So happy we were able to eat in-person! Safe distancing, clean booths, masks worn by staff, great customer service, yummy steak sandwich and ice cream floats, Mr. Doumar (Son) outside making cones, and seeing Mr. Doumar (Dad) smiling on the wall! Such a wonderful, traditional experience for my son to start college! ❤

Home of the original waffle cone and they have the machine to prove it! Servings are just the right size for an anytime treat. A throw back that still draws a crowd. You can get service at your car or park and go inside (after stupid Covid goes away).
