    Toll house pie with ice cream.
    Eli C.

    Always delicious ice cream, friendly staff, and good prices. They have Kathy's pie! Can't go wrong with that. Their ice cream is far better than most local places and you are in and out quickly.

    We're regulars at this place! The best ice cream in town. They don't have indoor seating, but they've got a walk up window and patio tables with umbrellas. Great prices.

    This is the perfect old school, soft serve, ice cream place. The prices are low and serving sizes large. The staff was friendly too!

    This review is only based on getting hamburgers. My daughter and I enjoyed a hamburger from this…read morerestaurant. The patty was done fine and seasoned well. The toppings were satisfactory. Overall a good experience. Nice for a quick bite to eat. Kid friendly. It was nice to get a hamburger not from a big chain restaurant or a lengthy sit down establishment.

    I really didn't expect much from Earl's Chill & Grill, but I was pleasantly surprised. Typically,…read morewhen a place primarily does ice cream, I don't have high expectations for their other food. I also wasn't a huge fan of the non-dessert food at the place that previously occupied this location. Earl's surprised me, though. I got the regular cheeseburger. The patty was cooked exactly the way I like it, and the meat blend had a surprisingly good flavor, since I would assume that a quick service place like this would probably be using frozen, pre-formed patties. If Earl's is using pre-made patties, they seem to have found some really good ones. My only minor criticism of the burger is the onions. I took them off without eating them, but they looked to be raw onion, and they were cut pretty thick. Some people might enjoy that. For me, I would prefer that they either sweat the onions, or dice them up very small. Either way though, it was a pretty good burger, considering it came from a drivethrough ice cream place. The fries were really good, too. I would say they were similar to the style of fries you get at Wendy's and Five Guys. So, they're about a quarter inch thick, lightly salted, with a little bit of skin on the ends. Obviously, there's a pretty big difference in quality between the fries at Wendy's and the fries at Five Guys. I would say Earl's fries were better than Wendy's by a good amount, and probably close to as good as Five Guys, but not quite. I don't eat fried cheese, because that's a young man's game. My wife does, though. She says there are two kinds of breading / batter that places use. Earl's apparently does not use the same type that Parlor City used. According to my wife, the Parlor City kind of breading / batter is the better kind. She liked the burger, and absolutely loved the fries, though. So, we both left happy. Overall, Earl's was really enjoyable. It was also fast, and reasonably priced. It's not exactly Michelin type food, but I'll definitely be back.
