No scoops and cones for this ice cream. Dip into them with a plastic spoon for a wildly odd tongue sensation on a hot day. Traditionalists will prefer the Golden Nugget Dip-Cone, a wedge of ice cream packed onto a double wafer cone, then dunked into warm, gooey chocolate and rolled in jimmies. A speared maraschino cherry tops off this summer masterpiece. Every Kennywood food presentation is over the top.
Portions are humongous.
To say the food is overstated is an understatement. This is not junk food. The stuff is fresh, and much of it is absolutely delicious. Most of the food is cooked before your very eyes, and none is made ahead and held longer than the short time it takes to get it scooped, wrapped or off the griddle and into a container. Doughnuts are made from scratch.
