Like many others we were just passing through and I came across this Ice Cream Shoppe. Being in…read morethe car for about 2 hours - it's time to get out and stretch and get some good ice cream. So many flavors to choose from, there's a ton here, and I asked some of the locals and they all have their favorites. The great thing is they will let you sample whatever your heart desires. So I tried almost all of the scooped ice cream, and then they had ice cream from the machine. Well in the end my dad wanted a strawberry milkshake, she wanted Butter Pecan - which they did not have - so we got her some Caramel Fudge thing and it was really good. Meanwhile I got 3 small scoops of ice cream - all different flavors. But the winner was the Strawberry Milkshake! Wow - I took a sip of my dad's and was like darn I should have gotten that instead of my 3 scoops. So why the hell not? I'm on vacay and won't be back here for a long time, in fact they are closing soon for the season, so I got myself a small strawberry milkshake - and it was awesome! Probably the best damn strawberry milkshake I've ever had! I mean - the last one I recall having was McDonald's I think, and this beats the heck out of that. Awesome ice cream and awesome friendly high energy peppy service here by all the girls who work here very well as a team. It's like a cheer squad in action - they yell out orders and directions and the person goes executes and brings your order. I'd be here every week in the spring and summer if I was around! Really reasonable prices too!

When we visited, the restaurant seating was closed. Based on the conversations around me, they had not opened it. It seemed like the location was recently opened (or reopened?) and working with limited staff. All in all, we really enjoyed the food. The dough was surprisingly fluffy!

I would order it again. Our server was also super kind, super young, and super social. Really enjoyed the small town feel, arcades in the back for my son to play and redeem in ice cream!! I definitely will return and try other things. Oh yeah the wings were what you would expect, average price...those Broasted chicken though was just spectacular.

The workers here are…read morevery nice and helpful with any questions you may have and the prices here are very good for how much you get! They have a great variety of flavors to choose from and they will load up your bowl or cone with a ton of ice cream. If you get to the bottom of a bin, they will try to empty it out and give you as much as they can so they can open up a new tub of ice cream! My favorite flavors include java chip, cookie dough, & bourbon pecan. They also serve dole whip soft serve and sundaes as well! If you are in town, this shop is a must try during a hot day but they are only open seasonally so keep an eye out on their social media for updated hours!

They've got a nice food menu (website says food is served until 2 pm) a nice drink selection, and froyo with a great selection of toppings.

Our coffee was great, although we'd likely ask for less chocolate in our mochas next time :)
