Quick Review: Krisch's




Krisch's is an old-fashioned ice cream parlor on Long Island.  They sell chocolates and candy in the front.  Those looked okay.  I don't think I would buy them though.  Krisch's serves diner-style food but is best known for homemade ice cream.  I thought the sundae was pretty good overall.  I had a warm brownie with chocolate-chocolate chip ice cream and peanut butter topping.  I liked the ice cream texture, nice and creamy.  The chips were decent, and not crack-your-tooth hard like the ones at Coldstone (my Dad chipped a tooth on one of those bad boys- true story).  The chocolate flavor could have been stronger.  I find myself unsatisfied with the chocolatey-ness of most ice creams.  Oh well.  I'd say Krisch's is on par or perhaps better than a place like Friendly's.  The hard ice cream is what I would order rather than the soft-serve.  Also, the whipped cream is homemade and very thick.  I liked it.  I tasted the hot fudge as well, but I think I prefer Carvel's hot fudge.  My favorite hot fudge of all time though is the one from the Cheesecake Factory.  Theirs is bittersweet and extremely thick.  The best!
