The stuff that childhood dreams are made of. For years, moms have been rewarding their kids with a frozen hot chocolate after a long day of shopping is through. If great big ol' burgers and fries are what you're craving or you're in the market for a sundae the size of your head, this is the place to go. Fun, kitchy décor make this place an east side tradition.
