We were recommended this ice cream spot by our dinner waitress. The place is very busy and rightfully so, the ice cream was great and we wound up finishing our generous portions even though we were full from dinner. The price was fair and reasonable for the generous portions you receive. The property has a large outdoor seating area and a neat playground area for kids to play while we wait to order our ice cream. Very smart. We will be returning during our next trip to PA. read more

This is such a cute place that my friend recommended. Apparently it has been around forever. Wide range of ice cream, milkshakes and hot dogs / tenders on the menu. All at decent prices too. I got very excited and ordered a bunch but the maple walnut milkshake was the delicious thing ever! Wish we had this in NYC!! read more

A staple in the community and one that we should try to keep this time. Many good times, and always good food and great ice cream! read more

Worst chili dogs! Hormel with beans & added spices to make it a little hot! Cheapest hotdog you can buy at the $1.00 store! Super gross plus reheated since they didn't sell any from the night before, dried out & wrinkled up! Ice cream is good! I could not put a negative star to post so I had to give one not by choice! read more

Classic looking roadside shack with delicious and freshly made fast food (we had a cheesesteak with fries and it very much hit the spot!) and excellent soft serve. Very generous portions / servings, friendly staff and ample (outdoor) seating. Prices are fair and everything looks very clean too. What's no to like? read more

Burgers and ice cream at a roadside stand? If you follow my reviews you know my family and I seek out these places! And this one did not disappoint. 50+ years old and still a great burger. My husband was thrilled with the cheesesteak. The nachos were just ok but - only a 9yr old goes to a place like this and orders nachos . Chicken tenders were good - we got a kids order and they were two huge tenders and a full tray of fries. Ok now on to the ice cream. Huge servings to say the least. The whip cream is fake but the ice cream is not and it's pretty good. I got birthday cake and Bailey's and both were on the sweet side. The hot fudge was real thick and perfect (NOT chocolate syrup - a big check mark in this house!!) the cotton candy flavor was a surprise winner. The Cookie Monster was also surprisingly good - more cookie than ice cream :) All in all - happy to support a local business and was definitely better than the DQ down the street. read more

First time visiting. It was a Sunday 4 pm hot and humid afternoon. They have a lot of selection for hard ice cream. Soft serve had only a few like vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, coffee and I think one more. No sugar free option. No line at the moment. Customer service is fair. Not rude but didn't feel particularly welcomed either. Outdoor seating only with partial shades. The shaded area was hot also since it's next to the exhaust of an air conditioner unit which was blowing out tons of hot air. Free play area but kids didn't want to play since it was muggy hot and no shade there. Soft serve ice cream ( vanilla) quality was solid. $3.75 for a small but really like a large size in an urban city. It was smooth and rich. $5.75 for a large vanilla milkshake. Again, can't complain about the quality. Price is reasonable. Why not five stars? No sugar free option. Seated /shaded area was hot due to exhaust. Fair customer service. Pro: solid quality ice cream. I like the retro feel of the building and style. Free play area. Reasonable price. Overall I will return if I'm at that area. Probably better around 7-8 pm before dusk. Btw, it's only 8 min drive from Crossing outlet mall. read more

Was in the mood for some ice cream while we visited the area for the weekend and was so glad i didn't need to go to a friendlys instead. Homemade ice cream with enough flavors to satisfy every craving, but not too many that you'll be overwhelmed trying to pick a flavor. The ice cream was so good we ended up coming back twice. They do have a small little play ground for kids which was perfect while we waited in line for ice cream. Delicious ice cream, great service (and quick). No complaints and bonus points for the park. Did I also mention my pups enjoyed their pup sundaes as well? read more

Really good ice cream and reasonably priced! Strawberry ice cream had strawberry bits in it and cotton candy actually tastes like cotton candy! read more

Everything I've ever gotten here was delicious. Always fresh and the people who work there were always so kind and helpful.

While visiting in the Poconos area with my girlfriend and a group of friends, we decided to stop at this ice cream spot after a long day hiking. We were in the mode for some ice cream and hot dogs; and this place looked like it offered both. While waiting on the line to order, we looked at all the ice cream flavors, and they offered so much. I went with a chocolate and peanut butter milkshake. My girlfriend got a cup of vanilla and pumpkin soft serve twist, with oreo topping and a side cone. I must say the ice cream here was really good. I enjoyed the milkshake alot; i even finished it super quick. As for the food (aka hotdogs) , we were disappointed. Usually spots like this have great burgers and dogs, but the hotdogs and toppings were nothing special. Ordered one chili cheese dog and one sauerkraut mustard dog. Was not impressed with the hotdog meat. But the toppings were good. The highlight of this place was definitely their ice cream. Overall, it was still a great spot. They had a nice outdoor seating area for you to eat your food after you ordered as well. A must stop for some delicious ice cream. read more

Always like stopping at the smaller shops, got the arctic swirl - which is like the DQ blizzard - good price and good ice cream, definitely would stop again. Good food options but didn't get anything unfortunately, next time through town. Fast and friendly service as well. read more

middle aged woman workin frogs year is never friendly. I have 3 young kids, her personality belongs in a dentist office, and even then, horrible. everyone knows who I'm talking about. besides her, no one else is really fantastic for an ice cream shop. employees should be lively, smiling and welcoming, NOT annoyed and short. I hate coming here but I do it for my kids cuz I'd never make a scene. but the staff is so poor. ugh. read more

Great ice cream and very friendly! We had a strawberry milkshake, mint chocolate chip ice cream, and death-by- chocolate milkshake. Everyone left much happier and fuller. read more

This food joint looks so cool. Their place looks so vintage & their food looks so good. Their ice cream is unbelievable. For $1.70 you get a "single" scoop which looks more like 2 to me :p The employees are all very quick and very sweet. They have outdoor seating only which is okay for the summer but not the winter, minus 1 star for that. They also have a play area for the kids to play while you take a nice break and enjoy some cheese fries or a cone. This place is faaar & I really hope I get to come back again and try their food as well as different flavors of ice cream they have. read more

Yummy homemade hard ice cream. Great flavor selection. More than just vanilla and chocolate in soft serve too. Great burgers!

This turned out to be worth the try. I have passed by always on s mission and never stopping. I finally stopped and ordered cheese steak requesting it on fries instead of the bread and they accommodated me. The kids got different ice cream flavors to try and the churros. We all were pleased and now have added this spot to our list of GO TO spots. Friendly and accommodating. read more

It's the 21st century. There is no excuse for cash only. Even food trucks have iPads or the square. Really get turned off by businesses that don't try to make buying their products convenient for their customers. Tried to stop Here for lunch while on vacation at Great Wolf down the road. No such luck, had no cash. So my local desire was squashed and we ended up with Friendlys down the road simply because they took cards. Sorry Gabels, you can maintain retro charm and still have a credit card machine. read more

Fiancee and I took a post-bar trip to Poconos. I thought I was going to get something akin to Bassets in Reading Terminal. Something homemade, and special. Not really. Gabel's Ice Cream serves Turkey Hill Ice Cream...something I can get at the local supermarket. The place look like the first and old McDonald's...a kickback to the 50s. There's a huge playground for kids, and very little parking space. Redeeming factor? Inexpensive and HUGE servings of ice cream. My fiancee and I shared a medium ice cream, and it was easily a large or more in New York City. This thing was HUGE! And, for $2.60? You can't beat the price. On another note, I wonder if people are predisposed to think I speak with a foreign accent. I asked for a "Dutch Chocolate", which was what it was called on the menu...but the girl had such a hard time understanding me. Oh well...oh, and she kind of wigged a little when I gave her a $20, she apologized though, and stated it was because she didn't have anything but singles and didn't want to give my change in only singles. No problem. Once here is enough. Unless, I really wanted a hotdog or milkshake. read more

I love this place! The food is awesome ... their burgers are delicious ... and curly fries with gravy and cheese are so awful for you but so delicious! If you have kids this is a great place to take them for some food or ice cream ... they have a play ground! Only con is they do not have a credit card machine and really need to get with the times... read more

This place is very close to the late Taste Bud. It is in fact NOT the Taste Bud, but it was next to it. I woke up three weeks after the Taste Bud closed and saw this place. I got excited because I thought it was the Taste Bud. I became suspicious when some high school teeny bopper took my order instead of Tommy. When they told me to stop mumbling numbers because I couldn't play the lotto there, I took a moment to examine my surroundings and came to the conclusion that this place had replaced the Taste Bud. After asking around, I found out that apparently this place was here all along, I just never noticed it (who would, with the Taste Bud next door?). After the initial shock and disappointment, I ordered a chili dog and a 'Moose Tracks' ice cream cone. The food was decent but misleading. Firstly there was only one hot dog in my chili dog, I've never had one with less than three. Secondly, Ive skinned and grilled many a moose durning my trips to Newfoundland so I know a few things about moose. I did not taste the slightest hint of moose in my first, second, or third cones of the flavor. Disappointing. I give it three stars because it reminds me of the Taste Bud. read more

Cute place, pretty decent food for a place that looks like a vintage Dairy Queen. Most food options are meat, as to be expected, but they also have veggie burgers and grilled cheese (and fries, of course!). I bet nothing is under 500 calories. Love the playground-- wish there were less kids around so I could play on it, haha. Service can get pretty backed up, but this place is really one of a kind and that makes it worth it. Also, where else are you going to eat in Tannersville? read more

I too have trekked long distances just to come here to eat. What a great stand. Yum!

Review for Ice Cream only. Was expecting something else, I was hoping for HomeMade Ice Cream. But the Ben and Jerry's Black Cherry was awesome. I just feel like it's no different than a supermarket, selling name brand ice cream. read more
