Peter's Polar Parlor: Reviews & Ratings
Great soft ice cream. I always take a trip to Pete's polar parlor when I visit Syracuse!
Cute little icecream stand with fun seasonal flavors and twists. Pictured are the pumpkin and maple twists (with added caramel) and the hot caramel apple sundae. Both delicious. The pumpkin wasn't overly pumpkin-y which I really enjoyed. They had fun and refreshing summer flavors as well. The girls working are always nice and friendly and don't mind my last minute caramel add-on. There are several tables to sit at, some are kiddie-height. A decent parking area as well.
After enjoying a delicious lunch at Cracker Barrel, we figured we should get some dessert. After a bit of googling, we happened upon Peter's Polar Parlor. It's definitely a cute little place. It's kind of in the middle of nowhere but the outdoor, old-school ambiance is worth the trip. I decided to keep it simple by getting a Hot Fudge Sundae with all the fixins. It's a tasty concoction. It doesn't reinvent the wheel or anything but it certainly satisfied my craving for a sundae. I wish the ice cream were a little creamier and the hot fudge sauce a little richer, but those are small complaints for something I enjoyed very much.
Great service, good ice cream. Prices average. On site seating and ample parking. Family favorite for years. ¡¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?????¿!!!???!?????!!!!!!!++(!!????????????????????!??????????????? .n @@##@@@@@#######@@#@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@#@##@@@@@@@@##@##@@@@@##########@@@####@@@@#############zzzzzzzzzzzzzxxxxddddddddddddddddddddddddxdddddddddddddddddddxxxdxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxdxxxxxxdsdddmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmjbggggggggggggvcffffvfcfddssdfgujjhgdzxggddfhkkjfdsdgghsddgffxdxddfffsdddddzdxxxxccgfdddddfggghhbbbbbhhhhhhhhhhbbgbbbbhhhhhhhhhbvvdsdrtghh
I love Pete's! I've been coming here since they first opened. I love their ice cream, sundaes and pies. My favorite go to's here are: the pineapple dole whip, their cookie dough polar storm and their custard when it's in stock. This place gets busy especially during the summer months, but the line always moves quickly. They have lots of windows to order and a lot of employees. I can't wait to come back here soon.
love their ice cream! we love the soft swerve twists and they have this new fall pumpkin vanilla twist which is absolutely delicious. better go get their ice cream one more time before they close for the season!!
Happy to be able to give an excellent review. Clearly it depends on who makes the shakes. Today, Peter himself was there and made me a splendid strawberry and fruit filled shake. Night and day from the last time. Peter is a really nice, interesting and intelligent bloke. We chatted for quite a while. A shame that the business is changing hands. Have to fit as many visits in as I can before a, winter and b, he's gone. Thanks mate.
