Colorado I Scream & Stuff in Poncha Springs

This has to be the first roadside ice cream stand I've seen that serves Pad Thai! The burgers were not good at all (obviously just frozen patties), though they were served on surprisingly good wheat buns. The portion of fries that comes with the burger is rather small. I loved the Thai Iced Tea, it was perfect for a hot day. The lady who runs it was very friendly, so I'd recommend stopping here if you're in the mood for Asian food on your travels.

Vacationing in Colorado, we stopped by this place on our way north from Alamosa. We love little mom and pop places and like to spend our money with local folks. The young man that took our order was kind and personable, but that is where the good stuff ended on this poor excuse for a meal. The sub-par food and small portions were made worse by the extremely expensive prices (considering what we got). My wife ordered the sweat and sour chicken, which was frozen broccoli with frozen chicken nuggets, topped with sweet and sour sauce. She also ordered a side of rangoons, which were obviously straight out of a supermarket frozen food box. My son and I both ordered chicken sandwiches and fries. The fries were just ok. The sandwiches had 4 small strips of chicken breast on a hoagie bun. After seeing the prices, we decided to take our food to go and get our own drinks from the car. The total for our order (sweat & sour chicken, rangoons, 2 chicken sandwiches) was $38.95! One last bit- the restroom is a port-a-john off the parking lot. The place was terrible. Run away. Go to McDonal...

I simply do not understand the positive reviews for this place. Do not be fooled by the charm of its name or the fact it has a wide ranging menu that includes everything from ice cream to burgers to dim sum to Chinese. The ice cream is run of the mill here, I had their green tea ice cream with fudge which wasn't terrible but still tasted like something you could buy at the supermarket and make yourself. However, the food here is AWFUL. I had their beef noodle soup, and the soup was less soup than white sludge with the viscosity of gravy. The beef was hard and tasteless, and it had a green sheen to it that definitely meant it was far from fresh. My wife had their tempura shrimp soup, which came with tempura shrimp directly from the frozen section at any supermarket. My daughter had orange chicken that also tasted like frozen boxed food. To top it off, all these were way overpriced at around $10 per dish. Finally, the customer service was bad too. The woman that took our order was rude and impatient, and seemed very annoyed when we so much as asked a question about the menu. She didn't make the experience any more pleasant. Avoid Colorado I Scream & Stuff at all costs. The ice cream was average, and the customer service and food were both terrible.
