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

Great ice cream ! This is not a sit down store, you walk up to the window and order what you want and then you move to the side is the building and pick up your order when completed.

Popular place. $6.50 for small malted , it was delicious . They have hard and soft serve ice cream , flavors change, and also have regular food items. Will return when in the area. read more

If you have anything bad to say about King Kone, then go home, because you don't deserve King Kone. If you're a Gen Xer (or older) this place will take you back in time. Delicious soft serve and simple 'in a basket' foods done well. Service is always friendly and fast. Plenty of seating under the umbrella tables. Parking can be tricky, but worth the effort. read more

King Kone - Banana cream ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Katonah, New York

The ice cream is soooo good so many options I visited for the first time and I loved it my girlfriend was so excited to hear they were finally open read more

Stopped here for the first time last week. It's cash only, so make sure you have cash! The parking situation was tough, even though they have a lot of spots. It's just a busy road and difficult to find a spot safely. They have an adorable outside area with picnic tables and umbrellas, and it even has a little play area for the kiddies. I loved that they had some unique flavors of (hard) frozen yogurt. I had the raspberry chocolate chunk and it was really tasty. My husband had the blueberry cheesecake, which was also yummy. For a small cup and a large waffle cone, it came to $9.50 PS they do serve food here (hot dogs, etc) but we did not have any. read more

King Kone - 2 King Cups... Is this what they are supposed to look like? Very disappointed. $7.50 each for a half filled cup. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Katonah, New York

Reminded me of Carvel soft serve. They had both soft serve and hard ice cream, and a ton of toppings to choose from. The soft serve was good, but not amazing. Classic ice cream joint. Be prepared to wait on line! We lucked out and only had to wait for about 5 minutes, but the line was about 25 people deep by the time we finished ordering. People just kept coming in droves. read more

Great family friendly location The reason for 3 stars is the portion sizes have been cut back ALLOT. Prices have gone up which is expected but the portion size should remain the same read more

It's a very dangerous location. There are too many people there on the corner right next to a main road. The ice cream and food is very expensive. The lines are very long. read more

Best ice cream ever! Enough said. They are cashless but accept venmo which is cool. Defibiteky a must when in katonah.

I love the chocolate lover's chocolate ice cream. You really can't beat this place, it's a neighborhood staple!

Excellent ice cream and easy to find Nice seating area and friendly staff who are happy with suggestions. read more

The workers were unkind. Ice cream is always phenomenal though. What business in 2024 doesn't take card and makes you feel bad about not knowing that? (There are many signs they will tell you exist and they'll make sure you know you're an idiot for not seeing them). The old women is particularly crotchety and I'm shocked she is a face of customer service at this establishment. read more

Ice cream, ice cream, I cream. Get your ice cream here! Open about half the year the ice cream is delicious' as of wide variety. It's a good setup and if you live, go to school, eat, play drive through the area, most likely you've stopped by on a warm evening, gotten line and been very satisfied when the oversized scoops finally ready your hands and subsequently your lips. Come over, mingle with locals, have some great ice cream and make it one of your families traditions also!! read more

Here is what I love about this place.... It is one of the best spots for Ice Cream--and lots of it!! Whether you get a cone or a cup, they have some amazing sundaes. One of my favorites is the s'mores sundae. For $8.50, you get a lot of ice cream to fill your craving twice over. If you have a dinner craving, don't miss their lobster roll platter. The freshest lobster on a role with fries and cole slaw for $23.50. Go to Maine and this price goes up by a lot. If Lobster is not your thing, try their Heart Attack Burger. Pun intended... it is to die for! This is one of the best 'off-the-side-of-the-road' spots in Westchester. Plan a trip here and then head over to Lasdon Park for a walk. Keep two things in mind, this place is only open until about Mid October and then it closes for the winter and opens mid to late spring. The second thing to keep in mind is that this place does not accept credit cards. Bring cash or have a Venmo account ready to pay. read more

KING KONE IS INSANE. I literally LIVE for this place. My girlfriend is from Yorktown, but whenever I am at her house, I AM THE BAD INFLUENCE THAT BRINGS THE FAMILY TO KING KONE.... all you have to do is utter the two mighty words and you will be swimming in a river of vanilla and chocolatey ice cream goodness. I am weird and my thing is whenever I go to dope ice cream places like this, I try their brownie. The brownie here is really good. I get it mixed into a birthday cake flurry which is like a cake batter mcflurry with brownie bits and rainbow sprinkles and it is literally a party in my mouth. Social distancing is and always has been in effect. Have only ever had ice cream here. I literally wanna pass out everytime i eat the cream here its DANG GOOOOOD! read more

Lines form quickly and the wait was extensive. Our order was wrong and the manager (I'm assuming he was the manager, he didn't take our order and was the rudest/loudest person behind the counter) was demeaning. He did fix it and told us we were trying to get free food. Girl, that food isn't tasty enough to steal. You murdered my old bay fries with seasoning and your shrimp was nasty. Ice cream was good. read more

Heaven on earth! They are soft serve is the stuff of dreams. There is no better way to enjoy a beautiful summer evening than to sit outside and enjoy a twist cone! Don't forget the jimmies! read more

best ice cream in the area! I'm always sad when they close in the fall. Be prepared to wait, lines are long.

Excellent place ice cream is great service great. The line was long there. It's always that way but worth it.

This is a fun treat on a hot day or when you're on the run. There's a sandbox area for children to play in so you can have some mommy time with your friends. My son loves the cheeseburgers, I enjoy the bacon cheese fries! The ice cream is always a win-win. read more

King Kone - Logo ice cream cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Katonah, New York

I've never been a huge ice cream guy but I think this place changed that. Any flavor I've tried has been delicious and I can't get enough of it. I have to say my favorite is certainly Cinnamon bun but if you ask my girlfriend she says cappuccino crunch is the clear winner, so cappuccino crunch it is. Everyone in my family loves this place, highly recommend. 10/10 read more

A landmark among ice cream fanatics. Indulge your sweet tooth! For some it s a whistle stop...for others it's ice cream Mecca. (Great banana splits!) read more

The winner hands down for soft serve ice cream. Mine gets dipped in chocolate! Also try the raspberry sorbet and vanilla soft serve parfait.. heaven! read more

"Who doesn't like ice cream?" as quoted by my 6-year-old grandson. Well, it's more than that. King Kone is one of those nostalgic places. Everyone who lives in the vicinity has memories of early summer nights going for a soft serve (Dairy Queen style). It now has hard ice cream and food too! There's always a crowd, a slew of sports' team members buzzing and chatting happily around the picnic tables. You don't even mind waiting since it's such a happy place! It's the kind of place that's generational and evokes a sense of joy! If you're anywhere near route 100 and 35 off of 684--check it out!!! read more

What's not to love. Old fashioned drive in. Fabulous ice cream, great food. Families galore at outdoor tables under bright colored umbrellas. It's opened for the season now.Can not wait for the best hotdogs anywhere! read more

On my way back from my job in Yorktown when I stopped off at King Kone to get a couple chilli dogs which I usually do a few times per week. This time I had my electric bicycle with me and I plugged it in the only outlet I could find outside. So the owner of the place shows up and starts yelling "what's wrong with you" "your gonna blow my buildings breaker and melt all my ice cream" "you're blocking my employees unmarked entrance". He was a jerk and made me feel like I was a real p.o.s. I wish he just asked me to move it and I didn't have to re-live that trauma. I'll be stopping at 7-11 from now on to avoid the way that guy made me feel. read more

King Kone doesn't need my review. They are a drive-in ice cream stand. What more do you need to know. Every time I go, I get happy. Service is quick and cordial. Ice cream is smooth and creamy. I only get soft-serve. I don't need anything else. They have burgers and stuff. Once I got a root beer float. Every other time I got a chocolate/vanilla swirl in a cup. Sometimes with hot fudge. Sometimes with peanuts. Sometimes both. They take cash or Venmo. They have an ATM nearby. You're all set. Now go. read more

For the life of me I will never understand the appeal of this place. It's just regular ice cream. Nothing special about it whatsoever!!! Yet people line up waaaay down the street and wait forever to get their ice cream. There never isn't a ridiculous line. I refuse to ever try this place again because I have a life and won't be spending my time standing on an unreasonably long line just for regular ice cream. Also, if you ever make it to the front, which we did once, the workers are total dingbats. read more

Excellent as always! Juts now with this world being this way a little bit of a wait and line but all good and so worth the wait

Great place! It's a classic outdoor experience. The food worth the trip. There's a chicken and waffles dish I can't get enough of but of course King Cone is known for their ice cream - great options! read more

this is such good ice cream it is the best I have ever had love it you should definitely go

This throw back soft serve ice cream stand proves that size does matter. The towering soft serve cones are the staple here. There are plenty of other offerings but the soft serve ice cream is what makes this place a popular spot during the summer. Expect tough parking and long lines during the busy times but that won't deter the true ice cream fan from giving it a try. read more

First time this evening for the season. Guess what?! They're "collecting" sales tax. They also seemed to have raised the price on a medium soft serve cone to $4.50 total $4.83 They must have gotten in trouble with NYS Department Of Taxation & Finance (hope they get audited every year) It's a ca$h only business and I mentioned the change to the owner. She said we declare everything and submit the tax. Yeah! I believe that, btw I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale if anyone is interested. So in conclusion smaller cone, more expensive and they're "collecting" tax. I won't be going back. I can get a pint of yummy Cherry Garcia at Acme for less! read more

Whenever I'm in Katonah, I make it a point to stop at King Kone primarily for their ice cream cones. I usually get a large double with topping. They have a wide range of flavors all of which are delicious. Because I have a service and I'm always on the go, this type of decadence just hits my sweet spot. Although I start out trying to savor each mouthful, that's fleeting as before I know it, the cone is gone. read more
