Never had their ice cream but have been going to breakfast for a few months now and it is lovely. Small staff, but very quick and responsive. Food is great, best dinner in town.

One of the best places to get ice cream in Norwich! Quick service and super delicious ice cream! They have all sorts of sundaes, milkshakes, and desserts. I love getting their banana split - it's huge!

This is a small place but it has a BIG heart. There are four mini booths that seat 2 persons, three full size booths, and one round table that seats 6 persons. Every table was full...and as soon as one opened people were seated within seconds. Some had to wait 5 minutes or so to be seated. It's small...but it's worth the wait. The server was so fast and cheerful. She took care of every table. The food was good. The coffee kept hot. We both ordered the 2 eggs with meat, homefries, and toast. It was well cooked and served hot. Great breakfast. Our bill came to $25. We plan to come back for their famous ice cream. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to a friend.

I stopped in for breakfast with a friend recently. First time at Dusty's for both of us. The dining area was nice and clean, with lots of sunlight coming in. Our food took a bit but it gave us a chance to sit and relax while we talked. The small wait was well worth it. Our food was fantastic. Hot, well-prepared and delicious. We couldn't have been happier. A great addition to the local food scene.

Great detour on our road trip! Hawaiian Luau Sunday for me, grasshopper sunday for the wife, and kids sized cones for the kiddos. Kids size was still sizable!

I had the breakfast wrap today, whoever is cooking in the back is killing it. Good food, service and reasonably priced. Never had a bad meal.
