This is a great Andy's location. Easily accessible right off Rand Road. The parking lot is a decent…read moresize, but there's a small downside parking. If you're parked along the drive-thru line, it can be hard to get out of the spot with all the cars lined up behind you. Most of the time people are decent letting me back out of my spot, but there's always a few cars who just won't leave an opening. Service is always super fast, no matter how many people are in line or waiting. There's a few benches so seating so you eat there. It's always brightly lit too. I've been there with a long drive thru line where cars are backed up on Rand Rd., but don't let that deter you from going- the car line moves super fast! Just pull up the menu while you wait so you know what you want when an employee walks up to your car to take your order. Speaking of the employees taking your order - they are all super friendly, they have a smile no matter how hot or cold it is outside, and they're so patient waiting for everyone to order. I think they must have a kindness, happy, friendly detector because this Andy's has all the nicest people working here. Even the people at the window and walk up! You see them working it together in harmony inside as they make each order. It is an impressive team, no matter what time of the day we go and how busy it gets! They work like really like their job AND each other (I'm kinda jealous!) The frozen custard is so smooth and creamy. It's perfectly flavored, we get the vanilla and have tried the chocolate which is decently chocolatey! They don't skimp on the toppings either. If anything, hubs says there's sometimes not enough ice cream to balance the amount of toppings. Service is excellent. Frozen custard is excellent. Wait time is great. Definitely a must go for dessert!

Reliable Rainbow Cone location with plenty of parking, plenty of seating, and the flavors that you…read moreexpect. This is a fun experience to try at least once, particularly on a warm day. Service isn't the fastest here, but it's fast enough given the required effort to layer the cone, so you can expect the final product to be a bit slightly melted by the time you order it. The ice cream is high quality and flavorful, regardless of which options you get. My only criticism is that the variation between cones can be noticable at times, where baby, small, and large cones can have similar amounts of ice cream.

They have a lot of VERY cool memorabilia on the walls, which is worth a look no matter what. The staff are super helpful, but the store can get very busy, so have a little patience. The best part of this place is the ice cream, of course. They have a ton of really unique and delicious flavor combinations. Not all are obvious (what is "Exhausted Parent"? But once you know that it's Bourbon-spiked espresso ice cream swirled with bittersweet chocolate chunks, it makes total sense). So ask if you're not sure. Swing by here for a quick treat or a wonderful part of date night!

Other locations Ice cream and service were not even close. My favorite thing here are the paletas (Mexican ice cream bar) specifically the one with mixed fruit. It has such a nice creamy, sweet milk base flavor and then you get the burst of fruit. I've tried the Ferrero rocher, Oreo, and other fruit flavors which were all yummy and true to their flavor names but the mixed fruit one is my go to. The staff here have always been great. I am not familiar with Latin American flavors/fruits and on multiple occasions, staff was very patient answering questions about different fruits or flavors of ice cream and even giving me a taste. On one occasion one of my kids had mentioned something about a green slushy and when we went to pay she gave him a small cup to try. They also are quite generous with the amount of ice cream they serve. They also have a large selection of dairy free paletas. I did not try one but a bunch in our group who are dairy free, raved about how smooth they were (as no dairy) and how strong the fruit flavor was. The mango was a very big hit. There is a reason why there is always a line here. If you have never tried paletas before you must try them and this is the location to try it from.

Seating is okay, it can be limited when it gets busy. Evidently, people like to bring their kids at 9 pm on a Saturday night. We ordered crustachio, purple rain, and mango moonlight. I just realized that they forgot to add pistachio gelato on top like in the picture. The gelato would have been a nice add on, to make the rest of the dessert less rich. I asked for 50% sugar for the purple rain and it was fine. I didn't want anything overly sweet. Service was friendly. Prices were fair for these type of desserts.

It's up there with Bi-Rite in SF and McConnell's in Santa Barbara. But recently, I am incredibly disappointed because it seems like Graeter's has phenomenal ice cream, but absolutely TERRIBLE milkshakes. The milkshakes at this location are genuinely and confoundingly bad. The consistency of the "shake" is essentially just liquid. No mass or weight, no peaks or solidity. The ratio of milk to ice cream feels like 99:1. Devastating from a renown and respected brand. What a waste to use a fantastic product by basically diluting it down to flavored milk. I now know what NOT to order at one of my favorite chains and find it sad that I've found a gaping hole in the menu.
