They have a great mix of classic and specialty flavors. Prices are above average, but I would still consider it competitively reasonable. They do note in several places that their fresh raspberry ice cream is slightly more expensive. Butter Pecan is one of my go-to flavors, so I had to try it. But I'm also pretty fussy about it. There's 2 types of butter pecan. One is the more yellow/buttery flavor, and the other is more beige-colored with more of a butterscotchy flavor. Theirs seems to be more of the latter - still delicious, but not my personal favorite style of that flavor. But any quirky opinions on the butter pecan were blown away with the Black Forest ice cream. Oh my, that was delicious, with the dark sweet cherries and all those chocolate chunks. But beware if you have dental work, the cold chocolate chunks will be rock hard. If you have any concerns, let them melt a little bit, in the cup/cone or in your mouth, before biting into them. A lot of my local friends frequently mention why they enjoy coming here. I can see why.

Anyone who knows me knows I'm a hot dog freak. I'll drive far and wide for a really great hot dog,…read morebut thankfully Jeff & Maria's Ice Cream and Hot Dogs in Groveland is only about five minutes from my house. Just look at these beauties. Perfectly toasted buns, hot dogs with an incredible sear, and flavor that keeps me coming back time and time again. I can't say enough great things about Jeff himself. He runs a fantastic business, always greets everyone with a smile, and has built a tremendous following on social media as well as the local community. The care and attention that goes into every order is obvious. These aren't just hot dogs thrown on a grill. They're cooked with live and pride, and it shows in every bite. On this visit, I was simply driving by when I felt my mouth start to water. Before I knew it, I had pulled in for the Triple Dog Special, and once again it did not disappoint. The buns were perfectly toasted with just the right amount of buttery crispness, the hot dogs had an amazing snap and a beautiful char, and everything was cooked exactly the way I like it.l topped with ketchup, mustard, relish, onions and celery salt. Now don't get me wrong. The Richardson's Ice Cream and Ritchie's slush they serve is absolutely delicious, especially during the heat wave we've been having. But if you ask me to choose between a cone and one of Jeff's hot dogs, I'm taking the hot dogs every single time. I'd happily endure the heat for these any day! If you love hot dogs, or you're looking for some outstanding Richardson's Ice Cream, Jeff & Maria's is a place you need to visit. It's one of my favorite local businesses, and every visit reminds me why I keep coming back. Do yourself a favor and check them out. You won't be disappointed!

Horrible. Was treated beyond badly. Very unfriendly. Will never ever be going back and I intend to tell the community how badly me and my husband were treated. Yelled at by a staff for something so rediculous. Not even being remotely nice to its "visitors" Put some signs up if u do not even want people walking onto your property. Isnt it a public place online that says open until 9pm? If you dont spend money on the two things they have for sale pumpkins and not good tasting donuts dont bother as these people are not nice to the customers. They beyond embarrassed me and my husband and I have never in my entire 40 years been treated as badly as I was today and that is the truth. If I could give no stars I would. Do not even give them your business. read more
