A.c. Petersen Drive-in - OLD LYME

Consistently great ice in beautiful location. the children who are the personal are very pleasant. many tables with sunshades to enjoy the picturesque swamps of the old lyme. this is our place for ice in the old lyme east lyme area.

My chocolate chip ice cream sugar cone was simply delicious!! Well worth the $5 price for a small cone. The staff were extremely helpful in describing several other flavors. Sitting under an umbrella outside, with a breeze from Long IslandSound, was an added bonus. My next visit I plan on ordering the clam or lobster roll.

Overrated IMO. $5 for a decent scoop. Spent $9 on a milkshake that tasted like cold milk. These are basically NYC prices. Cashier was pretty unapologetic about our issues w the milkshake. I?m not from CT but there?s gotta be something better around here.

Great food but don?t bother with the order to pickup. We ordered at 11:45 and it said pick up 1:02pm. We arrived at 11:59 only to be told it would be fifteen minutes. 30 minutes to make two burgers?? Better off just driving up and ordering.

Not worth the money. I was over charged. I ordered a large sundae. It was a small cup plopped in a larger cup. It was not even full. There was a huge layer or whip cream. I removed whip cream to see very little ice cream. When I asked at the counter one of the girls said oh we do that all the time. It's normal. So it is normal to charge for a large and not fill the cup and place in a larger cup? I was also charged well over the price of the ice cream plus taxes another dollar. If they do that to everyone then they are making extra money plus asking for tips. I didn't think about asking for a receipt because I was paying cash my mistake.
