I was passing through town on my way home from visiting with relatives on a Sunday afternoon. As I…read moregot close to this location, there were cars parked everywhere and people standing around outside. Of course, I was interested in seeing what all the commotion was about. As I circled around the block I could see that people's vehicles were not just parked in the lot and across the street. They had also parked all the way down the street and around the corner. I recognized the name as a place to get ice cream, and it was a warm day so I decided to stop. They have a drive-thru, a walk-up window, an indoor soda fountain-type seating area, and overflow seating in a large, attached room. I ordered an M&M Twister, which is their version of the DQ Blizzard. It was just as good any other ice cream I've had. I noticed they also serve regular food, and there were people calling in for pickup orders while I waited for my Twister. I would point out that although there were people all around, I was only second in line at the walk-up window. It only took a couple of minutes to get my order, and the 12 ounce "small" Twister I ordered was only $5.00 plus tax. I know I've paid more for less at other ice cream shops. I'll definitely stop in the next time I'm in the area. MaybeI'll try the food there, too. It sure smelled good.

They call themselves "The Biggest Little Ice Cream Shoppe in Prairie City," and they back it up. There is plenty of parking on the property, and they also feature a drive-through. There are options for their patio, booths near the front, and a counter area. We picked the counter and had a GREAT experience. Sandy at the counter was kind to her Golide's rookies and gave us superb recommendations throughout. It was busy but not chaotic. They enjoy a lot of take-out orders, too. I loved my delicious pork tenderloin sandwich, which included crinkle-cut fries. The onions, pickles, and ketchup made it even better! I dipped my fries in their ranch sauce. I enjoyed my partner's potato salad, and her tenderloin strips were darn good. We were full and couldn't enjoy their ice cream, but we checked out their Flavors of the Week for the Spring and will undoubtedly return.
