My old faithful heath artic swirl with chocolate ice cream was terrible tonight. Made well as usual but the heath must be Palmers brand or something. Some ingredients you just cannot skimp on without it being noticed. read more

My review is not about a visit but about a visit that did not happen. I tried to order a carryout by phone. I was told to go on line to order. When I got to the online order it was not accepting orders. So guess what I went down the street to the other end of town and got a delicious meal. They answer their phone, took our order and we picked up our food in 15 minutes. Guess our new favorite local place is not Polly's. read more

Polly's Freeze was a family member's favorite place, and we used to come here together every week when I was a young kid. I'm so glad that it didn't close down when the original owners retired. It's still one of my top ice cream spots, but their fries are also killer and should not be discounted when considering the menu (tip: order the fries and dip them in vanilla soft serve). I can't wait to hit up Polly's Freeze before heading to the drive-in this summer. It's sure to be a good time. read more

My hubby and I decided to check out Polly's freeze, an ice cream joint we had heard about many times from the locals. We headed over. It was busy and they have fun items like pickle popsicle and Hawaiian hurricane! We had a hamburger, fried mushrooms, root beer, chicken sandwich, and my fave (cherry dip cone). So tasty, and very happily recommended. It's a happy place. read more

I have been visiting this quaint place for decades. It is generally crowded but service is typically fast. I like that they added more parking. I like the frozen banana. I would like to see sugar free and dairy free items added to the menu. I really like that the building and sign has not changed to be more modern. Somethings should never change:) read more

Polly's Freeze is a regional treat, and I'm glad I finally had the opportunity to visit. My family and I stopped after our trip to Bryant's Blueberries. I got an Oreo flurry. My husband got a Polly's Freeze Special (cone rolled in peanuts with vanilla ice cream), and my son got a vanilla soft serve with sprinkles. Polly's Freeze has a walk-up window with its ample menu listed all along the front. It takes a minute to take it all in. And then there are picnic tables and other seating on either side. Our treats were great and hit the spot. The only hiccup was that they took 25 minutes or so to come out. We ended up asking about our order, and we found out that our order was put with the hot food orders, not ice cream. So if it's taking a bit, you might want to inquire. read more

Polly's Freeze - a woman standing in front of a store - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Georgetown, Indiana

I've been going to Polly's Freeze since I was a youngster. It was great then, and it still holds up today! It's on the side of the road with plenty of space to spread out when you eat. You order at the counter and wait for them to call your number. You can get hot food and of course cold desserts. My family has always loved the rotating sherbet (this is actually the place where I learned the word is sherbet, not sherbert). It can get busy on a nice day, but the employees are quick and keep it moving. It is a seasonal business, and you need to visit. read more

Absolutely delish. I went with the twist soft serve topped with crunch coat which is a mixture of broken up nuts and multicolored sprinkles. The soft serve is so creamy and flavorful that you'll be tempted to get another. As far as ambiance goes, there is none cause it 's an outside, busy family place...noisy and busy and fun with families waiting in lines for their kind service. Not to be missed!! read more

About 3 months ago, we relocated to the southeastern area of Indiana from southcentral Kentucky. The first several days of unpacking all suggested "You must try Polly's Freeze! It's a landmark site! You'll love the food, ice cream, and atmosphere!" We did and we did! We visited frequently and made certain we stopped on their last day (they close for the winter months) to get our "ice cream and Polly Burger fixes" hoping it gets us through the winter! read more

What better way to celebrate a sunny summer Sunday than to take a drive to Mellwood Indiana and visit one of the best local establishments in southern Indiana. You can get virtually anything here from corndog all the way to a hot fudge sundae or frozen banana. I always opt for the orange sherbet and vanilla ice cream twist. Need something to do a a Sunday afternoon? How about putting the kids in the car and come on down ! you will not be sorry. read more

Of course this place is great. I've been a handful of times this season and every single time I have loved what I got. This last time I got their snow bird (I believe that's what it is called). It was cherry icee with ice cream. SO GOOD! read more

I'm partial to this ice cream place because I was going here since I was a kid. Fond memories hanging out with friends. Great local establishment I will continue to support. No indoor seating. read more

AWESOME choice of deserts and I loved the milk chocolate taste of their chocolate soft serve. Food, well kind of overcooked. Large fish sandwich is for really hungry folks. read more

I can't wait for this seasons opening! There is nothing I do not like. Their prices can be steep but everything is great!

This is a great snack bar and ice cream spot on the outskirts of Louisville. They have an enormous selection of flavors, sundaes, and shakes - strawberry milkshake is a fave. The onion rings are excellent, but the Polly Burger is pretty basic. This is a popular summer spot with picnic table seating. On a beautiful summer day, be prepared to wait, as it's quite popular. read more

Even though it's only open a few months a year...absence makes the heart grown fonder. It's a community staple and I go way too often when it's open. Their food is not healthy but delicious...and they have every type of frozen treat you can think of. My personal favorite is the sherbet that changes flavors frequently and the upside down banana split. read more

Polly's Freeze - Wild cherry sherbet - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Georgetown, Indiana

I had an upside down banana split that I loved. The atmosphere was of an old town and it is gorgeous. Pricing is affordable. Staff were nice and informative. They even showed me pictures when I wasent for sure of an item. Will be back for sure read more

Service is a little slow because it's so busy but the food is normally on par. You can order ahead, which I recommend.

This is an awesome neighborhood spot! It's a small dairy freeze that is totally a mom & pop restaurant. I got a cheeseburger meal with a peanut butter sundae. Yeah, I said peanut butter. It was very tasty. There is no seating inside but that's 100% part of the charm of Polly's. Several families were eating their lunch while I was waiting my meal to be prepared. My only issue was that no one seemed in any hurry to get meals out to customers. I did see a sign while I waited in anticipation for my number to be called that they accept online orders. I'll do that next time but I'll definitely be back. No frills -- just a good dose of nostalgia. read more

Little ice cream and food joint my family always stops by and enjoys before we head down the street to catch some movies at Georgetown drive inn Big menu to choose from that is pretty tasty.

There are lots of great ice cream places in the Southern Indiana area, Chillers, Comfy Cow, Graeters, even Widows Walk Ice Cream- But Polly's Freeze has them beat. It's such a local treasure that I'm hesitant to write this review just so I can keep it secret. Polly Freeze has an extensive menu, it's so big that it just doesn't fit most of the stuff that they actually have available. There's always another way to order a certain sundae, or a raspberry swirl to add to your vanilla soft serve, so make sure to ask what the employee recommends before ordering! This time I got the Elvis sundae, it's peanut butter ice cream with banana, hot fudge, whipped cream, and bits of peanuts. The location is perfect- full of picnic tables and benches to enjoy your food or ice cream on! It's nestled into the woods just a little bit away from the 'main' town- its very beautiful and serene there! read more

Polly's Freeze is a local ice cream place that also has food available for Lunch or Dinner. The ice cream is the best around. From ice cream cones, malts, shakes, sundaes and many other ice cream delights that they are famous for. They are a landmark summer stop in this area. I have always been pleased with the quality of the ice cream and food they provide. The friendly staff goes out of its way to serve you. The Chocolate Shakes are awesome! read more

This is a local favorite and my wife won't let us visit without stopping here for ice cream with "twinkles" on it. I personally don't think there is anything exceptional about the ice cream as it's mostly soft serve. It is good ice cream but I think the outdoor atmosphere is more nostalgic than anything else. This is an old fashioned ice cream shop where you walk up to a window and order. They serve at the next window and then you can sit at a picnic table outside. They have a few that are covered and several that are uncovered. It's a great spot to take kids on a summer evening and let them play. Recently, they updated the parking lot to add more spaces and also added more picnic tables and an awning the order window. If you're in the area, it's worth stopping for the experience. read more

One of our favorite places to go every summer! We love to bring friends and family here when they come to visit. I recommend the pineapple dole whip, but you also cant go wrong with a chocolate shake! read more

Always great icecream and treats. It is like stepping back in time when visiting. You can get all of the old school ice-cream treats that are mostly missing at modern day ice-cream shops. The staff is always courteous, the facilities are always clean. They have a great family atmosphere. read more

Everything is good! Service is fantastic! Love the atmosphere! Just wish they had better parking.

Classic local ice cream shop! The staff is always kind and efficient, and the overall setup brings forth immense nostalgia for those of us locals. read more

A local favorite. Polly's Freeze never disappoints! Great prices, quality ice cream and other food, very family friendly.

Not bad at all for a mom and pop run establishment. Could do more on greeting customers, maybe like saying "Thanks for coming to Pollys, what can i get you?" would be a huge improvement. Burgers were good, and service quick on drinks! Plenty of parking as well as lots of seating, both under the shade areas and in sun. read more

A great ice cream shop, they have so many options, not only do they serve ice cream but food such a burgers fries nuggets etc. honestly better than chillers which is hard to beat. I love their tea, flavor burst ice cream, and also their chicken nuggets. Would recommend read more

We hadn't been here for a few years and probably won't be back to our neighborhood food place. We usually get the Polly burger with a scoop of the BBQ on each. We ended up getting 2 Polly burgers with a scoop of BBQ on each burger with 1 order of fries. They used to charge 0.50 cents for each scoop.... this time they charged us over 3$ . They have changed the burger since the last time we were there.... could definitely taste a difference in quality. Our bill ended up being over $17 which seems high for 2 burgers and 1 fry. read more

Creamy soft serve icecream to make your summer perfect! Hot fudge sundae was delicious with a thin whipped topping and crushed peanuts. The lemon milkshake was tasty and fun to eat on the picnic table with everyone having a great time and great spot on the side of the road. Lots of parking, pull in and enjoy. read more

This is an old school ice cream place. With rolling hills, lots of green space and plenty of picnic tables this is a great place to take your kids for an inexpensive dinner and let them run around outside. I don't know for sure, but this seems like the sort of ice cream place that closes for the winter...all of the food is passed through the windows to the customers outside the building while the staff works inside. People say this place uses to be better. I don't know how that is possible. They make some (maybe all) of their own ice cream. They have great fried food and burgers. Unless you are on a diet this place is 'da shiz! read more

Not being native to the area, I do not have the nostalgia for Polly's that many seem to bubble over with, though I have come to enjoy an opportunity to go. Nestled up in the Knobs on the side of the road, Polly's has never not been bustling when I've visited. The atmosphere is more of a mountain diner on a curvy, Western road than something one finds in Southern Indiana. There are typically a handful of motorcycles and roadsters sprinkled amongst the more traditional transportation and a wide swath of people to match. I've only had a couple of items on the food menu. The fish sandwich is satisfactory, but the chicken simply tastes like salt. There's a reason it is called "Polly's Freeze" and not "Polly's Grill." The food isn't why you visit. You visit for the frozen deliciousness. The wide array or treats is amazing and can be overwhelming. There is most certainly something for anyone. Inside the small building, the service hums like a frantic beehive. There are just about as many people packed into that building as I think you can legally allow and each that I've dealt with is friendly, but seemingly near exhaustion. You will likely wait for your order, but there are certainly worse places to wait than this idyllic setting. read more

The big deal here is the vibe. Sitting in the shade of a big old tree, slurping down the sugary, empty calories of something cold and fattening is the absolute best way to spend an hour in the middle of July. The ice cream (soft serve) is good but pretty standard compared to any other soft serve. The portions and prices are fair. The service is quick and friendly. It'd be nice to know where the restrooms are, though, for the lactose intolerant among us. You know, just in case. read more
