also very nice, community minded, and charitable. If you're in the area, please check out Carlson's Drive In!

My friend and I were waiting for them to call our order number but it was taking a while so I went to the counter and the order had been ready sitting there they just weren't calling out the orders. I'm glad I went up otherwise my food would have gotten cold! I'm not sure if their sound systems were down to call out the order numbers for pick up or if they just don't do that. I came here with my friend as I had never tried the beef sandwich and she highly recommended the cheese fries. I also heard great things about the chocolate cake slice. I added peppers to the beef sandwich to give it some spice but besides that it was bland! I was disappointed but I thought the Chicago dog would make up for it but the bun was soggy. The best part of my order were the cheese fries and I got a free slice of chocolate cake since it was my birthday month! The chocolate cake was the best chocolate cake I've ever had that wasn't homemade. Very moist and lots of frosting! I would come back for the fries and the cake, but I wouldn't order the beef sandwich or Chicago dog again.

My two granddaughter's and I stopped there for a sandwich after shopping at the Lighthouse Mall. To say the woman that took our orders was unfriendly, is an understatement. She was an older woman with short hair. My granddaughter ordered a Patty Melt on white bread, this woman's response was "we don't have white bread." My granddaughter asked for a substitution because she doesn't like rye bread. Answer: "that's all we have." Did not offer to put it on a hamburger bun, which is white bread. I ordered a salad. I was told "no salad's today." I then ordered a fish sandwich and a cheeseburger, with two sides of mayonnaise, one for fish and one for cheeseburger. The woman who was cooking brought one side of mayonnaise. When I told her I needed another, her response "I already gave you one." The food was okay, service TERRIBLE. I would never go back. I'm in the restaurant business and would never treat customers the way we were treated yesterday. And to add insult to injury, I was charged .50 for a cup of water. This is the worse $27.90 (my check) that I will never see again! Thelma J. Garcia tgarcia701@comcast.net
