    This is really good handmade ice cream. The place is always crowded on the weekend nights and weeknights during warmer weather. When any kind of food place is crowded, it's usually a good sign. I took one star off because you don't get a lot of quantity for what you pay. The two small ice creams shown in the photos were just shy of $11. For quality, recommended. For value, not so much. But still recommended overall.

    Super cute stop to pick up a birthday surprise for a doggie. For a nominal charge you get a small cup of vanilla ice cream and two dog biscuits. How cute is that! The birthday boy loved every last lick! Of course Buster's sells ice cream for adults.

    If I could give 10 stars, I would. Super, super ice cream. I don't think it gets any better than this. If you live in the area and have never had Brusters, get some. I am seriously considering buying a franchise just to get Brusters close to where I live! Great ice cream, the best!! Free doggie sundaes too!!

    Easy and convenient. They have a drive thru along with a few walk up windows..they have plenty of sitting. I love it but I hate when they take an ice cream away. Last month was chocolate covered pretzels with caramel delicious they don't have it anymore. June is peach, boo. This time I got sea salt caramel toffee, it was very good.

    Probably my best ice cream shoppe here about. Good location on the road less traveled between the house and the Exit 36 shopping/disaster area. The staff here is consistently pleasant, a swell bunch of young people who want to help you to choose wisely. Oh the exuberance of youth! It's a couple of three bucks for a cake cone topped by any of a multitude of flavors prepared on the premises. Want traditional flavors? ...or fruits? ...or chocolates? ...or crazy candied kid stuff? any or all of that can be coned, cupped, sundaed, or otherwise got from the drive-up or walk-up windows. This is more a stand than a shoppe so be aware that besides the overhanging eaves there isn't any cover if the 'brellas are down. Regardless, unless there's weather happening exactly right now turn off your radio, step out of the car and chat for a bit. Be friendly, we're having ice creams.

    Touch this at your own risk!

    Nuclear holocaust? Nooo problem...so long as I have ice cream! I love ice cream. When I'm sick, sad, happy, stressed, relaxed...anywhichway...ice cream makes it better. I don't waste my time and precious calories on bad ice cream. I will pay for good ice cream and you will pay a bit more here, but what you get is fresh, house made, excellent quality, rich heaven in a cup (with sprinkles, thank you!) The double chocolate chunk is rich and creamy w/a choc base and dark choc chunks. The chocolate peanut butter is the perfect balance of sweet and salty, clearly made in smaller batches as you can see and taste the big PB ribbon. Mint choc chip should be called mint choc CHUNK! Seasonal flavors are usually pretty money. Raspberry truffle could be a bit richer (IMO) but the raspberry is pleasant. They give little ones free 'baby cones' in the flavor of their choice and they always include the pups in the fun. If you like a banana split, bring your own naner and get 1/2 off the price! My only complaint is for some reason it always takes forever to get your order. Don't these kids know the dangers of standing between a woman and her ice cream???

For all 3 of us to get ice cream it was about $15 which is actually pretty cheap compared to other ice cream places. The service was great - the employees were helpful when I couldn't decide what to get. I love how they have Italian ice and custard because it's a nice variety. The inside is really spacious and there's nice outside seating. My only complaint is that it wasn't as flavorful as I thought they'd be. My dad got banana custard and we all thought it didn't taste very much like banana. Similarly, my blue raspberry Italian ice could've used more flavor. It was still really good though & I'm sure we'll be back!

This isn't my…read morefavorite shopping center to navigate but Whit's is in an excellent location because it's right next to Bad Daddy's Burger, Jimmy John's, and a massage place. These are all things that can lead to custard afterwards. As always with Whit's, it's delicious. The only problem is I paid $7 for two scoops of ice cream. This was including a $1 tip because it was a high enough price for a tip. However, $7 for two scoops of ice cream is ridiculous. So, I'll just make an adjustment and get one scoop of ice cream from now on. That way, low enough price for no tip necessary and less belly fat. And everything is expensive rn, but that won't last. Unfortunately, deflation always follows hyperinflation, which is worse. But it's only worse for the short term because it allows for an organic economic reset. Then again, the Federal Reserve might intervene once again and we go the route of Japan. I somehow just went from custard to deflation and Japan. Anyway.... One of the owners was operating the register and very friendly. The three key ingredients for success with this kind of business are friendliness, product, and location. They have all three. Therefore, I see success. Definitely recommended.

I wanted to pop in here for 2 reasons #1, I like their hot dogs, and #2, I wanted to take a closer look at the Wiener that Dairi-o uses. We got a 2 hot dog combo, and both dogs were with kraut and mustard. We each grab a dog, I passed on the FF (hate these crinkled boards of non--flavor). This is a very good kraut dog, loaded, really loaded with zesty sauerkraut. The wiener seems about average, probably around 1.6 ounces. Dairi-o's weiner is 100% beef in a natural casing, providing a snap when bitten, and is made to their specifications, they do not purchase a national brand. Like the other newer locations, this is a bright, clean spot up-fitted in retro diner style - open and spacey,plenty of sunlight from the numerous windows. The lot and the drive thru are easily entered, and the lot is spacious.
