This used to be a great place to go, but sadly with the new owners they have gone down hill. Prices are up, service is down, and portions are smaller.

Stopped at at Mt. View on a recent visit to East Longmeadow. Nothing but great things to say– the ice cream was smooth and creamy, and the staff was very friendly. Would definitely recommend this to anyone in the area! Perfect for families or date night. Can’t wait to try the food next time we re back in town.

Love coming here, it’s always good. New colorful outdoor seating is a big step up from what it used to be, everything looks and tastes amazing. The indoor atmosphere is a step back in time. Always planning a return trip!

Great place for good hot food or cold ice cream. Courteous people and fast service. The new sign looks great.

Went there for the first time a few days ago. The soft serve black raspberry was great! The service was fast and polite too even though it was busy. I asked for water, thinking I would be happy to pay for a bottle. Instead I got a free cup of ice water! Very happy with the experience.

Service has declined since changing owners. They have 5 girls sitting around doing nothing ignoring customers, you have to get their attention to even be waited on. And when you finally get waited on your order comes out wrong, not once but twice. On a less than busy night attention to orders should be top priority, not flirting with the line cook. I have worked in restaurants for many years, so I understand the stress; however, when there is 1 ticket on the line and no one waiting, mistakes shouldn’t happen, especially not 2 times on the same order. The new owner is bringing shame to a once amazing restaurant.

Great place to go during the warm months Love the quarter pound cheese burger with cajun crinkle cut fries. I’d rather eat here than 5 guys or maxburger. Not many places still have crinkle cut fries which I like the best. Also like the grilled chicken grinder and the fried whole clams

We look forward to Mountain View opening after each long and cold winter. Their soft serve is simple and top notch. It’s a class shop, from the take out windows to the picnic tables. Great place to stop by with the family!

Solid burgers, good soft serve ice cream. Regular fries(aka not the curly fries) were reL good. Friendly, if rush, order taker(outdoor, haven’t tried the indoor seating). Challenges: considering the atmosphere, prices seem a little high and the«coke» or «Pepsi» is actually RC cola(nasty). I ordered both at different times to see if they would correct me or say what it really was(brand), but they didn’t. Outdoor seating leaves a lot to be desired. Benches are in rough shape. Screws sticking out. Very sticky and dirty. Desperate need for a cleaning and repair. Then regular cleaning… There is also poison ivy a foot from the tables, so be careful. I’ll return, but will get take out and bring it home.

I was encouraged by the long line on one of the first warm days of spring. Unfortunately I was confused by how slow moving it was, considering they have only 4 flavors if soft-serve. When we finally got our cones they were disappointing. The black raspberry was not particularly flavorful but the pistachio was so cloyingly fake that my husband threw his cone away after one bite.

Old-school takeout. Good food, great prices. A great place to get a burger or a grinder with some fries and rings, eat at the picnic tables and then get a cone. You can eat inside, but although I have been here a dozen times, I have never even been inside. There are not enough of these places left.

This is just a classic ice cream stop in the middle of Massachusetts. There’s just something about about coming here that makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time — like you’re instantly creating memories for, say, your four-year-old nephew who will one day tell his kids about coming here in the hot summers. The ice cream is SO tasty here. Wouldn’t hesitate to come back next time I travel east.

Something about the hot summer sun makes me crave this place. Is it the fro-yo cone that’s going to melt and drip on me and the already-sticky picnic bench I’m sitting on? Is it the deep-fried everything?(okay, not everything, they have burgers, dogs and a bunch more) As someone who will generally pass on a drop in the fryer, I come here for the chicken finger basket — crispy crunchy, so hot and a big handful of fries. and I can actually get honey at this place to dip them in! Yay! The service, outside counter or inside waitstaff, is nothing special. The picnic benches outside are enjoyed if you can tolerate the bees and/or mosquitos and the dripped, dropped, dried soft-serve on the bench. A classic, though, and a childhood staple. I’m due for a visit… and a twist cone.

A classic in Hampden, all the residents know about this place and go there at least once per season, almost without exception. Formerly known to the town as Sullivan’s(or Sully’s/Snappy’s), was bought by another group about 10 years back. The quality, unfortunately, took a dive soon after. They tend to employ high school kids who are inattentive and spacey; I’ve never found the staff to be especially competent. The food is ok; standard burgers and hot dogs, and assorted fried things. There’s also a sit-down room, but the menu is the same as outside.
