"A Tin Roof sundae: vanilla ice cream, chocolate (not fudge) syrup, and a surfeit of little redskin Spanish peanuts. The crunch and saltiness of the little nuts contrasted to the creamy-sweet ice cream makes each spoonful a blast of pleasure. There is plenty of chocolate sauce, but chocoholics can order an extra pitcher for $1."
Michael Stern
"In keeping with the kitchen's high standards, this refreshing salad is made with freshly-cut fruit. It comes with hunks of house-made nut bread spread with cream cheese."
Michael Stern
"Sodas are served with an extra little glass of seltzer water to add once you've plowed through some of the ice cream on top. This is a black-and-white: vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup."
Michael Stern
"For $1 extra, you can have your shake or malt made extra luscious. This means the inside of the glass is coated with your choice of marshmallow, caramel, or fudge before the shake is poured in. It looks great when it arrives... (see next photo)"
Michael Stern
"I used my straw to craw an abstract pattern in the fudge that lined the bittersweet chocolate milk shake glass. It reminded me of Etch-A-Sketch, but I had little control over the pattern. I assume artistic proficiency could be attained after experimenting with several hundred extra luscious milk shakes: a task I would enjoy immensely."
Michael Stern
"The 23 Skiddoo parfait, from the bottom: coffee syrup, Kona coffee ice cream, chocolate syrup, walnuts, Dutch chocolate ice cream, whipped cream, and a cherry. Fabulous!"

"There is no earthly reason anyone should come to the Sugar Bowl and get Jell-O instead of ice cream, but we always appreciate seeing the jiggly stuff on a menu."
Michael Stern
"Of course, the lemonade is freshly squeezed."
Michael Stern
"This fine turkey salad sandwich is made from a real roasted bird (you can get sliced turkey, too), and it is available on your choice of white, light or dark rye, whole or cracked wheat, or sourdough."
Michael Stern
"Made with chocolate ice cream, chocolate sauce, and a healthy dose of malt, the Sugar Bowl makes an excellent Dusty Road sundae."
Cliff Strutz
"A whimsical bit of art from the Sugar Bowl's pink menu"
Michael Stern
"You can find this lovely mural in the back corner above the pink booths. "
Cliff Strutz
"When the Sugar Bowl opened, Scottsdale was a dusty suburb. The city has since gone upscale and nearly everything for sale in Old Town is extremely expensive. Not the Sugar Bowl. It is an easy-on-the-wallet treat."
