    "Fall dog"
    Wilsy A.

    If I could've given it a half star, I would've...... I cannot believe how flabbergasted I was to see all of these "great" reviews for it to all be hoax. I'm supportive of ALL small businesses everywhere & those who know me, know this. I just can't let people keep thinking that this is a "must try" spot? I decided to give this establishment a shot while driving back home. I was starving & told myself I'd finally be down to try Rose Dairy. First off, the staff on site this day didn't seem to want to be there what so ever. They didn't provide us with a receipt which is a norm to me, if ordering whether that's to stay or to-go. Before grabbing my food at their pick-up window, more patrons had started to come; making me think it must be good so let me be patient. The entire order was wrong, one way or another. There were no fries, when we ordered a combo. The "crispy chicken sandwich" had school like chicken tenders and I doubt adding anything to it would've made the taste any better. I tried to dip it in their "Mac sauce" which we payed for & it tasted like mayonnaise with a touch of color. I didn't take a picture of the "cheeseburger" which was just a beef patty on a bun, because they forgot all the toppings I asked them to add. The "fall dog" was basically a chili cheese hotdog, truly dreadful, & I wish I didn't have to say that. I've had plenty of chili cheese dogs before and this one was the worst, it was also FREEZING cold? I only walked like 7 feet to my table right next to where I picked it up..... I'm super disappointed, will not be returning not even for their mid flavored pumpkin shake which I didn't take a photo of because at that point I was pissed.

    Rose Dairy reminds me of an old-fashioned outside ice cream shop with grill food options. No gimmicks,nothing fancy, just good. They had more then a dozen hard serve ice cream flavors, soft serve was vanilla, chocolate, and swirl. They also have shakes,sundays, hotdogs, burgers, variety of sandwiches,fries,onion rings,etc. They do have outside seating. My wife and I had their excellent soft serve ice cream swirl. Next trip I will try one of their burgers.

    Peanut butter cup Razzle. Not exactly full, but very tasty.
    Scott K.

    A Cheshire "institution" and great warm weather spot for a bite to eat and a sweet finish. The only negative, and knowing ice cream is expensive everywhere these days, is that the Razzle (like a Blizzard) was very expensive. You can buy 3 "half gallons" of the supermarket ice cream on sale that week for the same price. I got a large peanut butter cup Razzle. The cup wasn't full either, but it was delicious.

    No love cheeseburger and "onion rings"
    Mike G.

    Got a cheeseburger and asked for onion rings instead of fries. Here's what I got. Burger was overcooked/charred and it just felt thrown together. No take out box, but instead it's a paper plate and tin foil. It's pricey too. When I complained about the onion rings I was told it was an up charge after I had already paid. The high schooler couldn't have been less interested in making it right. The manager got involved and made me a fresh onion ring, but it took way to long. Did not have ice cream but my Del's Lemonade which has real cut up lemons at every Del's in New England was void of those. Disappointed would be an understatement.

    How to know you're at Rose Dairy Bar.

    "Well, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Ms. Claudy Girl, you sure look…read moregood to me" (Elvis Presley) Sweet Claude's may be one of the more difficult to find ice cream stores around, so your mindset better be "determination" focused, because I guarantee you'll be very happy with your dish or cone. You'll find them tucked away pretty much out of view inside the Artsplace building (493 W Main) within the Ball and Socket Art Complex in Cheshire. They've been cranking out homemade ice cream since 1988, and we had a stellar experience when we visited. They have plenty of ice cream flavors (including some nonfat and sugar free), plus yogurts, sorbets and ices. Some of their interesting flavors are Claude's Cupcake, Dough - Si -Dough, Salty Pretzel, Smurf, and a "Banana Corner" which is a rotating selection of banana-based ice cream. How cool! I went with a 2-flavor small dish of Salty Pretzel and Triple Chocolate. The ice cream was smooth as silk and full of flavor. Seriously, their ice cream is terrific, and at $5.35 for a big enough cup, was a very fair value. PRO TIP Because Sweet Claude's is in the Ball and Socket Art Complex there are many sections within the complex to park your car. But only park in front of Sweet Claude's if you plan on staying there for no more than a half hour. Visitors to the rest of the complex or the Farmington River Trail should leave those precious spots to the ice cream afficionados!

I sampled one flavor that I thought was decent, but I decided to order the Red Velvet Cake flavor which looked good and tasty. I liked the Red Velvet Cake flavor. It was a bit of a cheat code in the best possible way. I mean -- combine ice cream and one of the best cakes, and you're ahead of the game. The waffle cone was good too, but it had a big hole in the bottom. Luckily, I noticed Dixie cups on the counter. So I just placed the cup under the cone. Service was pleasant and efficient. Sundae Afternoon was a good ice cream shop and is worth visiting. I wouldn't say it's with the top tier CT places though. Four Stars

Upon arriving, the ladies serving you were the sweetest. Offering us a taste of the ice creams, announcing their specials and pointing out pre-made frozen treats in a separate freezer across from the main counter. The main counter has all the hard ice creams on display. They have hard ice creams from The Ice Cream Club, a company from Florida. This is my first time trying this ice cream and different the other ice cream shops in the area who serve Giffords Ice Cream, Praline's Ice Cream, etc. They have a few dairy-free options too. I got two scoops of the Stellar Coffee flavor. The ice cream was light, rich coffee flavor with a thick fudge swirl and a generous amount of mini dark chocolate coffee cups. My husband tried the Strawberry Shortcake Bomb, their take of the Good Humor bar. There was strawberry ice cream in the center, wrapped in vanilla, and rolled in the strawberry shortcakes pieces. They had other fun flavors and treats like a Neil's Donut Ice Cream Sandwich (would love to try this next). Sundae Afternoon is in a great area that we pass by often. It's next to a Subway and across the street from the Yalesville Veterinary Hospital. They have dog friendly ice cream treats too. For a small shop, it's very open. The dining area is spacious, walls painted in a fun, bright orange color. Can't wait to see more of Sundae Afternoon and what they have in store when the weather heats up!
