    I love the ice cream here. I got to try the thick and chunky ice cream, and I love the texture of the ice cream here. I definitely think that the snickers toppings with the ice cream is my personal favorite. It has such an even amount of toppings, and the ice cream isn't too sweet. The service is very fast, and the line usually gets by relatively quickly.

    the best ice cream in Tampa bar none - SOOOO good. I come here almost weekly. it's so convenient that they have a drive through & the service is quick and friendly. I love you Bo's.

    The ice cream is always amazing! They have real brownies (not the crappy super sweet fake stuff...real brownies!) they have a lot of options and the prices are really good. Sometimes the staff can be a hit or miss but I always bring cash to tip and they appreciate that. The prices are so reasonable make sure you bring an extra $1 or $2 to tip! The ambiance is nostalgic for me, they have benches outside to sit with your pals and enjoy a sundae. Drive thru line can get long but there is plenty of parking on the side if you want to walk up and order at the window!

    We came by to celebrate my in-laws 66th anniversary. They have been coming here for 50 years and have told us many stories of their trips here. We had twist ice cream cups, shakes, dipped cone and sherbet. They were all delicious and brought up all the good memories.

    Thursday 9/12/2024 Found this spot on Reddit while looking for the best ice cream in the area and they were wrong. I got a large cookies n cream shake topped with a brownie for $13. The shake was very disappointing, it tasted like something you could easily get from a spot like Dairy Queen (for possibly cheaper too). It's just mid soft serve & toppings mixed into a mediocre, low quality shake that isn't worthy of $13 but that's just me.

    The ice cream here is amazing! This place has been around for quite some time and I love swinging by anytime I'm in the area. They have a convenient drive thru as well, where you can order right from your car. I got the chocolate/vanilla swirl cone dipped in chocolate and it was delicious. I will definitely be going back for their banana sundae (my friend got it and it looked delicious). This place is super casual with outside seating that could fit 4-8 people. 10/10 recommend

    Such a great neighborhood soft serve spot! They have a drive through but we like to park and walk up. I'll say it's LARGE servings so be hungry!! We love to get the classic dipped cones or the thick n chunky with mix ins! I'd recommend the butterscotch dip with vanilla ice cream Reminds me of an old school Dairy Queen spot and even better. All staff is also energetic, quick and make sure to load you up with napkins!

    Local spot. No indoor seating. Old School Grab and go at the window. They offer the basic 3 flavors of ice cream and you build from that. I ordered a vanilla milkshake with Peanuts, Maraschino Cherries and chocolate chips mixed in and whip cream on top. Absolutely delicious! Loved it! Service was terrific and the price is unbeatable!

    Got the mini thick and chunky brownie ice cream. Expected there to be chunks of brownie in it not whipped with the ice cream. There were chunks in it but they were huge!

    The epitome of a neighborhood ice cream shop! Bo's is a seminole heights staple and serves up all the classics. Soft serve ice cream, rootbeer floats, hot fudge sundaes, banana splits, thick n chunky's (imagine a mcflurry with whatever candy you want mixed into softserve), and more! This shop is always busy and the drive thru line is intimidatingly long; which is how you know it's good. The service is always super quick and the drive thru does move relatively quickly, although I choose to park and order in the front. There are a few benches where you can enjoy your sweet treat! The vanilla soft serve ice cream is my favorite and I don't often stray to other delicacies. I have tried the mnm thick n thunky but found it to have too many mnms. Maybe in the future i'll begin to explore the other menu items but for now the soft serve has my heart! I've seen customers order a variety of things which always look yummy. One thing to note is that the portion sizes are big. I've recommended this spot to many people and will continue to do so!

    There is a very special place in my heart for long standing businesses. I'm glad to see that Bo's has been opened since 1954. Although, I would like some different and possibly unique ice cream flavors, it would take away its identity and make like any other modern ice cream shop. I like how it doesn't look like much has been changed since it first opened. Even the prices do not seem to have changed too much. A small (16oz) Coke and vanilla soft serve float for 4$ is unknown anywhere else. Overall my experience was great. The service was great and my float was delicious and at a great price.

Sitting at the end of a strip mall with little outside to attract attention, this place is a hidden gem!! Fun flavors with quirky names, everything tasted fresh and homemade, and served by the friendliest young man behind the counter. To the owner : You should know whoever the guy behind the counter was on Friday night (I forgot to get his name) deserves a raise. A small crowd was there when we came in and he handled everything like a rock star! Fast, friendly, knowledgeable, he's great! And the ice cream itself? Just as amazing! I got a freshly made waffle cone stuffed with peanut butter ice cream and a "jelly" drizzle over the top, while the lovely Spensyr had a 'Breakfast Sundae' that was an eclectic mix of flavors that combined perfectly ! There isn't a lot of decor or ambiance here, but that's not why you go for ice cream at 10pm.

    D'lited to finally try this place because after some effort with proper spelling to locate this…read moreestablishment on Yelp or google maps I struck gold with some healthy ice cream that is D'lit. Healthy ice cream seems like a misnomer unless of course you are referencing mental health, but yes you heard right that this cream is clocking in at only 50 kcal per 4 O-Zs. Mine was double this, but I also have a sweet tooth and this is something I am working on. Speaking of which, how might they accomplish this skinny appearance? I can tell you it is not by compromising the consistency or quality of the treat. Many over-the-counter or grocery store aisle skinny ice creams. I have tried basically just taste like frozen water and have a very icy consistency. This ice cream however, was almost as thick as custard and as creamy as the best homemade batch coming straight from the dairy farm. One of their secrets to this technique that they could share with me, was the fact that they use fat-free milk, which again was very impressive understanding that usually the higher the fat content of the dairy product the more creamy and rich it becomes. My only con to the ice cream is that as a result of keeping it thin, the sweetness factor is substantially lower than what you would expect from a full body high sugar content dairy treat. This is still though about as good as one could get while still maintaining a low calorie threshold. As I mentioned prior, I do have a significant sweet tooth and so their huge bar of mix ins which include both your typical and your health conscious options was a huge plus for me. I decided to go for the old faithful cookie dough bites. Their cost per mix-in is a little higher than the average market price at about one dollar, but I believe it is well worth it to be able to give you just a little bit more sweetness, which you deserve considering your dessert at baseline is so much less calorically dense than the average. South Tampa is a bit of a drive for me, but the kind service behind the counter willing to allow me to try the selection of rotating weekly flavors was enough to lock me in for a return visit.

    Absolutely delicious for only 50 calories! If you just want an extremely light dessert, this is the…read moreplace to go. They don't have too many flavors, but the place is huge and the service was quick. There are a pretty wide array of toppings. Strawberry is their most fruity flavor.
