Long lines but they move fast. My entire family loves the ice cream here. An always rotating menu of flavors along with the classics means that there is something for everyone. Parking can be challenging on busy summer nights but we will usually find a spot. There are plenty of tables as customers rotate out quickly but never feel rushed. read more

Royalty to apparent royalty - LB came to pay his respects to the self proclaimed sir King of Kone. A Westchester staple for many a year, I found that I simply had to make the trip up to the boondocks of Westchester (all relative, zero disrespect.) The scenic route up adds to the mystique of what you hope to be a mystical ménage a trois of flavor, texture and relief from the great icy meal known as ice cream. It was a Sunday afternoon, in June... I lied, it was July. But it's July now? Keep up. Daunting day. The sky filled with thunder and water to wash away the spring of heat that leaped us into proper summer. Tan - looking like the man - I toss on my beater and jump in the whip with my foreman (forewoman.) We set off for our journey knowing we had a time limit - I needed to return to see the Norwegians Renaissance. The dismantling of the Joga-Bonitoless Brazilians. The beauty and cruelty of calcio. So I skip-to-the-Lou my darlings... we park in a strange parking lot and line dance our way to an ever growing crowd on a strange day and time and weather for people to be here. However, must I remind the folks... the line was full of Westchesterites crawling through a desert for a dessert. Yes you read that right. Westchester is a dessert desert. No truly top tier ice cream - all, in my experience, relatively good/great. And so, although the king karries the name... you could label me as suspicious. Exceedingly, not relatively, suspicious As the Inspector Clouseau I am, lovely weather we are having... I knew my suspicions were likely reality. It was likely that a starved civilization of Westchester, desperate for an amazing cold cream would overhype a nostalgically good option to stardom. So, my final thoughts. Is it fatal? If so... how fatal? Good question, and better answer coming... as always. Stay with me here I'm going to go rapid fire - In dire need to wrap this up. This is good ice cream. It's not great. It's not worth a 30 min drive. The price is simply outrageous. Up there with the greatest price gauges I've seen. If you want to argue there's no quality ice cream shortage in the county then tell me how in Katonah, King Kone is charging these prices? And finally, the staff here is INCREDIBLY RUDE. Read my reviews. I rarely even mention the service. But if you're the king, you better serve me like I'm a queen. This staff is disappointingly brutal. If I'm in a pinch I'll flinch before giving this place my Da Vinc. It's good. It's not a great. It's not King. It deserves its Kone but not it's Krown. I'm tickling to give this joint 3 stars for the full experience but I'll stay impartial. I'll stay real. I've give ya a good deal. A lucky 4. A clover... I'll maybe be back - but this review is over. read more

Thank goodness it's King Kone season. Long lines, full parking lot means they are doing everything right. We go for the soft serve ice cream but plenty of folks get one if the numerous hot food offerings on the menu. Plenty of tables and benches and large umbrellas. Have been three times since their 2026 opening and counting read more

Very good ice cream and dairy bar/snacks summer food as well. Service is fast and courteous. There is a lovely seating area with umbrellas. Pleasant in the dimmer and even more in the fall. Cash only but they have an ATM. Careful backing out and leaving; crowds and cars racing down make it challenging. Happy Westchester tradition and not too many of these places around. You have to go upstate for all of them. read more

Terrible customer service, incredibly nasty, uninviting and rude employees at register.

I love this place! It's one of the only places that has fried clams in our area. I stopped in for a fried clam platter and a clam roll. They were both amazing! Crispy delicious sweet clams. Perfectly done. It's always clean and nice and the people working there are beyond accommodating. read more

FIRST time rookie at King Kone. Picture shows all the flavors that they sell. There is another menu to the right containing a lot more items. One needs to step off the long line(a GOOD thing) to decide your choice! Unsure if the ice cream is homemade(or not) but it's good. We will return! Best to go at an "off" hour. There are picnic tables to the side to enjoy your read more

The food is delicious I've tried the lobster roll and French fries very tasty. I've tried the pistachio ice cream the butter or can ice cream the monkey business ice cream which oh so delightful. Depends on what you like. The service is always impeccable. Very kind young ladies at the window to serve you. Very peaceful sitting outside also. Very calming with the tasty flavors . You will definitely want to stop by. This ice cream is better than any supermarket ice cream. Please believe. Happy eating.... read more

A local classic that is loved by all! I personally love their soft serve in a cone, but anyone I've ever gone with has been happy with whatever they order. This place is always hopping in the simmer, but the line moves quickly and the kids that work here are always nice. There's plenty of outdoor seating so you can enjoy your ice cream at your leisure. read more

Coffee fudge toffee ice cream is my go to non-soft serve here Soft serve is good. We did attempt a king kone once You can order a scoop of just cookie dough Lobster roll is surprisingly good and has decent amount of meat. Heart Attack burger is where it's at - the crispy fried mac and cheese layer is surprisingly good. Fries are decent. Family friendly, outdoor seating, long lines, very little parking, great hangout spot. read more

Delicious ice cream, mediocre service. Cashier was actually super nasty and could not be bothered to answer questions about the flavors. Also, the hours on Google were wrong and we showed up when they were closed. Lame! read more

Busy roadside place. Parking can be tough as lot is small, a lot of people just park on the busy road or make shift spots We moved through the line super quickly, as most people were in the food line. Ice cream was delicious and sizes huge imo, truly couldn't finish the small. Cash only. I don't consider myself lactose intolerant whatsoever and crush hard scooped ice cream daily from the grocery store. but this soft serve lowkey destroyed my stomach. i'm wondering if it has some sort of additive or higher percent lactose? idk but fyi to anyone's who's a little more on the sensitive side, maybe try hard scoop. my partners sundae of banana and almond coconut was heavenly! it was a bit pricier than expected for the area read more

Stopped by there for the first time. We have driven by so many times and I always wondered how an ice cream can draw such a line all the time. I found out!! This ain't just ice cream and custard. They have EVERYTHING! I did enjoy a dessert, as we just ate next door, But it was delicious and I'm coming back soon for a Lobster Roll, Hot dog, fried clams, burgers...the list is endless. The kids who work here are Friendly and Polite..This place is not just a food shack..it's a local Landmark!! Definitely stop by and check it out. Enjoy!! read more

My son and his family just moved to Katonah and we found King Kone and love it!! Our family loves ice cream and they have the best flavors, cotton candy, banana, lemon meringue pie!

I went to King Kone to get a lobster roll, and what I got did not resemble any lobster roll I have ever seen. It also tasted like it was seasoned with dish soap. The owner informed me they are "langostinos," which, unfortunately, are more similar to hermit crabs than lobsters (see description from Wikipedia below). He was very rude on the phone, got exasperated and started yelling when I questioned the seafood. He then hung up. I do not recommend coming here. This was my second time at King Kone and the first time the milkshake made me sick. They also have a shady payment method that involves venmoing the owner directly. As a local, this is very disappointing. "In the United States, it is commonly used in the restaurant trade to refer to the meat of squat lobsters, which are not true lobsters but are more closely related to porcelain and hermit crabs. Also, langostinos are sometimes confused with Norway lobster, also called langoustines.[2] In the US, the Food and Drug Administration allows "langostino" to be used as a market name for three species of squat lobster in the family Galatheidae: Cervimunida johni, Munida gregaria, and Pleuroncodes monodon.[3]" read more

The young people that work there were condescending to me and my children. The simple orders got an "eye roll" and an "i know" and our order was shoved onto the counter not only without eye contact, but the person's head was completely turned the other way as if they were the subject of an exorcism. I looked up as I took my $25 order of 3 soft serve cups and saw the back of her head, Cousin It unkept hair staring back at me. One of our soft serve had a FLY in it. I should have lead with that but the whole King Kone experience was gross. read more

King Kone - Soft serve infused with FLY. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Katonah, New York

Been coming here for years, the ice cream is AMAZING! So many flavors and all are equally great. I hadn't tried any of the food until today and I was pleasantly surprised! I got the lobster roll platter, which comes with the lobster roll, fries, and coleslaw. The lobster roll was incredible, the lobster salad has a lemony kick which really complements the flavor, the fries are crispy and delicious. I personally didn't care for the coleslaw but it's a nice addition regardless. One last thing, they only take cash, Venmo, or Zelle however the cell service can be spotty at times so I would recommend brining cash! Overall an amazing place and a northern Westchester institution for sure! read more

King Kone - Lobster Roll Platter - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Katonah, New York

AMAZING!! Can't say enough good things about this staple, there's a plethora of positive adjectives! Even with a - large Sunday crowd, the ample ordering windows made the service speedy and efficient. Food was delicious! They even took a basic grilled cheese and knocked it out of the park. (I added old bay to my grilled cheese and it was key!) Classic hotdogs 10/10 and crispy delicious fries- my mouth is still watering. They offer a variety of condiments to take at your convenience which was a sweet little touch. And now the icecream. Oh goodness it was incredible. We stuck to the classic soft served vanilla with rainbow sprinkles, threw it on a waffle cone and were in heaven. (the offer 3 different cone styles In multiple sizes) The staff were great, the aesthetic is adorable- think classic vacation vibes. Just a few things to remember- they are a cash (or venmo/zelle) only establishment ! and parking can be a little tricky so prepare to park on the road :) read more

Love love love this place! Staff always courteous and flavors are great! Prefer the sugar free turtle ice cream and love when it's in stock! No pic cause I ate it all! Haha! Heard the lobster roll is the best in the neighborhood and will have to try it. Plenty of great seats and of course it's seasonally available. April to November typically. read more

I mean are you even a Northern Westchester resident if you haven't tried King Kone? Their ice cream is good, my dog enjoys his pup cups, too. I just wish there was more seating area and that it was better kept and cleaned between guests, etc. without proper cleaning the tables quickly turn into a bee galore. Also- there's been times when it was so ridiculously busy that we changed our mind and went home. read more

A well-loved roadside stand of long standing in the community, from what I hear. When I'm in the area I love stopping for a pulled pork sandwich with their coleslaw on top. Their onion rings are light and delicious. Perfect. Of course, I have to finish with ice cream. Their soft serve is delicious, and so are the scoops. Great flavors! Paying by Venmo or Zelle is very handy, too. read more

Incredible ice cream Well run business We travel from Peekskill NY Usually long lines but line always move at a good speed!! read more

King Kone screams Americana. It's a small outdoor eatery on the side of the road with soft serve ice cream and summertime classics. This is a seasonal spot and there's always a line. There are plenty of picnic tables with umbrellas to shield you from the sun. Great for groups and families. They have lobster rolls, pull pork sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, etc. They have classic vanilla and chocolate soft serves as well as hard scoop flavors and various topping options. Cash or Venmo only. read more

Decent ice cream, my only complaint is that the prices are Extremely High! Thus, we go once a year.

The place has become much friendlier since the scamdemic. Food was fresh cooked perfectly and much faster then expected considering how busy they are There's also line so be prepared to chill It's an outdoor establishment with picnic tables in their own space or sit in your car Prices were fair for the times we are currently living in Definitely order a burger here as it's better then almost every restaurant I have been too read more

Awesome spot for ice cream. Cool atmosphere. Don't worry, the line moves along quickly.

Have been coming here for over 20 years and it finally happened: The serving sizes have shrunk substantially while the prices have skyrocketed. That's the end of the king kone for me and my family. Time to change their name to run-of-the-mill cone. read more

Great place. Ice cream is delicious and they have a lot of choices and toppings. I've eaten food off of the grill menu and that was very good as well. Nice outdoor seating area with umbrella covered tables, which is also dog friendly... one of my favorite summer spots for some ice cream. Service is acceptable. read more

This place is always packed. All outside tables - very rustic. Great variety of hard ice cream to choose from besides the soft serve. An ice cream experience unlike most! read more

It was fine other than the long line. It did move quickly. A fun family outing for yummy ice cream,

If you are looking for a classic northern Westchester ice cream spot, this is the one. While I have tried and enjoyed the ice cream, I would say that the soft serve and other ice cream creations are what they do best. The shop is right off the road and often has either a long line or very limited parking, especially considering the busy street that you have to turn in from (a double yellow line if coming from the other direction as well). Accommodations include lots of picnic style tables and chairs, along with some counter space. The business is cash only. read more

King Kone - Ice cream with whipped cream, sprinkles, and marshmallow sauce. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Katonah, New York

King Kone is a well-established ice cream stand known for their soft serve and hard ice creams BUT what most people don't know is that they offer a very eclectic menu of food that is very good. I have friends who replied to my other social media post they didn't there was that much food offered. We ate the lobster roll platter and hamburger. They make the lobster salad daily and some days 2-3 times so it's nice and fresh according to woman I messaged. The platter comes with seasoned fries and a small cup of coleslaw. The lobster roll was made up of a mayo based cold lobster salad with a substantial flavor of lemon. I liked the kick of lemon because it elevated the flavor. It was served on a nice toasted bun. The fries were crispy and tasty. Could have done w/o the coleslaw, not that good. My husband's cheeseburger served on a brioche bun was hearty and tasty. Lettuce and Tomato are extra. There is something for meat and seafood lovers as well as a kid's menu. Some food items are fried shrimp, crab cake, clam strips, lobster club, chicken & waffles, grilled cheese, pulled pork, mac & cheese bites, fried raviolis. Their menu is online so check it out. DON'T FORGET THE ICE CREAM: cones, cups, dips, sundaes, smoothies, milk shakes, banana splits, etc. It's cash only but they have an onsite ATM and lots of picknick tables under shaded trees if you want to eat outdoors. They are not open year-round so check that info online too. read more

Grew up going to King Kone and hadn't been here in perhaps two decades until this past week. Got their classic vanilla-chocolate twist soft-serve with rainbow sprinkles, and while it was good, I was kind of tired of it after a while. It wasn't as flavorful as nearby Carvel or had that "oomph" a great soft serve has. With the lines so long, I say pass and go to Carvel instead in Mount Kisco. But if the line is short (a rarity), it's worth checking out: read more

King Kone - The line moves Fast! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Katonah, New York

Old school ice cream and fried food in an outdoor picnic-table setting on the side of the road in a beautiful area. The ice cream, is of course, fantastic (they also make shakes and other treats), but the fried food is underrated as well. It's not just pretzels, hot dogs, and hockey puck burgers...the burgers are actually delicious (they use good quality meat), and they offer unexpected treats like lobster rolls, pulled pork sandwiches, and shrimp tempura which are phenomenal. The ambience is a throwback to a simpler time, the owners are wonderful people, and this place provides jobs for local teens to hone their work ethic. If you don't like King Kone, there's something wrong with you, not with King Kone. read more

I came to get an ice cream cone on 6/6. I waited in line socially distancing. There were signs all over but this was my first time so I was reading the menu. I go up to order and get a small twist CONE with rainbow sprinkles. $4.88. I wait for my ticket number to be called only to be handed a covered cup of twist ice cream with sprinkles. I said I ordered a cone. I was told "we are not serving cones". I said then why was I not told that when I ordered. He went and asked the lady in front who said there were signs all over saying they were not serving cones. I was handed a cone in wax paper on the side. I said I was only taking the ice cream bc it was already served. I will never come back. Overpriced and bad attitude. read more
