    Lot of heart and history in this tiny joint!! The service is great, and the ice cream even better…read more I need to sit down for a burger of BLT soon. I had a sundae, it was delicious. I love the ice cream here. Classic spot with a booth dedicated to the iconic Sopranos. A staple for any tourist who has seen the show, come get some ice cream here and you won't be disappointed!! I loved my ice cream from here. Always have since my sister first took me here! Ice cream is delicious, rich creamy and flavorful. Special flavors rotate. Always a classic nostalgic feel. The whipped cream comes from what looks like a soda gun!! Get the whipped cream!!

    We traveled home to New Jersey to visit my elderly parents and I decided to surprise my coworkers…read morein South Carolina with Holsten's Ice Cream float mugs and coffee mugs. If you're a fan of The Sopranos, visiting Holsten's Ice Cream, Chocolate & Restaurant is a must! This iconic New Jersey landmark is where HBO filmed the unforgettable final scene of The Sopranos, making it a bucket-list destination for fans of the series. The famous booth and nostalgic atmosphere instantly transport you back to that legendary ending that still has people debating what happened to Tony Soprano. While we think we know he was whacked was Meadow the only survivor? Beyond the television history, Holsten's is a wonderful no frills old-fashioned diner with delicious food, homemade ice cream, homemade chocolate and friendly service. I ordered the cheeseburger with the onion rings. My Cheeseburger was juicy, flavorful, well seasoned and perfectly cooked medium well. The onion rings were made of thick cut sweet onions also perfectly cooked in a well seasoned light batter. A must try! The restaurant is clean, welcoming, and full of charm. Whether you're stopping by for a meal, dessert, or simply to experience a piece of television history, it's well worth the visit. Don't forget to order the onion rings and the Orange Fizz they're famous for a reason! A perfect stop for both food lovers and The Sopranos fans alike. 5/5 Location 5/5 customer service 5/5 Prices 5/5 Food Taste and Quality 5/5 Bucket list item ( actually I grew up in the area and I ate there often) .

    I've never written a negative review before, but this experience was beyond unacceptable…read more I placed a custom cake order that we discussed, confirmed, and had in writing. I started calling at 9am to finalize the invoice and never heard back until 2pm. When I finally reached someone, I was spoken to with open hostility and told, "What was I supposed to do, make the cake in an hour?"--despite the fact that everything had been confirmed days prior. The owners mother and counter girl spoke to me in a way I've never experienced from any business or anyone for that matter . Shockingly rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. I have written proof and photos showing they do take custom cake orders, despite later claiming they don't. There was no misunderstanding, no mix-up--just unacceptable behavior. I strongly recommend staying away from this establishment. No customer deserves to be treated this way.

    It's a nice throw-back to the "sweet shops" that were fairly common back when I was a kid,…read moreand...for all intents and purposes...don't really exist anymore. Every few weeks, I bring my birth mother to the laundromat a few doors down to do her laundry (which is considered an "essential service" in this age of Covid-19), and I usually stop here to pick up a few items (I guess the sweet shop is considered an "essential service" too). It's old-- you can see that walking in. In fact, my birth mother grew up in the area, and her late father...my grandfather...bought tobacco here. And her brother...my uncle...got one of his first jobs here. He was in his early teens, and he's in his early 70s now, so...that gives some indication of just how long this place has been in business (I'm sure the ownership has changed hands since then, of course). Towards the back is a sit down area that...if I'm not mistaken...was once a soda fountain. I wish it still existed as a soda fountain. Would love to have an old fashioned "black and white" soda, or something comparable. Some of my early positive memories concern the Preakness Luncheonette, which was Wayne's version of the "sweet shop." I can remember my father bringing me there for a lemon coke, which seemed very exotic at the time. They sold magazines, newspapers, candy, ice cream, cigarettes, hamburgers, etc. (On a side note, while I'm wandering down Memory Lane...as an adolescent, I became friendly with 2 cousins from Yonkers...Tommy and Ricky...who had contests with each other to see who could shoplift the most items. The Preakness Luncheonette was one of their targets, and Tommy asked me one time, as I sat outside as a spectator, "Ed, can I get you anything?" "How about a Creepy magazine?" He came back with 5 issues of Creepy magazine, plus several other items, easily winning the contest with his cousin. That incident lit a light bulb in my head: "Wow, this looks almost too easy! Who needs money? I don't have to deliver any more newspapers!" I began my "criminal career" as a shoplifter at the Luncheonette, stealing horror comics and "girlie" magazines...the hormones were starting to kick in...and moving on to books, records, toys, items I didn't really need, even a wall poster that I concealed in my pants leg. My "career" as a budding Dillinger ended when a guy at another store stopped me, lifted up my shirt. Some 6th sense had made me toss back the magazine I had been ready to shoplift before he stopped me. Not finding any contraband, he growled, "Get the f*ck out of my store." The thought of my father...a nice guy but fearsome when he was pissed...finding out terrified me more than the thought of jail did, and "scared me straight." But I would like to take this opportunity to apologize these many decades later to the owners of the Preakness Luncheonette, who seemed like regular people trying to run a small business. Which has been "out of business" for decades. My sincere apologies for any part I might have played in that.) The Manor does have a magazine section, but I've outgrown "girlie" magazines (although I still have a weakness for horror comics), and have no temptation to resort back to my childhood thievery. At the front counter, I buy 2 coffees. One large black, with lots of sugar, for my birth mother. One small black, for me, no sugar. To make up for the no sugar in the coffee, I also buy Italian honey candy, coconut chocolate, and a "Chunky." (This is what I guess I consider "recompense" for my good deed of helping out with the laundry.) You can buy Lotto tickets here, soda or sports drinks, cigarettes, as well as some canned items. Surprisingly, I've been able to buy paper towels and tissue paper here when those items have been in short supply elsewhere. The proprietors seem to be going out of their way to help their neighbors and customers during this Covid-19 crisis that we all find ourselves in. The gentleman I talked to said they were trying to bring in ample supplies of toilet paper and liquid hand soap as well. So it's a nice, nostalgic vibe from the past, and they're doing their part to be helpful in these trying times. For all that, I have to give them kudos. Now if they'd only re-activate that soda fountain in the back...

    Cute lil' old-fashioned sweet shop. Has turned into more of a convienience store though. They now…read morehave many more lotto cards everywhere. But it's still worth a look if you're ever in Rutherford. I guess I like this shop because I live in pa and have seen nothing like it. Overall, it's not bad and worth a shot....
