    Great selection of flavors - and priced fairly. Make it a stop, even if you don't need gas.

    Great hand dipped ice cream. I wish their hours were extended. They have been a staple in the community for many years.

    We stopped by here for a quick snack while on the way home from Gainesville for the day…read more My wife and I have always loved Powell's Dairy Freeze! Love their milkshakes and all their food items! It has the 50's drive-in feel vibe going on. You park and they walk up to your car and take your order. Or you can get out and walk up to the window. Back in the early 1990's when I was working as a truck driver out of Jacksonville a few times a month I would stop by Powell's for lunch when traveling through Starke. Today we ordered a milkshake. I ordered the Cookies & Cream Milkshake and it was delicious!!!! The waitress was very friendly. It took maybe 5 minutes to get our 4 milkshakes for all of us. * Definitely recommend you stop by Powell's for lunch/dinner/snacks while traveling through the Starke area.

    It is truly such a disappointment when I spend years raving about an establishment to scores of…read moreother foodies just to find out that when I return after a couple years, things have gone completely and utterly downhill. As a high-performing young person in the food industry and retail industry in the past, I usually give young people the benefit of the doubt working in a setting like this one. However, this most recent experience was an absolute sh*tshow from beginning to end. It cannot possibly be that difficult to take an order from the counter or the calculate the price of 3 items. Somehow these team members made it look like it was more difficult than rocket science, and did so at the slowest rate of any burger joint I've ever seen in my entire life. From not being greeted once, to taking 10 minutes to even get to pay, to absolutely no apology for how long it took or even a "thank you" or "have a nice night." I can count on one hand the times I've ever left an establishment without leaving a 20% tip but I've never seen a more deserving group of people to do it to. As for the food - who would've guessed that bagging corn nuggets before getting the burger it took 10 minutes to make would result in a barely warm bag of corn nuggets? More mysterious, however, was how in the world the burger wasn't hot after all that time cooking. Do yourself a favor and walk away if it takes you 3 minutes of standing directly in front of the team members who are at the counter with no greeting. Don't give them the benefit of the doubt, no matter how much you once loved it. I'm grateful for the experience to teach me to stop vouching for small town stops if I haven't been there myself recently. Here's to hoping no one I recommended this place to recently has gone, or that they had a better experience than I did!

    They have grown folks Ice Cream!…read more Perfect little spot for a quick date! I'm so glad I found this place. I had seen it when Ifirst moved here, but I couldn't remember where it was or the name of it. It's funny, I've been so close to it, so many times! I was welcomed in as soon as I stepped in. And it's cold in there! So bring a sweater. I did not expect to see tables and chairs. It's such a cute cozy Ice Cream shop. Grown folks flavors like: The Aviator Nutella ice cream with Biscoff cookies and hazelnuts Raja Honey Jasmine green tea with tangy fresh honey Datil Dark chocolate Ice Cream with Coca nibas ad Datil Pepper (I have no idea what that is) I got the Gillespie's Bourbon Pecan (21+) and the Queen Salted Caramel. The Bourbon, I wasn't expecting it to taste like she added a shot to it. I kid you not, it was smooth and good. That was the best salted Caramel Ice Cream I ever had in my life! You can taste the butter and the Salt! The flavors are strong; they didn't skimp on adding flavor. As you can see, they don't really have basic flavors, if a baby that only likes Vanilla........???? She did say that the Ice cream at Mayday is formulated only for this company. And they did an amazing job.

Ask for a new scooper if you have a more severe allergy/intolerance. The establishment was clean and we were served quickly. Decently and fairly priced!

    I know that all reviews are subjective, and I don't want to ding their rating with fewer stars, so…read moremy review might not match up to the star rating... I'll just get it out of the way... nine dollars for a waffle cone? NINE dollars? Y'all, I'm just too frugal for this place, I guess. Okay, with that out of the way. This place is cute, with probably 20 flavors to choose from, of delicious ice cream from Wisconsin. Feels very country cozy inside (lots of wood and such). You can get a cake cone, a small waffle cone (NOT a sugar cone), or a large waffle cone. Or cups (no lids for the cups). I saw the price of the cones, but I wanted to treat myself, so I got the small waffle cone with Mint Chocolate Chip. The employees were very nice and I had my cone quickly, and I took it to the car (no inside seating). The flavor was perfectly fine, but nothing to write home about. Better than a grocery store ice cream, but it didn't roll my eyes back in my head. The cone felt fresh and hand-made. It was a nice treat. Would I come back? Nah, probably not. But again, this is just my personal opinion!
