Blueberry in a waffle cone. Dissapointing.
Patrick M.

Recently I was in Connecticut doing firework shopping. After a few hours of being in the hot sun I wanted ice cream. I had drove by here earlier in the day so I looked online and it said they had blueberry ice cream (my favorite ice cream flavor). Without looking up other ice cream places I decided to come here. I rarely find blueberry ice cream so I was excited. I get here and it's an ice cream place at a garden store. They had a good variety of ice cream flavors plus they had other food. I got 1 scoop of blueberry ice cream in a waffle cone. The portion was huge. I sat down in the little area they had. The blueberry ice cream was lacking flavor big time. For the waffle cone it was even worse, it was soft and didn't have a good flavor. Big disappointment.

Open during the summertime Deary Bros Mike's Stand serves many different seafood and American…read moreoptions. They have sandwiches, lobster rolls, fried seafood, as well as ice cream. They have an open picnic seating area. My favorite was the whole belly clam as well as the french fries. Everything with crispy and fried to perfection. I wish the portions were slightly bigger for the cost (the clams and shrimp, there were a lot of scallops however) but I understand that seafood market prices are going up every year. However, the food was very fresh, and I was able to share this entrée with my friend and still be content. My friend ordered ice cream as well and he really enjoyed it. He got the strawberry cheese cake ice cream and the girl who scooped the ice cream really loaded it up for him. Staff were friendly, polite, and welcoming. A lot of locals were walking in the area and it was a very relaxing/chill spot to stop by. Overall A for food quality and pricing, food portions B+.

Please forgive me for not taking pics of the food we ate. My wife and I went here with her parents…read moreand this is what we ordered, for $60: 2 cheeseburgers, 1 king cheeseburger, fish sandwich, half pint clam strips, half pint clam bellies, fries, onion crisps and a small chocolate shake. The fried food was a little cold but really tasty. My fish sandwich was so simple and very delicious. Chocolate shake was the bomb. Clams and fires, good. It's ridiculously inexpensive to eat here and the setting is pretty peaceful considering it's smack dab in a residential neighborhood. Kind staff too. This place is worth the stop.

I love Nikki's! My husband and I eat here atleast once a month and their hotdogs are consistently…read moredelicious. We usually get the Mexican and the coney and really enjoy the combo! Their service is hit or miss however, the cashiers have never been super warm, and there are times Itll take us 25 minutes to get 2 hot dogs and there won't be many people waiting - but when we're not in a hurry it's worth the wait, and when we're are in a hurry, they offer online ordering! I love the very old school diner vibe they have, the train inside is super cute and always gives us something to look at.

the service was good. the ambiance is appropriate for families with children…read more the problem is the food. the hotdog with beans was almost inedible. the hotdog tasted like it had never seen a grill and was boiled, tasting like a school lunch hotdog. the roll was unremarkable. in fact, I couldn't eat the whole thing. the beans definitely did not look or taste like any kind of Boston bean I have eaten. the onion rings were tasty, but a bit overcooked. My husband had the coney dog, he noted that a good hotdog needed a good roll. Neither the hot dog or cheeseburger had a good roll. He had a single burger, and to tell the truth, he would have had better food at McDonald's. at least there the bun would be proportionate to the burger. the sweet potato fries with maple syrup were interesting, but as the onion rings a bit overcooked. the reviews led us to try this resturant. The parking in the area isn't great and despite the staff and environment we will not return, nor will recommend this "best hot dog" place to anyone we know Lynne

Been here on numerous occasions a long time ago, and we were satisfied, but after a couple of…read morevisits, we have seen the place go downhill. This is quality of food, and cleanliness, which caused us to avoid the place for 3+ years. So we decided to stop in for an all or nothing visit. Food quality has greatly improved, always seemed hot and fresh. Cleanliness was top notch. Usually the buffet places are nothing special, but this place stands out. The pu pu platter type of food was very good, with hardly a greasy taste. The other standard Chinese dishes were also very good. So much so, that we prefer it to the other Chinese places in town. Only thing is they have crawfish instead of crab legs. We didn't try them, but usually this place use to stand out because of them. There should be any problem to stop in here and give it a try.

Ok. This place was not good. We are still trying to find a good Chinese food place and this place…read morewas not it! We went to the buffet. We asked for tea and water and my kiddos got orange soda. We went to the buffet where we noticed the quality of food didn't look so great but we decided to stick to it. We came back to the table and sat down with our food. Right away I noticed the back wall at the table behind the napkins was filthy. And quickly after my husband showed me his cup for the tea. It was disgusting! And I looked at mine and it too was so dirty! I put two ice cubes in it so that I could wet the inside and wipe it out with a napkin. (See the photos of my dirty cup and the napkin of the stuff I wiped out of my cup). Nasty! Obviously their dishwasher isn't doing the job. The silverware was also very tarnished and I wiped stuff off of them too! The service was meh. The food was flavorless and of poor quality. The only thing I found that was decent was the chicken and broccoli. The crab rangoons were chewy but the filling was ok. We finished eating and left. We all agreed that we would not return to this place. It was dirty and the food was lacking! Don't waste your money! Go elsewhere! They obviously don't care about their business. This place could be so much better if they tried!
