It's strawberry and it's good, kinda wish they offered another flavor like the other always shops but a victory is a victory. The service was okay, you could tell the kids didn't really want to help, but then again, the service is always a bit better for other customers, but I digress. The place is always clean and either has a long line or is empty, if you arrive during the "sweet time". Would've been 5 stars if I didn't feel like I was an inconvenience to the staff.

The menu is classic, the kind of simple comfort food that has nothing to hide behind. Hot dogs, chili, fries, soft serve. Everything is straightforward and made the way you want it to be. The space is tiny, which is part of the charm and part of the warning label. There are only six seats, all at a counter, no tables. This is mostly a grab, wait a few minutes, and take it home kind of stop. Go early if you want a seat. Service is fast and genuinely friendly. Smiles, efficiency, no attitude, just people who know what they're doing. That kind of warmth matters more than most restaurants realize. We ordered a few foot longs, chili fries, and a couple ice cream cones. Every single item hit. The hot dogs were best loaded up with toppings, and the chili fries are a must. Rich, messy, and completely worth it. Highly recommended.

Introduction to history & deciding to go there:…read more Just read an article yesterday that Crazy Mason will be closing at the end of August. I was in old town Ellicott City on Saturday, April 18 for their Springfest. The only times I end up venturing to downtown is when there's some event going on. We were meeting up with my friend & his family. My friend's brother mentioned Crazy Mason was excellent and that they were very close to the concert stage area we were. I said to my girlfriend I'd be game to try them out to split a shake. Having one by myself is a lot of sugar, so splitting is a more sensible option, not to mention less total cost. This was originally the Ellicott Theater in the 1940's & 50's. Various performing artists, discotheque, etc. had its spot. It's cool this Crazy Mason milkshake place took over this space. Unusual for anything in the ice cream category to have such a large space. I also learned that they started in Myrtle Beach. I could see why as it's a touristy beach area, which various ice cream shops and some more unique options are more common than say in Howard County, MD. Although old town Ellicott City doesn't have the level of tourism that Myrtle Beach would, they have some and of course many locals who go here. In 2024, I had a friend in town, and we drove him up to old town Ellicott City to look around. I just read they started in June 2020 during Covid. The Ellicott City location opened in 2022. It's unfortunate they only lasted 4 years as they were outstanding. My experience: The staff was friendly. We asked for recommendations. The younger guy who was taking orders & making shakes, enthusiastically made a couple of suggestions to us. We settled on the Cookie Mashup, which was a shake with chocolate chip cookie, chocolate syrup, cookie dough bites, cookies n' cream, crushed chips ahoy, crushed Oreo, vanilla buttercream, whipped icing, and [deep breath] a whole Oreo on top. We opted to get it in their souvenir Crazy Mason jar, which is in a mason jar. We sat in the many seats on a lower level with a stage in the background. We waited maybe 10 minutes as they were pretty busy on that Saturday of Springfest. Wow, this shake was outstanding! One of the best shakes I've ever had. It was some flavorful with a lot of great ingredients. We both loved it. I will say it was quite messy, but it was worth it! The price was pretty expensive, but it was an experience. And I would get again, but it's quite unlikely I'll be in old town Ellicott City between today 8/11 & the end of August when they close. We asked the older gentleman who was the cashier & giving the finished shakes if we could wrap the mess we left behind on the mason jar. He said let me give you a new clean jar, which I thought was very nice, and let us keep the used jar too wrapping both of them carefully. In summary, I wish they were staying open for much longer than the next 3 weeks as they really were great and very nice staff/owner too!

Since we had just finished lunch, we didn't want one of the huge expensive milkshakes they are known for, although they did look delicious. Instead, my friend and went for one of our favorite treats: pineapple dole whip, swirled with non-dairy vanilla ice cream (for me) and of course, topped with rainbow sprinkles. The serving was large, and our order was ready quickly. Can't go wrong with dole whip, although the non-dairy ice cream was kind of flavorless. Still delicious though. The place is huge (it used to be an old theater) with plenty of tables. There is also a small game room up front with arcade games. Lots of cute murals on the wall to help capture the moment. There were also annoying gnats flying around, so I think next time I'll eat outside, but I will definitely be back.

As a first-time customer, I found the menu confusing and difficult to navigate. A little guidance or patience would have gone a long way. While the ice cream itself was fine, the poor customer service left a negative first impression and made the experience less enjoyable.

We got here shortly before closing, and there was a long line at the self-checkout kiosk, but that was mostly due to people taking a while to figure out what they wanted to order.
