We map searched for soft serve on a road trip between Indy and Cincy. What a find!! This place is amazing. Less than a mile from the interstate. We walked up and ordered on a sunny afternoon. The menu has everything and then some. The quality of the ice cream was top notch. The strawberry cheesecake sundae "gets better with every bite." The large razzle was so big my 16yr old son had to pace himself to finish it. That also had a remarkable amount of candy in it! And the chocolate dip on the ice cream cone was old school thick and so good! Not a drop of ice cream oozing out of anywhere. Can not recommend this enough! Wish we lived closer so we could go again! read more

My favorite local ice cream! Services and communicate is pretty smoothly!! You can enjoy the view of 44 road lol

Really tasty soft serve and shakes. We had the hot fudge brownie sundae, the s'mores sundae and the chocolate shake. All were excellent. Generous portions. Friendly staff. They have their own parking area, located right at the front of the plaza with the movie theater on 44. A nice patio area outside to sit and eat or you can drive thru. Bring your dog for a free pup cone garnished with a milk bone read more

Their ice cream is rich and creamy and every flavor we've tried have been amazing. I also recommend their Dole whip as well!

The product at Cabell's is excellent. But if you want to patronize this business. PARK AND GO TO THE WALK-UP WINDOW TO ORDER. The drive-up service moved very very slowly. This last visit. Three cars ahead of us at drive-up and we waited 21 minutes to get to the service window. read more

Great service and reasonable prices. Young lady that took our order was friendly and very efficient. The ice cream was really good too! read more

Everything we got was delicious. This is the cutest little shop with outdoor seating! Definitely a MUST STOP SOOO GOOD!

Who doesn't love this place? It's such a wonderful establishment and you can't beat the service there. My wife loves the cowpaccinos and I'm a big lover of the peanut butter and heath bar razzles. You really can't go wrong with anything here. read more

This is one of three places that specialize in ice cream, or I should say frozen custard. Religious based and populated with clean looking young folk, you are garunteed to be met with polite manners. The original opening was late in the year when frozen would describe the people outside. None the less, the business strives in this small town. Drive through or sit down outside. The outside seating offers a view of highway 44 and the Midas across the street. Located beside the Subway and in front of the movie theater. The drive through can be a little difficult when entering from the west side. Plan for a tight 160 degree turn. read more

Excellent ice cream and friendly staff. I'm always willing to go here. I also take others here. The Reece cup razzle is a most try. Tastes just like a Reece's cup in ice cream form. read more

Had a huge banana split here recently and it was great, was about $6, but tasty. This place has been for sale and maybe had different owners the past few years. I am glad it re-opened this year. The owners must be deeply religious as they keep a sign on the side of the building saying trust in Jesus and play church music, which for an ice cream shop I thought to be strange, but to each their own. Guess a lil church music doesn't hurt, ha. Back to the ice cream, the cones are filled and stacked high, seems everything is a big serving, and tastes great. Sadly I forgot to snap a photo of my banana split masterpiece before devouring it, so you will have to wait for a photo or go order one yourself, ha. read more

Loveeeee the ice cream ! Never tried the food but I bet it's good. Definitely can't complain.

I still haven't seen John Wick since my last Cabells review. The girlfriend asked if we could eat ice cream here. I thought about saying NO, just like she did when I wanted to watch John Wick. I couldn't bring myself to do it. Cabells ice cream is just that good. I requested a razzle that wasn't on the menu. I had a banana razzle with graham cracker pieces added. Then of course miss cookie dough, had a cookie dough razzle. read more

Okay right out of the gate, for this visit, the food quality was a rating of 5. The facility appeared clean inside and the employees were super polite. Why am I withholding 2 stars? Well, 1 star is because the building really needs painted! I mean it looks terrible and I almost didn't go previously due to this. I know this does not affect the quality of the food but come on, it is really an eyesore. The rest of the property is kept up pretty good, a paint makeover would make all the difference in the world. I am sure they are losing some business due to this. The other star being withheld is until I try some of their other food. All I have had is an ice cream cone called a Flavor Burst (Tropical Orange Drizzle) and their version of a Flurry called a Razzle (tried the Butterfinger) both which were very good. Also they have some religious slogan's on the building and they play Contemporary Christian Music there, which was rather nice, compared to some music you hear at businesses when young kids are working. I have no problem with them being a religious testimony to the public. I just wanted to mention it. I will update my review after some additional visits... Yelp #51 8.06.16 read more

I'm not a local by any means, so obviously I don't frequent this place -- but the one time I did end up there (in fall of 2011) still stands out to me. A friend and I were in the midst of a road trip, from Milwaukee all the way to Cincinnati. After several hours of driving, she decided she was in the mood for ice cream -- specifically, Dairy Queen. Now, I'm ALWAYS up for ice cream, so I was all, "Sure! Let's!" Unfortunately, it happened to be rather late at night when this craving hit... in Somewhere, Indiana... and when we finally did find a Dairy Queen, it was CLOSED. Gasp! Well, Cabell's happened to be nearby, and it looked to be open (at least, a couple of lights were still on, and a man was bustling about). We asked the man if the business was indeed open; he nicely affirmed, then asked us what we wanted. I don't remember what my friend ordered, but I chose the peanut butter sundae. The man continued to make friendly small talk as he prepared our ice cream and rang up our orders. Somehow we ended up telling him that we were on a road trip, and he even let us know how far we had to go until we hit Cincinnati. It was only after we thanked him and started to head back to the car that I noticed (after glancing at a sign) that the business had actually closed something like 10-15 mnutes earlier. I was already impressed by the man's customer service -- and now I was even more impressed that he still took the time to help us (even though he would've been well within his right to say "sorry" or give us a curt "no" when we asked if he was still open). Plus, the sundae was big and DELICIOUS -- especially the peanut butter! With all due respect to Dairy Queen, I'm glad we ended up at Cabell's; and I would definitely visit again, should I happen to find myself in Shelbyville, Indiana! read more

Very friendly staff. Very good ice cream. It's a little over priced.. also their drive through speakers done work. It would be nice to have that fixed. We visit here a few times a month read more

Super friendly! The owner is great. They load their menu items with toppings. Malts and milkshakes are outstanding. It's soft serve of the best variety. We come as often as possible. My wife loves it more than me! read more

Katie I think her name is, is a fabulous worker! She was very sweet and had an upbeat personality as soon as i came in! Cabells hires some of the best people! RIGHT ON! read more

First off I really want to say the staff goes above and beyond all while being super friendly. I have tried most of the desserts and everything is amazing. I really recommend this ice cream shop if you're in town. read more

Best ice cream & frozen treats ever! The owner/operator goes out of his way to please and serve. He was closing up one night when I came in and he stopped everything to fill my order, including a large, custom order for take home! No need to wait for the county fair to get Dole Pineapple Whip....They carry it all season long. Just be sure to call ahead for operating hours as they seem to change from time to time. Prices are beyond reasonable considering the super high quality and amazing customer service. Simply cannot be beat and I've traveled extensively with the Army and on my own. This family owned & operated ice cream place is the best by a long shot from all my travels. I can't believe it's right here in Shelbyville! read more

This place is great. I stopped in on my way back up to Chicago when I needed to get my oil changed across the street. Owner was there and waited on me. Told me that he always wanted to open an ice cream shop and had been able to do so a couple of years back. He's really a nice guy. I got a small malt and it was plenty big and really good. These are the kind of places people should support. I hope it becomes a local institution and think it easily could be. Very glad I happened to stop in. read more

Nothing special about this little ice-cream stop. I did ask for extra Oreo's in my milk-shake... I was not disappointed at all!

We went out of our way to go to this ice cream place. Outdoor ordering and seating. Ice cream was good but the service was better. A Christian quote on the side building sign was lived up to by the young man serving us. Very friendly and courteous fellow. Building is looking a little worse for wear and need some refreshing. (Paint peeling off the walls and the signs are sun faded). They have some food on the menu but didn't look to appealing. We were there for the ice cream anyway. Again for the ice cream it was good but I wouldn't go out of my way in the future to try again read more

Yummy Ice cream!! Out door seating and friendly staff. Love this place.

Loved this place! A true old-time, walk up window, great quality place with polite service. Right off the highway- a good stop!

Cabells is tops. I'm a local and my friends and I many times will avoid other ice cream joints specifically to reward the owner here at Cabells who is committed to customer service. In addition his product is fabulous! Go, support the local owner, and enjoy your cool treat. read more

My fiance and I were driving from kentucky to Wisconsin and we saw this on here and stopped. The owner helped us and he was super friendly and polite. The ice cream is tasty soft serve. He has a plethora of sundaes and such also :) read more
