Lots of hard and soft ice cream flavors, sundaes, frozen yogurt, Italian Ice, ice cream sandwiches, and frozen drinks. I went for a small Coffee Toffee cone and the ice cream was excellent. Great coffee flavor with a lot of crunchy toffee bits that reminded me of a ground up Heath Bar. My wife went for a vanilla "Turbulence" with Snickers Mix In -kind of like a DQ Flurry. She loved it. One cool thing I saw on the menu was a doggie treat with a dog biscuit in a cup of vanilla soft serve! There is a big grassy area behind the stand with picnic tables, Adirondack chairs, and a super cool kiddie attraction in the form of a small airplane -just perfect for climbing and photo opportunities.

Sometimes I act a little crazy and go for sprinkles, but today I behaved. The kid size is genius. Just enough for a taste so I can walk away happy without the guilt. Yes, I understand. I am not a child, but I do not need an adult by serving of ice cream for so many reasons! Soft serve isn't easy to get right. I've used the machine before and know there's a real science to it. Smyth's has it down to an art. The staff is always sweet. It's a quick transaction with a smile every single time, which just adds to the experience. No line today, which felt like winning the lottery. Summer nights here can get packed, but it's worth every minute. Benches outside, sugar cones in the air, that true hometown spot feeling.

There are a few benches in the front of the building to eat your ice creme and watch traffic flow by.

There were fifteen flavors available today, and we both ordered the same thing - a $6 single scoop of Bolton Banana Chip on a sugar cone. The ice cream was very good, a deep banana flavor, bits of pureed banana, and plenty of outstanding dark chocolate chips.

Server was very friendly, we ordered tacos, enchiladas, and grilled shrimp. While waiting, a roving mariachi band serenaded each table. The rendition of baby shark was a highlight of their particular set. The food was well cooked, tasty, and plentiful in portion. None of the bites in question felt underseasoned, rice and beans were not bland , and the birra tacos were great with jus. The issue is pricing. It's pricy for what you get. Very little is under 20 dollars with many plates going 25 or more. It's good food, but that quality doesn't match up to the price you pay. Given that it's close to the airport, airport pricing is to be expected. That's just my biggest gripe. Besides the price, it's very acceptable Mexican fare and you'll be heavy in stomach but light in wallet. A good option for famished travelers who want to splurge

The decor is all 50's from the chairs, walls, food, etc. Here's their story: "September 11th 2001 changed my life forever. After 19 years as a flight attendant, I decided it was time for a change. Thanks to my dearest mentor and friend, my dreams have come true. Actually, this all dates back to the year of 1952. My friend had a wish, too! Naif Makol, Jr. loved to eat his burgers when he was only knee high to a grasshopper, at which time, he asked his daddy if he would buy him a hamburger store. "Bah" astonishingly honored his son's request, and the family was in Burger Business. We dedicate the vision behind our concept to an exceptional man, Naif George Makol, Sr., without whose foresight and extraordinary business sense this could have not been possible. Our country was a great place to live in back in the 1950's American families enjoyed simple pleasures like drive-in movies, cruise nights, and car hops. Much has changed today except the memories of a time gone by. Naif Jr. has never let those joyous memories fade so in saying that here we are today. Naif and I wanted to create a place representative of a time when families gathered together listening to Dion or little Richard on the radio or cruising into their favorite soda shop for burgers or dogs. Skooter's took on a life of its own once we collaborated about the open kitchen concept and sit-down counter service. We've created a warm, family atmosphere which we hope you will enjoy. Our goal as proprietors is to provide you quick in-and-out service in an upbeat, happy environment at an affordable price. We want to be your home away from home. With Jonathan Karas as a key part of our family and the central force of our operations, I'm sure you will enjoy what he has to bring to the table (pun intended). We hope you delight in the simplicity and of course the great tasting yummy food." For my drink, I'm having a black coffee. It's my first caffeinated drink in a long time (no decaf available). I'd have a milkshake, but they're extremely heavy. Ah! REAL coffee! For my soup, it's Sausage, Pepper and Onion. Rice too I see. It's very good! An unusual soup, I'm also trying the chili. This is good! I got the last of it! Peppers is an odd ingredient. I can't leave here without trying a hot dog (Frankfurter) with sauerkraut. This is good! I liked the buttered bun. No shortage of sauerkraut. For my entree, I'm having a Grilled Lemon Chicken sandwich. This is really good! Notice the square lettuce leaves. For dessert, I'm having a slice of blueberry pie. This is a HUGE piece of pie! It's nice and chilled. I haven't had this in decades! It's delicious! What a great meal here! Those onion rings are freshly battered and are huge! One of them was 4 inches across! Oh yeah! This is great!

The hustle and bustle of serving the food quickly and hot is fun. Not to mention watching everything being put together. I had not eaten here in over 20 years, and tonight it most like gets put back on my rotation. The hamburger was the hand packed one (the only way to go) with bacon, and it was cooked perfectly. The fries too were excellent- I assume all fried food here will be good. The hot dog (Blue Seal brand) was good. I got it with chili and cheese. What threw me off was it was actually chili with beans, normally CT dogs are more a meat sauce. Anyway, it was enjoyable. The New England style hot dog roll was the disappointment, it didn't add to the flavor. (If there was a Dave Portnoy of hot dogs, the better rolls would be 'Texas toast-like'). We sat at the stools at the counter which was fun. This place isn't trying to be a '50s diner, it is one!
