Ok on to the food... I tried a bacon cheeseburger, cheese-sticks, teriyaki chicken, and barbecue chicken. The presentation of the burger is lacking, however I bit into it and the flavor was amazing. Do not let the look fool you. The cheese-sticks were super crunchy and fat. So good but wish they offered marinara instead of ranch. Barbecue chicken was bold and beautiful and little spicy but lacked a little flavor. On the flip side the teriyaki looked blah but was amazing in taste. Service was friendly, and quick. Ambiance is that if little roadside burger joint. Nothing fancy but food is great. New fav lunch spots. Oh and prices were cheap!

Every time we go, the place gets packed! They are quick to attend to you, but make sure you look at their wall of flavors to know what to order. All of the flavors are so unique! Keep in mind -- their small size is actually pretty big, so if you don't plan on eating a lot, be prepared to share. My personal favorite is their Monkey Business ice cream. The only "negative" about Handel's is that the shop at this location is quite small. There's hardly any seating inside, aside from one bench by the wall. But you can take it with you as you walk around the park? It's definitely a grab and go spot.

It was one of the most plentiful banana split I've had where there were so many other topics. We also got rocky road with our ice cream sundae and it was just decadent. We couldn't finish.
