I got a double scoop sundae with two scoops of Nutella Chip. It was nice, but there wasn't much of a Nutella flavor; it could've been richer. The hot fudge and chocolate chunks helped make up for that, however. Almonds were a little on the bitter side. Not pictured are cups of black raspberry and dairy free pumpkin that I got for a family member; they wolfed most of it down pretty quick, lol. I was still able to taste them both and they were delicious. The black raspberry was smooth and you could taste the real fruit. I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin spice but that one was good as well and I liked that they had a tasty vegan product on the menu. Very good ice cream. I'll be back for sure.

The soft serve we were given was completely melted--essentially liquid. In addition, something was…read moreclearly wrong with the hot fudge; it had a strong chemical taste, which was extremely concerning. The lavender ice cream itself tasted fine, but upon closer inspection in the light, I noticed multiple brown spots throughout. I wasn't sure whether this was from cross-contamination with another flavor via the scooper or from the ice cream sitting out for too long. Given that we were already served melted ice cream along with hot fudge that tasted chemical-like, it was difficult to feel confident about the quality or safety of the product. I called Dairy Delite to express my concerns and was told to discard the ice cream and return the following day for complimentary replacements. I appreciated how they handled the situation, which is the reason for the three-star rating instead of one. However, after this experience, I don't feel comfortable returning.

The mounds of Reese's on top definitely helped lol but the ice cream itself tasted so fresh, flavorful and creamy. I got the salted cashew caramel and cookies & cream and even though they were both great the salted cashew caramel was my favorite! I wish this place was closer so I could go every weekend. (Pro tip - get some fries to go from Lockworks down the street and dip it in the ice cream for the best 'girl dinner') Definitely a must even if you're an hour away like we are!

This was our first time and we were really excited by all of the flavors listed on the website. We assumed going in that they wouldn't have every flavor available but were pleasantly surprised but the amount that they had.

We had coffee Oreo (big big hit!), chocolate peanut butter brownie (so good), chocolate chip cookie dough (good but nothing special) and cake batter (also good but nothing special).

Glenwood Drive-In is a historic family restaurant that opened in Hamden, Connecticut in 1955. It…read morewas founded by Rocky Stone. The property was originally a small drive-in that operated under a different name. Stone purchased the drive-in after working as a Tip-Top salesman and deliveryman. He renamed it "Glenwood" and expanded the menu, hours and the physical building. After Stone passed away in 1960, his son Frank "Wayne" Stone took it over and he continues to run it today. In the early days, the Glenwood had a walk-up service window similar to establishments such as Dairy Queen. Over the years, Wayne remodeled the interior and added an indoor seating area. The menu consists of staples such as footlongs, chili dogs, cheeseburgers, clam strips, lobster rolls, soft shell crab, fries, onion rings, and much more! Although the establishment is no longer a traditional drive-in restaurant, the Glenwood still hosts classic car "Cruise Nights" every Wednesday during the warmer months. In 1985, Wayne's daughter opened "Kelly's Cone Connection": an adjoining ice cream parlor business that is connected to the Glenwood. Although both businesses share the same space, they operate as separate entities. Kelly makes all of her own ice cream, hot fudge, waffle cones, ice cream pies and birthday cakes in house. Customers can expect to choose from about 35 different flavors on any given day. My family and I recently stopped for dinner at Glenwood Drive-In. Growing up in the area, I visited the Glenwood several times throughout my childhood. I also frequently accompanied my father to "Cruise Nights" when he still owned a 1971 Triumph TR6. On this outing, we ordered a variety of menu items including a "Chili Cheese Dog", "Footlong", "Chicken Fingers w/ Fries", and "Fried Shrimp w/ Fries". There's something about those classic menu staples that just really hit the spot. Afterwards, we headed through the adjoining doorway to Kelly's Cone Connection for dessert. It was a special occasion because the ice cream parlor was hosting a meet & greet with Spider-Man himself. The event coincided with the release of a new monthly special called the "Spidey-Sundae" (Firework 250 Poprock ice cream w/ golden Oreos, a frosting and sprinkle rim w/ a cotton candy web, poprocks, & a Spider-Man ring). My sons both had a blast meeting Spider-Man and eating his special ice cream treat. I tried a different monthly special: the "New England Clam Chowder" (sweet cream salted caramel ice cream w/ white chocolate "clams", dried mint, vanilla wafers, white chocolate shell). The presentation was immaculate and the flavor combo was simply divine! If you're looking for classic American drive-in food along with some fantastic ice cream, then head to Glenwood Drive-In and Kelly's Cone Connection!

This review is based upon my recent visit to support my Food Blogger friends @thesidedishers who inspired a sundae there. It was this crazy combination based on Thanksgiving sides. I believe the components included corn casserole ice cream. Sweet potato casserole ice cream. Cranberry sauce. Whipped cream. And freeze dried green beans, for texture, and because it's Thanksgiving. LOL This was an exceptionally cool and creative seasonal Sundae. My favorite combination was the sweet corn ice cream with the sweet and acidic cranberry sauce. Will I ever order a sundae with green beans again? Probably not, but I can't rule it out. I've gotten to know Kelly a bit from my own food blogging. She's very nice and cares about the craft of making ice cream the right way. Cticecreamtour, who has an ice cream food truck featuring some of the best ice cream shops in CT has carried multiple Kelly's ice creams, and that's all I needed to know. 4.5 Stars

A place that made good ice cream that met my sweet tooth. Portions may be a little pricy- expect maybe $10 per person? Again, this was my experience. Hope yours is enjoyable as well.
