Rude waitstaff. For at least the 3rd time and last time, I have been amazed by the rudeness of the waitstaff. I don't care how good the ice cream is, I won't go back.

Open year-round, this local institution has satisfied Newtonites' ice cream cravings for generations.. In Short
Ice cream spot first, restaurant second: Cabot's is an area destination for a kid-friendly, old-fashioned ice cream parlor feel. Ice cream concoctions run the gamut from five-scoop sundaes to thick frappes. Unusual parfaits are also available. Food offerings include standard comfort faves like grilled cheese sandwiches, hot dogs and an array of chopped salads. Family-owned for more than three decades, it's a Newton staple where practically every Little League team ends its season.

Rude service. Cabot's has good food, but very bad service. My party has waited 20 minutes to be served after being seated, been treated poorly by rude waitresses who don't seem to want to be there, and then has had to pay a very impersonal and unfriendly cashier. I had always thought that Cabot's was a nice family-friendly breakfast and icecream restaurant, but it seems that only certain types of people or families are served well. This may not happen to everyone, but I wouldn't go there again unless I wanted to be treated in a discriminatory manner.
