There are simply no words to even describe how amazing this place is. Again, we just moved here and were told to go here and I am so glad we did and I would come back every day if my waistline could afford it. It is simply homemade ice cream sandwiches to die for. I would fly in to this state to get this if we didn't already live here now so I am excited to be able to frequent Rookie's as much as my waist and pocketbook can afford. Cookies are made on the spot and the various ice creams and milk come from local Homestead Creamery. Absolutely amazing times about 1000 is all I can say. read more

This place has the best ice cream sandwiches I've ever eaten in my life. The cookies are fresh, soft in the middle, and crisp on the outside. They have chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, or double chocolate cookies and vanilla, chocolate, mint chip, and espresso ice cream. Also, they have fresh milk on tap to enjoy with 3-a dozen cookies. The staff is also very friendly. Come on out and support this cute local place! read more

Rookie's - Food Trucks Near Me - Forest, Virginia

Wow! Definitely a hidden gem for sure! You may miss it as it's a small food truck to the side of Aylor's in Forest. The people couldn't be nicer and more helpful. There are several options on cookies and also ice cream. They use Homestead Creamery ice cream and milk, which I think is what sets them apart from a typical ice cream sandwich, along with the freshly made cookies. I got a deconstructed ice cream sandwich, which makes it easier to take with you. Best cookie sandwich ever! There will be a line at night and in the summer especially but worth the wait! read more

Delicious cookies!! The service was great as well. I definitely recommend going here. It was nice that they had vegan/ GF cookies, however it would be even better if they could add a vegan ice cream option. I would love if they made that improvement to the menu! read more

First time going the other day and I will forever be a fan of their ice cream and cookies. They won me over with the top notch customer service. The cookies are perfect to have ice cream in the middle, soft to eat but that special crunch as well. The vanilla ice cream is also amazing. Can't wait to go back and I will have to hold myself back from going everyday. read more

This place is quaint and unique. Simple idea, cookies and ice cream, make a sandwich out of it. The menu changes often for the flavors of cookies and ice cream. But you can always find something you like. Homemade cookies and homestead creamery ice cream. The atmosphere is cute and the service is outstanding. read more

So I've had this gift card from my daughter since last May-Mother's Day. I've used it a few times and decided today that I wanted ice cream. And here I am waiting in line and I thought I heard the F word repeatedly on the song over the sound system. I asked the young gentleman in front of me, to me sure. He thought so too but didn't seem bothered by it. It's my turn at the line and I ask if it's a radio or a playlist that we're listening to. The young lady seemed confused. I explained why I asked. I told her there was a young girl maybe 9/10 years old standing there and I personally found the song offensive. She said it was a selection of songs my the manager/owner. It was probably a mistake. I hope it was because it was very distasteful listening to while waiting to get ice cream. Mr. Manger/ Owner please check your playlist for profanity before you play music for your customers. YOUR ICE-CREAM IS ALWAYS GOOD! Thanks! read more

I normally love rookies, however, with COVID i do not feel like they are protecting their customers. Twice I have been and the employees have not worn masks as they prepared and took my order. Another employee today was blatantly eating a cookie behind the counter as other orders were being made. I felt mad and uncomfortable ordering. read more

CELIAC SAFE I have been to Rookie's in the past and was blown away with the taste of the cookie accompanied with delicious ice cream. However, I had one problem... I was undiagnosed with Celiac Disease. Which means at the first bite I was hurting myself and immediately felt that I needed to throw up. I haven't been there in over two years because you usually don't go back to a business that makes you feel ill right? WELL. I was diagnosed early this year with celiac and have been very cautious about going out to eat if I do at all. Today I went back after inquiring about the GLUTEN FREE cookie they offer and the employee were very knowledgeable about celiac cross contamination. Needless to say, I haven't been able to enjoy a delicious soft cookie in an incredibly long time and now I have a safe spot I can go to with my friends and be included in social events again!! read more

We were visiting family in Virginia recently and before we even left NJ, we were instructed that going to Mookie's would be on our short list of must-do's. Well we were not disappointed. I miss this place big time. Old tyme creamy delicious milk, rich and buttery ice cream, and homemade scrumptious cookies that grandma would be proud of! M=Mouth watering. O=Oh so good. O=REALLY Oh so good. K=Kookies beyond compare. I=I ain't lyin. E=Everyone will love it. S=Stop by...you'll wanna kiss me & say thanks! :) read more

Rookie's - Food Trucks Near Me - Forest, Virginia

I have been a Rookie's frequent since they opened and until my last visit have had nothing but pleasant experiences. I was extremely disappointed that the last time I visited none of the workers was wearing a mask amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite this mask being required for restaurant and food service workers, I was more disappointed in the blatant disregard for the well-being of others. Not to mention that these people are paying customers that are the backbone of your business so I would think you would place more value in taking care of them. I will not be back read more

Super super cute aesthetic. I went at night with some friends and the lights and everything were so adorable and pleasant. There was a backdrop that said Rookie's on the top and it was the perfect place to take pictures. The ice cream sandwiches are SO good. Freshly baked cookies with the perfect balance of ice cream. Good amount of parking and seats too. read more

Stopped by tonight while waiting on our pizzas from Sourdough Pizza Co. We took home a bakers dozen of the cookies and 2 ice cream sandwiches (classic chocolate chip with cookies and cream ice cream). Sooooo good! And super friendly people really makes you want to come back for more read more

I love their naturally gluten free cookies they are amazing! My family like the 2 huge cookies in between their yummy icecream. The employees are very friendly and kind! read more

Who doesn't love ice cream, cookies, and milk? Highlights offered by this Lynchburg staple include homemade, almost too-good-to-be-true cookies and fresh, local, creamy ice cream and milk from Homestead Creamery. The ice cream sandwich - a generous scoop of ice cream between two freshly baked cookies of your choice - is a popular classic, and a very delicious one at that! However my absolute favorite thing to get here is simply three cookies and a glass of milk. I've never tried a cookie or ice cream flavor here that I didn't like, but the double chocolate and the classic chocolate chip are both irresistibly incredible! Everything about the experience here is top notch, and it's just a fun place to grab dessert with some friends and hang out. The line gets long, but don't let that discourage you... it's totally worth the wait! read more

Great cookies and ice cream if you're looking for some dessert! I love that you can order online for pickup. Their cookie ice cream sandwiches are delicious! read more

If you don't like this place, you're wrong. The cookies are phenomenal and always fresh. The ice cream is great too. My personal recommendation is the ice cream sandwich "deconstructed" (2 cookies of your choice and the ice cream served in a cup) it's the best of both worlds. The "milk and cookies" choice is great too, as they serve milk from a local creamery. Definitely my favorite dessert spot in Lynchburg! read more

Ice cream sandwiches make the best desert. The hour long wait is well worth it. Crowd watching is the best in Eames summer evenings and nights. Classic, snickerdoodle, graham cracker and more cookies. Surrounding your ice cream of choice; espresso chip salted caramel, pumpkin, double chocolate and more. read more

Rookies never disappoints and the workers are always super nice and helpful! The cookies and ice cream are amazing and there is such a wonderful atmosphere! read more

Love Rookies. We like the cookies and ice cream and the sandwiches. Classic Chocolate Chip, snickerdoodle, are two of our all time favorites

This a great place to go to get some amazing hand-scooped ice cream and or gooey, fresh, hot delicious cookies!!! Great place for all ages especially teens cause of the community! The hours are on and off and the lines can be long but with a little bit of planning and patients it's a great place. read more

We had our daughter's graduation weekend celebration. I contacted them and asked to have 2 dozen ice cream cookie sandwiches for our guests. They were awesome to work with and I could make any combo of cookie and ice cream I wanted. I ordered with them a few days before . They were ready on time agreed and I picked them up . My group LOVED them!! Perfect way to end our barbecue dinner. We love rookies and have been there before. It never disappoints!! Thank you guys! read more

Rookie's is INCREDIBLE. I am very appreciative of their continual effort to refine their business and offer options for those with various allergies. Go check them out! read more

~4.5~ They changed the name but to me it will forever be mookies haha so lemme tell you bout this place YALL they've set the bar high for ice cream cookie sandwiches. Tubs of cookie dough are made from scratch. Ice cream is DELISH and CREAMY. I've eaten here many times to say this is the best dessert place in town. They are on the sweet side though because of course ice cream and cookies together will taste extra sweet so that's why I rated 4.5. Other than that, they're sandwiches are superb! Ive heard of places where they sold stale cookies with the ice cream but not this place! Fresh every time. Definitely recommend when coming to Lynchburg/Forest. read more

Great pizza, friendly ppl! First time we stopped! My dad always said hole in wall places are the best! It was awesome! Really you gotta try it! read more

AH-MAY-ZING! We live 3 hours away and have literally traveled to Lynchburg for the purpose of getting Rookie's while we're there. They catered to our wedding over a year ago as well, and they were a big hit! Everything is always delicious! read more

This place is awesome. Super unique and the quality did not disappoint. Highly recommend to all!

This new hotspot will never get old... seriously the most delicious ice cream sandwiches, the cutest outdoor setting, and the sweetest couple who owns it. You will become addicted read more

Love this place. It was my first time trying this place and it was awesome. I tried the the classic cookie with vanilla icecream! Friendly staff and it is very clean. read more

As an ice cream lover, I knew I had to try Rookie's ice cream sandwiches. They didn't disappoint! I had the double chocolate cookie with espresso chip ice cream and it was amazing, even on a rainy day. The staff was so friendly. I hope to visit again soon! read more

great texture and flavor. Amazing chocolate chip cookie with black rasberry ice cream! it is the best ice cream sandwich you will ever have!

Mookies as excellent cookies! I will be a forever fan of their double chocolate chip. They also have a great staff! Aaron and the rest of the workers there are always quick, professional and entertaining! read more

Homestead Creamery vanilla ice cream, between two soft chocolate chip cookies! No further explanation needed.

Such a cute atmosphere, excellent customer service (they threw in an extra cookie just cause the lady helping us said it was her favorite), and very yummy! The ice cream was creamy and the cookies homemade. A great deal... cheaper than what I expected it to cost. read more

Great ice cream sandwiched. My only advice rename classic to chocolate chip cookie which are the same. Unbelievably good.

I am impressed with their gluten free cookies. you wouldn't be able to tell the difference which is pretty hard to find. good job Rookies!

So cool and great cookies and ice cream. I need to go here once more before I leave VA

Delicious! Skip the overrated Mr. Goodies and come here instead. Nice setup, too, with the picnic benches.

Rookies not only has the best cookies & ice cream in Lynchburg, but the friendliest staff. Despite being busy, they are always friendly and relatable. The cookies will leave you drooling. Great place for big groups because the service is quick. Great job Rookies! read more

Awesome cookies meet awesome Homestead Creamery ice cream. The combination is wonderful. The staff is very friendly, fast & courteous. My only dislike was the wooden spoons. Some of the ice cream will squeeze out of the cookies into the little serving tray so you will need a spoon to finish this treat. While I appreciate the eco-friendliness of the wooden spoon, I hate the texture of fresh wood in my mouth unlike a seasoned wooden mixing spoon in your kitchen. There are other eco-friendly alternatives I wish they would offer. I thought about going with four stars but didn't feel that was fair to take away a full star for a utensil and since I can't give them a 4.5, I went ahead with the five. read more
