The staff was friendly and willing to check what type of oil they use to fry their food due to one of my food allergies. When the food came out it was fresh and delicious! After eating lunch we had some ice cream. Where I live now does not have soft serve ice cream and a special treat for me! If you are in the area, I highly recommend you stop at Karen's!

Its problem however is that it is being run by young amateur, irresponsible kids! I do not know whether it is the owner's choice but this place lights are always off, even when I am siting inside these kids will turn off the light and they will argue inside with each other that they are closing in one hour or that they day lights are enough, with disregard to the customers sitting inside! Sprinkle water on each other and such behaviors where customers do not need to see. They need lots of cleaning and organization! They have potential for improvement with proper training and supervision

I believe this place has changed hands many times. The Kool Dipper I remember as a kid was awesome…read more There were always tons of people there, the ice cream was fantastic and the prices weren't terrible. Now? Not so much. Prices are fine. But the ice cream was awful and the service was terrible. Not a single person was even there...guess there was a reason for that. All summer, I never saw a crowd outside and that place used to be full of people. I believe the same people who own Brooklyn Pizza now own this. They should stick with Pizza, they know what they are doing there. I would recommend to the owner that you speak with your staff about how to provide customer service and just how to be friendly in general. It will go a long way for your business.

I was totally surprised by the lack of acknowledgment and the disrespect in his tone.

I took my family out for ice cream on national ice cream day and received such disrespect at the hands of a Stewart's employee. If I could give 0 stars for customer service I truly would!

I was with my father who i drove to the store because he is handicap and just recently survived a stoke. He has no use of right arm and with his left arm he has to handle his cane. He was buying alcohol and ice cream so i had to carry everything because he physically can not carry anything with that kind of weight. She started off completely disrespectful and asked for my id which then he continued to pull out his id because he was the one purchasing the drinks. She then went on to say that she can not sell him the alcohol because it is against their policy for me to help my dad carry it out??? I'm not the one they were for. I'm simply carrying it for my father that physically cannot. So extremely frustrating.

I've been coming to Raindancer for years and I honestly can't remember ever having a bad meal here. It's one of those dependable restaurants where you know you're going to leave happy. Back before COVID they had a legendary salad bar and I REALLY wish they would bring it back. I'm not even a huge salad person and I still looked forward to it every time I came here. It was fresh, loaded with options, and honestly one of the best restaurant salad bars around. Raindancer, if you're reading this, bring back the salad bar!!! The ribs here are excellent. Always tender, flavorful, and they give you a very good sized portion. I've brought several friends here over the years and everyone has always enjoyed their meals. The restaurant has a nice rustic feel to it that fits the atmosphere perfectly. The food is consistently great and the staff has always been friendly and attentive whenever I've visited. Small negative is there are no free refills on soft drinks. I believe it's always been the case here atleast as far back as I can recall. For me it should be a big deal because I live sodas it's an integral part of my dinner. But yet i like it here a lot so I forgive it. That says something. Keeping my soda filled is one was I rate servers. If they do it without me asking they are ontop of their game to me. But Ike I said that's not applicable here. Just keep it in mind. But for me, the crown jewel here is the chocolate mousse pie. It is fantastic. Light, fluffy, rich without being too heavy, topped with whipped cream and little chocolate morsels. It's absolute heaven. They also have a peanut butter mousse pie that I keep telling myself I'm going to try someday, but every time I come here I can't bring myself to pass on the chocolate mousse pie. Maybe one day... although probably not. It's just too good. They have a take out window. Sometimes if I'm in the area I quickly pick some up for desert. It's so worth it.

It does look like they may have tried to spruce it up at some point but not well. Prices are up there, and the food inconsistent. I had the French onion soup and it was delicious, I followed that with the copped chicken salad and it was awful. Cold pre frozen chicken and absolutely no taste whatsoever to the salad base. Even slapping on salad dressing didn't help. We also ordered the prime rib, now this dish came out perfectly, hot and just as described. It had great flavor. The drinks, soda and ice tea were a ridiculous price, nearly $4 each with no refills. All in all a disappointing meal for almost $100 and nope, no return visit, I believe they are just resting in their laurels of past days.
