The burger was charred and there was absolutely no seasoning or passion in there food i see why this is a hot spot among the seniors also the cheese fries are not cheese fries read more

I ordered a hot turkey sandwich. Two thick slices of bread with canned gravy and dried chunks of turkey. Very, very salty. Ate about a third and tossed the rest. Such an easy, inexpensive dish to make properly with homemade gravy and thinly sliced turkey. Ice cream is good though. read more

Fresh ingredients; a nice variety of both salads and American classics; very reasonable prices; basically the perfect fast casual stop while on a road trip. read more

This establishment has drastically declined. We have faithfully visited for 30 years. The ice cream had always been an award winner! We had a seat every Friday for an amazing Fishfry. Unfortunately, our Fridays became less as quality declined. Today, I visited for lunch and the chicken panini had a processed mess on a nice roll. Total garbage! With such a small menu...every item should be memorable. (In a good way) Please don't mess with the only thing you have going for you...the ice cream! read more

You will love this cute café with all the yummy food and great service! For sure you need to try the homemade ice cream! Make sure to order the flight of ice cream where you can pick any four flavors and it's enough to share with someone. Bananas Foster and Mounds are my favorite! I'll be returning again and again! read more

A restaurant so cute and serves such tasty fresh food, we went there for both lunch and dinner on the same day. We found it because it was close to Crystal Grove Diamond Mine, and was looking for a close place to eat. I had the Roasted Garlic and Cheddar burger for lunch. My husband had the Apple Cheddar burger. The kids had chicken fingers fries. We were very quiet because the food was so good. Then we left and went back to our hotel in Johnstown. Yet, couldn't find anything except for an Applebees and Friendly's nearby, so made the 25 minute drive back to Parkside Drive in. For dinner, we ordered the American standard for my older son, chicken fingers again for the younger son, the Texas beef special for myself, and the pulled pork platter for my husband. Everyone was satisfied. I forgot to take all of the fixings off the American Standard burger and had to go back to the counter to ask for them to be removed. My older son is a picky eater. They were able to accommodate. I sat back down and a woman came by and gave us back $1.25 in cash. I thought that was so over the top nice. We then ordered their homemade hard ice cream and milkshake for dessert. It is so creamy and delish. Outstanding flavors too. I had a hard time choosing one. The decor is so stylish and cute. A very clean place too. Service so friendly. We will remember Parkside Drive-in and try to return. Thank you! read more

Good take out ice cream. Many choices and good flavors. Excellent friendly staff. We did not notice to we left that there were outside tables behind the building. The picnic tables out back lacked shade. read more

This is a review for the ice cream only. This place has the best ice cream within 10 miles any direction. My favorites are the fudge brownie, butter pecan, and the chocolate. Buyer beware portion sizes are large so a medium is comparable to a large at most places. The ice cream has that perfect soft and thick texture and is full of creamy delicious flavor. You can order either inside or outside. Parking is a private lot and you can usually find 1-2 spots. The cost can't be beat I ordered 1 shake, 2 cups of ice cream with sprinkles, 2 cones of ice cream with sprinkles all for only $19! Overall the service is a little slow but it's on par for the area. If you are around this area late spring, summer, or early fall do yourself a favor and stop here. I recommend it! read more

I love this place! Very cute and cozy with a welcoming staff. I ordered a veggie panini and homemade potato salad, my mother ordered a burger in a gown free wrap with the same salad. We were both very happy with our lunch! I have had their ice cream in the past it is also delicious! read more

We stopped to see if any dairy-free ice cream options were offered. The young lady at the walk-up window said yes but needed to ask another employee about the ingredients. This employee seemed very busy and kind of yelled "almond milk!" at us. I was a bit deterred by her unwelcoming attitude but pressed on as the appeal of being able to enjoy a dairy-free delight in my own village had taken firm hold in my mind. As I began to ask the all-important questions about using clean utensils to avoid cross-contamination, I was cut off and sharply told that cross-contamination was inevitable as the scoops all share the same dipping well. Hmmmmm. So why then offer dairy-free ice cream to people? The way it is served here is not dairy-free and therefore unsafe for people with a dairy allergy or intolerance and that can be some serious business. I appreciated the very clear answer to my question but did not appreciate the sharp and abrupt way the message was delivered. Oh, and some almond milk ice cream would have been nice but certainly not at the expense of my health. read more

Who would have thought there would be such a good ice cream place in the middle of up-state NY. The place really takes you back in time, I feel like I was transferred back in the time to the 1950s. The price is super cheap for their ice cream. $2.95 for a huge ice soft serve ice cream, add in 0.50 for a waffle cone, I'm sold! The size is huge, I got a small and it is as huge as a large size elsewhere. read more

I have lived in the area most of my life and have always frequented Parkside. I have also seen many changes since I first began going. Food has always been delicious--zero complaints there!! Ice cream is also superb. Incredibly friendly and clean atmosphere. The only reason I am rating at a 3 is for price and portions. Throughout time the prices have climbed and the portion sizes have decreased. Few, if any of the selections, come with anything which wouldn't be a problem if the price to add on fries and such wasn't a tad ridiculous. Recently got a small ice cream there for about $2.95. (the local Stewart's sells a half gallon for about $4). Wouldn't mind paying that much if I actually got a nice portion of ice cream but it was in fact quite small. Overall, outstanding dinner spot if you are willing to pay the price! read more

German chocolate ice cream was SO delicious. The servings are huge. I got the small and it was pretty much like 8 inches of ice cream - soft and super creamy. I would definitely like to try this restaurant for lunch sometime! read more

Great little stop on a day's ride. Plenty of lunch choices and had trouble picking one. Tons of ice cream flavors to cool off with on a hot day. Was busy but staff worked hard to get everyone their meals in decent time. Would definitely recommend for bikers. Plenty of easy parking. read more

Food was really good! But the lady who served us was not very pleasant.. the coffee is to DIE for!!!

Horrible experience at this restaurant. The service and food were both awful. The owners need to rethink their staff on a Sunday afternoon. Disrespectful teenagers! read more

Worst lunch I can remember Staff was rude, Chicken Pesto panini was awful, Cold "Loaded" chili was reheated with the cheese and sour cream still in it to become a terrible mess. The only positive thing is that the next terrible meal I have I can say.....at least it's better than the Parkside Drive-In.... read more

Park side is a great place to take the family for lunch of dinner or just ice cream. The ice cream at park side is great! The burgers are great and so are the chicken tenders. For ice cream, the worms and dirt is the absolute best! Yo recomiendo Park Side. Me gusta el hamburguesas y pollo. También me gusta el helado. El helado es muy delicioso. El lombrices y suciedad helado es lo mejor. ¡Park Side es muy excelente¡ read more

My husband and I used to frequent Parkside pretty much every Friday night when our kids were small and the prices couldn't be beat and the portions were of good size. Since all the new remodeling and expansions of the place the prices seemed to rise and the food portions were.... Meh!!! We actually stopped going for probably at least 6+ years because suddently everything seemed to be ala carte where you had to add 'sides' to your order, which of course meant more $$. Just this past weekend we decided to give it another try since it has been quite sometime that we frequented the place and now I know why we stopped going. My husband ordered their 'Hot Covered Roast Beef Sandwich' $6.99 and fries had to be ordered (additional). Okay, so now the price jumps to $8.99 and then a charge of .40 cents more to add gravy on the fries. So now the prices jumps to $9 dollars and some change. It was not even real homemade gravy because it was lumpy on the sandwich and fries. We ate out on the terrace and by time my husband's food got to our table it was cold. I ordered a Cobb Salad which I will admit was a good/decent size salad but it did not have 'grilled' chicken as described in the menu. I actually had to search for the chicken (which was small cubed pressed chicken). I ordered water and my husband order a small beverage which was pretty much all ice. Needless to say it was a very disappointing meal and you can be assured that Parkside will not be on my list of places to eat any longer. read more

This place is the real deal. Best brisket and pulled pork since we lived in Georgia. Slamming from-scratch chili. Best sweet potato fries ever. Place is clean as a whistle. The ice cream sizes are ridiculous. I got a medium soft ice cream in sugar cone and the thing is so huge it took 15 minutes to eat it. I'm so full I can't breathe! read more

A nice "drive-in" restaurant and ice cream shop with a nostalgic feel to it. Food is pretty decent (for a quick meal) and the ice cream is good, too. If you're in the area and craving a bite, it's certainly worth the stop. read more

Spectacular. The food was excellent as well as interesting and very fair price. The service was gracious and quick and I highly recommend this for lunch a snack or a full meal. read more

If you want to pay the price it is ok. They are rude and expensive. Not the best choice around. I do not go there. Ice cream is expensive and food so so. Keith V. read more

Ice cream is to die for and food is amazing but portions are small and expensive it's great place to go on a weekend out but for constant dining I'd say no read more

A little pricy for what it is, but the food and service is always fantastic. I've never gotten something that I haven't been satisfied with.

The owner was very rude and disrespectful. The food is okay but not worth the price. I will not recommend this place to anyone.
