I've been coming to this place for 30 years and the various different owners have kept it pretty close to what I remember. We came for lunch and had rather expensive sandwiches. They were tasty, but $18 seems a bit much for a lunch sandwich, but that wasn't why we were here.I had a Black & Tan and my son had a Black & White. They were so good I'd pay any price. My wife was jealous of the multi-layered goodness. So give 'em a visit and you won't be disappointed.

Flavorfully ice cream with several sizes. Staff are friendly also.

Customer service is amazing I haven’t been waited on that in a long time. I’m going to say it this ice creamery is better than Fentons ice cream. You will not regret coming here. Perfect for a date night.

Stopped here instead of a major one at SF due to long lines. Glad we found this. The service and ice creams were both great!

What could have been a disaster became an unexpected delight, thanks to a wonderful manager. I tried to call an order in and was still on hold when I arrived. I ordered and then was told they wouldn't accept "old" 100s. I could tell they were busy, but asked for the manager anyway. She immediately apologized for the phone delay, agreed to accept my legal tender, and even gave me an unrequested discount. I was not only listened to, I felt heard. Kudos to Knudsen's.

Love this place. One of the best ice cream sundaes I’ve had till date. I made my own sundae with blueberry cheesecake ice cream and knudens toffee topped with caramel, hot fudge, nuts and cherry and it was out of the world . Also tried their beef chili and it was fresh and very tasty(not from a can). Though it’s a old restaurant it is very nicely maintained and clean. Loved their customer service as well. Definitely recommend this place! Kids would love it. It’s a Must visit !

I use to like their ice cream. However the last time I went there 2\4 I ordered 3 different flavors each in a separate cup. All three tasted stale. Inedible.

Their ice cream are huge and delicious, for your birthday they give a free Sunday !! Great people

Decent typical American food to eat before the ice cream. They have a very large selection of flavors, with a few rotating and seasonal flavors as well. Also offer sundaes, Banana splits and some other ice cream specials. They also have some chocolates and candies they sell as well.
