    We were in the St. Elmo's neighborhood for dinner and were excited to see a Clumpies across the street. We were visiting Chattanooga for the weekend and had heard that Clumpies was a Chattanooga favorite. This location is at the base of the incline at Lookout Mountain which is super convenient for those people riding up/down the mountain. We arrived about 5pm and the young ladies behind the counter were very friendly and welcoming. There had approximately 20 ice cream flavors including butter pecan, chocolate, vanilla bean, peppermint patty and strawberry chocolate cheesecake. The young ladies were happy to provide us samples which were served on small metal spoons which was a nice touch. My wife decided on the Myers Lemon Ginger ice cream on a waffle cone. The others in our group ordered two flavors in a dish. We loved our selections and enjoyed them alot, great experience!

    After hiking around Lookout Mountain, it was time for ice cream. Clumpies came highly recommended - we actually tried to go the previous day to the Southside location, but we didn't realize it opened late at 3PM. This day, however, we would not be deterred and dropped by the location next to the Incline. Double ($5.99) - We chose two seasonal flavors for our double - Red-Berry Chocolate Cheesecake and White Chocolate Peppermint Bark. The former was studded with smashed cookies and a delightful fruity berry swirl. There was enough swirl to impart its flavor, but not enough that the ribbon was noticeably icy. The latter has a mild peppermint white chocolate taste and has small pieces of white chocolate, peppermint pieces and bark mixed in. Both were great. The quality of the ice cream base really comes through - it's super creamy and dense with low overrun. The ice cream has no ice crystals whatsoever to speak of and stays intact quite well without melting, showing just how high the quality is. Clumpies sure has some great ice cream! I would definitely visit again next time I'm in Chattanooga.

    Excellent local icecream! I got the London fog which was lavender flavored and very delicious

    Waffle double dip!

    Located right next to the Incline Train ride, Clumpies has a lock on the ice cream business in town! The ice cream is super creamy & flavorful, without being overly sweet. I had a kiddie cup of espresso chocolate chunk, and my cousin had the pumpkin caramel & the espresso chunk. She did say she didn't taste much pumpkin, but it was still good. Friendly service & a clean area rounded out the visit. Great place to grab a scoop while you wait for your ride!

    The staff was super sweet and helpful. And the ice cream was a hit too. We like sitting out by the incline when it's running. Fun place at night too. Great atmosphere.

    Kids cup with Choc chips!

    Fantastic service from Rico who was working when we came by. The employees let the kids each try a flavor and were patient and kind. Love that they use metal spoons for tastings and not plastic. If they would switch to paper cups vs plastic that would be great. Very clean place with plenty of flavors to choose from. They even had 4 dairy free options!

    The place is small, but not crazy crowded on a weekday. They ice cream flavors range from plain to mango tajin sorbet. I can vouch for a delicious dirty monkey (banana and fudge) and parent trap ( peanut butter and Oreos)

    We loved Clumpies! We went there two nights in a row. Very helpful and yummy place. If you need dairy free they have that as well. Bring your dog with you as they have pup cups too.

    Excellent little ice cream shop at the base of the Lookout Mountain Incline, in the St Elmo area. Even with a line out the door, I couldn't resist stopping in for a cone. Unique selection of flavors, with several seasonal options available. Espresso chip in a sugar cone for me, please. Delicious! Packaged ice cream available, as well. Fairly clean shop, even late on busy Saturday afternoon. Friendly and efficient staff. Definitely worth stopping in when you're ready for ice cream or a shake.

    My dog got an ice cream and loved it
    Lauren O.

    Returned here and it was just as great as before. More unique flavor options. This time I got Nutella crunch. They have dog sundaes with peanut butter but they were out so they gave my dog some vanilla ice cream.

    Super good ice cream. Lots of choices. Only negative would be parking but once I realized that parking was in back, problem was solved.

    Not ADA accessible. My daughter was very sad she couldn't get ice cream. This is not okay.

    Really small, they were out of pretty much every flavor and the workers were super rude. Definitely don't recommend this ice cream shop.

No. The quality of the pizza is really good compared to the price that you'll pay. I think it's a bargain. Especially considering you're right in the middle of Saint Elmo. I even liked their chicken wings. It's hard to find chicken wings that aren't breaded and what you get. Here is really honest food. They even have ice cream so you can complete the family adventure. It's a fairly clean place, although I will say that they lose a star because we had to clean our own table before we could even sit down. Everything here is pretty much self-serve, other than the fact they bring your order to the table after you order at the counter. Parking is super tight, but there is a parking lot within walking distance. And it's right across the street from the incline railway. Overall, I'm glad I came here and we will probably be back. It's kind of an iconic place in Chattanooga and it's worth a trip.

I wasn't even expecting to get anything. When I walked in though, I tried a spoon of the key lime flavor they had at the time. I expected it to taste like key-lime-flavored-ice-cream but it tasted like a scoop full of key lime PIE The texture even felt like pie because there were delicious hunks of graham crust inside. I was converted. BUT, even more importantly, this shop is run by passionate people. The second time we went in was weeks or even a little over a month later and they remembered us. They gave us a pup cup for my boyfriend's dog while he waited outside with him and they were so helpful and patient with me and his mom. We were indecisive and might have been hard to communicate with because we struggled through our decision making process in Spanglish. She was trying in both languages to explain to me what she wanted but my help wasn't needed at all because the people at Scoop got the gist of what flavor she was craving (rum and raisin) and did their best to come up with something adjacent. She loved it! I so appreciate the kind people at Scoop. "Son muy atentos" y "bien nice."

We had our two young girls and they were very understanding and accommodating (high chair and coloring sheets). The menu is interesting but to be honest, we enjoyed almost none of our items. The cocktails were very meh. Not awful but not great. The food is really where this place lacks in my opinion. No one was a fan of almost any dish we got. The puffy tacos with redfish were likely the worst. Under seasoned and close to being gross. The catfish dish was so so. The fish itself was good but the grits were hard and the green tomatoes were so sour that they overpowered everything else. The ribs tried but I'd suggest going to a legit BBQ joint for real meats like this. The potatoes were greasy and mostly bland. I'd rank this our least favorite meal in the city. Interestingly enough. We were just at a Michelin star restaurant less than a week before and had the complete opposite experience.
