Krisch’s Restaurant & Ice Cream Parlour in Massapequa is a charming throwback to a time when diners were the heart of the neighborhood and dessert meant a trip to the soda fountain. With its retro décor, friendly service, and hearty menu of American comfort food, Krisch’s continues to be a local favorite for families, friends, and anyone craving a taste of simpler times.

Walking into Krisch’s is like stepping into a vintage postcard — booths lined with red leather, checkered floors, and an old-school counter where milkshakes are still made the traditional way. It’s warm, inviting, and full of character, making it just as much about the experience as the food.

The menu offers a wide range of diner staples, but it’s the attention to detail and generous portions that set this place apart. Start with the grilled Reuben or the classic turkey club — both piled high and served with golden fries. For something heartier, the open-faced hot roast beef sandwich or the homemade chicken pot pie are comforting, satisfying choices that never go out of style.

Breakfast is served all day, and the buttermilk pancakes, omelets, and french toast are as filling as they are flavorful. Don’t overlook the daily specials either — they often feature home-cooked classics that rotate throughout the week.

The real highlight, of course, is the dessert. Krisch’s is known for its house-made ice cream, sundaes, and milkshakes, all crafted on-site with rich, creamy texture and nostalgic flavors. The banana split, chocolate egg cream, and hot fudge brownie sundae are local legends for good reason.

While Krisch’s doesn’t serve alcohol, the old-fashioned sodas, floats, and hand-spun milkshakes make the drink menu just as fun. Every visit ends on a sweet note, whether you're indulging in a cone or taking home a pint.

Krisch’s remains a slice of Americana that never tries to be anything other than what it is — timeless, tasty, and full of heart. It’s the kind of place where memories are made over burgers, breakfast, and ice cream, and that’s exactly why people keep coming back.
