    Perfect grab and go lunch spot with classic fast food style options. We took our meal to the beach, but there's seating available. Didn't try the ice cream, but it seemed very popular.

    Quick service and great prices! I got a Chicago style hotdog, delish! My husband got a cheeseburger, delish! And we got milkshakes. My husband got the famous strawberry shake and we can see why it is famous. I got the coffee ice cream shake and it was so good. They have a great little patio to sit and eat. Loved it!

    Great mural!

    We kept seeing Nancy's on the way to the beach and knew we needed to stop by. The ice cream mural on the side of the building is so awesome and eye-catching! You walk up to order from the windows, and we picked up some Chicago dogs, a chocolate shake, and a cup of Unicorn Stars, which was a fun and colorful flavor featuring "sparkly glitter star candies and magical sprinkles," and it came with a fun color changing spoon! The staff was friendly and efficient, and there's a nice seating area just to the side of the building near some of the neighboring shops. Some are even under the overhang, so despite the fact that it had rained on the day of our visit, we had no problem finding dry seating. Cute place with a convenient location!

    My kids wanted sorbet but I am a sucker for coffee ice cream in a waffle cone, so that's exactly what I planned to order. I double backed to Nancy's, unsure where or what to do... when I originally walked by, there wasn't anyone there, but now the line wrapped around the corner... however, the line did move pretty quickly and the man taking the orders was very chill and easy to take orders. I listened to him take small and large orders, from ice cream to lots of hot dogs!!! There's a cute little outdoor eating area w umbrellas for shade but this was too good not to share!

    WRONG HOURS

    WRONG HOURS!! I came here at 9pm and it was closed but online it said that it was open until 10pm

    Stopped for late lunch. In a great location for the lake and shops. Cheeseburger, Philly cheesesteak, cheese curds, Chicago dog, Chicken wrap, pretzel. Ice cream, shake and float too.

    yummy!!! I got the buckeye blitz & mackinac island peanut butter fudge. It was amazing. They had so many unique flavors to choose from. I would love to return and try something different. Everyone else I was with were happy with their icecream & shake

    Large fry's
    Charlotte D.

    The service was very poor. The fry's where hot that was a plus on top of the over priced food. For a tourist stop this is not a warm staff.

    We loved the ice cream but the root beer float was sub par. Could've used a better quality root beer. Scoop size of ice cream is generous. Nice color changing straw.

    Esmeralda B.

    Great ice cream. I had the chocolate peanut butter and it had Reese's peanut butter cups! Mini chocolate chip and cookie dough did not disappoint. Root beer float was also good. The thing that needs improvement is the wait. We waited quite some time for our order. Staff is nice. Picnic tables were clean.

    Great shakes! Could use a serious cleaning. Maxwell was charred beyond recognition. Buns were stale. Clean up your act!

    You know, as much as I have been to Oink's in my lifetime, I cannot believe that I forgot to leave…read morea review for them YEARS ago! First let me start by saying that Oink's and I go way back. I believe that the first time I went there was in 1988 when I was 16 (my two older cousins were raised in Union Pier), and since I visit SW MI at least twice a year, I never leave without going to Oink's before coming home. As I always took my kids to Warren Dunes instead of Chicago beaches, my kids always got to enjoy Oink's before coming back home also! So this year was no different and my wife and I got to sit down and enjoy ice cream before coming back home. I have always loved the different ice cream flavors (especially strawberry cheesecake), and as I always do, I bought a few pig keychains and other things from the gift shop. I also have always loved the old-school vibe! So every time I am up that way, I'll be there!! One last thing: I got to meet Coach Vink back in the day because my older two cousins (The McSmith brothers, who both passed away unexpectedly in 2024 and 2025), played for him at New Buffalo High School. Coach was a good dude, and I was sorry to hear of his passing. So, see you next time I'm up there!

    Another ice cream review from another favorite!…read more Oink's has been around for ages and is always a great place to stop in if you're in New Buffalo! There's a parking lot and other fun places in walking distance as well to check out. The decor in Oink's will never leave you bored. There is so much to look at! They have a number system so once you enter, be sure to grab a ticket with a number on it and it'll flash on the screen. There were a few groups who came in who were unaware of that and so the lines and ordering process was a tad chaotic. Eventually one of the staff mentioned something about grabbing a ticket and it was easily sorted. Everyone working was very friendly and patient which is a huge plus. I tried out one of their cherry and chocolate ice cream flavors. So tasty! I also love knowing you can get a half scoop as well although it was still so much ice cream. The perfect place for a sweet treat!

I love animals, so it didn't bother me that we were seated between 2 tables both with large dogs that were almost on us. But, for non dog people, it might be nice to have an area without. The vibes & decor is so cute. Mid century modern with pastel colors. Reminds me of Palm Springs. Our server was so sweet & offered menu suggestions. For a drink, I went with the post limon beer. It was so refreshing. Seriously one of my favorites for summer. Shareable plates is the way to go. We got to try more menu items. We started with the bread service. It came with whipped hot honey butter. So good. Next was the watermelon salad with cucumber, jalapeños, and Cojita cheese. Refreshing & delicious. Last up was the chicken sando & Cajun seasoned French fries with an aioli. The sandwich was crispy & the bun was soft. I loved it. The fries were crispy & perfect. The amount of fries was great, but I could have had more of the aioli or ketchup also. We didn't get dessert, although the 3 on the menu looked amazing. Maybe next time. Can't wait to come back.

The prices are a tad high, but this is definitely a fun spot to meet friends or family in town for a visit! I was surprised to learn from 7a-1p, through Labor Day the outdoor seating belonged to Infusco, the food truck located on the property which serves coffee, cold brews and assorted breakfast items, which is a great option if you're staying in downtown New Buffalo and want a casual outdoor quick bite and coffee! There is a host stand located outside and indoors which makes checking in for reservations convenient. The staff was friendly and helpful and our server made sure to explain their tapas-style dining. The menu had a great variety of apps and entrées and they had tasty and fun cocktail options. We enjoyed most of our food, we all loved the grilled chicken Caesar salad and bang bang shrimp; however, felt the scallops were just ok. Overall, the food was tasty and served hot. Street parking and an outdoor pay parking lot are located nearby.
