We ended up getting a gluten and dairy free ice cream sandwich, some chocolates, and a small peanut butter pie. The ice cream sandwich was AMAZING. 10/10. I liked some of the chocolates better than others- definitely the fluffernutter one was delicious. We haven't tried the pie yet, but I'm definitely excited. This is definitely a great place for gluten and dairy free sweet treats!

Going to Shady Glen is a bit like stepping back in time. It's that 'old timey' ice cream parlor,…read morefrom the decor to the servers (outfits), to the food. Nostalgia. Memories. A stop on the way back to UCONN when I was a student there. The "go to" place after our kids' school events. Shortly after we moved to Manchester, over 38 years ago, the restaurant was closed for renovations. We were looking forward to seeing the revamped restaurant. Well, we were even more surprised when we stepped in the door - nothing had changed! Cleaner, perhaps new Naugahyde on the seats, but that mural on the wall was the same - those elves were timeless. When you sit down, you get a small paper cup of water. The menus are on the the wall - soups, sandwiches & ice cream. I'd always heard they had a patent on the way their cheeseburgers were made - a burger topped with crispy cheese. A must have. Prior to Covid, the condiments tray had ketchup, mustard & chopped onions. Now, there are packets of the condiments. No onions though. We shared an order of fries - crispy & good. I was too full to have ice cream after our meal, so we brought a half gallon (yes - a real half gallon) of our favorite flavor home - chocolate almond joy. Yum! Note - you need cash. No cards. There is an ATM in the restaurant.

The interior looked different from how I remember it, but somehow our…read moregroup of 3 adults and 2 kids fit comfortably in an otherwise-seemingly narrow booth with one chair added on the end. Since it's a popular choice, expect crowds til late afternoon for lunch. I didn't notice their breakfast menu among those posted on the walls, but apparently it is served til 11am. As for lunch, the cole slaw is surprisingly superior to most if not all other diners/cafes. Though prices have increased with inflation, still a great value and more competitive than many other comparable places in the state. Furthermore, the consistent taste and nostalgic ambiance are all still intact. Main offerings are between-bread - i.e., sandwiches, so limited options if you have dietary restrictions like having to eat gluten-free (soups contain gluten; I didn't ask if any of the platters could be made GF though), but their iconic fried cheese is still available as an a la carte side. Ice cream flavors include seasonal highlights like pumpkin chocolate chip, and their shakes are generous and delicious. I recommend asking what additional flavors they have available that are not listed on the wall menu. If there are kids in your party, be sure to look out for the table placard with the Children's Menu; the kids in our group enjoyed the chicken platter which included fries, a drink, and 2 substantial breaded chicken fillets.

They were still nice, offered other toppings in the end like whipped cream or syrups. They had lots of flavors of frozen yogurt to choose from (and apparently some more coming soon), a lot of toppings too! From cheese cake cubes to brownies & sour candy they pretty much had a lot of options. I'm simple so I just wanted vanilla with cookie crumbs, cheesecake cubes cause it seemed interesting, brownies, & cookie dough bites. My kids of course wanted more colorful choices and flavors. There's a lot of spots to sit in, lounging around or just sitting on a table & chairs, there's some outdoor seating as well. Place was very very clean which is a plus! I enjoyed it all and the price wasn't bad at all! Will love coming here often with my family.

Good but basic soft serve…read more Quick review for a quick service. Place is a little out of the way, served from the back of a gas station off the main road. The menu is very simple, and the price is okay. Quality of the soft serve is actually pretty good. The trouble is location. Its identity will always be tied to the gas station and the maintenance of the grounds is good for the lawn but not the building it occupies. So the lawn looks good and the quality of the ice cream was good but the building does give off a vibe. It's good and functional soft serve, but that's all.

This is their version of Dulce De Leche. It's filled with caramel, toffee, and some crunchy pecans. This one was very caramel, but a bit too sweet for me. We enjoyed sitting outside at the start of summer with a tasty ice cream in hand.

This class that Linda the Manager instructed was so much fun creating your own ice cream creation. If you haven't ever decorated a cake this is the perfect class.

There are a few steps that you complete to have your master piece to have and take home. The items you decorate w are supplied. It's a lot of fun and they are having another class is on Saturday, February 8th for Valentines. The other locations are also having classes. You can go on Eventbrite. The price is $25 pp. thanks to Ben & Jerry's for having such a cool event to do. You won't be disappointed.

Cold stone is one of the pioneers of this method and their ice cream is serviceable.
