Nicky Doodles

I don’t think people in Upstate New York realize how damn good this place is.
It must be the milk from the cows who graze in the beautiful countryside — but seriously this place is amazing.
Take it from a guy who has had ice cream all over the world.
This place is amazing for the area.
Keep it simple, order their basic ice cream and enjoy.

This place rocks! Located at the south end of the New Hartford Shopping Center, Nicky Doodles is a casual outdoor style fast food and ice cream place, which has separate takeout/​order windows for regular food and ice cream orders. There is also an adjacent open air covered dining area with several picnic tables.
The food menu offerings include burgers, hot dogs (Hoffmann’s), sandwiches, chicken tenders, fried foods, cold salads, and Pepsi fountain drinks. They also offer the Doodle Dumpster with soft drink, which is similar to the «Garbage Plate» and consists of large fry, hot dog, cheese burger, Doodle (meat) sauce, nacho cheese sauce, macaroni salad, & 2 toasted rolls. Combo meals and kid meals are also offered.
The ice cream offerings include hard ice cream (30 flavors), soft serve ice cream/​custard/​yogurt (over 50 flavors), waffle cones/​bowls, traditional sundaes, 28 specialty sundaes, banana splits, flurrys, freezes, shakes, root beer floats, and smoothies.
I stopped at Nicky Doodles for an early dinner on a sunny day. For lunch, I ordered Combo Meal 2: Steak Peppers, Onions, & Cheese Sandwich, Regular Fries & 20 oz Diet Pepsi ($ 7.99 plus tax), which took about 12 minutes to be ready. The steak sub had thin slices of beef with grilled onions & peppers and melted American cheese on a toasted sub roll. The fries (standard) were golden and crisp. After lunch, I ordered a Medium Soft Serve Kahlua Custard Cone ($ 2.73 plus tax), which was dispensed good and tall, a nice refreshing cold dessert after a greasy lunch.
I drove by Nicky Doodles again later in the evening and the place was very busy, a sign that summertime is now in full effect!
