We also picked up some fresh bakery items on the way out! Highly recommend giving them a try!

Like many others we were just passing through and I came across this Ice Cream Shoppe. Being in…read morethe car for about 2 hours - it's time to get out and stretch and get some good ice cream. So many flavors to choose from, there's a ton here, and I asked some of the locals and they all have their favorites. The great thing is they will let you sample whatever your heart desires. So I tried almost all of the scooped ice cream, and then they had ice cream from the machine. Well in the end my dad wanted a strawberry milkshake, she wanted Butter Pecan - which they did not have - so we got her some Caramel Fudge thing and it was really good. Meanwhile I got 3 small scoops of ice cream - all different flavors. But the winner was the Strawberry Milkshake! Wow - I took a sip of my dad's and was like darn I should have gotten that instead of my 3 scoops. So why the hell not? I'm on vacay and won't be back here for a long time, in fact they are closing soon for the season, so I got myself a small strawberry milkshake - and it was awesome! Probably the best damn strawberry milkshake I've ever had! I mean - the last one I recall having was McDonald's I think, and this beats the heck out of that. Awesome ice cream and awesome friendly high energy peppy service here by all the girls who work here very well as a team. It's like a cheer squad in action - they yell out orders and directions and the person goes executes and brings your order. I'd be here every week in the spring and summer if I was around! Really reasonable prices too!

I wasn't all that impressed by the flavor. It was a bit too smoky for my liking and the overall flavor wasn't anything I'd want again. In all honesty, I don't think I will be able to finish it. Given how long they've been in business and the large range of meats they offer, I wouldn't write them off since they most likely have other meats that are terrific. Just not their garlic summer sausage.

When I got there, I asked if I could please use the restroom. She informed me that there restroom was not public. I asked again if I could please use it because I was pregnant and drove a long way, and I really could not finish my shopping because I had to pee so badly. She still wouldn't let me. I ended up leaving with only 2 packages of bacon and 2 canned items, when it was my intention to purchase much more than that. It was an embarrassing experience for myself, and I also feel the owner of this establishment should be embarrassed. I understand the policy of not having a public restroom, but please have a bit of human compassion and make an exception for an emergency. You lost a big sale today.
