    Ice cream
    Mia T.

    The best ice cream place on the cape! Always say yes to the waffle, cone they make it fresh and made to order. There is a wide variety of flavors, you're bound to find a flavor or sundae that appeals to your tastebuds. The line is also long and looks intimidating, but it goes by fast and is worth the wait!

    Heard great things about the parlor and always saw there was a long line (figured it must be good if people will wait) so I decided to go this weekend. I got a scoop of cake batter and s'mores. The cake batter was decent, but the s'mores however, was EXCELLENT. The flavor, the marshmallow swirls and chocolate bites was just so delicious, especially on a hot, summer evening. The staff was super friendly and kept the line moving. Overall, I definitely had a very positive experience and would absolutely come back.

    We had to check out all the hype! They did not disappoint. We did wait in line for over 35 minutes this seems to be the norm since this place is so popular. They are known for their freshly made waffle cones so I had to give it a try. Not going to lie, not as sweet as I would have liked it to be, so not my cup of tea, but it was still enjoyable. My family tried a few different flavors; strawberry, strawberry cheesecake, oreo peanut butter, and oreo. All yummy! The staff was so friendly and patient with us as we read the walls full of menus. They had fun decor, consisting of collectibles filling the entire inside. Outside they had fun large cones you could stick your heads in. Overall it was good. Next time I would order ahead to avoid the long line.

    We're back for yet another season and the first thing on our list is a visit to Polar Cave. The ice cream is still amazing and the made on the spot waffle bowls are the best, DO NOT MISS THIS PART! We are always greeted with a cheery smile and happy people eager to quickly serve the crowd of adoring Polar Cave fans. Inside the building doesn't disappoint, many memories of coke from years past and cute polar bears everywhere. I love this gem on the cape.

    Icecream

    Ice cream is the best, I love their flavors and personally the cotton candy and vanilla is my fav. It's a cool place with a nice family running it. Overall the service is great and they always have a smile.

    Super cool spot where they make the waffle cones fresh-to-order. Flavors are amazing, and everyone is so nice here. I really love it when the owner is making the waffle cones himself.

    A beary happy new customer!

Our daughter has severe dairy and egg allergies, so finding delicious food that was safe for her--and enjoyable for all of our guests--was a top priority. We also wanted to spend our time celebrating with family and friends rather than reheating food or managing last-minute prep, so we chose the cold and room-temperature menu options. Everything exceeded our expectations. The wraps were absolutely delicious, and we especially appreciated that they thoughtfully prepared five dairy- and egg-free wraps for our daughter. The red potato salad with green beans was outstanding and paired perfectly with the lemon chicken, which was excellent served at room temperature. Many of our guests couldn't stop talking about the sesame noodles! We even sliced up the leftover chicken and mixed it with the noodles for several delicious meals in the days that followed. Beyond the wonderful food, the warm, friendly service we received over the phone made the entire process easy and stress-free. Thank you for helping make our daughter's graduation celebration so special. We will absolutely be back and will happily recommend you to our friends on the Cape!

So I got a mask, plastic bags, and figured I'd see which places were busy or if they were all jammed. I decided to "drive by" Roche's because I heard they deep cleaned every night. It didn't look crazy. They seemed to have a lot of their produce outside, which was nice. People were trying to follow the arrows inside the stores and most had masks. The store was spotless. The inventory was pretty good, considering we're in the middle of a pandemic. There was even toilet paper which I didn't need, but was nice to see on the shelves for future reference, lol. I guess what impressed me most was the staff. Even in all this, twenty minutes before close, they were friendly and efficient. The girl wiped down her station thoroughly before each order and was so personable and friendly. When the bagger found one of my items packaging had an opening, he let me know and happily went off to grab a new one. I can't even imagine the stress of working in a grocery store right now. They were great. I went in extremely stressed and nervous and the store was set up in a way I felt safe shopping there. (I still wore mask and gloves). I figured I'd let people know, particularly elderly people that while some stores seem to be out of control, it looks like Roche's is really going above and beyond.

I contacted several caterers for a small gathering, but one thing let me know this catering company was THE ONE: When I called to get a quote, the owner - on his own accord - physically visited the site to get the lay of the land before I even signed the contract. He stayed in contact with me throughout the ENTIRE process and handled every curve ball with a smile. To boot, the services were reasonably priced. We began with the goal of having a clam bake. Then, I considered the fact some people might be allergic to shell fish. Little Rock allowed me to have a hybrid menu to appease all my guests. They came from far and wide, from Memphis to India to China to Chicago and New York. I knew I had a tough crowd that has eaten at some of the best restaurants across the globe. Our experience with Little Rock was absolutely PERFECT, from my first phone call to the last morsel I put in my mouth. The first course was clam chowder. Really?! The clam chowder was out of this wooooorld!!! Every single guest I spoke with commented on its deliciousness. My guests said the clam bake was also absolutely perfectly delicious and that they were stuffed after the meal because the plate was so full of food. We also got a beef tenderloin option, which melted in your mouth. The BBQ chicken option was stupendous. Peter and his wife brought a family feel to my reception, but their delivery was beyond professional. When I called Peter after the event, he said he enjoyed our work together, met wonderful people throughout the day and that he wished the hubby and me a lifetime of bliss. What an incredibly personal touch. I am dripping with accolades for this amazing company that made my day beyond special. I couldn't have pulled this off without Little Rock. Glowing review!!!!!! Take a bow, Little Rock. Take a bow.

Beyond creating an incredibly bespoke and personal menu for us (with plenty of GF and veggie options!) Sally was instrumental to the process. She helped us book all of our rentals (tent, flatware, plates, tables, etc) and she was always there for advice and to offer suggestions based on her experience. She met with us at PEAK to pick out our tableware, she gave us great suggestions for anything else we needed to rent, coordinated all the setup both on Friday and our actual wedding day, and was so prompt in her replies via email or phone. We could not have pulled it off without her expertise! We would have ended up spending a lot more money overall if we didn't have her guidance. And of course the food was amazing. I loved the fact that it was all local and in-season! Sustainability was very important when picking our vendors, so I appreciated the attention to detail, the composting, and support of local farmers and growers. Plus we got to take home the leftovers! Win/win/win. Lastly, the whole team truly cares about the process. They don't just throw food in pans on the table, but craft such gorgeous tablescapes that look like they fit in perfectly with the rest of the event. Handmade pottery, flowers, cutting boards...its beautiful to look at, AND to eat! If you need a caterer to deliver the BEST food and support your wedding or event - Smoke and Pickles is your team.

In Sally we not only met a caterer but we made a friend.
