The Swanson was really great, creamy, and yummy. The cider was good, but waaaaayyyyy too sweet in a coat-your-mouth way. The flavor was great, it was just the insane sweetness that really was not so great. Overall, would go back.

My husband and I decided to try this ice cream place this past Saturday night, Aug 1, and we won't…read morebe back for several reasons. First of all, we decided to go through the drive thru since there were no parking spaces available. Why on earth move your store to a spot without enough spaces? That decision was frustrating b/c the young thing taking orders was chatting it up with the car ahead of us while we, and at least three cars behind us waited. Patiently. I even had time to get out of our car in order to read the menu as to be ready with our order (need a menu cars can read b4 reaching order taker!), to be expedient. Finally got to order taking step and out of: Strawberry syrup, chocolate syrup, lactose free flavors and bananas, and who knows what else, as those are only the items that affected our order! Finally got through that ordeal and pulled up to the window. Imagine our surprise when, after paying just a hair under $20, we got a banana split, with no banana as expected, but also without the sauces my husband ordered! It was plain, save for some paltry crushed nuts. My "medium" sundae, the largest offered, was in a 9oz cup, not even filled up, see picture taken. When I questioned the girl at the window if I had indeed received the "medium", she assured me that I had, and that "it was even measured"! Oh my. My advice? Unless they see the light on customer service and make ordering changes to ensure Saturday night crowds get what they want, there will be no more crowds! Cream City, all the way.

I was a regular customer and was always grateful to send friends here. The past few times I have come in have not been good and I don't plan on coming back. Unfriendly service Food is not good Food never comes the way described on the menu Things on the menu are not included and what is included in the food is not on the menu Everything is over salted The garlic sauce is just gross ranch dressing It takes forever for the food then it's not worth the money spent I'm really disappointed because there aren't many restaurants here that have international cuisine that offers authentic flavors. I love trying different international dishes that are authentic instead of made for the pallet of picky eaters.
