What People Are Saying About Austin's Old Fashion Ice Cream

The Editor

Citysearch

In Short – Worn and reupholstered booths, efficient servers and low prices make a trip here a time warp to the '50s. The freshly whipped cream billows under a cherry while homemade ice cream oozes over the glass. The ice cream recipes are Austin family originals dating back to the '20s. More than 30 choices are churned out every day, including peach, a seasonal favorite and ginger. Half-gallons, pints and quarts are available for take-home goodness. Food choices include generous sandwiches served with potato chips or rabbit food--celery or carrot sticks--on the side.

Ridiculously Priced

by leautumn

This place is extremely disappointing. Austin's is a diner and yet, my meal there for a burger, fries and a shake was $15.00! Why? The burger was only okay, there was a $1.75 upcharge for french fries instead of chips and they gave me 10...10 fries. The shakes are pretty good, but not for the price, or how long it takes to get them. I ordered all my food at once and was most of the way done with my meal before I even received my shake. This place is just awful. I will never go back. I can get a much better burger someplace else, and cheaper.

  • Pros: Good shakes
  • Cons: Price, Service, Environment...

go somewhere else for better service

by dinis247

you seat yourself, and wait awhile for initial service, after you order you wait quite abit longer. Young servers who are inexperienced in customer service. Food average, anything you can make yourself in the comfort of your own home. I wouldnt go to Austin's unless you want to wait for some so so ice cream.

  • Pros: big selection of ice cream
  • Cons: terrible service

Not worth the trip

by tab555

I had been a loyal customer of Austins since 1974. Even when I moved across the city I traveled to Austins for the food. However, since the move to East Broadway the service and the food has deteriorated. They used to have the best tuna fish available but sadly, no longer. And several times the potato salad had "turned" yet it was still being served. I doubt I will ever venture across town again just to visit Austins and I would be embarrassed to recommend eating there to anyone.

  • Pros: Malts
  • Cons: Service/ quality of food
