We came here for ice cream. For the ice cream alone, this would be 3 stars. But with the food (we…read moredidn't order any, but it looked really good), the outdoor area, and the mini-golf course, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The ice cream was okay. It's limited to about a dozen flavors between hard and soft. The hard ice cream flavors (we got hard ice cream this time) were more traditional, the soft ice cream flavors were more creative and interesting. Prices were about the same for similar sizes, though, but $4 and change for a small dish seemed slightly above average compared to the same amount elsewhere. Then again, there's nothing else that close to this place with whom to be competitive. Spoons aren't available here unless you order ice cream. The spoons are plastic, looking more like they're designed for iced tea or milkshakes, with long, slender, flimsy handles, and only teaspoon-sized for scooping. That's fine for a shake or soft ice cream, but they were a bit too flimsy for digging into hard ice cream. The flavors could have been a little stronger too, though the stuff in the special flavors (e.g., the Moose Tracks), made up for it. This is a fine place to go if you're looking for a meal with ice cream, or mini-golf plus food or drink. Then again, there's nothing else like it for many miles in any direction.

Not only did she cover the ice cream, she gave me an extra cup of sprinkles! We also played mini golf and the course is very well manicured and a great level of challenge. I appreciated that it had real obstacles (versus just flat pictures of them). I would definitely come back here if I was in the area again!

Forewarned is forearmed. If you're going to hang around for even a little time, you'd do well to scope out nearby restrooms. Just in case. (Most burger/ice-cream stands in the area have restrooms; I was surprised, and not pleasantly, to find this place, which certainly isn't tiny, doesn't.) Having said that, the grilled stuff and ice cream remain as modestly priced and tasty as ever.

I had a wonderful first experience here! It was super cute inside with authentic local charm. I…read morewalked in and was immediately greeted! When I explained that I drive by all the time but it was my first time in, they welcomed me and thanked me for my business! They were very gracious when I needed a few minutes to review the menu and answered all my questions with enthusiasm. I just couldn't believe how good the service was! I ordered the Lox bagel sandwich, I believe it is called the Fisherman on a toasted onion bagel with a Chai tea latte. They have an impressive selection of cream cheese flavors available (I chose the bacon scallion) and they loaded my sandwich with delicious fresh veggies! Both my sandwich and my latte were absolutely wonderful! I was honestly shocked how on point everything was! No criticism and no critiques, please just keep up the good work and the food quality and I will be back soon! If you are like me and keep on driving past this place, I highly encourage you to stop in and show this local spot some love!

I've only dined at Next Door Kitchen & Bar once before, and that was 8 years ago. I don't think I…read morewas completely hooked then. What a difference a few years can make. This was an amazing experience. Every touch point was a pure joy, from the moment I entered and was promptly and politely seated, to the last few minutes as I chatted with one of the owners, Chris. Every single interaction we experienced gave us the comfort of being amongst friends who were happy to see us, and more importantly happy to be here. From our fully engaging server to the wonderful highschool sophomore who never let our water glasses get below half full, each and every person made our experience just that: an experience of excellence and perfect attention to detail. Our meals were just as delicious as the people. The Grilled Double-Cut Pork Chop was an absolute triumph--impeccably juicy, beautifully charred, and perfectly balanced by earthy morels, rich creamed ramps, and the bright, sweet pop of local cherries. The reimagined "Ratatouille" was a stunning work of art, featuring a beautifully seared zucchini steak, smoky eggplant crème, and a crisp, fresh nest of squash topped with plump, perfectly grilled shrimp. For the perfect conclusion, the Espresso Crème Brûlée delivered a silky, robust coffee custard beneath a shatteringly crisp caramelized crust, brilliantly elevated by the crunch of cacao nibs. What truly elevated the evening, however, was how flawlessly they handled my strict wheat- and grain-free dietary needs. Navigating menus with these restrictions can often feel stressful, but our server and the chef made every possible effort to accommodate me. They proactively verified every sauce and reduction to ensure they were safe, and the kitchen effortlessly modified the dessert by putting the biscotti on the side. To enjoy a multi-course, world-class meal with that level of meticulous care and total peace of mind is incredibly rare. They didn't just accommodate a restriction; they crafted a masterpiece around it. We certainly won't be waiting another 8 years to return.

I am just saying that Stewarts definitely has the money at store it is extremely busy throughout the whole day!!! I think they should put a notice up letting you know if it's over $500 they refuse to cash or don't sell lottery.... you took my cash to purchase but don't want to pay out if you win my advice do not tell them if you have or a $500 just the store and give your ticket instead of trying to be nice and let them figure it out on how they're gonna pay you your money!!!!
