This ice cream place is a go to every time I go to Sandusky. I used to take my daughter when she…read morewas little and now, I take my grandbabies. One of my favorite things to get there is a Cobbs cooler. It's a slushy with ice cream dropped into it like a float. The best of both worlds! The food is good in general. Not a lot of difference between food found at other ice cream places. The service is always fine. Not alot of parking and just a few tables in the front to sit. It's more of a order and go kind of place.

I don't know if this has always been the Purple Parrot, but I have been coming to this ice cream…read morestand for probably 30 years. This is an old-fashioned side of the road ice cream stand that has whatever you could dream of - hard ice cream and soft serve and so many food items from hotdogs to walking tacos to shredded chicken sandwiches to fried mushrooms and so much more. I personally am a soft serve girl and there are very few flavor combinations in this world that I love more than peanut butter and chocolate. On this my most recent trip this summer, I had the Nutter Butter sundae. The Nutter Butter sundae is Chocolate ice cream topped with peanut butter fluff, peanuts, whipped cream, a cherry and a Nutter Butter cookie. I'm sure you can tell by the description that this was a sugar overload, but delicious. I also got a pup cup for my pup, which is a small bit of vanilla ice cream with a dog treat on top. The ice cream was delicious and we had really good service my only gripe is the prices are a bit high. I paid $2.50 for a dog cup of ice cream - I just remember when that used to be like $.50 but I guess that's inflation for you. Overall, this is a great place with good ice cream and a nostalgic feel.

The food here is really good. I got their veggie wrap, fries, and dreamsicle shake. Best fries I…read morethink I've ever had. Only thing i didn't like was the clouds of mosquitoes outside but they do have a screened porch where you can wait for your order. Really friendly people, too. I'd go back.

I normally love this place and rarely have any issues, but today was a different story. I ordered a…read moresmall Diet Pepsi, and when I tried it, it tasted like the pop machine hadn't been cleaned in weeks. I also got a small cookie dough flurry and specifically asked for extra cookie dough--but didn't receive any extra. My friend ordered a milkshake and said it tasted like expired milk, which makes us think the milkshake machine hasn't been cleaned either. On top of that, both employees had noticeable attitudes. I understand everyone has bad days, but this just wasn't it. We even left a tip, and now we regret it.

This is a very fun concept for a "treat" restaurant, and the idea is also executed nicely. It is…read moreset up much like an ice cream scoop shop. There are lots of tempting cookie dough flavors available, as well as fun toppings. The "edible" cookie dough tastes just like real/"dangerous" raw cookie dough -- delicious! The shop doesn't have its own dedicated exterior storefront, but is located inside a large, interesting building. The location was clean, and shared space with a "food" restaurant which was closed when we visited. Street parking is available, which I think is free, but I'm not 100% on that. Overall, I'm glad we visited. It was unique, and I'd like to try more of the flavors - maybe even a sampler pack.

Would have loved to check this place out but they don't even have ONE single non dairy option.read more

There's lots of options so it's a little overwhelming but this place can get super busy so you should have time to mull it over. There's tables outside as well. The ice cream itself was very good, big scoops were served so you definitely aren't lacking. You can taste the quality here.

I have been coming to Vargos for 20 + years. It's always good service and good food. This day I got…read morea pulled chicken sandwich without the bun (just a little 4 oz cup of shredded roots brand chicken) it was a nice warm protein. I also got French fries as they are the only thing that is cooked in their own fryer, making it less contaminated by its gluten friends. Topped off the meal with a bumble berry slush float and the total was under $10 and filling! Parking is a little crazy when they are busy but they keep drive through line going by offering car hops that take pre orders in the line.

Good place for ice cream. It also has hot food. Vargo's Drive In is a longtime favorite in Norwalk…read more Also come here to play golf. They have a miniature course that looks a bit interesting. A lot of the usual stuff here. It has a lot of ice cream and frozen items. They have a decent selection of cold and hot stuff. It has a surprisingly large menu. We looked over it for a few minutes and got some frozen treats. I got a lemon lime slushie. This is a good size for what they charge you. It's about $2 for a medium. My female friend had the orange sherbet. It's about the same price for a medium bowl. This comes in a large cup all filled. It overall has a good value and they give you a lot for what they charge. Maybe it's not the best but they have good prices. There's also miniature golf so you can burn calories after eating treats.

The place is put together nice with lots of seating, and it's all wood, with pictures of ice shanty's on the wall... and when you place your order and get your snacks quick.

Wood paneled interior, adult waitstaff, and a full menu of sandwiches and breakfast delights await. It is a small dining room, and other people at the tables seemed engrossed their their conversations. I had a reuben - delicious, and my partner a turkey club - also delicious. Also, it must be said that their fries were superb! They are my absolute favorite kind that seemed to be tossed in something to give them a satisfying crunch. A great local spot to stop for lunch.

My trusty Yelp app came in good once again by finding dessert places and we decided to try out Joe Sundae's. While a little bit off the beaten path from Cedar Point traffic or even the downtown section of Sandusky, Joe Sundae's is an affordable little restaurant that the locals go to. They have a decent selection of locally produced Toft's ice cream, in which you can order a few different scoops of ice cream, make into sundaes or however you like it. They also have a selection of other drinks and food, but an old ice cream parlor seems to be their bread and butter. Service was prompt and friendly as well. Definitely a place folks in Sandusky or visiting Sandusky should give a try.
