"What a fun stop! I don't often see Italian ice plates, so I was excited to try one at this Dairy Queen today. The young ladies working were friendly and patient as I made my selection. I was happy that there was no line behind me. There is an arrow on the door pointing to the server window, so I'm not sure if the dining area is open or not. I chose a twist with ice cream on top in a larger cup, allowing for 2 or 3 flavors of ice cream - with countless flavors to choose from. I opted for two water-based flavors (though there are also creamy options) and found both the taste and texture to be excellent. The ice cream was soft serve with a creamy, custard-like texture and a delightful vanilla flavor. The menu is so extensive that I plan on returning to try more items. I'm looking forward to trying a sundae with some of their fresh toppings next time."

"I do not support this Carvel because the employees are mistreated. I have multiple friends who have worked here and have told me the same thing. The employees bend over backwards to help the customers, but the owners, Ming and Quina, are horrible to their employees and overwork them, giving them barely any training and punishing them, shaming them in front of customers. I will never support these two people again because the abuse their help, and they get them to train for"

"Best diner my family has been going to for years. They always serve complementary warm bread, crackers, breadsticks and macaroni salad. Even during the Pandemic. The portions are very generous and satisfying. Food is delicious and fresh. Staff is alwayswelcoming and very pleasant. We have gotten to know, Bill, Junior, Elder and Mike over the years and they make you feel likefamily. Truly an asset to this establishment! Highly recommended!"

"Best Chinese food I've had in a long time. The general tso chicken combo plate was perfect love that the fried rice had eggs and lots of flavor. The lemon chicken was crispy and juicy, they give you very generous portions. Each meal was full of flavor and well cooked."

"The restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere with subtle Christmas decorations. Our server was quick, but difficult to understand due to speaking quickly. However, he was polite and helpful with menu questions. The restaurant was unexpectedly busy on a Thursday night, but we were seated promptly. Unfortunately, the food I ordered, The Greek Chicken Wrap, was not appetizing and the potato salad tasted stale. After eating, I became sick within 20 minutes. The meal was not worth the $17 price. The menu did not mention tomatoes in the wrap, and they were unappealing. My father's chocolate cake was stale and dry. Overall, the food lacked quality and care. I suggest trying The Irish Times Pub across the street for a better dining option in the area."
