Where to Find Burgers and Ice Cream In the Same Place

Saturday, a few friends and I headed over to Watervliet, which is home to one of my favorite hangouts, Mac’s Drive-In.  Mac’s is a great place for all your fast food cravings during the summer.  It was just one of those days when sitting outside was a must, perfect weather.  I grabbed a grilled chicken sandwich with their awesome homemade french fries; they go great with anything there.  For dessert I checked out their soft coffee ice cream and added some sprinkles on top, I’m a fan of the rainbow.

I enjoy going to Mac’s during the summer for some fast food when I don’t feel like cooking, which is most of the time.  It’s nice to have burgers, chicken and ice cream in the same place.  They have over a dozen different ice cream flavors; if you’re a fan of coffee ice cream theirs was delicious.

Mac’s Drive-In is located on 648 Third Avenue in Watervliet.  Their open Monday-Saturday 11 am - 9 pm and Sunday from 4 pm - 9 pm.

What's your favorite summertime food?

Now that Old Man Winter finally seems to be done with us for good, I think it's safe to start talking about summer time foods. The Capital Region has plenty of restaurants that close their doors for the winter and re-open once the snow melts and the weather warms up. Jack's Drive-In (Wynantskill) and P.J.'s BBQ (Saratoga Springs) are two such seasonal local institutions. And don't forget summer is also the time for backyard barbeques and grilling outdoors.

Q103 posted a story on their website a few hours ago that shared their fans' favorite summertime foods. Hamburgers got the most votes, steak came in second and hot dogs trailed as a distant third. I agree with the author...I'm surprised hot dogs didn't garner more votes.

So tell me readers, do you have any favorite summertime foods or restaurants?
