This is a really fun place to grab ice cream while we were visiting. It's in a very walkable area of the downtown. Parking is a little bit of an issue, but didn't take us over long to be able to find a place to park and within a walkable distance. My family had a great experience. read more

6/18/26 I had the Icecream here after my son raved about it. I think he overly hyped it. While it was good I wasn't blown away by it. The service was friendly and the icecream was good. I got a boring vanilla sundae with chocolate sauce whipped cream and a cherry and a bottle of water. It was over 8$. The place is very cute with soldier statues and a large ring game in the exterior. There are tables and picnic tables outside. It's very relaxing and a beautiful place to enjoy homemade ice-cream. S'coupe de Ville is the best ice-cream I've had, and Leibys is a close second. read more

omg so I stopped at Mr. G's in Gettysburg and like... the ice cream actually matched my vibe for once. the homemade stuff is so creamy and the waffle cone was perfect, not that sad soggy mess most places give you. i got the prettiest scoop and it looked so good i had to take like 20 pics before i even ate it. the little historic building and the outdoor seating made the whole thing feel aesthetic which is honestly rare. staff was fine, didn't mess up my order, and i left looking cute and satisfied so yeah. if you're in gettysburg just go, your feed will thank you. read more

Great Ice Cream. Great service. Some interesting unusual flavors. We really enjoyed stopping here for my Birthday Treat.

This place is so cute and has a lovely seating area. Even with a line they moved very quick, we almost passed it up due to the line but they were fast! The ice cream its self was delicious! Our group has soft serve and homemade, both were equally delicious. read more

Our group of six had a great time here! The building has a historic charm that made the wait (about 15 minutes) more enjoyable, and the outdoor line even had a fun game to keep us entertained. We passed another ice cream shop to try this one after a tour guide mentioned it was among the best in the country according to a recent news article. While my two-scoop cone definitely hit the spot on a warm August afternoon, my daughter pointed out that the article's author might not have sampled some of the fantastic dairy stores and ice cream shops we have back home in the Midwest. I'd have to agree--I've had better in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Still, this is a charming stop with tasty treats and a fun vibe--worth a visit if you're in the area! read more

Don't bother with vanilla shakes or malts. Made with soft serve instead of real ice cream. Disappointing.

First time in town and decided to give this plave a try. We had orange pineapple and coffee ice cream. The ice cream was creamy with good slightly "chewy" texture. Flavors were on point without being too sweet. The staff was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend! read more

The best ice cream this side of town! Love the chocolate covered coffee beans! Brownie pieces were bite-sized chunks, not crumbles. Can't wait to try the orange cream next time. read more

We were visiting Gettysburg and heard Mr G's had Great ice cream. We agree. Friendly service. Close to town

We walk past a few ice cream places which activated the craving and then we walked by Mr. G's and the line was wrapped the building which deactivated the hunger. We happen to circle back and noticed the line was manageable which reactivated the indulgence so we got some choc peanut butter in a waffle cone. Wonderful ice cream and service was good too. read more

Oh Man! Wish I lived in Harrisburg to enjoy Mr G's ice cream every day! Visited this quaint town for a Bible conference and stumbled upon this jewel. Loved the huge banana split boats two days in a row. Great stuff. Cute environment and good service. read more

Absolutely amazing apple snaps ice cream! Without a doubt this is the flavor that you should get when you stop by here. We were waiting for our ghost tour to start and found this place nearby. The line was long but the service was fast. The pumpkin and lemon were great as well but didn't stand out like the apple snaps did. There cones are very tasty as well. Definitely would get a cone instead of a cup read more

Move over Haagen-Dazs and Baskin-Robbins because we have a new winner! I don't know who Mr G is, but I assume he's an ice cream man from the old days. He makes the best ice cream! The locals love it, and tourists love it too. I had the regular vanilla ice cream with a waffle cone, Hubby had his cookie dough ice-cream. I think they tweak it daily, so everyday comes different flavors. The service was good, and the young, happy campers served ice cream. Ice creams do make people very happy. Well, I'm so glad this place exists, so the next time I return, I'll try more ice cream! We arrived late before they closed, but people still come here at night and line up for the sweets after their meals. After getting the ice cream, you can sit on the bench to eat it or take it to go. It's a house-like corner store and quite a nice-sized ice cream shop offering many flavors. read more

Went there for the first time today and ordered a homemade ice cream milk shake. I watched them do it then make it and after realizing they did not use enough "homemade" they topped it off with soft serve. I basically got a glass of milk with a touch of ice cream. read more

A very famous spot for dessert in Gettysburg. And, for great reason. The Place definitely makes quality ice cream, has a decently diverse menu with nice specials, and the wait times are reasonable. Quite efficient here. I got to try out their cookies and cream milkshake. That milkshake was very good! I could barely snap a picture in time before I finished everything. It was creamy and had plenty of cookie chunks. A fantastic price as well, and a nice portion. Someone else had a great pumpkin ice cream of some sort, which I thought sounded unique and very tasty. All in all, this spot was great. I really enjoyed it. It's a classic, and I would love to return the next time I'm in Gettysburg. read more

Great ice cream with generous servings. The small is about 2+ scoops; had I known that I would have gotten two flavors. The girl that took the order didn't mention that when I was struggling to pick one flavor. Her customer service skills could have been better. Outside seating only. read more

Great homemade waffle cones. Great price!!! The pumpkin cheesecake ice cream was the BEST we even had. It's all homemade and wonderful. The staff was sweet and served it up FAST!! read more

Typically I never leave reviews but today I think I just have to. This mom & pop ice cream store is exceptional in both its service and it's ice cream itself. To begin, the service at this place is exceptional. Typically they have a set of ice cream flavors that they serve for a day. However today I asked if they had a flavor that they weren't serving for that day. I'm just visiting from another state and just thought it wasn't on the menu. (100% my bad) However even though they didn't offer it, they were able to get it for me from their back freezer. This process of preparing it for me took time since it wasn't pre-prepared. But this goes to show you that this place priorities customers over comfort. Additionally, their ice cream is exceptional. It is all homemade and the flavor and texture of the ice cream is perfect. Would come again. If you are visiting Gettysburg this place is 100% worth coming to read more

The ice cream was delicious. It's such a cute place to get an icy treats. My husband had the coffee ice cream and it was the best coffee ice cream ever. I had a lemon flavor ice cream with girls scout lemon shortbread mixed in. To die for! My girls got the soft serve and they loved theirs as well. We'll definitely come back if we visit Gettysburg again. The staffs were pleasant and friendly. Sweet kids. read more

I don't know. I stopped to get some ice cream because they had the best reviews in town. But the line wrapped around the building and I wasn't willing to abuse myself. read more

Fabulous home made ice cream and happy servers. I enjoyed a pecan hot fudge Sunday while seated outdoors on a warm October evening on my way to a ghost tour. What more can one ask for? read more

Had an excellent experience at Mr. G's. Their ice cream is homemade and a must try! Their location is perfect on the main drag of Gettysburg creating a private but still lively space. The staff is super nice too. 5 stars! read more

Best ice cream in Gettysburg! Small cones are big, & waffle coves are bigger!!!!! Reasonable price for amount you get, kids a very good, Definitely will be back! read more

OMG was this ice cream to die for. I had the mint oreo and I wouldn't change a thing about it. My boyfriend got the banana peanut butter ice cream which he enjoyed very much but said a bit of chocolate in there would have made it a million times better (and it was already great!) What put the whipped cream and cherry on top of this wonderful ice cream outing was we were immediately asked upon ordering if we wanted a "pup cup" for our dog. See the pic for how happy it made our corgi! read more

Always love stopping by while in Gettysburg!!! The ice cream is always delicious and the staff is so friendly. It's very old fashioned and has some cool stuff, the place is very well taken care of and is truly a gem! read more

My family and I had often read great things about Mr. G's, so when we told a relative that we were going to be heading into Gettysburg for the day, he said we NEEDED to make a stop especially for ice cream at Mr. G's. Boy did Mr. G's exceed my expectations! First of all, there are a wide variety of flavors, both traditional and unique concoctions. My son went with his all-time favorite, strawberry, but this wasn't plain old average strawberry: there were actually BIG chunks of juicy strawberries in it. It was difficult for me to choose between the Coffee and Donuts, Cookie Dough, or Pumpkin Brownie, but, being your stereotypical autumn-pumpkin-spice-everything girl, I ultimately went with the Pumpkin Brownie. The mix between pumpkin flavor and big, chewy chocolate brownie bits was AMAZING! (However, I will be back to try the Coffee Donuts and Cookie Dough). My husband very much enjoyed his Black Raspberry. Mr. G's is a MUST when you are in Gettysburg. Along with the unique flavors, you get a very generous portion of ice cream (your choice of cup or cone). Don't pass up Mr. G's!! read more

PROS: this is still my top ice cream place in the area. The ice cream tastes good, prices are unbeatable, staff is nice, and the service is now very quick CONS: they closed off the inside you you're stuck standing on line and eating outside OVERALL: no matter how full I am from my last meal I'll always have room for their ice cream...as long as it's not raining read more

Lines are long but move quickly . I went 2 out of 3 days there very good, salted Carmel ice cream is amazing . Brownie sundae very good as well . But if you go best item on the menu is the ice cream cookie sandwich you can put any flavor between them you want . I'm from Long Island so if I say everything is cheap it is to me I'm used to overpaying for everything so to me it's very cheap ! read more

SOO GOOOD! Best ice cream in town love the flurries!!! Also line looks long but went quick and fast service.

The ice cream is always delicious! Homemade ice cream at the best . The prices are little steep but so is everywhere else lately in life . The service is great as well except for the one time we came we had issue w one of the ladies having attitude but other than that it's good. You're allowed to try samples which helps you decide which flavor to get . Oh n the waffle cones oh yea so delicious. We recommend this spot highly . Go try some ! read more

The soft serve is ABSOLUTELY the best! It is far superior to Dairy Queen. We plan our time in Gettysburg around 1-2 trips to Mr G's daily. 5 Star Yum! read more

Mr g's ice cream was fantastic we came 2 days and they had specials each of the days we stopped by including one day that was sundaes. They have hard and soft ice cream flavors one of my kiddos had soft serve twist which was nice as he doesn't like anything in his ice cream everyone e else tried different hard ice cream flavors and they were delicious read more

The ice cream is just okay. I don't know why it's being raved. Definitely homemade but not the best ice cream. Our ice cream was super soft and dripping by the time we got it. It's just okay. read more

I know this place doesn't need another 5-star review but... I have to give it anyway! The ice cream here was, according my three teenage boys who are ice cream aficionados, amazing! There are a wide variety of flavor options and the prices are decent for such high-end products. Prepare to wait in line but it's worth it! read more

Delicious IceCream and great service. The chocolate peanut butter and black raspberry were our favorites. The Memorial Day berry parfait was also the bomb! read more
