Gayle and I buy ours at the Genoa Store as an occasional treat in a dish or by the pint when her Mom comes over for dinner. It can be a little pricey, but it is some of the best ice cream around.

After a FUN filled day up in Tahoe we were on the search for non-dairy ice cream options && came…read moreacross Castle Rock Creamery online. Their website shared they had manyyy non-dairy flavors so we decided to take a little detour on our way home && we're sooo glad we did! I was completelyyy surprised by how extensive their menu was! I chose the Pineapple Upside Down Cake && Blackberry Crumble, while Mike went with the Coffee Crunch && Blackberry Crumble after trying a few flavors. He even said he'll definitelyyy be back for the Black Sesame Fig && Ginger! The owners were incrediblyyy friendly && genuinely passionate about their business. They shared their story telling us every flavor is made in house && even shared about their new South Lake Tahoe location opening soon. As we enjoyed our ice cream we watched them give every customer that walked through the door the same warm, friendly service. Their ice cream shop is clean, inviting && has FUN ice cream decor throughout. Our ice cream was creamy, dreamy && absolutely yummilicious! We highlyyy recommend making the stop && can't wait to come back with our Hobey boy so he can try their pupsicles!

At about 1/2 to 1/3 the milk fat of ice cream, you'll be disappointed at the ice milk taste at this location at least.

So this isn't my first time trying Big Chicken however it's my first time having it at an actual…read morerestaurant in past it has only been on a cruise which didn't disappoint but man! Having it in store is wayyyyyyyyyy better! I did the ultimate combo which comes with onion rings and Mac and cheese on the chicken sandwich and man! This combo is undefeated! The combo just goes! This meal is very filling and super fresh while big chicken is fast food it doesn't feel like it while eating it. The flavor and the freshness leaves you wanting nothing! Along with the meal I had a very refreshing watermelon refresher and it balanced being a juice with being a refresher perfectly! I typically can't do to much juice as it's sweet but this refresher was just that refreshing! Typically at fast food restaurants you get young inexperienced workers and it sometimes shows with their lack of customer service skills not this location had the privilege of connecting with two young ladies that helped us decipher the menu and offered recommendations they were very personable and friendly. The restaurant is new and you can tell but it's very nice I can't remember if they had background music going but if not that's the only thing I would add as it is one of those come and go places but some people sit and talk and some nice tunes or a game on could help. Highly recommend checking it out

The service was great and friendly at the counter, the girl that took my order offered suggestions and feedback. The dining room could have been wiped down as well as fountain drink station; it was sticky. The dining room was warmer than just being outside and it's been hot! Those were my only take aways from this experience. The sandwich itself was good. My kids enjoyed their food, so that's a win for me. I would be open to trying other items on their menu in the future. It's pricier compared to other fast food chicken dining options in the area, but we'll give it another try next time we're in Minden.
