"The malts here are not too thick, easy to suck up a straw. We always appreciate a malt presentationt that includes the silver beaker in which it was made. Note the boomerang-pattern Formica on the counter."

"We like the normalcy of a Wiles-Smith sundae. This is the kind of ice cream treat a person could happily enjoy five afternoons a week."
Michael Stern



"The view into the mirror opposite the lunch counter. You can see us sitting on our stools; and in the distant background at the far left, above the customer scratching his head, is Wiles-Smith's stuffed porcupine."
