I visited this place back in 2022 with my wife and its like stepping back into 50s / 60s. My parents grew up near this place and used to hang out there all the time and so I thought some branded merch might be a fun Christmas gift for them. Their website wasn't set up yet to take online order so I called and they were nice enough to take my order over the phone. One items arrived damaged and when I called them back, they were gracious and apologetic, offering to send another one immediately. Great staff, Great manager and Great restaurant
My dad used to go to the shop when he was 16 and he heard that his class mates had petitioned to keep it open when it was going to close. When he visited from GA, we drove an hr just to visit his old neighborhood and split a sundae. He loved that they still have the old candy counter and the phone booth. The owner walked around and checked on everyone and asked for feedback on his food from people. It was a nice nostalgic moment for my dad. The sundae was amazing.
The new owners did a great job keeping all of the nostalgia that we always loved when going to Hildebrandt’s. It was so nice to see them crowded, even off peak on a Saturday afternoon. Hubby had a B&W malted, meatloaf sandwich and nice crispy onion rings. I had an ice cream soda, burger which was super huge (had to take half home) and hand cut chips. Everything was yummy!
This is historic gem of a restaurant. If I could give this restaurant ten stars I would. I went here for dinner and dessert. I had the steak & mozzarella on grilled garlic bread it was melt in your mouth good. They make their own french fries For dessert I had cookie dough & chocolate with house made chocolate sauce and homemade whipped cream. The portions are generous and the staff goes above and beyond to make your experience memorable. Give this place a visit. Sit at the counter to get the full experience.
Very nostalgic and old fashioned. Wonderful staff gave us some candy for the road. Also check out the old telephone booth !
A classic ice cream parlor that was thankfully saved. My mom bought my ice cream birthday cakes for me there 60 years ago, and the ambiance has magnificently stayed the same. Give yourself a treat, go in, sit at the ice cream bar or get a table, and take a step back in time to home made ice cream, neighborhood good vibes, and friendly service.
Last week was the first time I’ve been in Hildebrandt’s since the new owners and I have to say that I was delighted with my experience. It’s still the restaurant I loved as a kid with subtle updates like decent wine to keep up with the times. The place was clean while maintaining its old fashioned charm and the food was delicious. Our family ordered the tuna melt, the cheeseburger, a caesar salad and scoops of their homemade ice cream for dessert and we were quite pleased with all of it. We’re really happy this landmark restaurant has been saved and is keeping up with tradition! Thank you! We’ll be back.
Loved the retro look. Good food at a good price.
I live in Florida, but whenever I go back to Long Island to visit my family- I make sure we stop here! I have loved this place since I was a little kid. Great place.
My daughter and her girl scout troop had a wonderful experience at Hilderbrandt's! The staff , food and treats were amazing . Definitely coming back for more !
