Huge portions, convenient hours, much parking and polite service. A bit far for anyone not from the area but a great stop if you are around

Loved this little local gem, Can't wait for them to get the flavor burst back up and running!! Looking forward to that! They offer a large variety of flavors, my favorite so far was the Cider Mill... Reminds me of fall and camp fires.

Insanely good ice cream. Huge 'single scoop' of wonderful pistachio on a big sugar cone for under $3 if I recall. Going back soon!

Very creamy soft ice cream. Always a special flavor available. Also have so many hard to decide hard ice cream choices. If that is not enough, there is an endless amount of amazing things they do with their ice cream. Sundaes, parfait, blizzard type flurries, banana splits...and the list goes on. Always busy but wait is minimal. Inside and outside seating. Just yum!

Love these small, local ice cream places! Friendly staff, HUGE selection of choices/flavors/ways to eat. I had the Bee Sting - waffle flakes with vanilla and spicy honey. Yes, spicy honey! And you know what? It works! Great concoction and I will certainly stop by when I'm able again in the future!

On a gal's road trip and in "need" of a treat. Saw this ice cream venue and we "had" to stop. So glad we did. While we waited for someone to service us at the window, we encountered two women seated at a table and asked what they would recommend. One said they didn't know, they were waiting on their order, but did indicate they ordere the upside down banana split. They also offered up for us to be patient as there was only one person working this Sunday. Well, once their orders arrived, my girlfriend and I definitely opted for the same upside down banana split served up on a cup. It was HUGE, and, seriously, we could have (should have) ordered only one between us and shared. It only cost 5 dollars. With soft vanilla and chocolate ice cream, bananas, strawberries, pineapple, and whipped cream (i had them skip the cherry), it was very yummy. And, no, neither of us were able to finish though we gave our best effort.
