High quality ice cream and quality ingredients are definitely good for an occasional treat.

So so good. We've been here a few times now! It certainly does not disappoint. I love all the different flavor options that are available. We have been lucky that each time we have come there has not really been a huge line. The service is really friendly and quick. Can't wait till we're back again soon! read more

This is a great family oriented place and flavors are always fresh. Be prepared to stand on line.

The ice cream flavors were phenomenal. We always saw the long lines outside when we drove by so we assumed it was a good place to check out. They didn't let us down. Will definitely be going back to try more flavors. The staff was also very friendly and very helpful at helping us pick a flavor that we would enjoy. read more

Terribly long wait in line just roasting in the sun. This place needs to pick up the pace.

service is good, albeit very slow with poor line management. ice cream is great. this location needs to add fans to the building, it's extremely hot out usually with very long lines. the owner needs to get with the program and make it more comfortable. read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chester, Virginia

I love this place! We've been coming here since I was little so it's super nostalgic for me. Always super fast service! The blue raspberry slushy is my favorite! It's also not right by the road so it's nice to sit outside during the summer eating refreshing ice cream or a slushy. Definitely recommend this spot for a summer treat! read more

I stopped by to get ice cream. The lines were long, with only two windows open, but it wasn't a horrible wait. I ordered a dish of two scoops, hot fudge, and pecans. The pecans were toasted, which was great, but they were whole, not chopped. It wasn't bad, but I've never had an ice cream shop that doesn't use chopped nuts. Overall, it was a good visit. read more

Here's the inside scoop: Bruster's knows how to shake things up in Chester! After some friends and I had dinner, we were hankering for a cool treat. Fortunately for Bruster's, the other ice cream shops in the area closed way early for a hot and muggy Friday night, so Bruster's got our business! Good for them for winning the Game of Cones! They stayed open later which won them the patronage of MANY Chester residents!! The place was packed! All the windows were open! The scoopers were all friendly, eager, efficient teens and young adults. We were greeted by a bubbly girl named Caroline who whipped up our orders in just a couple minutes. While we waited for our creamy sweets, I noticed that we were among the very few patrons who wore masks. The benches close to the walk up ice cream shop were taped off, but the ones on the lawn were spaced out and available for seating. The people around us weren't 6 ft. apart, and mingled with others in close quarters. I was glad to see the scoopers were all attired in PPE and wiped the counters between customers. The menu was extensive! From sundaes, to shakes, to kids specialty desserts, to sherbet - Bruster's has something for everyone, sans soft serve. I was in the mood for a soft serve swirl, but Wally's closed early (they should extend their hours) so I settled for a scoop of butter pecan which satisfied my sweet and salty disposition! My friend got the Cotton Candy Explosion shake... brain freeze! And my other friend, and fellow Yelper, got a peachy treat! While this isn't my flavorite ice cream place, it hits the spot on a hot day! So add some sprinkles to your life and come chill out at Bruster's serving up a waffle lot of fun!! read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chester, Virginia

Nice find in Chester... We were staying local and needed something to tame our sweet tooth. We could tell from the line that it must be doing something right. I ordered a regular sundae which would be perfect for a hungry person or two people if looking for something to tide you over. You pick the two scoops and one topping. They also do free pup cups for your dogs. Just a small scoop of ice cream with a milk bone on top. They have plenty of outdoor seating, the majority with umbrellas. There is also a sandbox area for the kids to play in as well. read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Banana pudding ice cream and peppermint sundae - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chester, Virginia

Bruster's is just a short drive from the campground at Pocahontas State Park. At first glance, the prices may seem high, but the portion size is huge. A regular sundae is the perfect size for two people to share. Each can pick out their own flavor of ice cream, and you only have to agree on the topping (e.g. hot fudge, butterscotch, caramel, strawberry, pineapple, etc). read more

Nice treat on a hot day! Really good ice cream with lots of flavor choices to choose from. The staff was patient, friendly, and you can try samples if you are curious about one of their flavors. Everything is made to order outside and you would have to park your car in their parking lot and walk up to a window to order. There are limited benches and tables to sit at, but no inside seating. My favorite ice cream to get is their banana split. It has chocolate, strawberries, and vanilla ice cream; topped with fresh bananas, strawberries, and a pretzel stick. The portion is big and very fulfilling. If you bring your own bananas on any Thursday for your ice cream, you pay half off for your ice cream! They have many good promotions. If you bring a child that's less than 40 inches tall and there's a measurement outside of Bruster's too, they will be provided with a free baby cone and ice cream! There's a free doggie sundae; senior over 60 and up can save up to twenty-five cents; they take coupons; and if you download their rewards app, you can earn points and save money! If you have a sweet tooth like me, it's definitely worth getting and treating your family and fur babies! read more

This was the first time i've been to bruster's in years and can definitely say i will be back. Violet took my order and was very quick and professional i ordered a milkshake and she had it out to me very quickly! Again i will definitely be back! read more

I'm hooked! I never knew ice cream could be so good! I have literally been to this place several times a week since I first tried their ice cream 2 months ago. The service is amazing and they have a great seating area that you can sit at and enjoy your treats. Plenty of parking as well and the prices are great. You also get great portions. So far the flavors I have tried are death by chocolate, New York cheesecake, graham central station, banana pudding and sea salt caramel. They didn't disappoint at all! I will definitely keep returning to try some other flavors! read more

Come on! It's delicious ice cream with ever changing options! I had one scoop of Cheese Cake (bottom) and once scoop of Vanilla Black Cherry (Top). Try it and you will love it! We're alway here so that's all I have to say about that. Lol Check them out read more

I'm a regular customer at Bruster's and I just wanted to say this was one of the worst experiences I've had at the ice cream shop. I had a girl with a very strong southern accent and brown hair was very abrupt with me and it was not pleasant. On another note the ice cream was melting dripping down the side. After a few licks I found a brown hair in the scoop very unpleasant and disgusting! read more

Best ice cream EVER! I highly recommend the chocolate peanut butter buckeye flavor! But every flavor I've tried has been excellent! Enjoy!!! read more

Their sea salt caramel and toffee ice cream in a waffle cone was heavenly! For salted caramel ice creams, I like a noticeable saltiness when I first dig in and they deliver that! It's not overwhelming but it's just enough to waken your taste buds. The crunchy toffee was also a delight and I thought it was a perfect pairing for the ice cream. Now this was my first experience here and I can't really vouch for any of their other flavors [there are a lot!] but I highly recommend the sea salt caramel and toffee ice cream! --Service-- The line was very long (20+ people) but it moved quickly because they had two service windows going. The servers seemed quite stressed though and weren't very welcoming as you would expect from an ice cream stand. It may have been because the weather had just warmed up and it was their first big rush of the year. I could tell that they were not trying to be rude but just wanted to keep the line moving which is understandable. Food: 5 Value: 3.5 Service: 3 read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Caramel apple pie. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chester, Virginia

I died and went to heaven in one bite. First time ever here. Always judged the place by the outside colors (weird right). Dropped in when I saw so many folks in line. Decided to see the hype. Tried the Sunday and immediately said a $6 Sunday. The bowl was huge! Whipped ice cream with succulent toppings. Needless to say I need a gym membership to accompany this new Delicacy. Service was amazing, fun patrons while you wait in line as well. Plenty of outdoor seating and lines for you to jump in. They were the Chick-fil-A of ice cream. read more

I took my son here on a Sunday afternoon for ice cream since the weather was beautiful. I have been a fan of Brusters since living in Florida. On this very Sunday, I decided to order a cookie sandwich and it was phenomenal! The cookie sandwich can be shared between two people or split in half to enjoy at a later time. The young lady at the counter offered to make a sandwich using whatever ice cream flavor I desired, but instead I chose to have one of the sandwiches that was already prepared. Tollhouse cookie sandwich has nothing on this Bruster's chocolate cookie ice cream sandwich. It's disappointing that this isn't offered at the other locations. The people here are nice overall. I have interacted with them on several occassions, either at the store or "Grilling on the Green". Thank you for putting the cherry on top of our Sunday! read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - A mouth full of yumness!! Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chester, Virginia

Ice cream is very good and service as well. However, they will not take the coupons this year like they did last year. CRAZY!!! There is only one other in town and if they don't then it's false advertising. But the coupon does say at participating dealers. read more

I have visited this Bruester's regularly. Always received friendly service. I am part of their rewards program. I typically forget to mention it, so I wish they would ask if I part of the program upon ordering. On average, I probably visit them about 6 or 7 times monthly and would like to get rewarded for my visits. read more

I love Brusters -- always have and always will. Hands down best ice cream. I'm sad to be describing how I've now had quite a few uncomfortable experiences. The service overall at this location in Chester is exponentially slower than other locations. They allowed groups of people to gather in the line, collect and begin eating their ice cream near the window in a crows with NO MASKS AT ANY POINT. There is 0 6ft social distance guidelines. They clearly have no regard for the health of their patrons or the orders of local and state officials as well as overburdened healthcare workers. I will go home and enjoy this waffle cone as it will be my last. read more

In our time in the area, we have seen Diary Queen and Heath's depart the area, leaving us with Bruster's. Even they introduced an additional location that has come and gone. Although we frequented the others from time to time, we have mostly been drawn here. In part on selection and in part for convenience. While the variety is not overwhelming, it is sufficient to meet most taste needs. From sherberts, to Italian Ice, to made on the premise ice cream. Although considerably more than Bryer's and other super market ice creams, the best value here is to purchase a quart or gallon of their product. You can even purchase premise made waffle cones to serve yoursrself at home. Of course, they also sell them ready filled. My wife likes the Double Chocolate Chunk and my son the Oreo. I can go either direction, plus some when the mood hits. Recently, I tried their hot fudge sundae recently and it was one of the best hot fudge toppings I've had in a long time! For the 3 of us, the tab is usually around 13 dollars, when we buy individual servings and a tad more for two quarts. Frankly,however, it beats any ice cream option in reasonable proximity to us. read more

I love this ice cream stand because of the unlimited options available. There is plenty of parking and benches with umbrellas to enjoy the outdoors. My favorite is the Peanut Butter Cup Sundae, but then again I can eat a spoonful of peanut butter by itself. If you're in the area, you must stop for a cool down. read more

Really some of the best ice cream in the entire area, especially if you're a fan of the old Breyers style of ice cream. Lots of great flavors, handspun milkshakes, Sundays, you name it. The staff here is super friendly and always makes the experience kind of fun. Highly recommended! read more

Three different evenings I have tried to go here and three times this Bruster's was a bust. The first evening I go only to see them closed over an hour before their posted close time. On the second night I went here I was told by the young man at the counter that they weren't taking any more orders because of some online orders which didn't make much sense to me. My last time coming here I was told they were out of ice cream, it was 6:30 on a Wednesday and I didn't feel like eating waffle cone and spoons. I doubt I'll come back to this place, it is just not worth the drive for me. read more

Love the ice cream but I order a strawberry sundae. I am sorely disappointed when I get home. Ice cream is strawberry not vanilla. No fresh strawberry sauce, no wet nuts ... not what I ordered read more

I went to Bruster's around 4:00 in the afternoon - only one couple with their daughter ahead of me. Three people working there and it took 10 minutes to get to me. Another customer came up 5 minutes AFTER me and someone came out of the back to wait specifically on her - she is a repeat customer and only "allows" this person to wait on her ... WHAT? And on top of that, the clerk apparently didn't wash off the scoop she was using for the banana ice cream as my peach ice cream tasted like banana's. Unbelievable, poor service and a greatly diminished product. read more

I love this place! Ice cream is creamy and they have yummy flavors, my fave is the chocolate coconut.

PLEASE CORRECT ENTRY: Spelled with a "u". Bruster's. Nice litte spot if you prefer to eat outdoors on only order for take-out. Great ice cream. read more

Be there before 9:00 pm - the teens were too busy closing early - in order to hang out with the other teens trespassing on the adjacent property - to assist customers who were at the window at 9:00. 9:03 we were back in the vehicle because they refused to serve us. We like the ice cream there, but there are too many other good ice cream places, so we won't be back here. read more

Great ice cream but definitely go when you have the patience and time to wait. Went around 9 pm on a beautiful Saturday night. Only one person working the window - she was very nice and working as fast as she could but the people waiting were frustrated. There were two other employees in the room with her but appeared to be working on some large order unrelated to any of us in line read more
