There's a lot of seating and everything is extremely clean and well kept. The owners are incredibly sweet and thoughtful, and you can really feel that welcoming neighborhood vibe when you're there.

Overall, this is an amazing ice cream spot and definitely one I'll keep coming back to. Highly recommend! I do have to say a little on the pricier side for ice cream but it's totally worth it!

This is a great Andy's location. Easily accessible right off Rand Road. The parking lot is a decent…read moresize, but there's a small downside parking. If you're parked along the drive-thru line, it can be hard to get out of the spot with all the cars lined up behind you. Most of the time people are decent letting me back out of my spot, but there's always a few cars who just won't leave an opening. Service is always super fast, no matter how many people are in line or waiting. There's a few benches so seating so you eat there. It's always brightly lit too. I've been there with a long drive thru line where cars are backed up on Rand Rd., but don't let that deter you from going- the car line moves super fast! Just pull up the menu while you wait so you know what you want when an employee walks up to your car to take your order. Speaking of the employees taking your order - they are all super friendly, they have a smile no matter how hot or cold it is outside, and they're so patient waiting for everyone to order. I think they must have a kindness, happy, friendly detector because this Andy's has all the nicest people working here. Even the people at the window and walk up! You see them working it together in harmony inside as they make each order. It is an impressive team, no matter what time of the day we go and how busy it gets! They work like really like their job AND each other (I'm kinda jealous!) The frozen custard is so smooth and creamy. It's perfectly flavored, we get the vanilla and have tried the chocolate which is decently chocolatey! They don't skimp on the toppings either. If anything, hubs says there's sometimes not enough ice cream to balance the amount of toppings. Service is excellent. Frozen custard is excellent. Wait time is great. Definitely a must go for dessert!

"Monica" tried to say they were closed, and yet all the doors were unlocked. We walked in and all the workers went straight to the back as if we hadn't. She tried taking out all the garbage bags after removing us from the store with well over ten minutes left. Understandable had it been 10 pm already, but we showed up during business hours with intention of spending good money. Prices here can get hefty, not very understandable why they weren't ready to conduct business.

Reliable Rainbow Cone location with plenty of parking, plenty of seating, and the flavors that you…read moreexpect. This is a fun experience to try at least once, particularly on a warm day. Service isn't the fastest here, but it's fast enough given the required effort to layer the cone, so you can expect the final product to be a bit slightly melted by the time you order it. The ice cream is high quality and flavorful, regardless of which options you get. My only criticism is that the variation between cones can be noticable at times, where baby, small, and large cones can have similar amounts of ice cream.

They added a little bit of ice to make it perfectly chilled and refreshing. I would absolutely get the horchata again, but I would love to try the frozen bars as well. The price is great and I absolutely recommend it!

I had no idea by looking at the descriptions and from reading the Yelp reviews it looked like you couldn't really go wrong with any of them. I suggested to my son we do a taste test and he was game. We ordered 6 churros, which was all their flavors with the exception of the hazelnut since he has a nut allergy. As for dips we chose the dulce de leche and mexican chocolate ganache. Within the hour they were delivered in a pizza box and smelled so good. Unfortunately, the squirrels smelled them too and ate thru the box within the few minutes it took me to get to the door. While they only got thru some of the box I didn't want to take the chance of rabies so had to order again! This time I was waiting for the grubhub delivery driver (ordered directly thru Yelp) when he arrived. No churros for the squirrels, although there was plenty to go around because they are huge and gorgeous! They all kind of tasted the same to me- and all good! The Berry White (covered with fruity pebbles) was probably the most unique of all the flavors, but for some reason the rest of the fam didn't like it as much. Perhaps too sweet. which I personally never mind. We had the tough job of narrowing it down to 3 flavors so after a lot of taste tasting (and very full bellies) decided on The Jane, The Mau and The Aunt Rose. Both dips were good as well, but between the two we preferred the dulce de leche. My son hasn't been too into the party planning details, but dessert is something he gets excited about so he loved this activity and can't wait to have yummy churros at his party. And I bet they taste even better when they are nice and warm, which may be a reason to eat them at the parlor than get delivered in the future. And if i do make it to the parlor i have my eye on one of their churro ice cream sandwiches that look so delicious!

The other night Wife and I were peckish and in the mood for burger, and the Choo-Choo here was right in front of us! Easy Parking and all, and the booths looked open. This is a historic place, been there for 73 years! And it looks like it-not a pejorative statement at all. It's been very well preserved. Railroads are the theme, here~everywhere you look. Including the working model train circling the counter that actually delivers your food to where you are. Kitschy, unique and most of all...FUN! About the food, Burgers are the focus. Great Smashed never-frozen Beef. Whoever is in the kitchen has the knack to get that crunchy corona around the edge-a hallmark of a perfect smasher, while keeping the rest of the patty nice and juicy. Now I know how this place has survived 73 years. You can get a single or double. They come with lettuce and tomato and pickle on request. Also crinkle-cut fries. You have to ask for onions, which they provide on the side in a small cup. If you want mayo, they'll provide small packets for you to apply on your own. There is a hot dog on the menu, a nice jumbo, but it's nothing special-stick with the burgers. Hand-dipped Ice Cream is also featured with Shakes as well. We saw the counter gals prepping the shake station and they look serious about it. If you have kids, there are a few little antique-but-still-working "Rides". I believe you have to ask for tokens from the counter to use them. Don't be shocked by the bill. This ain't exactly a bargain feed. But you certainly get what you pay for. It's an honest trip back to another time, kinda like Powers Hamburgers in Fort Wayne. And every once in a while the counter staff pulls a rope and a train whistle sounds! An altogether treat-Truly worth 5 stars...

Thumbs up, and I would say a hidden gem of a place, or it's equally possible that I've just been under a rock.
