The exterior of Lago’s Lone Oak is the picture of roadside ice cream stands with long outdoor counters and multiple windows for serving the queued-up masses. Lone Oak also serves a full drive-in menu of hamburgers, great hot dogs, and locally-made draft sodas (from Captain Eli’s of Portland, Maine). Hot dog connoisseurs will appreciate how the cooks place a bed of chopped purple onions in the bun underneath the hot dog for a crunchy surprise.

Our recommendation - Lago's Lone Oak serves ice cream that doesn't meet the standard of a New England creamery.

Trip Report Card
Overall Experience
Chocolate Cherry Chip Ice Cream - The large cherry pieces and chocolate chunks gave this ice cream an appealing appearance that caught us off-guard from its icy taste.
Muddy Sneakers - White Chocolate ice cream with chocolate chips and a caramel swirl - the abundant toppings couldn't make up for the icy texture.
Vanilla Ice Cream - Mild flavor with an icy texture.
Hot Fudge Sauce - Thick, gooey, and commercial-tasting.
