Bacon cheese burger and fry
Dwaine C.

It is July and we got to sit inside at the air conditioned bar. Outside is covered and doable. I got a double cheeseburger. Do big. I should have got a single. Good juicy burger with everything. Crispy fries. My pineapple milkshake was delicious. Needed a spoon. Service is always friendly.

The Shake Pit is located directly on the south side of Cortez Road. There are plenty of seats. Burgers are plump juicy and well seasoned. The shakes have authentic flavor and perfect thickness. I've been eating here during trips to the beach for decades and it's never disappointed.

This is a cash-only establishment, but don't worry they have an ATM on-site if you need it. There are plenty of picnic tables outside, which makes it a nice spot to hang out, especially in good weather. They do offer some food options like cheeseburgers, hotdogs, corn dogs, and chicken sandwiches, but we came specifically for the ice cream and we were not disappointed. They have both soft serve and regular ice cream, including some specialty flavors. We ordered a banana split with rocky road, triple peanut butter, and siesta sea turtle (all specialty flavors). It ended up costing $17, which felt a bit steep--but honestly, it was huge. Two of us shared it and still couldn't finish. Easily enough for 4 people. The place was packed on a Sunday night around 8:45 PM, just before closing time, so it's clearly a popular spot. If you're craving ice cream and don't mind paying a little extra for a giant treat, it's worth a visit!

We have driven by here too many times to count and finally stopped. The menu board is a bit funky and not at all easy to read, but I knew I wanted ice cream with candy, whatever they called it. I think it was called a Spooner. I got a Butterfinger one and they even put a little extra Butterfinger on top. Their ice cream is very good so I think that means the fat content is high. The only thing I didn't like was the styrofoam cup. For me it's a sensory thing and I can't stand the scraping on styrofoam. There are numerous benches where you can sit, and the staff was friendly and efficient.

Atmosphere - Very nice. The front of the ice cream stand is enclosed by a large screened-in patio area that has a bunch of picnic tables. There are a few additional picnic tables in the front, outside of the screened-in area. The signage is a bit overwhelming. Service - Very Good. The person who took our order was friendly and helpful. Our order was prepared and presented in a very reasonable timeframe. Ice Cream - Very Good. I used to own and run an ice cream restaurant, so I am fairly knowledgeable in this area. The ice cream is a high quality product and tastes great. However, I ordered a chocolate & peanut butter milkshake and it was beyond thick. In fact, for all intents and purposes, it was basically soft serve in a milkshake cup. It was impossible to use a straw. I had to use a spoon. I did not realize this, as we took our order to our car and drove off. Otherwise, I would have returned it and requested one that had milk blended in sufficient to drink it with a straw. Value - Very Good. The prices are reasonable given the quality of the ice cream

Just recently they only had one vanilla frosted donut left and both my kids wanted one. Of course one wanted sprinkles and the other didn't. Without me even asking they offered to cut it in half and sprinkle half and then cut a different type of donut in half so they both had one full donut. It was hilarious and sweet all at the same time and saved me from a toddler melt down. We will continue to come back often and are so excited for the new location with the drive thru!

The staff was very nice, but that's the only good thing I've got to say. Two stars are for the…read morestaff. I ordered 2 scoops in a cup. No toppings, just ice cream. The cost was $7.50 for two scoops, $3.75 a scoop. My favorite ice cream store in NYC isn't even this expensive. I paid and told myself it must be made with really good ingredients for that price. I ordered the strawberry and banana crème brûlée flavors. Got to my car, tasted the ice cream. What a disappointment. The strawberry had NO FLAVOR and It had NO STRAWBERRIES. There was not one piece of strawberry in the scoop not even any seeds. It was barely even pink in color. Not sure if somebody messed up the recipe but there was no sign that this was strawberry ice cream. The banana ice cream also had no flavor and definitely no bananas or brûlée (caramelized sugar) for that matter. It was also supposed to have toffee chips which it did not. Clearly this place is lacking in quality. It's insulting to pay $7.50 for ice cream that wasn't what it was supposed to be. I had two scoops of ice cream base with no additional flavor. If the owners are ok with putting out product that is far from what they claim it to be, it's a one and done for me. My guess is they hope people order the sundaes etc loaded up with Reese's or other toppings and won't notice the flavorless ice cream. Good luck to them. UPDATE: OWNER RESPONDED saying I had the wrong business because they don't offer Reese's as a topping and that "isn't their pricing." I double checked and THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE RIGHT BUSINESS that I wrote about. My Reese's comment was a hypothetical thought. I didn't say I had it there. If the price I was charged isn't the right price, I suggest doing some research into your employees. There were 3 young kids working when I went in on Sunday evening. I WAS DEFINITELY CHARGED $7.50 FOR A CUP OF ICE CREAM WITH 2 SCOOPS. Personally I think this is not an appropriate response from the owner. How many ice cream stores offer banana crème brûlée ice cream? You know it was your store. My concern about the fact that there was no fruit or even flavor in the ice cream was not addressed. You try to write it off as my mistake and that I'm reviewing the wrong store. I'm in the food industry. This is no way to do business. Take some responsibility and or accountability. Perhaps an explanation as to why the ice cream had no fruit? Was it a bad batch? These things happen. I can understand that. Making excuses and not taking accountability, I can't deal with. If you want to have a successful business, I highly suggest you DO BETTER!
