Ice Cream Station

I was disappointed upon hearing the news that Ice Cream Station's predecessor, Chicago Dog & Co, would be shutting down for good last October. A good hot dog makes for a great lunch for me, something just filling enough to fuel the rest of your day but doesn't overwhelm your hunger for a nice dinner. I was delighted to see a new company take over this land space and use it for more Chicago style hot dogs as well as ice cream.A good portion of the menu is carried over from their predecessor, but these are standard Chicago dogs (Chicago Style, Maxwell Street Polish, etc.). For my first visit, I wanted to try one of Ice Cream Station's unique offerings, so I went with the Southern Slaw Dog which consisted of a Vienna Beef dog covered with coleslaw, BBQ sauce, and a pickle spear. The flavors of the slaw and BBQ sauce complimented each other well, and the pickle spear just added to the feel of something you'd get at someone's backyard BBQ. My only complaint was that the brioche bun was a little stiff. I think I'll stick to the steamed poppy seed buns for future visits.There is plenty of parking, but the outdoor only seating might hinder the business during the hot Florida summer months. Hopefully, they will partner with delivery apps to accommodate customers.Speaking of future visits, I definitely plan on returning to check out their takes on the Maxwell Street Polish and Chicago Fire Dogs as well as their namesake ice cream. The service was great at my visit. While I don't doubt other Yelpers who had issues with their service, I do wish to emphasize that this is their first week open, and the company has been very open about them still working out the kinks, so I think it's a bit unfair to give low rankings to a small business still finding their way. I'm rooting for Ice Cream Station, and I sincerely believe they have the potential to fill the shoes that Chicago Dog & Co. left behind. Give this place a shot, Orlando and Altamonte Springs foodies.

We loved our visit!I think it's perfect for this area.Hot dogs, sandwiches and ice cream, what's not to like?!My kids went bananas over the dessert, the Italian sausage was good, kids loved the hot dogs and the crowd favorite was the chili cheese dog.Everyone was super nice!Lots of seating {all outside} and plenty of parking!

Cute outdoor ice cream and hotdog spot! Amazing prices and they give big scoops. Friendly staff as well! Definitely recommend :)

If I could give no stars I would. Definitely isn't comparable to the quality of Chicago Dog. The hot dog had a very weird texture. The chili and the cheese sauce weren't good at all. The Chicago dog was basically a pile of onions. Onion rings are flavorless. And to top it off Pepsi products. This place won't be here long. Good luck.Update: good thing the owner can't delete this because according to Facebook if you post something negative on their page, he will delete the post and block you. Very professional! Not our fault you opened and weren't ready for the critics.

Happy to see this local place and really hoping they thrive. We came tonight for ice cream, they let us sample flavors. I got the one scoop toasted coconut and my bf got the two scoops cookies and cream. The two scoops had two very small scoops while mine had one large scoop. The plastic spoons were awful! They kept bending and were not strong enough for the ice cream. Value is eh, hoping they work on the quality and consistency. Also, very odd to not see any owner or management present within the first few days of opening.

Great food and great staff. Recommend bringing the whole family. They have hot dogs, tenders, fries, ice cream, milkshakes and so much more.

I was happy to see that another Hot Dog place was filling the shoes of Chicago Dog & Co that closed last year, so I was excited to try the new place. I ordered the. Chicago dog with sauerkraut and onion rings. The dog was ok and the onions were chunks not minced. Half on the onions ended up in the tray. The onion rings were cooked to perfection and with every bite I wasn't getting the rest of the onion. My hubs got the Sonora dog and a blueberry cheesecake ice cream. He liked the dog but said the few smattering of beans didn't make sense as an addition. The ice cream team was a strange texture as I watched him twirl it on the spoon like pasta on a fork. He ordered the sonara dog because the slaw dog was unavailable because they had no slaw. There were no corn dogs as they had sold out. The service was ok. The kid who took our order was struggling to pay attention to us to take the order. We sat outside as it was a pleasant spring day. We would try it again. I hope these few hiccups get resolved as we really enjoyed Chicago Dog and need to find a suitable replacement.

As a former Chicago Dog patron & noticing the menu was basically an exact copy of that menu I thought I'd give it a go after having a pineapple Dole whip the week prior. Which was not quite as creamy as I remember Dole whip being, it was a bit more icy, but very good tasting! My wife ordered 2 hot dogs with chopped onions sauerkraut ketchup & mustard. I ordered a Chicago beef sandwich w/plain salted fries & a root beer. Also got a large plain salted fries to share among us. My son had just eaten a backyard burger so all he wanted was a root beer, I also asked for a root beer. Shame on me for not checking before driving home, but when we got home it was all wrong... No sauerkraut on the dogs, my beef sandwich was a Chicago dog, not a sandwich. & the fries were all salted Cajun fries not salted plain fries. The dogs themselves were not bad but my wife does not care for Cajun fries & was missing her sauerkraut on both. Then the root beers had no ice, which is fine if you're going to serve them slushy, borderline slushy, or at a bare minimum ICE COLD, they weren't far from room temp. Sadly, not even close to a decent experience... Not sure if I'll be back. Ever.Also I seriously doubt you'll heed my advice, but don't bother replying to my review because, so far, every one of your replies has included some lame excuse, or a completely USELESS anecdote about "well some other customers said the opposite..." blah blah blah... Just own it, or don't bother apologizing! It's clear you (whoever is writing the replies here) aren't able to process criticism without trying to shift the blame. I wish you guys the best, but with everything becoming more expensive lately, people are starting to get real picky where they spend their money, I'm one of them. One star for not having any hairs, bugs or other foreign non food objects. One star for being fairly quick about it. Minus one star for order accuracy. Minus one star for almost warm root beer. Minus one star for trying to ride Chicago Dog's coat tails & not even attempt at improving what they did, but just trying to copy them & then ultimately not even be AS good.

Terrible customer service, food was mediocre at best. There was hair in my kids food, I left a review on another platform and the owner replied "people have hair all over their body." My response was "I don't want their body hair in my food." His response to that was "your comments are harassment at this point."

Holy smokes this ice cream is amazing ! Chicago dog was This will definitely be an afterschool / baseball game hot spot.
