Service was quick and pleasant. I went with a three scoop sundae with the "Mexican" topping. Seemed to be chocolate sauce and peanuts. Definitely enjoyed it. Good portion.

Bev's Ice Cream is a great place to end a summer day! The ice cream is absolutely delicious, and…read morethe beautiful setting makes it the perfect spot to sit outside and enjoy a cone on a Saturday evening. One thing to know before you go, they have separate cash-only lines and card-payment lines. Both lines move slowly, but the cash line is shorter, so if you have cash, it may save you some time. I also really appreciated how they handled my food allergy. When I asked about sprinkles, the employee washed her hands and used a fresh container of sprinkles to help avoid cross-contamination. That extra care meant a lot and made me feel much more comfortable ordering. Great ice cream, a gorgeous atmosphere, and thoughtful customer service make Bev's a place we'll happily visit again.

This is hands down one of my favorite ice cream shops now. There are so many delicious selections…read moreto choose from, ranging from hard ice cream, soft serve, a variety of toppings, shakes, frozen bananas, specialty cones and bowls, lemonade, slushies, Hawaiian shave ice, and more! I got a scoop of panda paws and a scoop of peanut butter chocolate with hot fudge, peanut butter sauce, and crunchies on top. It was so flavorful and the flavors blended together so well. My mom got soft serve chocolate and vanilla twist in a cone, my brother got vanilla soft serve in a cup, and my husband got a chocolate shake. Everyone enjoyed what they got very much. The staff were so friendly and quick which was a plus, and even though we went on a holiday Monday, it wasn't slammed with a long wait. We weren't sure if they were open or not since they made a social media post about the holiday, but didn't confirm in their post if they were open, closed, or had altered hours. We had to call a few times until someone answered and confirmed they were open. Parking is limited, but we were able to snag one of their reserved spots. I could see it being an issue if they're slammed, though, so be mindful of that. The outdoor seating available is beautiful and right on Lake Ontario. There are several picnic tables, benches, and an oversized Bev's chair! They also have lights strung up around their seating, which I bet looks beautiful in the night time, so I'll just have to make a night trip there one day. My family and I loved the time we spent together here. I will definitely be back and can't wait!

If you're looking for a classic summer experience, Rudy's Drive-In in Oswego is worth the stop…read more This old-school, à la carte drive-in sits right on the shores of Lake Ontario, and the setting alone makes it special. The lake views are beautiful, peaceful, and the perfect backdrop for a casual meal. One unique touch I loved was that they provide paper bags to cover your food when you're eating outside, a clever way to keep the seagulls from swooping down and stealing your meal! Inside, it's exactly what you'd expect from a traditional drive-in. The staff was friendly, efficient, and kept the line moving quickly. Plenty of parking with some space across the street too. Cleanish restrooms. One thing to know if you have food allergies, specifically a shellfish allergy, and they use shared fryers, so I couldn't safely order anything fried. I really appreciated their honesty and transparency. Between the friendly service, gorgeous waterfront location, and nostalgic atmosphere, Rudy's is a classic place that's easy to recommend.

"Great" is always relative to the palate using the word. After 80 years on the shore of Lake…read moreOntario, Rudy's carries a lot of lore opened by Rudy Gadziala and his wife Marie in 1946, now run by third-generation owner Jason Livesey, famous for its Texas hot sauce and the founder's old line about owning a "million dollar hot dog stand." Online reviews are all over the map, so we wanted to see for ourselves. We visited recently with our 7- and 8-year-old nephews, hoping to soak up the tradition. The reality was more transactional. The hostess took our order while sipping her own beverage likely why we were shorted an order of fries. Nice enough, but not especially professional or welcoming. The whole operation moves fast; the staff is determined and task-focused rather than friendly. You get a buzzer and wait. The interior was renovated in 2025, and it shows but not in a good way. The bright white walls and green banquettes feel sterile, more fast-casual chain than 80-year-old lakeside institution. In modernizing, they stripped out whatever nostalgia the old space had and put nothing back. Some local artwork, vintage photos, or lake history on those fresh white walls would go a long way. The food: the boys enjoyed their cheeseburgers, and the fries are genuinely good. The fish sandwich was generously sized but bland the batter had little flavor, and the tartar sauce didn't rescue it. For a place with an 80-year reputation built on fish, I expected more. The lobster mac and cheese left a lot to be desired. The tab: four drinks, two cheeseburgers with fries, lobster mac, and a fish sandwich with fries came to nearly $70 steep for a lakeside stand where fries alone run $5.25. The setting is lovely and the legacy is real. But sometimes generational ownership slips down a slick slope and making money starts to matter more than making memories.

You all have made this Stewart's feel like home away from home and it's amazing. There is a Dollar General right down the road that is closer to my home and I drive right by, why do I drive by?

After waiting at counter 5-7 minutes before anyone even took our order (it was just us there, they didnt take our order until a line started to form), we ordered 4 milkshakes and 1 scoop of icecream. The milkshakes were so thin, we couldn't even drink them. It was literally like drinking milk with a flavor, disgusting. And for the almost $40 spent on all of the icecream plus donuts, I am so disgruntled over this. My kids wouldn't even drink them. What a waste. I saw on the menu that thick milkshakes cost extra. How about just make us actual milkshakes? Why should I have to pay extra for my "milkshake" to not be the consistency of milk???
