"Superb hot fudge, crisp roasted nuts with just enough salt, homemade ice cream and buttery caramel sauce. Is Taggarts' turtle sundae the ultimate dessert?"
Michael Stern
"An extreme close-up of the pineapple sauce and chopped pecans, swirled with melting ice cream, on an old fashioned banana split"
Michael Stern
"Sorry to say, this photo does not do justice to the rainbow of color and flavor that compose the banana split beneath all its whipped cream. This is Taggarts' 'old fashioned' version, made with vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream and topped with pineapple, chocolate and cherry toppings"
Michael Stern
"A taste treat from long ago, reminiscent of tea-room fare and ladies lunch: the olive nut sandwich. 'Back by popular demand!' crows the menu."
Michael Stern
"On the menu since the 1930s, the Bittner Special was named for a local grocery store whose driver challenged Taggarts' fountainmen to make him the thickest milk shake ever. It's ice cream and chocolate sauce swirled together and topped with roasted pecans."

"Originally a bicycle repair shop, this building became an ice cream parlor early in the 20th century. Joe Taggart took over the business in 1926 and his recipes for ice cream and toppings never have been changed."
Michael Stern
"The wooden booths are original. Like the rest of the vintage ice cream parlor, they have been restored to their original gleam."

"Taggarts celebrated its 80th birthday in 2006."
