| - I like going to Scooter's. It's a summertime fun spot. Everything is made to order and there's typically a lot of people ordering, making your wait even longer, so don't expect your food to come out fast. If you're one of those impatient people whose time is more valuable than others, visit when the lines are shorter. It's a laid back kind of place. Sorry, but don't come if you don't have time.
This is a counter order stand. On busy hot days, there will be two places to order, an outside window for ice cream only and the inside counter for food and ice cream. This helps speed things up for those wanting only ice cream. Inside you will find a couple tables and a wall of seats to relax while waiting for food. There are several picnic tables around the small parking lot to eat or you can do take out. These are the only options. It's not a restaurant.
The ordering line moves pretty quick and the staff are usually pretty friendly and happy to help you. They have some great things going on and some things that could be better.
The ice cream is always good and priced very reasonably. There's a huge selection of flavors. The burgers are ok. The toppings are fresh. The buns have too much bread. I don't like the dense kaiser roll they use and would prefer a soft bun. It over powers the single patty burgers. The meat is average quality, not bad, but could use some seasonings and is sometimes over cooked. My son says the hot dogs are always good. I'll have to try one at some point. The combinations of toppings are broad, lots of options. The fries come in very generous portions. I am a huge fan of fries and I wish these were better because they easily could be! They kinda ruin a good thing here. They fresh cut their own potatoes. For the size cut they use, they way over cook the potato. This makes me want to cry. It doesn't even taste like a fry as much as a chip. Then, they don't put any seasoning on them out of the fryer. By the time I get them, the salt doesn't stick as the potatoes are overly crispy. It's hard to believe they mess up something so simple and with all those boxes of fresh potatoes in the side hall, they're sitting on a gold mine if they could learn to make a good fry!
Today we ordered a burger, a double burger, a footlong dog, small fries (huge portion) and two large shakes for $25. Anyhow, definitely it's worth a summer visit if you're close by.
