    Blue Hawaiian Italian ice cream
    Becca S.

    The custard was quality. So fluffy and creamy my son thought it was cold whipped cream. The girl that helped us was very good at recommending us on our decisions and patient with indecisive kids. They also have plenty of seating and a pleasant little spot for a fun filled dessert.

    Love the friendly service and multiple frozen choices. There's seating nearby if you don't want to eat in your vehicle. While you're there snap a fun picture with the cow out front.

    I use to come here all the time when I was younger so being back in town, I had to stop by. I always enjoy a simple vanilla ice cream and this is always such a great spot for it. Creamy and smooth, one of the best ice creams in the area!

    S'mores sundae

    NOTHING beats the cow. It's always amazing! I always opt for the s'mores sundae but really anything would be good. They always have "specials" too that include fun ingredients!

    We've come here tons over the past couple years. We have plenty of snowball places and creameries in the country but this is still our fave. I pretty much get the same thing every time although I do increase and decrease the amount of whipped cream and cherries based on how I feel. Sundae: - Vanilla base - Fudge - Rainbow Jimmie's - Cherries - Whipped cream We occasionally bring our dogs or take home some plain custard for them. They also love it. =) Definitely will miss this place when we move shortly but we grew up in the MD/PA areas so always lovely to visit. Plus I have one of their cow print hats so I can never truly forget it.

    Delicious. Got a concrete and it was amazing. The smaller size is totally filling. Amazing quality ingredients and fast! Parking in the back makes going here a breeze. Covered patio with chairs allows you to eat and people watch at the same time.

    Skylite/Vanilla Gelati; Brownie Sundae
    Xiomara E.

    I got a gelati which is a mix of the ice (flavor Skylite) and custard (flavor vanilla). This place has some of the best custard I've ever had! That gelati is all I was thinking about all weekend. I'm giving them four because my boyfriend got a brownie sundae, and I love brownie sundaes... I hated it. I liked how the brownie was chopping into chunks so that it gave the ice cream some texture, but... the taste of the brownie itself simply wasn't there. It's was an edible but very meh brownie sundae. Go for the gelati, so good. And the custard comes in different flavors!! I just tried the safe option - vanilla.

    I've passed by the cow multiple times and never thought to actually stop here to get something but i finally decided to try it and was not disappointed! I ordered the cake batter custard on a cone and dipped in hard shell chocolate. This decision was definitely a good one, the cake batter custard is delicious and the hard shell chocolate was a perfect topping. The cone was very basic, definitely not that great! But i really enjoyed my experience there, customer service was great! There is parking available! And for a regular sized milkshake and cone our total was about $6 which isn't bad at all compared to places like coldstone. Will definitely return!

    Great neighborhood gem. My family has frequented this business for years randomly throughout the week day, after school/ work, after Friday Night Festivals at Franklin Middle and double time on the weekends. I have family who travel from 20+ miles away for this dessert perfection and they're never disappointed!! The flavors are endless and the staff is youthful, pleasant and quick. There's always a line but that line moves quickly. I'm so happy to have this local gem so close to me and I look forward to many more visits there !!

    The service was slow, but the ice cream is good. Upon arrival the line was extremely long so we decided to kill time going somewhere else. We came back and there was still a healthy line, but decided to stand in it. There was continuous fluctuation between there being one line or two which came off unorganized. When we eventually got our ice-cream, it was smooth and delicious. There are a few spots to grab a seat and enjoy your order. The Cow looks to be enjoyed by all ages of ice cream lovers. Nice variety of flavors.

    A lunch reservation required on a weekday? Really. At Glyndon Grill, unless you are arriving by…read moresay 1:45am, the answer seems to be a resounding yes. By the time we left at 12:30pm, not a speare table was seen. And Glyndon Grill serves its popularity. What makes a lunch spot (they are open for dinner too) so very popular. Adjacency to the always-popular-and-stellar Santoni's Market cannot hurt, not can the upscale neighborhood, but come for the food and service. I was focused on health-conscious fare, the the menu offered a diversity of intriguing choices. My premixed (with dressings on the side) Cobb Salad was wonderful. I could choose just how much of the mouth-watering fried chicken morsels I did and did not ant to eat, calorically. My tablemate, also watching pounds and inches, got the grilled salmon with broccoli. Neither could have been better. Best of all was our waitress Anne. Ask for her by name. Supreme professionalism dripped from her every word and action. Attentiveness and pleasant without being obtrusive at all. Yes she probably wanted to turn the table (but you could not tell unless you intuited that fact), and we accommodated because her happiness made us happy too.

    This used to be one of my favorite lunchtime spots, but unfortunately my most recent experience…read morechanged my perspective. Our waitress, Sara initially seemed pleasant. However, I had to repeatedly flag her down to place our order and again later to request boxes after our food arrived. During this interaction, her tone also came across as somewhat dismissive and unprofessional when I explained that we were on a time constraint due to a meeting. After paying the bill, I was interrupted as I was leaving and asked whether I had accidentally given her the wrong receipt copy. Once it was confirmed that the receipt was correct, she directly questioned why she had not received a tip and whether she had done something wrong. While I understand that tipping is an important part of the restaurant industry, I personally base tips on the overall quality, attentiveness, and professionalism of the service experience. In this case, I did not feel the service went beyond basic expectations. What made the situation especially unacceptable was then being called "rude" as I was leaving the establishment. Regardless of differing opinions on tipping, I believe those conversations should be handled professionally and privately. The interaction left me disappointed and will make me reconsider returning in the future.

Though my grandmother used to love and shop at the long closed dundalk location, so I grew up with Santoni's. Oddly enough, if I look out my apartment window, I can see the building where the dundalk store once resided. We needed a pie, because it was pi day. In the past, Jeremy and I have visited much larger, chain grocery stores on pi day, we've come up empty-handed. Santoni's did not disappoint. We got a gorgeous lemon meringue pie, and it was discounted several dollars, which made it all the sweeter.

If you are waiting, browse the aisles for excellent made-on-premises baked goods and a variety of pantry staples different and more upscale than found in conventional grocery stores.

Yes, Santoni's will separate you from your money (an Oatmeal canister is double the cost found in a full-sized grocery), but you will be happy with anything they make here from scratch, and your stomach will be too. In the past they also have done a top-notch job with catering orders. If you are ordering an office lunch, look no further!
