It would be crazy to compare the hard, thick-ass Bruester's chud to the classic smooth 'scream stylings of Carolina Cones. The crazy lighting inside, the train that goes around ceiling, all the 25 cent to $1 machines, and the swinging hook game outside. There's so much to love about this place. And sure, you can get a literal cherry on top, but the proverbial cherry on top are the classic tubes that play outside that make a summer night feel cinematic.

This is such a fun spot for ice cream, especially with kids! They have a huge variety of flavors,…read moreincluding regular ice cream, soft serve, and dairy-free/lactose-free options. I also loved the different cone choices--they made getting ice cream feel a little more special. There are plenty of toppings if you order a sundae or cup, so it's easy to customize. The only downside was that they wouldn't put the dairy-free ice cream into a cone, even though it seemed like it could have easily been transferred since it was already pre packaged in a cup that they scooped. The dairy-free cookies & cream was also a little icy compared to the regular ice cream. Overall, it's a great family-friendly spot to cool off on a hot day. The quarter machines with toys and games, plus the small outdoor merry-go-round for little ones, make it an extra fun stop.

We came to this location to pick up some gooey butter cake concretes this weekend. I've had it…read morebefore, and have loved it from other locations. I didn't find it as good, melted so easily and toppings felt less. I've said it before at other locations, and I'll say it again - you don't see what they are charging you, and you don't get any kind of receipt. It's a deceptive practice as somehow I've been charged $48 for 4 medium concretes. Andy's is expensive, but it's at minimum $8 more than the advertised price with taxes. Was I charged for 5 and only given 4? Was additional fluff added? I'll never know, but I won't be going back to this location.

I will definitely be back soon.

Located in a safe section of town with what could only be described as a semi-challenging drive-thru setup, Bruster's has the best frozen treats in town! What's more is the fairly young staff are surprisingly kind, sprinkled with a bit of southern charm, and while eager to take your order, they're lightening quick! To be fair, I usually draw out these reviews to be "cool" but he's it's ice cream, it should be "short and sweet." So with that said I'll try to portray my X-wifes order (not that I care about her, but rather the curious people reading the reviews), my two kids and of course, me! I would say call me "Chilly Willy" for this review but that's not my nickname and I think I'm rambling here, so on with the show. The X-wife got ice cream, she was unimpressed as with life, end of story. See, how quick that was? Now my two daughters will amp up the enthusiasm here. My oldest got the brownie bites blast with CHOCOLATE ice cream. She loved it and I sampled it. I'm not a huge chocolate fiend like her so I found it overkill. My youngest got the birthday cake waffle cone. She downed that thing before brain-freeze could kick in. I declined on the taste as I had a feeling what it would taste like. Kids will be kids. As for the polar bear of the crew, I really wanted a cherry cheesecake blast. Alas they didn't have the ability to make it like I wanted so I settled on an Oreo blast. It was good, but a slight letdown. If I were in a vacuum and craving an Oreo shake it was the best one could get. I guess I'm just griping b/c the option wasn't there. Overall, this IS the icecream shop in the area; notice I'm still saying ice cream. Bruster's has a friendly staff with a reasonable selection and horrible drive-thru especially in busy times. Most families and I'd wager all kids will love it. Stop on by to sooth the sweet tooth in your mouth, just don't forget to brush the chompers!

You come here for the atmosphere, the history, the old-school soda shop feel, and of course the milkshakes. Is it the best food in town? No. The food is good, but that's not really why people keep coming back. It's the experience that makes this place special. There aren't many places left that have this much character and nostalgia packed into one building. If you're looking for a fun place to take the family, grab a milkshake, and enjoy a piece of Davidson history, The Soda Shop is hard to beat. We're lucky to have it.
