This place has been here for many many years. Reminiscent of ice cream stores from the 80s and 90s and funnily enough near a Carvel about a mile down the same highway.Ice cream is creamy and rich in favor. Lots of flavor options and ways to have the ice cream from cones to cups to milkshakes to floats and sundaes as well.Staff was friendly. Place can get very busy as wellWill visit again

A family favorite. Every time I visit the area this is our go to for post-dinner deliciousness. Too many flavors to try and all the ones I have tried are incredible ( strawberry cheesecake still #1 though! ). Super quick service even with lines out the door. Highly recommend!

This was an accidental find when we had just moved in the area in 2019. But since then, this is the only place I want to go for ice cream. They have variety of flavors. I simply love Devil’s food cake as seen in picture. I also recently tried their pineapple flavor which was also delicious. My hubby loves Mudpie

Have been coming here for 60 years. Still have to look at all the flavors in the case. And still the family favorite place for ice cream.

Ice cream always fresh, good and the customer service is good. Yesterday, there was one staff member who needed to be mindful of her conversation when customers are inside with their children, especially when using profanity. Other wise I have no complaints.

Love the homemade ice cream! This new warm hot fudge brownie Sunday was amazing! The line might look long at times but the service is soo good that you will not wait long at all. 😍

We enjoyed it very much. The line was somewhat long but the ladies were organized and they took order fast. The portions are large and tasty. They have some benches in the back for customers to sit down and enjoy the ice cream.The only downsides are:No visible menus from outside. You really need to get in a way of people and look through the glass to see what are the choices - they are written on the boards that are inside.Cash only - I never carry cash with me. Luckily I had some $$ left in car - we almost turned around thinking we didn’t have enough. Square would solve it in 2 min.

Everything about the ice cream and shakes and whatever you buy here is fantastic. The only thing to be prepared for is it is such a good place there is often a line. They work quick so the wait isnt long but expect to be in line at least 5 minutes.

Awesome ice cream shop with many many flavors and outdoor tables. Very clean also.

Review №17

Ordered two scoops of two different flavors. The cherry vanilla was yummy but the vanilla fudge one seemed to have freezer burn in it like parts were icy so you can taste the ice crunch... if that makes sense. Added gummy bears to top but had to throw out all of them from being too hard to chew. Very disappointed since thats one of my favorite toppings. Never had this issue anywhere else Ive gone lately. Chances are I will not be returning unless Im super desperate for ice cream and am in the area.

Review №19

Very busy ice cream shop that is open year-round. There are so many choices of hard and soft ice cream, toppings, Italian ices as well as cones and bowls. The shop is clean and the lighting is very bright. There are many cup or cone size choices. While the ice cream choices were eye appealing, the flavor was very underwhelming, milky not creamy and almost tasted sour. Counter staff is friendly and efficient. They also provide wet wipe packets on the counter, to help with sticky fingers. Seemingly overpriced, with strange pricing amounts for some sizes. Payment is CASH ONLY. Parking lot is provided along with picnic tables under shady trees in the back area during warm weather.

I have walked and have been driven to this place once in a while and I can say that the ice cream they serve is great. They have a wide variety, but the cookie dough ice cream is what I choose and it is great. Though I would say it is a bit too overpriced in my opinion for ice cream.

I have been to this establishment on many occasions and always loved the ice cream as well as the service. Today, as I stepped to the line there was a gentleman in front of me waiting on his order, when the young lady handed him his order, I stepped to the window being next in line, this young lady turned her back to me and went and sat on the other side of the cooler, so I rang the bell, she comes to the window and ask can she help me, allowed me to tell her what I wanted only to tell me that I would have to go to the other window to take my order, she just served a customer and saw me waiting. I dont want to use the race card, but as soon as she saw me, her face showed that she didnt want to help me! Im very disappointed in a place that I patronized and thought highly of would have someone so rude working there....

Friendly staff, great taste, and the best prices Ive seen in the area! They have some creative flavors too, which are good for either kids or the young at heart. It was my first time there and the girl on the afternoon shift with dirty blonde hair answered all my questions, which i had several of! I left very satisfied 😊

Review №33

Im not sure if they were a dude or female, but we went last night and my father asked for a sundae. They made the icecream and didnt even include any type of syrup on top, so I asked them to remake it especially if were paying for it. Grant it they didnt upcharge, but if youre asking for a sundae, youd 9.9 times out of ten expect hot fudge, Peanutbutter sauce, or really any type of sauce to be on top. I get yall are popular and are rushing, but if youre gonna make an order get it right or dont make it at all. It was our first time there and we wont be going back there probably again, but it was nice to try I guess.Edit: Just gonna note the dude or female part I mentioned was because normally a written review would wanna note the server or whoever you want to call them and I didnt get their name soo..... And that wasnt the main point of this review where I was trying to get at but ok. Regardless, I appreciate the owners response to clear up about how they make their icecream etc.

All the ice-cream flavors are very good. But my favorite from this place is Banana Split. With the small size, they provide 4 scoops of ice-cream of your choice and lots of toppings on the top. I have tried Banana Split at least 5-6 places, but this is the best of all.

The best ice cream place near and far! A must go to if you are an ice cream lover like me. Theres a good reason theyve been here for 54 years so find out why. The line is always long here during the warmer months so expect to wait, but it is well worth the wait. They dont accept credit so make sure to bring cash.

I have to say that I have not been to this ice cream store since 1970s. I was so excited to know that it is still there and that the reviews are as good as I remember. Life changes but my favorite ice cream store is still rocking on! My favorites were chocolate sandwiches, blueberry and peach hard pack by the quart, so I could enjoy some for the next days craving. Simple things make you happy during this covid pandemic. Mine is knowing my ice cream indulgence is still serving frozen treats. Too bad i cant have a scoop from my San Antonio, Tx home.

For years this place used to be our go-to place, but it has changed! The soft serve is consistently runny to the point you cannot even get back to your car without it melting down your hand; and it is literally tasteless! Whether it is different ownership, different products/ingredients...it is not good...We will not be returning...

Great homemade ice cream. Ive been coming here about 40 years. May have been different owners back then. Used to have cantaloupe and also blueberry ice cream. Wish theyd bring those flavors back. Those flavors settled my stomach, when I was pregnant. I do however, like their Nutella flavor now.

I have been a member to this gym for about 4 years now, and in that time period my every day experience has been the best that it has ever been. The machines get repaired fast, the bathrooms always clean and at the end of the night all the weights are nearly put away for the early morning gym goers. This gym made a huge improvement in my overall lifting experience thanks to the management, staff and personal trainers.

This ice cream was amazing. The pistachio ice cream was out of this world. There are a ton of flavors and options to choose from. There is also a selection of premade ice cream sandwiches so you can pick some up to go. Space inside is really really tight though. Every thing does move very quickly though so you will not be waiting too long.

This place has a huge assortment of flavors and is not very expensive but the quality is unremarkable. Its usually jam packed in there and people love it, probably due to the size of the cups and cones that the Ice cream is served in.

We love stopping here for Ice Cream during the Summer but dont think of them in the Winter assuming theyre closed. We driving by today we saw that they dont close down seasonally. What was even better they were having a Buy One Sundae and get the second one free, what a deal. The Sundae sizes are generous for the price. So there we were enjoying Ice Cream in the Winter, it really good.

Great nostalgic venue for Italian Ice, Soft serve or Ice Cream in a cup or various decorative cones.Lots of flavor choices. Sat in shaded area in back of the parking lot and ate our goodies. Only reason I didnt give 5 stars was due to the slow wait and the somewhat smelly picnic area.
