Andy's is our new favorite go-to when we are wanting something sweet…read more My husband loves their rootbeer freezes and he can't find them anywhere else, so this is a huge bonus point to going to Andy's! I personally love their dirt cups and even though it's technically on the kid's menu section, they make an adult size for me. The staff are always very friendly and quick. We've never had a bad experience coming here. Top tier service! There's a pretty big menu with lots of choices. I like that you can either walk up to the counter and enjoy your icecream at one of the outside tables or go through the drive-thru for a quick stop. Either way, you're guaranteed a good time!

But had we known this was the same thing we can get at The General Store or HWY 41, we probably would have skipped it. That part behind us, the shoppe is charming and the grounds are lovely. My rating is not based on our personal experience (my wife and I agree we probably would give it 3 stars), but honestly, if you're a parent with young children and you want to take them for ice cream, this would be a lovely place to do it. Also, if you come later in the season when the gardens are at full growth, there's a wi derail learning opportunity here as well. So the ice cream experience wasn't the greatest for us...but the grounds, the friendly service, and the delightful setting ultimately made the whole experience quite wonderful.

My friend and I were leaving Downtown Raleigh and wanted dessert and I remembered Little Blue Bakehouse. I'll write a separate review for Little Blue Bakehouse, but it's the perfect little bakery, so many options. We both chose cake from Boozie Bakes. I got home and took a bite of my cake and almost smacked someone. The chocolate peanut butter cake is absolutely amazing. The most moist, decadent cake I've had in a long time. Thank you Ms. Boozie Bakes. I can't wait to try the other flavors.

I would absolutely buy again, just without the wine.

Taste: 4/5 While it wasn't the best lobster roll in the world, it definitely was a pretty good one. My only wish was that the lobster was slightly fresher and that the rolls were not only toasted on the outside but also the inside. Price: 5/5 The cost was $15, a pretty good price for a lobster roll. Overall, I would have given them a 4.5 if I could.

ANOTHER great experience…read more Pizza is superb. Perfect crust, dressed just right with the ideal ratio of cheese & toppings. Wood-fired for a crispy crust. Tried a new one this time - the Bianca. This is a white pizza - ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan. Perfect mix, nicely seasoned. If white pizza is your thing, get this one! Celebrated their anniversary with cannoli! I'm a huge cannoli fan and these hit the mark! Crispy shell, creamy not-too-sweet marscapone filling swirled with mini chocolate chips. These are excellent - I hope they get added to the regular menu. Congrats to this family-owned business on your 5 year anniversary. Keep the pizzas coming!

Hot honey drizzled on spicy sausage with spots of creamy ricotta for contrast? Brilliant! Sure you can customize your pizza and they'll accomodate you, but the combinations they put together are so well balanced, you really should trust their "suggestions." And, don't miss out on their pasta. You don't need to run to a sit down restaurant for a pasta al forno experience, you can grab it here. Add your favorite pizza topping and you've got a great comfort food experience. If they're at a rodeo or an event, don't miss the chance to try them out. And if they're not too busy, great conversation too. :)

The buttered garlic bun elevated the experience to the point when I took my first bite the words "wow" came out quickly followed by my next bite. The wiener its self was cooked to perfection. The toppings tasted fresh and were not skimped. They have more than enough options for toppings and many options for hot dogs as well with 1/4 pound and even a red dog. The owners are sweet and excited to serve and socialize. The owners make the experience even better. In the end rescue dogs may have one of the best dogs in the triangle region.

Don's is a food truck/cart that serves delicious Italian ices. These are real, NY/NJ area Italian…read moreices, made "pre-WWII style" according to Don. Real fruit can be found in each flavor. I grew up in New Jersey, and had an Italian Ice truck visit my community pool every afternoon in the summer. I've traveled to Hackensack, NJ with my parents, also Jersey natives, for Italian Ice at a little Italian bakery. Suffice to say, I'm an Italian Ice snob in the same way I'm a pizza snob. Rita's is good when the craving hits, but it is clearly a mass-market product. For connisseurs of italian ice, the quality of the product comes down to (1) the consistency and (2) the flavor. Don's gets an A+ in both categories. Just a little bit slushy by the time you finish, nice small ice crystals that glide off the spoon and in to your mouth. I had the lemon, a classic that (along with cherry) defines the genre. It was like a great freshmade lemonade, with just enough lemon zest and lemon juice to give it a good zip. My better half got a sampler of flavors ... all were good but the blueberry really stood out with an intense blueberry flavor. Next time, I'm thinking I'll go with a mix of lemon and blueberry, and maybe I'll be more adventurous than that, but classics are classics for a reason. Anyway, $2 gets you a pleated wax paper cup (just like in NJ!) packed full and tall with Italian ice. And Don and his employees are super friendly. The twitter account is the best way to find Don and his cart, but recent history suggests areas around Duke's East Campus or the Hospitals in the afternoons, and the 9th St. Wachovia (by Bulkogi) in the events, and at the Durham Farmers Market times will be good bets.

The description for 5 stars is exactly how i would say it.. As good as it gets!…read more you get a lot for $3 and the flavors are extremely fresh! On a hot day, it's a wonderful treat and every flavor is different. I had the strawberry and it was exactly that. not too sugary and you can still crunch on some strawberry seeds. the rainbow is also a great choice if you're indecisive. in every scoop you can taste a little of everything... it's not like a fake rainbow sherbet, you can taste fruit in it! extra points because Don (i asssume it was him - looked like him) is an extremely nice guy and very appreciative for your business. :)
