text: Growing up in Long Island NY and making frequent trips to Brooklyn Manhattan I have to honestly say that as far as Old Time Ice Cream Parlors go this leaves a lot to be desired However that is not to say that this is not a gem to be enjoyednnOld Town Scottsdale on a Sunday afternoon as I experienced it on vacation last week is quiet and hot There was not too much to do and the kids were getting restless That being said it was only pm and it was lunch time The bright pink building can be seen from quite the distance and certainly stands out on the main road Scottsdale Rd in Old Town Scottsdale Besides any place that is been around for years has merit with me nnOne piece of advice I would offer is keep it simple A burger is an ok order but stay away from the Reuben Should be simple but somehowoutside of NY I rarely get one that is worthy of the name And this was no exception nnBIG GRIPE No Fries They serve potato chips with all their sandwiches no fries Do not get me wrong I like their Kettle Chips which are not made there but instead probably poured from oversized bags in the back But a true old time parlor should have french fries Ok end of gripennNow to the ice cream I will not comment on how they make it or give a review of all their flavors because frankly I did not have much I had a coffee shake which was quite good actually My motherinlaw got the Skiddoo that I was eyeing and she was quite happy with it It was dutch chocolate ice cream turkish coffee ice cream with coffee syrup sliced almonds whipped cream a cherry It looked great and got a thumbs up from mom My wife ordered a mint chocolate chip sundae her favorite flavor and enjoyed it The kids well the kids are easy to please Just stick any ice cream in front of them with some cherries on top and they are happynnOverall it was a good stop and had fantastic friendly service nnThe attached arcade left alot to be desired but it seamed to me to be a cheap add on to a well established parlor
