The fish n chips taste like its was the pre-packaged frozen quality type. The burger was pretty bland and ordinary. Fries were warm. The only good part of the meal were the nice and crisp onion rings. The service is friendly and great. Food quality: 2/5, service: 4/5 (the older girl,perhaps she was the manager, was 5/5 very experienced and professional. The other younger girls seemed like interns and very inexperienced.
This was our first time eating at this restaurant. The food was about average. It seemed that the hamburger patty was probably a frozen patty instead of fresh made which was a little disappointing. I could be wrong but thats just what it seems like. Good service. The waitress was really attentive and helpful and nice. Prices were about average for this area. I would say theres nothing really special about this restaurant but we would eat there again.
My husband and I have been coming here since high school. Lovely little creamery that is pleasant, quick, and yummy. The kids love it.
I got the Cowboy skillet with extra thick bacon and it was good. The bacon and hash brown were nice and crispy, veggies were cooked well, and the eggs were made exactly the way I like it. The only bad part of the meal was the toast, which was burned and I couldnt finish it.
Excellent ice cream, didnt try anything else. Sadly customer service is probably all you can expect from a standard teenager these days.Really should not be discussing other employees being late in front of customers, and definitely shouldnt tell a customer to wait because you are going to text the late employee - but that was what I experienced.
I think most come here for the Tillamook ice cream, but we sat for lunch and really enjoyed the food (burger, fish & chips, and of course ice cream). The burger had a nice crispness on the bun and a really juicy patty at a good temperature. The fish was crispy and not overdone. I really want to give 4.5 stars, but I cant give 5 because our server missed some details of ours and another tables orders. I think if you just want standard food with no mods it will be an all round great experience.
Super meals and service. Wonderful patio dining. Our server was top-notch and attentive without being obtrusive. Very pleasant experience.
Solid traditional (Tilamook) Ice Cream Joint - across from the trendy/flashy one that shall not be named. Outdoor seating is nice!
I tried this place after donating platelets. When the burger arrived it looked wonderful. Then I realized the meat was under cooked. After 2 attempts at cooking the pink out of the patty it was done enough for me to eat it. In the 2nd picture you can still see blood floating around in what was left of the microwaved cheese. Out of personal maintenance I ate the burger. I cannot see that ever happening again. HOWEVER the milk shake was great ✌🏽
The staff was so friendly and helpful. Great burger and fries.... excellent shake!! Will definitely go back!
Went for lunch and waited more than 40 minutes for my food while it was not very busy. I watched the restaurant fill up and other people get their orders even though they came after me.. The back door was open and the entire patio smelled like a mop closet. I told the staff I had a chemical sensitivity, they treated me with disdain and told me that there were no chemicals. I guess they didnt realize I had worked there and I know exactly where the chemicals are kept. Regardless, it is considered uncouth and tactless to argue with a customer. Im not sure whos managing the place these days, because it looks a lot better than it used to, but the customer service has gone downhill and the cook times are horrendous for a Monday afternoon. I made a special trip for this and I regret it. We will never be back.
What a great place. the food was spot on such sweet staff
The servers were wonderful!!! I thought they were the owner’s children till I asked. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and professional!! Such a great experience!!
Good breakfast. Good portions, not too much food.
Awsome & ironically they have better fish & chips than Sabella & Latore on fishermans wharf no seagull food here folks!
Very under rated. Cool local spot to stare at local people ya dig?
Burger was good, shake was great. A little pricey for what it is.
Way better ice cream than the place across the street, in my opinion. Always been a home town favorite. And good service too. Weve mostly just been here for Ice Cream. So I cant really comment on the rest of their food. But the ice cream is fantastic.
Friend ran off and didnt pay for his icecream, they where very understanding and let it slide, awsome icecream as well.
Brought our daughter there for a celebration and they were out of common items. The hostess did not clean the tables from the previous customer and with the current times, I question how clean their facilities are. All in all it was not worth the experience and was not worth the cost of the ice cream.
Seating in or out. Good food and service
Great burger and shake joint, they also serve breakfast
Love this place. Went just after they closed and one of the employees “snuck” out a scoop for my son anyway. We will def be back (during business hours).
Excellent food, ice cream, and service.
Friendly staff: Great breakfast menu. Good food.
Family owned, old fashioned soda fountain feel, with great food and equally great service. Excellent shakes!
They arent just Tillamook anymore, which means that they have Umpqua peppermint year-round (hooray! It is NOT just for Christmas!)I have no idea why people stand in line for Salt & Straw across the street while this place is open.
Big portions and great shakes.
Pretty nice place to get ice cream and root beer floats. They also have decent food and a small outdoor seating area.
Excellent choices and love the loaded tots!
Delicious! All American food, great overall flavor with the lettuce crisp and fresh. Perfect for Christmas Eve.
The owner or manager of this place is great.
Took way to long to get our meal. The quality of the food did not compare to the price.
This restaurant is absolutely one of the coolest place in the area. Every time I come there I am very pleased. They manage their very high standard service and the topmost level of cooking they serve. You always win with this place. Warmly recommended.
Nice homey diner feel and great food
Love their traditional ice cream and diner style food. The girls there are always friendly and not stingy with the single scoop
Food gooddudes niceboys prettyyeah
9.50 for three pancakes no eggs butter syrup would have gone to McDonald’s and got the same thing for 3 bucks.
Extremely satisfying dining experience from start to finish. Thank you all at Lake Oswego!
Good food. Ice cream is excellent.
[Edit 12/2019: I meant to edit this sooner, sorry! I am changing this from a one-star review to a three-star review. The owner of the store emailed me after I posted my review to investigate, and were very kind, patient, and sincere. I appreciate that they did their best to mend my experience.]For $7, the root beer float is a straight rip-off. My 16oz cup was only 2/3 full and there was one small scoop of ice-cream. I returned immediately and asked for more soda when I saw how low the cup was. For the amount it cost I fully expected more soda and two scoops of ice-cream. Extremely disappointed.
Best breakfast in LO. Super crispy delicious hash browns and great coffee. their salsa is amazing too. Looking forward to trying more of their breakfast items! Now open for limited seating.
Went to try this place out on new years eve. Great customer service, great food. Our son thought it was the biggest chicken sandwich ever! Per his request we are giving this place two thumbs up, 5 stars
The ice cream is Tillamook and Umpqua.There ice-cream are both amazing
Great place, not only for ice cream! They have sandwiches and burgers and more.Its an awesome diner!Love the exceptional location and retro-looking ambience. But as a matter of fact it is a historic place and you find a lot of old pictures of Lake Oswego and Portland inside. Also the big painting on the outside wall is very nice. We were lucky with the weather and sat outside in the spacious patio.
Still a great stop for ice cream. Shorter lines than the competition that recently opened across the street.
Best food and the best icecream in lake Oswego. Also hands down the best and most handsome cooks in the biz!
Great little ice cream shop in downtown Lake Oswego. Their ice creams are amazing. Havent tried one that i didnt like. The staff is great as well. Super friendly and helpful. They actually have pretty good burgers as well. I wouldnt have expected that from an ice creamery but i was totally wrong. Try their burgers and leave room for an ice cream!
I have grown up coming to this restaurant and have a special place in my heart for it but the service here is really not good. Every time I have come here it has taken the staff at least 20 minutes to acknowledge that we’re there. Then it takes at least another 30 minutes for the food to come out. I do understand that the chef is alone however the servers could be better. I think that one of the problems is that all of the staff is under 18 and lack the responsibility to stay on task.
Amazing service!! would rate 10 stars
Service was terrible. Very slow to take our order and bring out food. Other tables that were sat after us got their food before us and the waiter was extremely rude and unprofessional.
Really good ice cream.... And was surprised on the quality of the food.... Not a bad place to stop and get a bite to eat
Great friendly service. Tasty hamburger, fast service. I didnt get the milk shake, everyone else was, and they looked awesome. Looks like I will have to go back just for a milkshake they looked to good. So if you go save room for the whole experience.
We always get great service. The staff is friendly and always willing to accommodate. I appreciate all they do to make us feel welcome.
We love coming here! Our waitress Sage was exceedingly accommodating and did a stellar job! Food was excellent!
Placed an order to go during lunch today, the Guacamole Jack burger. They said it would be about 15 minutes, I went back to work. I returned to get my food, sat there for about 15 more minutes then the counter girl said I accidentally gave your order to doordash..sorry we will get another one for you. I said fine and left again, came back to pick up my lunch ( it has now been 45 minutes). I take my food, open it and take one bite and it is not the food that I had ordered. Sloppy Poor service and an extremely arrogant manager.
Amazing food, amazing milkshakes, amazing service. Everyone is so nice and it reminds me of a 1950s diner, its cute and cozy! My brother and I went every Monday for a year, and only stopped because our Mondays became busy. Definitely check this place out, and I recommend a Maui Wowy/Coconut ice cream mix and Moose Tracks ice cream. Their burgers are phenomenal as well, though! Cant wait to go back.
The burgers and Ice cream here are great!!! Quick service too. Whenever Im in lake Oswego I always try to come in for at least a scoop
I have been coming here for years and it seems the atmosphere has changed. Staff doesnt seem to want to be there or really do any work. Our order took 45 minutes for two burgers. The whole place seems a bit sticky.
It was ok. They didnt have the ice cream I wanted so they substituted it for something different and she still charge me full price. Probably wont ever go back there again.
This place is classic. I’ve gone here since I was a kid and it’s always a good time! Good variety of ice cream flavors, too.
Very very casual. Absolutely wonderful for kids. Almost like a cafeteria. The food is good though. I grew up going here. It is a tradition in this town after every high school event, so skip Friday after the game unless you are into huge crowds of teens. Very good atmosphere for eating with children. Outside and inside seating is available. Get a burger and fries or chicken strips, pair it with a milkshake, if you like a good diner you wont be disappointed.
Great food!
The food was great along with the service. I would definitely recommend this place to go for a good meal.
Love this place. Very nostalgic.Good service good ice cream.
This is a great All American Diner/Ice Cream Parlour experience. The menu is classic American Diner and offers all of the usual selections. The food quality is typical for a diner; nothing to write home about, but satisfying.But the ice cream is excellent and worth a visit just to get a cone or a double scoop. They also make real malteds from scratch, (a treat that has sadly disappeared from most diner menus).Recommended
My son went to this place with his nanny and now he took me. He LOVES there milkshakes and it is a amazing place to go if you just want to chill out. I am not doing 5/5 stars because they close so early!
Excellent! The best highest quality ice cream Ive ever tasted! Superior Customer Service!The Best!
A little piece of the past. Took my grandchildren to this place 3 times on our visit. Great Ice Cream Sodas, wonderful milkshakes. Plus they serve a very nice lunch and dinner. Lovely place and very nice counter staff.
Great food. Nice atmosphere. Convenient downtown location. Only issue was insufficient staff, for busy time. We were not in a hurry, but did detect frustration from other customersWill definitely be back.
Tried the black licorice ice cream which was a black green with very little flavor. Stained my lips, tongue & teeth for a couple of days...and well...wont go into further GI details. One scoop cost $5.25...just shy of highway robbery. Certainly not the quality one associates with Tillammok. Not at all certain the ice cream here is really Tillamook...by the taste of it...I dont think so. The eating area is not exactly clean but the server was delightful.
If youre looking for really good ice cream, this is the place to go. There is a good selection of both classics and newer flavors, all packed by hand. You can buy it by the quart, by the cone, with other sizes in between. It is a little spendy - $10 a quart - but its worth it. They also serve burgers and other lunch items that unfortunately I do not recall since I have never eaten there but Im told everything is really good.
Usually fantastic. Today horrible service and horrible food. Cold clam chowder with grit in it and no bread to make a proper $9.50 grilled cheese.
Better ice cream than salt and straw. I’ve always been a fan of this place and it’s my favorite ice cream I’ve ever had besides in Croatia and Rome. Also I recently learned my great grandpa used to own this building when it was a bank lol. But the burgers are spot on
The awesome overworked understaffed staff were friendly and courteous through the whole process. The product was top drawer, as well
Yummy burgers, delicious malts, and friendly staff. With the exception of the screaming little kids, this is a great place to get a quick bite to eat. Be forewarned though, it does get crowded in the tiny shop.
Great hamburger and icecream shop. There isnt a lot of seating but the locals know it is the place to go.
Really great hamburgers and milkshakes. Worth taking the time to eat here after shopping just across the street. I will definitely be back!
We love this place. More importantly our grandkids love it too. This is our go to place to take the gks for lunch (with ice cream afterwards, of course). They must have a new chef as their food, always good, was a step up from the past. If youre in L.O. try it.
Small space, but the food and service was very good. We loved the atmosphere.
Long time Lake Oswego business serving up Tillamook ice cream treats. Nice selection of flavours and the staff is always amazing friendly and helpful even when really busy.
Ive visited Lake Oswego Ice Creamery twice. Once for breakfast and once for a hot fudge sundae. I was very happy with my food and the pleasant staff both times I visited.
Super yummy licorice ice cream. Fun place.
My uncle was the manger here until management changed. Still feels like home. People are always very welcoming breakfast lunch or dinner here 🍔🍟🍦🥞
The milkshakes are overpriced (7-8 dollars for a fairly small portion) and are very watered down. Consistency of milk. The ice cream is Umpqua, Tillamook, and other common brands, so youre better off just buying it from any store without the massive markup.
Only place in town I can find black licorice ice cream. Besides being a regular ice cream stop, Lake Oswego creamery has a great atmosphere, friendly service, and tasty food.
Best ice cream in town! The food is also great! I got the hamburguer with avocado and bacon, and it was yum!
Small. Cozy. Great variety. Kind of slow service. Ive cream is delicious
We were visiting the area for two weeks and this was my favorite place for breakfast. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly. We also enjoyed the great ice cream. The amount of flavors to choose from was terrific!
Walking into this place feels like a bit of a walk back in time. I feel like there used to be tons of these great diner/ice cream spots around. Now, theyre super hard to find. Its good to know that you can still go out, get a great burger and a milk shake and not have it break the bank.
Only place I could find real black licorice ice cream!!Great food!! Nice people, good service!
Cozy little spot with old school charm.
The service is wonderful, the people are friendly and the food is great. Great hamburgers and the cottage fries are to die for.
Server forgot part of our order. Went there because their website said they had butterscotch icecream, as did their board in the shop and they didnt have it.Food that we ordered was OK. Nothing special even for diner food.
