Small country diner and ice cream spot outside of Selinsgrove. Daily home cooked specials; Plenty of food and great service. My only negative is their AC isn't the greatest. If you want ice cream, sundaes, splits, flurries, hard and soft ice cream. You can't go wrong. Cones are large.

While driving home from an epic early-June Friday adventure, I found myself battling a serious…read moresweet tooth craving. What I needed was a grab-and-go dessert to cap off the day. Enter Ranch House Restaurant. I've been driving past the Ranch House for the majority of my life and somehow had never stopped. This particular Friday, that was finally going to change. Located right along Route 15, The Ranch House earns immediate points for convenience. It's incredibly easy to get in and out of, and there is a TON of parking available right outside the restaurant. From an accessibility standpoint, this place is about as easy as it gets. I pulled in around 4pm on a Friday afternoon and had no trouble finding a parking spot. Inside, the restaurant was buzzing with diners. Busy for 4pm? Absolutely. Overwhelming? Not at all. There were plenty of staff members available, and someone greeted me almost immediately. I explained that I wasn't staying for a meal and was only there to check out the dessert case for something to take with me. The waitress couldn't have been nicer and encouraged me to take my time. And thank goodness she did. I spent several minutes standing in front of the dessert case having a very serious internal debate between two worthy contenders: a towering slice of peanut butter pie and a gigantic piece of chocolate cake slathered with peanut butter frosting. In the end, the chocolate cake won. For $6.77, I was happily carrying an enormous slice of cake back to my car and already looking forward to dessert later that evening. This particular piece of cake had been officially designated as Friday Night Date Night dessert and was destined to be enjoyed a few hours later in a beautiful location. I remained committed to the plan and patiently waited until the proper time to dig in. The cake itself was very good. Moist, nicely textured, and pleasantly chocolatey without crossing into ultra-rich fudge territory. As someone who generally prefers vanilla over chocolate, I appreciated that the chocolate flavor was present without completely taking over the experience. The frosting, however, was where things got interesting. As a self-appointed peanut butter dessert connoisseur, I have consumed a truly alarming amount of peanut butter pie, peanut butter cake, peanut butter cookies, peanut butter cheesecake, peanut butter brownies, and pretty much anything else containing peanut butter. This frosting was unlike anything I've ever tasted. Most peanut butter frostings fall into one of two categories: rich and dense or fluffy and sweet. This one was neither. It was salty. Not slightly salty. Very salty. There was a bit of peanut butter flavor. There was a bit of sweetness. But the dominant note for me was salt. I'm honestly still not sure if it was the peanuts themselves, the butter, or some secret ingredient in the Ranch House's recipe, but it was one of the most unusual peanut butter frostings I've ever encountered. Several days later, I'm still trying to decide whether I actually liked it. To be clear, I finished every last bite. Cake doesn't go to waste around here regardless of how confusing my feelings may be. But the frosting left me scratching my head the entire time. Would I stop again? Probably. Would I order the peanut butter dessert again? Probably not. For me, this visit landed firmly in the "meh" category. The staff were friendly, the location was convenient, and the dessert case offered plenty of tempting options. Unfortunately, the peanut butter frosting just didn't quite hit the mark for my taste buds. And that makes me a bit nervous about trying anything else.

Fire & Ice Smokehouse & Creamery is the Real Deal !…read more We spent the afternoon at Lake Tobias and wanted to stop and have dinner somewhere on the way home and based upon Yelp Reviews, this was our place to stop at, and it did not disappoint ! What a charming and amazing local restaurant owned by a husband and wife and I had the opportunity to meet the wife who is just a very nice individual and took the time to explain a few things that we had questions on and we really appreciated that. They have plenty of seating for large groups and small groups and we were lucky enough to get a table that held our nine people. Plenty of parking outside and in the back for overflow parking and they do have a little area out front where if you wanted to sit at a picnic table under an umbrella, you can it's a very nice little area. The inside is extremely clean and very neatly decorated, and the smell of the barbecue is incredible. We ordered a full rack of ribs, and they are definitely fall off the bone full of flavor with an array of various sauces for every taste and naturally had to try each one of them and they are all very good and they make it in-house, which is a bonus ! The mac & cheese is completely off the chain very very flavorful and we tried the regular and not to smoke which I'm sure is just incredibly tasty. The tater tots are done perfectly the other folks that we were dining with, got an assorted meat platter, which was bountiful of various meats and just looked incredibly delicious and they loved it. Almost forgot with a rack of ribs. You get a square of their homemade cornbread, which was delicious. The service is impeccable and as soon as we are done eating, they make their own ice cream and you need to go over and take a look at all the different selections of ice cream they have and we opted for the s'mores and one other one and it was really really good ice cream. We do highly recommend stopping here, all of the food looks good and is done with love you can tell that.

One Star: Mother's Day Mistake…read more We should've taken the hint when every other sit-down restaurant had a waitlist on Mother's Day -- and McAlister's Deli looked like a ghost town. Turns out, we didn't stumble on a hidden gem; we wandered into the culinary equivalent of a trap. The "loaded nachos" were only loaded in the sense that someone accidentally dropped a can of dog food on some stale chips and called it a day. The chili-flavored meat product (and I use that term generously) was clearly reheated -- probably several times -- and tasted like regret. The sandwiches? Let's just say they looked nothing like the pictures, unless the pictures were taken in a parallel universe where ingredients are fresh and sandwiches have dignity. Ours were flat, sad, and suspiciously cold -- kind of like the service. For the price, I expected at least one item to resemble real food. Instead, we paid sit-down prices for drive-thru disappointment. First time here... and definitely the last.
