    Ice cream menu
    Jennifer E.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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....

    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.

    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

    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!!

    Soft serve infused with FLY.

    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.

    Lobster Roll Platter

    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!

    Yummy! A local favorite. I love the milkshakes and their quick bites. Great for lunch or a mid-day "pick me up" snack.

    Fun place to drop in for a cone. The burger and fries were also good. King Cone is evidently a "thing" in the area and I'm glad we came.

    10/10 If you're…read morevisiting New York, this place is an absolute must try! I ordered the Chicken Platter, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The platter comes with perfectly seasoned chicken over rice, along with fresh lettuce and tomatoes. I got the famous white sauce and hot sauce on the side so I could add as much as I wanted, and both took the dish to the next level. The chicken was flavorful, tender, and paired perfectly with the rice. The portion was generous and incredibly filling, making it an excellent value. Everything tasted fresh, and I honestly enjoyed every bite. That said, it was so good I could probably eat two platters! The line was long, but don't let that discourage you it moved steadily and was absolutely worth the wait. Whether you're a local or just visiting NYC, this is one of those iconic spots you have to experience at least once. it!

    I have worked at 6th/50th st for over 25 years and the Halal Guys location near 53rd and 6th is a…read moreshort walk. I have eaten here at least 200 times over those 25 years. I don't go as much as I use to, as the price has more than doubled since 2017/18. However, that has nothing to do with my rating. My problem is that meats have gone downhill. I used to love gyro meat - never sure what it was exactly lamb or beef - but now it is just gross and greasy. The chicken which used to be excellent is now very dry. The white sauce is great and the rice is fine, but that is it. Not worth getting anymore. Maybe one of their competitors is better, can't really be worse.
