    Mint chocolate chip!!!
    David D.

    Big scoops and great selection of flavors. Staff were very knowledgeable and friendly.

    Ice cream cone and milk shake

    Always a family favorite! The ice cream is to die for with so many different choices. The service is also the best, the staff are all super friendly and you can sample flavors as well!! This location is our favorite, it's very retro and fun in and outside. Will forever make this a vacation stop!!

    Banana split

    That banana split def hit the spot!! We got it with wet walnuts and it brought back so much childhood memories. All ice cream there is blue bell ice cream, so def not in house made. So, if that's what you're looking for, you will have to go elsewhere. If you're looking for a ton of options and a ton of flavors, this is def your spot. Be prepared to wait esp after dinner. The line wraps around and I did not think it moved fast. But once up there, service is beyond nice.

    When in Myrtle gotta hit Kirk's for the Kids. Our family came here and visited Kirk's on a search for a good late night sweet treat and got just that. Their service was great and the ambiance was swell. I tried their butterfinger ice cream and it was delicious. I will definitely be coming here again. I will say the parking lot is crowded, but other than that it was good solid ice cream! 8.8/10

    I loved everything about this place! When you walk in, you definitely get the cozy, classic, old-school ice cream parlor feel. The interior is spacious and has plenty of seating. The employees here were so friendly and quick to help you out (with samples or your order). The menu is very extensive with sundaes, milkshakes, scoops, specialties, etc. Their ice cream is delicious AND the portions are huge! I got: ~Graham Central (5/5): Tasted just like a graham cracker without being grainy, like other ones I have had at other places ~Oatmeal Cream Pie (5/5): Big chunks of oatmeal cream pies, but not soggy The ice cream overall is so creamy and packed with flavor! Wish I went back before I left to go back home.

    Inside

    Wow! Reviews on this place weren't lying - for sure the best ice cream in the area. The inside is old school with stained glass lights and signage and cute places to sit. Lots of options, including specialty waffle cones. The staff was really friendly. Get some pizza next door, then stop here. Great experience, really delicious!

    This is an amazing icecream shop. My sister and I went and the service was amazing. Especially when one worker (who we assumed was Kirk), was very kind and gave us extra utensils and napkins for the brownie sundae. Great work Kirk, keep it up

    Turtle Sunday
    A P.

    Went on over visit to Myrtle Beach. Very simple ambiance typical old school ice cream shop with many different flavors they offer. We got the turtle Sunday which was very flavorful (two scoops of ice cream with 2 toppings and two kind of drizzle with whipped cream). Service was fast any friendly definitely a revisit place when we come to Myrtle Beach.

    Love the vibe! Great place to bring kids. Long line, but it moves quickly. So many ice cream choices, but the flavors are delicious. If you're on the area definitely stop on by!

    Chocolate peanut butter ice cream and lemon sorbet (he'd already started eating his. Oops!)
    Betsy L.

    This old-fashioned ice cream parlor was absolutely packed, and it's easy to see why! The delicious ice cream is scooped up in big servings, and there's a lively, fun ambiance, added to by the friendly staff. They have a lot of options, including non-dairy sorbets! I got chocolate peanut butter ice cream, and my companion got a lemon sorbet. Both were lovely!

    Good service. Liked the ambiance. Ice cream wasn't that good. Neither my daughter (8 yo) or I finished our dips. That should say something.

    Do they have custard?

    No. It's old fashioned ice cream in gallons. Outsourced from a dairy i.e. Blue Bell. Not their own brand.
