Flavors change constantly and that's the best part! Trying new creations! They always keep their fab favorites as well! Not a fan of ice cream? They have sherbet! My favorite is their chocolate chip cookie dough in a homemade waffle cone! Yummy!! You can get quarts to take home as well. The Aldi have ice cream cakes; the best ever. Sundaes, milkshakes and more. They have a candy shop in the side but currently closed due to Covid. Cash only however they do have an ATM inside. You must stop here if you are traveling through! You will not be disappointed.

I recommend the smores flavor!

My experience at the Holy Cow was subpar at best. I have a few complaints/tips. My first grievance…read moreis that I showed up at 6:30pm and most flavors were already sold out. Obviously that's no one's fault however, do be sure to show up early if you want many options of ice cream. My second grievance was the speed of service I received. I ordered a root beer float, size regular. I assumed it wouldn't take too long but it was a little busy. Boy, was I wrong. I waited thirty minutes for a worker to scoop four scoops of ice cream into a cup and hand me a root beer on the side. 30 MINUTES. Many people who ordered after me got their food which takes much longer than scooping four scoops of ice cream. Even after asking how long it was going to take to get my food I still had to wait for another ten minutes to finally receive it. The root beer float was good however not worth waiting that long. I'm very disappointed.

I've stopped here several times with my family, most recently with my partner. I will write the…read morereview based off my most recent visit. We visited on a Sunday, so it was understandably busy. That's pretty common for restaurants. One area that could use improvement I will note is the waiting/ host area. It felt somewhat disorganized, and guests seemed unsure where to stand or who was next in line. There was a host stand but no one there when we came in. Servers kept walking past. People were coordinating among themselves to determine the order of queue. Adding clearer signage or having a set host could help create a smoother experience for busy days. The food was average overall. Our waitress was friendly, and offered recommendations despite the busy time. After being seated, there was a wait before our drink order was taken. Honestly while waiting on my drink, I browsed the menu and already was ready to order by time they took our drinks. once that was taken, the food arrived within a reasonable timeframe. The restrooms were the biggest ick of our visit. They had single bathrooms with clear vacancy indicators on the doors with working locks. They were running low on toilet paper, dark, and there was a smell that was similar to a hot, sweaty gas station. On a positive note, plenty of parking with spaces both in front of the restaurant and in a larger lot on the side of the building. Signs to get to there were clear both on the highway exits and near the business. Overall, the experience was okay. I think we would come back for food and sit-down experience. The food was decent and convenient for a road stop, but i would highly suggest cleaning the bathrooms and strengthening the host/waiting area for rushes.

In my continuing efforts to get a hot dog in each county in Virginia, I pulled into the Pink…read moreCadillac Diner for an early lunch on a Thursday in Rockbridge County, Virginia. It was quiet as we walked up but two vans of tourists pulled in right behind us so we quickly got inside and were sat. The vibe of the place was very classic. I especially liked the pink coffee mugs. We had looked at the menu online in advance so we had settled on our order. We got The King, peanut butter, banana, and bacon, Elvis's favorite sandwich with an order of onion rings. With permission from our server we also got a hot dog off of the children's menu with chili, mustard, and cole slaw on the side, with a side of fries. Our food came out quickly. The sandwich was a nice size on really well-toasted bread. I couldn't taste much bacon. The peanut butter and the bananas were the primary flavors. The hot dog was good. The chili was stew-chili and not a classic hot dog chili. The big tomato chunks were the big clue as it was set down in front of me. That being said, we still enjoyed it (we split and shared both). The onion rings were especially good. Our server was really kind and attentive even while she got pulled away to help with the big group that came in after us. I think this place is definitely worth a stop for a bit of nostalgia. I think I'll be back for a ice cream treat!

Our visit was going well until the owner chased me out into the parking lot to say I owed her more…read moremoney for an item I had paid for while she was in the back on the phone and another staff member rang us up. She demanded I give the item back or pay her another $15 as she said she hadn't written the sale price in red on the sticker. It felt like she was saying I had.... like I was trying to steal... I was so taken aback I just gave it back to her and she brought me a $10 bill for it into the parking lot. Strange and embarrassing and she was aggressive about it. Prior to that we had all gotten lunch and enjoyed a delicious meal and wandered around the shop looking at the little knick-knacks for sale on some shelves by the dining seating area. My mom got a chicken salad sandwich on sourdough bread, I had a turkey reuben, my husband had a pastrami reuben and my father-in-law had a chili and grilled cheese. Food was out quickly and it was ALL delicious. I tried the chicken salad and it was some of the best I've ever had. Huge portions and fresh food all homemade (the chili was good). They had some fresh pies and pastries for sale as well - everything looked delicious and fresh and homemade. In the end, I felt so upset that we went back and said I wanted to return the other small item I had purchased, a little bumblebee tea light holder, she asked why and we explained we didn't like how the other issue went down and she sincerely apologized and said she hadn't handled it properly and offered to give it as a gift as a gesture of good will. She was kind and explained she's selling and had taken a phone call in the back and was stressed. I understand and her apology was sincere. I appreciated that. All in all - cute shop, good food, cute items. After we sorted the issue - I'd happily come back. Sounds like it is about to be under new management so not sure how much it will change. Hopefully the chicken salad stays the same! YUM.

I've been to Ransones a few times having grown up in Buchanan since I've visited over the past few…read moreyears but haven't really every purchased anything. The menu is basically burgers and fries and nachos and hot dogs and ice cream. All things delicious to be sure, but not my normal fare. This past weekend however, I was in Buchanan to spend some time with my dad during a weekend trip home and we decided to poke our heads in and have a "snack". We ordered the loaded nachos, carnival fries, and a small side salad for me. The loaded nachos were actually really good - they have ground beef, lettuce, tomato, jalapenos and nacho cheese on them. They were warm and fresh and crispy. My dad devoured them. The carnival fries were amazeballs. I mean, they're the Buchanan carnival fries - need I say more?! Served with a spray bottle for vinegar on the side - YUM. Perfection. The little side salad was fresh and good - sparse - but with really good fresh lettuce, peppers, tomato and onion with crunchy fresh croutons and a choice of dressing. The prices are reasonable - $3-5 for everything and our waitress was adorable and super attentive and friendly. I still didn't get to try a shake here - but maybe one day. Plenty of on-street parking and the inside is decorated like a cute old soda shop complete with the soda fountain bar and a working juke box.

I went ahead with that, and it was both redundant of classic ice cream sandwiches, but also delivered a highly pure dairy flavor typical of quality gelato. I got a Matcha to balance out the sweetness. While it looks a little foamy on top, it was a very strong, almost grass flavored beverage that was appropriate to the circumstance. Some premade grab and go food options may be decent, but did not appeal to my needs at that time.
