Old school joint for sure. Great burgers, BEST chili dogs I've ever had! Love the ice cream too. The people who work there are always friendly. the only drawback is that they're closed on Sundays and in the Winter. EDIT- in 2013 they will have Sunday hours!

Phenomenal service, great great food and ice cream that I will put up there with some of the best I have had. New owners and I wish them the best of luck. I will definitely be returning often for some great food, great times with great friends!
(5)Amanda H.
LOVE this place! Very fresh ingredients, service with a smile, and the new owners are carrying on the legacy of a neighborhood landmark. My family has been going there for generations and I look forward to continuing going with my kids. Get out with your friends and family and enjoy some grub, ice cream, and support a fabulous local business.

A corner shack that serves food and ice cream. It is small and outdoor seating or take out is the only option. There are not really any good places to sit, a couple of small tables on either side of the business. It is hard to get in and out with a busy intersection. I only had ice cream so that is all I can comment on. They were fast and friendly. The ice cream was made to order from their selections. Three sundaes and one cone was what we ordered. The ice cream was fresh and both hard and soft serve were available. A variety of cones like waffle, pretzel and sugar. Hard ice cream selection is small. Variety of toppings are also available for sundaes. Food is typical hamburgers, hot dogs, cheese steaks, etc. From the menu several good combos are offered,

The ice cream is great here but the big surprise is that their cheese steak is perhaps the best I have had anywhere and that includes down town. It's nice that they finally accept credit cards but they should be open on Sunday's
(5)Ron P.
2015 is the best so far for Jack Frost. Great burgers and dogs and of course awesome ice cream and shakes. Love the sliders too! Staff is very friendly and always working hard.
(5)Mary A.
Nice little corner place that serves good burgers and yummy ice cream..a nice walk for our family on a warm summer night!

This is going to be one of those gushy reviews. I'm just too excited that Glenside has an old-fashioned burger and ice cream joint. I want Jack Frost to do good business so it can be my go-to place to show off to visitors and grab a cheap burger on a Friday night after a long week of work. Some day, I want to walk here with my kids to celebrate their grades or whatever. Jack Frost re-opened last year sometime. My husband and I kept meaning to hit it up, since it's in walking distance from our home, but we missed our chance and then they were closed for the winter. Recently, they opened their doors for the Spring. We went last weekend, on Friday, and again on Saturday. The prices are all very low. The burgers range from $3.50 to $5. I ordered a cheeseburger deluxe and we split cheese fries on Friday night. The fries were sublime, and I'm not a french fry person. They are fresh cut and taste exactly like you'd expect a very good fry to taste. My burger was just okay. It was actually burnt and my husband's burger was cooked perfectly, so I was a bit jealous of that. But I'll give them another go for a burger. The following night, we walked with our neighbors and a friend. I got the chicken sandwich which was pretty bland, but healthier than a burger. I also had a bite of my husband's chili dog which was pretty yummy. Then, we got dessert for the first time. I had a soft serve chocolate-vanilla twist with chocolate jimmies on a cone. The ice cream was nice; the jimmies were not the best. I expect chocolate jimmies to taste like chocolate but these tasted like wax. You don't want to eat wax, do ya, mister? I want to try their hard ice cream next... definitely going to make this our go-to spot for summer Fridays. Who needs to cook out when you can order grilled burgers and dogs for these prices?
(5)Jaime B.
Food and ice cream still top notch! The new staff are super friendly and very helpful. Can't wait for the warmer weather to arrive so I can stop by for one of their amazing milkshakes! great place for the whole family!
(5)Jeff H.
This is the kind of independent eating place that I hope survives. It brings to mind what I think a lot of roadside stands off the highways of Southern California must be like. Jack Frost is not however on a major highway so it depends on its neighbors from Glenside and Edge Hill to support it. And fortunately they do. I ordered the 59th Street Hot Dog which comes with cheese whiz, bacon, bbq sauce and potato sticks. Not quite as good as some other hot dog specialty places in my opinion (I thought too much roll for the size of the hot dog) but tasty enough. And they have homemade bay fries boardwalk style. Don't miss these! Of course they serve all sorts of ice creams and ice cream products as well. Jack Frost is only open 6 months of the year - April through September. Support the Delaware Valley's independent roadside eateries and give Jack Frost a try!
(4)Candace M.
The staff was very friendly and patient as we perused their menu board. The peanut butter cup fudge ice cream in a waffle cone I ordered was delightful and my date enjoyed his custom sundae and said the soft serve was the best he had ever had. What a great first experience at Jack Frost ! This joint also has burgers, fries, and hot dogs that are reasonably priced if your craving something salty to go with your ice cream.
(5)Pourio L.
This is a 3.5/5 stars so I rounded up to 4, which I don't feel bad about because the service was pretty good and the hot dog was delicious (albeit not huge). On the suggestion of other Yelpers and the menu they had there, I had an order of their fresh cut fries with cheese and quite honestly, I found the fries to be just ok. Didn't blow my mind to a million pieces. It definitely tasted fresher than your typical fast food joint but otherwise, it was just ok. My honest opinion is for the best fresh fries, In-N-Out in California is still the best. Fresh and delicious. I don't know how they do it... Anyhow, I had their chili hot dog and that was really good. Chili wasn't overly salty or watery. The texture, consistency, and flavor was just perfect. I do wish that I had ordered fresh chopped onions on top it as well but that's my fault for not doing so. And the hot dog was grilled just right, which for some reason surprised me. I was expected a soft, undercooked hot dog but it was grilled just right with a little bit of a crispy edge. I wonder how well they'd do if they started serving Louisiana-style spicy sausage links. I think it'd do well because I'd be there almost every other day. Anyhow, I would hope with the new ownership, they'd start to specialize in hot dogs because the one that I had, it was cooked just right. There's 3 small tables outside but otherwise, if it's a nice day out, nothing wrong with standing and eating. I do plan on going back and trying out their cheeseburger and maybe get a dessert since most everyone I saw there was getting ice cream and not food, but hey, I was craving a hot dog. They do take credit cards (Visa and MasterCard only). Parking: Small shared lot Price: $7 Wait: 5-7 mins

Just looking for an ice cream cone and came upon this place. Vanilla soft serve was excellent and my son got the cookies n cream regular iced cream - also excellent. This servers were especially friendly.
(5)Susan R.
They open on Sundays now but still close for winter. The best thing is the 59th street dog. It's good with onions and relish or with brown mustard and spicy relish. Icecream was creamy and good too.
(4)Rich S.
Found my summer go to ice-cream spot. Loved my fist black and white shake of the season. Great variety... something for everybody. Cant wait to try the famous Bubba Dog (cheese and bacon), yum!
(5)David B.
Honest and solid food, some of my favorite kinds. Jack Frost does everything well. You're not going to rave about Jack Frost being the greatest thing since sliced sushi (since sliced sushi is clearly better than sliced bread and if you disagree, you need to eat better sushi.) But you will go back time and time again when you need something good on the wallet, better on the eyes, and even better on the stomach. Horrible for the diet though, seriously. Burgers, ice-creams, sandwiches, don't count the calories, or as I like to call them, joy points. It can be difficult to eat outdoors, as they don't offer indoor seating of any kind, because it's right off of limekiln which can get pretty busy and windy. But it's worth it. It can be a bit dissapointing since Jack Frost is closed for part of the year, but when they are open, do yourself a favor and grab a sandwich or burger here, on a hot sunny day, wolf it down, and polish it off with some ice-cream, go home, and take a nap, welcome to the life of a champion.
(4)K T.
Been coming here for years. Just came for the first time this year only to find out it's now under new ownership. The menu has been drastically reduced. No more appetizers, no chicken fingers, no cheesesteaks, only burgers, dogs, and fries. We ordered the burgers and they were excellent as usual fries are ok. The ice cream thankfully hasn't changed. I love their mint chocolate chip. Their drink selection has expanded a little. All in all still good. We do miss the larger menu and will be back but not as much as we used to.
(4)M. B.
Five stars is not about white linen table cloths and ambiance. Five stars are for hitting the nail on the head and that is what Jack Frost, the new management and the new staff has done! The food is delicious made from quality ingredients and cooked to order... perfectly. The ice cream is fantastic and I look forward to many more flavors during future visits. I found this gem for the first time last week while visiting family in the area and plan on stopping at least once (ok twice) every time I am in the area. I only wish I lived closer. If you want fantastic flavor at a great value, served by friendly staff all while enjoying a slice of real Americana... this is your spot.
(5)Tom M.
It's September 30, 2011, the second to last day of the season for Jack Frost. Its always so sad to see them go. They have a great establishment. The food is always great and the staff are always so friendly. Some highlights of Jack Frost I have experiences in 2011: You know what's really awesome there? Try their spicy hot sausage with peppers and onions. Its even better than their regular sausage. Its really spicy but you can't put it down. The hot dogs at Jack Frost are the best in the area. Look at the grill marks on the pictures I just posted. I LOVE their hot dogs. During the summer, I came down with a bad cold. It lasted the better part of a week. One afternoon, I got hungry and decided to go get a Jack Frost hot dog. I ate it and I swear the cold started feeling much better an hour later. I'm not saying Jack Frost hot dogs are cold medicine but it is a weird coincidence, isn't it? Their ice cream is great. The soft serve vanilla is tremendous and reminds me of Carvel back home on Long Island. I've also had their maple walnut and pumpkin. Both are fantastic. I cannot wait for them to re-open in March 2012. If you are anywhere near Glenside from March through September, they are worth getting lunch or dinner there.
(5)Emmelyn C.
First time eating here under the new owners this season and we were curious to see how it would compare. Our order was taken by some kids who seemed to still be getting the hang of things. We ordered our standard cheesesteak with whiz, fried onions and hot peppers, with an order of old bay fries. The cheesesteak was still pretty good, notwithstanding that they put American cheese on it, not whiz as ordered, and they seemed to be putting less meat on them (though the prices have risen). It still tastes like it's made with love and care though (e.g. the roll seems grilled with butter before being filled...yum). The fries themselves were good, though for an extra 50c, you really don't get a lot of old bay flavor at all...such a shame, they used to be our favorite!! I'll probably be back since this is our local. Hoping they can continue to iron out the kinks!
(3)Keli A.
This place is the best!!! The employees are friendly and the place is really clean..its an old school spot and i love that. I had a chocolate shake, burger, and fries. The burger was cooked perfectly and the fries are hand cut. The shake was thick and creamy, hands down best shake I've had in a while. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a good quick meal and friendly service!
(5)Martin B.
I've had been wondering when this place was going to re-open. They re-opened last season and wow it is a dramatic improvement. The hand-dip ice cream is really good. The have a wide variety of hand-dip and soft ice cream, burgers, cheese steaks, and fries. I tried a cheese steak and was pleasantly surpised at how good it was. Everything is made -to-order, so you have to wait for hot items. The prices are good, and the service is always excellent. They have very friendly people working there. I lve in the area and enjoy walking there of an ice cream with the kids. Unfortunately they are not open on Sundays.
(3)Mike D.
For decades, I've wanted to try this calssic-looking ice cream and burger shack and last week, I got the chance. Vanilla soft serve with rainbow sprinkles - a quintessential childhood taste if there every was one. Everything looked great. The first taste was delightful. Every bite thereafter was not. It tastes like the soft serve version of the really cheap vanilla ice cream that comes in massive tubs. It made two of us sick. Never again, sorry.
(2)Bradley S.
Under new ownership this year, quality took a plunge. The prices went up and the soft serve was grainy and left a bad taste in my mouth. I used to go up there from Havertown (45 min drive), not any more.
(1)Ray Y.
Not even worth 1 star. We tried JF for the first time last year and thought they had the best cheese steaks in the area. Under new ownership and the sandwiches are now a long roll sprinkled with steak dust. They didn't make up for it with service either. Staff seemed confused and it took 45 minutes for the order to be done, after being told it would take 15 minutes. We won't be back.
(1)Peter D.
Beware looks like new owners. The homemade chili is gone and replacement is nondescript. I had to step back when the service widow was opened due to strong cigarette smoke coming from inside.
(2)Stephen D.
We've been eating here for years. At one point it was closed for a long while; we were wIring anxiously for it to open again and it did. FYI it closes in the winter; too bad. Also you can't eat in; it is all take out. We like this place. Ice cream is good and finally tried the burger and fries; really great and a ton of fries. Try it; you'll like it.

Old school joint for sure. Great burgers, BEST chili dogs I've ever had! Love the ice cream too. The people who work there are always friendly. the only drawback is that they're closed on Sundays and in the Winter. EDIT- in 2013 they will have Sunday hours!
