    Great place to get ice cream! So many unique flavors! Got the 'dirty water' it is coffee ice cream…read morewith brownie chunks and chocolate chips they also have a full food menu. The ice cream is Giffords from MA. So nice tucked back in the woods. Tables with umbrellas to sit at, and if you walk down the path, there are chairs by the river!! So peaceful to sit and eat. The server taking our order could have been friendlier, especially when not understanding something, but would definitely go back!!

    What a great place to stop for cold treats and hot foods too!…read more Balthazar's Ice Shack is a small food shack located in the woods near the banks of the Sugar River (South Branch) along NH 31. It sort of feels like a cozy campsite in the woods. They offer 24 flavors of Blake's Ice Cream (cones, sundaes, frappes, floats), shaved ice, protein drinks, soft drinks, water. For hot foods, they offer sliders, hot dogs, quesadillas, chicken strips, chicken drums, fries, chili cheese fries, nachos, clam cakes, banana fritters, poutine, and a daily special item. The prices here seem pretty reasonable. There is ample seating and places to enjoy your cold treat and hot foods here including umbrella round table seating (near the shack) and wood chair seating down the small hill along the river bank and also chair seating in the river (river seats), great place to cool off! I stopped here recently while driving through Goshen. I ordered a Pina Colada Shaved Ice ($3), which was a very nice cold treat with a good amount of pina colada juice and surprises at the bottom of the treat, plenty of chewy colorful gummy bears! After looking at the hot foods menu, I decided to order some food to go! I ordered the Saturday Special which was a Lasagna and a piece of soft Italian bread ($6) and an order of Clam Cakes (6 for $4.50). The piece homemade lasagna was very good, similar to what I make at my home, which had layers of noodles, cheeses, ground beef, and tomato sauce. The clam cake balls were deep fried golden, which had a soft chewy texture with minced pieces of clam in the dough with tartar sauce on the side. The last time I had enjoyed clam cakes was two years ago at a fair in CT. Overall, this place not only serves great cold treats and hot foods, but also offers a unique experience of enjoying your treats very close to or in the Sugar River.

This location was formerly the Fabulous 50s Car-Hop Drive-In. The place has outside takeout windows (covered area) and a covered picnic table seating in front and more seating out back with a wooden Noah's Ark replica ship play area. The menu offerings consist of typical drive-in fare and ice cream treats including burgers, hot dogs (Nathan's All Beef Hot Dogs), chicken nuggets, fries, and grilled cheese sandwiches. Gifford's Ice Cream (17 flavors of hard scoop), 34 flavors of soft serve, shakes, floats, sundaes, banana splits and Pepsi products. The prices are reasonable here. There is also free religious literature on the counter. I ordered a Chili Cheese Dog ($3.95 plus tax), which topped with plenty of thick dense meat & bean chili and shredded cheese. The hot dog had that snap biting in and the chili on topped was hearty and filling, with a slightly spicy flavor. The chili was warm and not too hot. The bun was soft and slightly chewy. Overall, the chili cheese dog was a good tasty snack before having dinner two hours later. CASH ONLY
