I tried the lemon elderflower flavor, which was interesting but I didn't think I could eat a scoop so I opted for the classic chocolate in a waffle cone. The cone tasted super fresh. The ice cream was smooth and milk chocolate-y but not heavy at all. There's plenty outdoor seats.

This is one of those iconic places that sits along a road that has longed since been bypassed by…read morethe newer highway up the road. But that does not stop it from existing. You can come here at any time during their hours throughout the warmer months (closed for winter time months), and it will be a hard feat to accomplish with the amount of people waiting just like you are. This place has been hear for years and years. I can remember coming here while I was still in elementary school. Not much has changed since then, which to me is a great thing. The building is still that funky shaped one that you can recognize from up the road, or that building people use in their directions (I love Southwestern Pennsylvania for that reason alone). The only seating available here is outdoor seating or standing room only, but when you pull up for some ice cream, you usually don't care if you have a seat or not. Attached to this place is putt-putt course (miniature golf for the rest of you). It's old, it's rugged, it's AWESOME! It does look run down, but no one here cares, what they care about is getting that hole-in-one on the eighteenth hole so they win that free game, a great reason to come back. The food here is a great mix of roadside ice cream parlor meets carhop. Everything you can think of is here, from burgers to milkshakes. As for me, I gave them such a run for their money here. Forgetting my allergies for a brief moment here, I had them running around to find out what their food items were made out of (sad note people, if you have allergies, some of the items may not be for you). But in the end, they were able to accommodate me and my needs. As I munched away on my food while sitting in the sunlight I thought to myself, "Man, I really want to play some putt-putt." But that will have to wait for another day. *CASH ONLY

So happy it has extended hours throughout the year. Sometimes you just want ice cream, even if it's a cold winter day! They always have a variety of hard, house-made flavors available. They do free samples which is a plus! My daughter and I love to sample new flavors! The staff is always super nice and accommodating. They have a spacious seating area inside (tables, booths, and bar seating) and there are benches outside as well. We did their "Fill a Stanley" sale on their last day of operation before a short period of being closed until Spring and it was so worth it to stock up a bit and have some ice cream at home on hand.

The neon light greenery wall is a great touch for those looking for photo ops for the internet. Everyone scooping was extremely helpful, patient, and kind.

The prices were very reasonable and everyone left happy.

The staff were super friendly and well trained. Our meals come with a side salad and roll and the food was well prepared and hearty. The dining room is homey, not a lot of frills, paper place mats, plastic cups. But you're there for the food right? There is a row of booth seating along the side of the kitchen on the hallway leading to the restrooms, and the main dining room in front which is wooden tables and chairs. There was a pretty brisk take out business happening during our visit, as well as a decent amount of tables in the dining room. Clearly this is a spot the locals know about and frequent.
