I love the chocolate midnight shake, but the IWU2 and Trojan sundae are pretty good as well. No free refills and water is self serve. The place does have a distinct old smell when you come in but the ice cream comes out quick and you have it with your meal or just pick it up after you are done eating which is awesome. I loved to grab ice cream and walk around town or Taylor but there's plenty of seating inside.

I don't understand the hype?…read more We stopped by Ivanhoe's for lunch during a work trip. I've been told the place is supposed to be an "Indiana destination location"... I don't get it. Ivanhoe's was ok, but nothing special. It's like a rundown and dilapidated Culver's, but with a smaller menu and the food isn't nearly as good. We got there at 11:40 and it was busier than a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest... It was literally like an AARP Club in there (we were the young whipper snappers). The service was friendly, but it took 40 minutes for us to order and get our food... Their operations were super slow and inefficient. The food itself was alright (decent pork tenderloin) and they have an ice cream menu the size of Texas, but overall it just wasn't anything to write home about. Ivanhoe's is your quintessential podunk small town Indiana restaurant, which is cool but not worth all the hype... Good? Yes. Great? No.

I've got to check this out. So, headed that way. When we arrived, we were greeted with a helpful and friendly vibe from the staff members behind the counter...along with the traditional ice cream shop aroma. As you look around...you'll begin to notice area nostalgic antiquities. This added a next level engagement, as we enjoyed our food and ice cream. Food-wise...we split the loaded nachos. Yummy!!!! I will say personally, I could have used a dab more of the pork...but, it was still tasty...as they were spot on with the amount if the other toppings. After that...we each got our own life cream and buy was it delicious! Definitely recommend and will return!!

Hometown Cooking As…read morea former resident of Hartford City, I was pleased to see another dining experience to choose from in my hometown. The Sweet Spot, located in walking distance from the Blackford County Courthouse on West Washington street. The initial appeal is their various ice cream treats and drinks. While I didn't have the opportunity to try their various options, they appeared to be outstanding selections at reasonable prices. I met the owner (Mike) seated outside on a beautiful day last week and was very impressed with his desire to provide quality food at affordable prices wrapped in a memorable experience While the Sweet Spot has only been opened a few weeks, Mike and his great team have a wealth of knowledge and experience with an equal desire for creating a raving fan encounter I ended up (at Mike's recommendation) enjoying the mushroom, Swiss burger with a side serving of delicious potato salad. If you're looking for a hometown taste and feel, I'd encourage you to try it - you'll love it

This isn't an easy review to write. If this place was in Indy, I would say "It's trying to be too…read moremany things and should concentrate on doing fewer things the best they can." But it isn't in Indy. Smaller towns have different needs and I support when someone steps up in the community to fill that need (I would much rather see that than some big box store take over!) So, I was looking for a late afternoon cup of coffee and somehow found Cool Beans. It's part of an L-Shaped building that houses Mathews Insurance on one end and Tiki Hutt Tanning Salon on the other. Nestled back in the corner is a hard to see (unless you are really looking for it) entrance for Cool Beans. After parking in a lot across the street, I entered a somewhat densely packed dining room with a large mural on the back wall, a foosball table in a corner, bulk popcorn and candy on the far wall, and an order counter for coffee and ice cream. I was quickly greeted by a woman who came over from the tanning salon who filled my order. Turns out she works all three places in the building! No wonder it was confusing. I will say the coffee was tasty and that the woman was friendly and patient while I made my order. All good there! And though I understand that this business is filling a need with some desired products, I couldn't help but feel even this single business was a little too much. Too many tables made it feel cramped. Maybe if they got rid of the foosball, they could spread out a bit. I think if the business could sharpen the focus just a bit, I would have enjoyed the atmosphere better. Review #2566

After lunch, I decided to stop in this small shop for some ice cream. Although the restaurant…read more(next door) has been around for a long time, the ice cream shop has only been around about 5 years. They are next door to each other in the Bethel Pike Shopping Center north of McGalliard, so finding free parking was easy, though a little crowded. Inside the sweet shop, there are tables for guests who wish to enjoy their choices while there. At the back is a long counter with their buckets of ice cream on display. You can get samples of their flavors before purchase. Note on the right hand side is a list of daily specials that might be of use. There are also menu boards for pairings of ice cream and cookies that are available. I went with a lighter option and chose a raspberry sorbet (sherbet?) The woman behind the counter was friendly and promptly helped me with my order. She pointed out that my order qualified for a daily discount which I had missed. Very nice! Really nice tasting treat and a great price, especially with the discount. Review #3513

The gentleman who took my order was friendly and helpful in describing some of the flavors of the 40+ they have to try. I went with the Exhausted Parent... the name says it all, but it is a coffee and bourbon flavored ice cream with chocolate chunks! SOOO GOOD! And got a Carmel Iced Latte for the road. Both are delicious. Perhaps my favorite feature of this cute stop was the bulletin board of gift cards... other patrons have donated money and filled out post it's with the instructions to take one if you fit the criteria. I absolutely love this idea! If you are ever in Marion, make sure you take the time to stop by for a sweet treat! You won't regret it!

It's a few minutes off the highway, but certainly doesn't feel like you're in Gas City, IN. It looks like they added on an outdoor space recently. Nothing too extravagant, but nice enough for lunch. A nice younger man took care of us on the patio. The menu was quite eclectic and unique. The tortilla chips and cold bean dip was a great way to start. Both our soups were fantastic....cheddar cheese for one and leek soup the other. Fish and chips hit the spot and apparently a fan favorite. My wife had the club sandwich of GF bread. Great little local spot if you're ever in the area.
