I liked PP when it was open. It is UNFORTUNATELY CLOSED.

I did not have the chance to eat here since the italian ice machine wasn’t functioning but really enjoyed the great service. My family and I rented rafts from this facility on our way to Kelly Park. Great service. Great price — only $ 1.00 compared to other places that charge $ 5.00. Highly recommended!

This is a great little diner with WONDERFUL ice cream! Just from the looks of the outside I was a little nervous about what I’d find inside but I was pleasantly surprised. This is one of the places that rents tubes for the springs. Inside the place is very small but there are some tables and booths as well as stools at the counter. There is an open kitchen so you watch them cook up your food and an adjacent ice cream counter.
They sell soft serve as well as hand dipped ice cream. I chose strawberry shortcake ice cream in a homemade waffle cone whose end was dipped in chocolate and covered in rainbow sprinkles. It was delicious!
But, I’m getting ahead of myself. We did eat before the ice cream. Everyone at the table got some form of hot dog but the restaurant also offers a variety of sandwiches like pulled pork, gyros and burgers. I got a Chicago dog which tasted good but the dog wasn’t warm enough. Everything else was as it should be for a Chicago dog. My basket came with GREAT homemade curly fires. These were different than curly fries I’d had anywhere else. You could tell by the cut that they were made on site. Excellent.
This would be a great place to stop by after a visit to Wekiva or Kelly Springs. Don’t pass it by just from the look of the outside. At least stop in and get some ice cream!
