I've driven by this restaurant many times but have never stopped but at the recommendation of a friend my sister and I tried it. It was Friday at lunch time and a few people were there but not overcrowded. The waitress was very prompt and friendly. I saw a sign on the table the last Friday of the month they had sauerbraten. I asked the waitress about it and she said it was a family recipe and very good. She was right!! The noodles were homemade, the beef was tender and the sauce didn't have too much ginger. The portion was huge so I took 2/3 of it home. I saved room for homemade pie which was fantastic! I have to say it was the best pie I've had at a restaurant in a long time. Don't pass this place up!!! Stop in the last Friday of the month if you like sauerbraten.

I have been coming to this local legend since I was a kid and for 24 years it has not disappointed me! If you go for breakfast, you'll enjoy a nice meal for a decent price. If you go for ICE CREAM...now we're talking!! Thee Diner serves the largest "small ice cream" in upstate New York, no doubt in my mind. You definitely are getting MORE than what you pay for. And the ice cream selection is incredible, they have anything for anybody in your group. Good service, good location, and so many smiles. Enjoy your trip here!!

Standard diner with standard diner food and white board with specials on them. Friendly waitress and regular looking locals all around, but not too busy on a Thursday at lunch time. You get what ordered and I'm happy with that. I will keep on coming back.

My husband & I were in Bouckville and passed by this creamery and decided to stop in. It was busy…read moreon a Saturday evening. I love homemade hard ice cream and this was from Gillian's in Oneida. I've had their ice cream before and know it's top notch. I chose a maple walnut on a waffle cone and my husband 1 scoop of strawberry and a scoop of coconut almond. Mine was delicious and the cone was crispy and fresh and actually one of the best I've ever had. My only minor complaint is that I had zero walnuts in my ice cream! That could have just been because it was the bottom of the tub??? The flavor of the maple was excellent. My husband loved his flavors but said he liked the strawberry best. They had seating outside.

This is the best ice cream spot in CNY in my opinion. Situated just outside of Cazenovia on Route…read more20, the Nelson Creamery is an unassuming ice cream spot that opened a few years ago and has quickly become a go-to when I'm in the area. Their prices are reasonable and the serving sizes generous. The "Creamery" part of their name is exemplified in their soft serve. It is creamy, thick, and doesn't melt right away like other ice creams might. I've tried the soft serve, hard flavors, and their version of a flurry/blizzard/etc. and can recommend all. A cool fact about the Creamery: it was opened by the local Masonic Lodge and their goal is to use profits to give back to the community. Very cool. Not much else to say here. Head to Cazenovia to check out the lake, have dinner at one of the great local restaurants, and finish up with dessert at the Nelson Creamery.

I've never had bad service there, they are friendly, professional, and efficient. I highly recommend.

I've visited this place quite a few times over the past several years and have genuinely loved it…read more Unfortunately, after tonight's experience, I don't see myself returning. The picnic tables, outdoor games, board games, and variety of seating create such a fun, relaxing atmosphere. We especially love their "No Karens" sign, which made our experience tonight all the more ironic, considering the attitude we encountered from one of the staff members. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVED their Play Dough ice cream, so I was really disappointed to see it missing from the menu. Just to make sure I wasn't overlooking it, I asked a staff member if they still carried it. She stared at me blankly before responding as though I'd asked the most ridiculous question imaginable, saying, "No, we've never had that," and insisting I must have gotten it somewhere else. I was taken aback by her tone and dismissive attitude, especially as someone who has visited multiple times over the years. I decided to get a chocolate peanut butter shake instead, which tasted great once I could finally drink it. Unfortunately, it was so thick that it took forever to thin out enough to go through the straw. It honestly felt like it had barely been blended. My brother ordered a chocolate shake, which the same staff member forgot to make altogether. When we asked about it and she finally made it, somehow it ended up with mint flavoring. He hates mint, so he couldn't drink it. By that point, we'd already been home as he also had to let his shake sit forever before it was drinkable. My stepdad ordered the Let's Dough Buffalo, which was freezer-burnt, negatively impacting the taste. When we tried to get it replaced with a different flavor, my mom waited several minutes before resulting to knocking on the window. The staff member was on the phone with her back turned to us, so she had to get her attention somehow. Thankfully, my stepdad was able to switch to Rocky Mountain Raspberry, which he enjoyed. My mom ordered a soft-serve twist and was happy with it, so at least one order went smoothly! It's especially disappointing because this isn't the first time we've had an unpleasant interaction with this particular staff member. Between the poor customer service, multiple issues with our orders, and the loss of my favorite flavor, tonight's visit was a major letdown. The atmosphere and memories of previous visits are what kept bringing me back, but good ice cream and a fun setting can only go so far when the customer service is this disappointing. With so many other ice cream shops around, I unfortunately don't see a reason to return. It's a shame to see a place I used to love leave me feeling this way.
