Krisch's

"Such a shame. The place is not what it used to be. We took our granddaughter because of our memories. Food was terrible. Chili had a piece of plastic in it. Fries were overcooked. Not crispy-just burned. Cooking oil must be very old as well. The one or two edible fries had a bad taste. Manager was surprised about the plastic and suggested it might have come out of a dish in the dishwasher. So not just plastic but a dirty bowl also. Server rarely came by. Atmosphere of all the treats is gone. Not sure if they sold or it’s being run by the kids but we won’t be back. Received a response from the owner..."Mistakes Happen...been in business many years..." With that attitude...they will be missed!"

"Went there for lunch. I got a Swiss patty melt and my wife got the Thanksgiving Turkey burger. Both delicious as well as the shakes. A little disappointed we had to pay $5.00 each for French fries! They didn't come with the burgers!"

"So, it was my first time going t’ Krisch’s (I had t’ go try it because a lot of people had recommended the place t’ me) and I was greeted nicely. So I sat down and the food was great. I decided t’ get ice cream and got the Massapequa Special, so I enjoyed that and the total was about $28 (£22) which int bad. So it was a good first experience."

"Extremely busy and loud…not the place to go to if you want to avoid kids. Kids running around amuck. Food was good and ice cream amazing! Edit: not a kid hater…hater of parents who do not discipline children or teach them respect for others, and no not a place for anyone who does not wish to dine in the middle of a playground. I’m a paying customer just as those parents are. I’d rather dine somewhere else. My review is geared to those who do not wish to dine with children running all over the place. I’ve had my own kids and would never let them run around a restaurant out of respect for other diners, staff and their own safety."

"I'd like to leave as honest of a review as possible, highlighting the positives and negatives of my experience at this restaurant. I always out to highlight amazing restaurants and the things they do great, and sometimes not so great. Me and my friend planned a trip to visit this iconic restaurant. We called a week or two in advance to try and schedule a time to come do their food challenges that would be beneficial and not interfere with a possible busy time at the restaurant. We were told we didn't have to do that and could come in at anytime to do their challenges. I had a 3½ hour trip, and his was over 5. I started getting a little bout of food poisoning from a meal the day before. It was very mild so I continued as planned. Upon arriving at the restaurant we weren't greeted very kindly but things improved somewhat as time went on. Although not much attention was given to us by the staff, with very minimal stops by a our waitress. One highlight was, she actually took part of my 2lb Burger patty that was slightly undercooked back to the grill to cook a bit more. Otherwise my Burger was absolutely delicious, from the amazing homemade coleslaw to the loads of fresh vegetables, drenching in Russian Dressing, and the nice soft homemade bun. Eventually my friend completed his burger challenge and I got very close, but my stomach just wasn't having it with how I was feeling. Other patrons were very supportive and helped cheer us on along the way! This was definitely a highlight of the evening. I personally tip on service and not on price of items, so I left $5, as I felt that was fair for the service received. Next evening we returned, andwere told to go back to the same table as before. Before we had a chance to settle in the manager came over & said we're going to have to hurry things up because it's a very busy night. (we tried to avoid this, so a bit rude.) I was feeling 90% better at this point & felt confident with the challenge having beaten bigger ones in the past. Our waitress took our Kitchen Sink orders & started preparing them. With the busyness they actually came out quickly! Through out the challenge patrons were again super into it & cheering us on, & even subscribing to our YouTubes. Many of our friends have completed this already. These Ice Cream Challenge Sundaes/Sinks came out beautifully! Ice Cream, toppings, & homemade Whipped Cream were all amazing! The food at this restaurant is outstanding. 30 minutes in my buddy must have had a physical dairy issue (unaware of) that caused him to reverse his food without warning into his bowl/sink. Our waitress didn't show up very often to check on us. I recall a couple times asking for hot water & napkins, & she brought them. Almost done and at around 57:28 out 60 min, I made the final push to clean my sink and grab my victory! Finished with a few min to spare. Waiting a couple min for someone to confirm I finished. My stomach was not happy (still recovering) I tried my hardest to hold it in, but reversed minimally into the sink silently & covering my face. Owner almost instantly came over & sternly told us customers were complaining about us throwing up & we should go outside. Immediately after that another employee delivered our check, charging us for both! Even though I had eaten it under 60 min & no rule on holding time. Packed up & went to pay based on service, our treatment, & being charged even though I completed it. I only tipped $1, & the owner proceeded to name call & to leave & never come back. They have amazing food, but when it comes to management & whether they should be hosting challenges that sometimes have unfortunate outcomes. No. Owner said to get new hobbies, & we should be embarrassed by ourselves. We did nothing but try to attempt a challenge they offer. Even though I was wronged, I hope the best for the restaurant, but definitely be warned that you could have a issue with management at some point whether with seating or some other issue."
