Heyyyyyyyyyy you guyyyyyyyyyys! Sal's never disappoints! Any time of year they are the place to go! I've only ordered ice cream and ices and each one I've had tops the last. Love the coffee ice cream, the lemon and cherry ice, the banana pudding ice cream. Always fresh, always friendly staff, drive up and drive out or hang on the benches in the back. Great spot! Let's eat!!! read more

Sal's Italian Ice is some of the best Italian Ice I've ever had. Whenever I'm in Sanford, I love to stop by! They have many choices and they are super hospitable and friendly. Unfortunately they had run out of mango! But, they have quite a number of choices, so I found other tropical flavors that go well with the ice cream. The large gelati is under $7 and the portion is huge! I was really happy to cool down with this treat as summer is in full swing! The pineapple was good, but I really loved the coconut and passion fruit! They also offer traditional ice cream, but I always stick with the italian ice. The location is in a bit of a high traffic area, but you can go on the street behind Walgreens and go down, turn right and turn right into Sal's. Hope you love Sal's as much as I do! read more

they have a good variety of ice cream offerings, but last time I went I asked for a lid and was told the manager does not want lids. My ice cream got on me and my seat. Lids would be great to have. read more

Great soft serve and topping selection. They can't do some topping on a cone but they offer a cone on top. read more

Delicious ice cream and the ease of drive thru. Custard ice cream is the best and they do it best

This place has hands down the BEST ICE CREAM you will ever have!! The ice cream is rich in flavor and has a very thick and creamy consistency. My family and I have come here a few times now, and I can tell you, there's no other place that has ice cream as good as Sal's. The service is always on point. I've never had an issue with the staff. If you are looking for an ice cream place to take your family, this is definitely the spot! I should warn you, once you have this ice cream, you will not like any other ice cream shops hahaha. read more

The ice cream is delicious! They have a great selection of flavors and toppings to choose from. My personal favorite is cookies and cream and the ice cream is very creamy there. The service is also pretty good, they tend to serve with a smile on their face, a nice attitude, and respond to you fast! I don't have much about the ambiance, but I do enjoy the fact the building has a big ice cream cone. Whether you sit outside at the tables or eat in your car, I guarantee you will have a nice time choosing Sal's to eat ice cream! read more

I have been coming to this spot since they opened. The soft serve is my favorite. Usually when there's a line it gets backed up because they usually don't have enough employees. This doesn't stop me from coming there for my ice cream craving. Keep up the good work Sal's. read more

Me and my family visit Sals regularly. The ice cream is so good. Me and my daughter get the swirl (chocolate and vanilla) and my husband gets a large vanilla with extra hot fudge. We spend like $20 each time on one small and two large soft serves in a cup. It's a drive through but they're fast. You can also try flavors if you want just ask! The Italian ice is really good as well. Great and fast service every time! read more

Best Italian Ice place in Seminole county!!!! Hands down! I can't explain it you's just have to try it!

After a day at Ponce Inlet Beach, you must stop for ice cream on the way home. Highly recommend this little place. They have ice cream, Italian ice and soft serve, with a fair selection of flavors. I can say the cookies & cream, birthday cake and strawberry hand-dipped ice cream were a hit. The ice cream was creamy. You also have option to mix Italian ice with your ice cream of choice. The place is quite small with no indoor seating. There are a couple of tables out front. One window for walk-up orders and a drive -thru. Luckily, it was not crowded when we stopped by. read more

Tiny spot. Drive thru only. Right off of 17-92. They have a good choice of flavor combinations that sets them apart from other shops! They have PISTACHIO and SPUMONI! Being from NY, I don't remember the last time I saw a place have these flavors available! Ice cream was AMAZING! Like no joke probably the best and creamiest I've cream in the area. THIS IS THE ICE CREAM SPOT!! I originally came for a gelato with half soft serve and half ice but when I saw those flavors, I couldn't pass them up!! One of the drive thru ladies was nice and the other one looked very unhappy. But the ice cream was AMAZING!! read more

I loved this place when I lived in Sanford. I went for a treat once a week. My recent visit was very disappointing. The Italian ice flavors were off, BIG TIME! The vanilla ice was pretty tasty though. read more

Sals is my go-to when it comes to ice cream. I usually either get a gelato or some ice cream, and it's always excellent. One thing I recommend is getting ice cream with their Italian ice. Because their Italian ice is sometimes a little too sweet for me and the ice cream is a great neutralizer. If you're also looking to get ice cream on the go, they do have a drive-through, so it's swift. It's also great for the price. I'm glad I found this place close to my house read more

Although I have a serious sweet tooth, I try to stay away from ice cream and milkshakes as much as possible. It's not that I don't love these wonderful treats, it's just that I try to keep this gut in check! However, it's good to know that when I do get the itch, I can now hit up Sal's which is really close to where I live. The "single scoop" of cookie dough was huge and tasted great. I could swear it had more flavor than all the other times I've had this flavor at other places. And don't roll your eyes, but my only complaint was that there were so many chocolate chip and cookie dough pieces! The strawberry shortcake was also excellent. It had actual pieces of cake and real strawberry swirls! Both were really good. The other great thing about Sal's is their prices. To pay about $7 for both was a shock to me since I had went to the nearby Dairy Queen a couple times and spent almost that much for just myself. Anyway, Sal's rocks and if you've never been then you need to go. It's a really cute spot with drive thru and even a couple tables in the back in case you want to just hang there while devour your cold treats! read more

WE LOVE SALS! Their ice cream is probably the best I have had in the area. It's a tiny spot packed with big flavor along 17-92 in Sanford. They have a walk up window or drive thru. When we found out they serve Spumoni we felt like we were back home in Brooklyn getting our ice cream from Spumoni Gardens lol! We definitely found our go to ice cream spot! read more

Some of the best ice cream ive ever had. highly recommend. Many flavors to choose from. Ice cream, Italian ice!

I had a very disgusting encounter with one of the managers at the establishment. My mother and I decided to bring my nieces to this so-called "Family Establishment" just to be harassed with vulgar language in front of two little girls. This was unacceptable so I decided to call and was told to go "F*ck myself" and was hung up on. There was no use of vulgar language used upon our side nor any disrespect. This was completely foul for a place with a slogan of "Bring your Family to Meet Ours". It's sad that this happened because I've been going here ever since I was a little girl. Do better read more

My girls love the place. We drive through once per week after school for great ice cream. But today was different. Attendant Keyianna was rude to us. Made us feel like we were wasting her time. At one point, my girl hesitated on what she wanted to order and Keyianna shut the window on us. I guess she went to check her phone or whatever. I almost drove off but I knew my girls would be disappointed. Keyianna came back to the window with a "what do you want" attitude. I'm just not sure if the ice cream is worth the customer treatment. read more

Apparently coming here on a Friday evening 8pm is a horrible choice. Normally we're greeted by friendly and welcoming staff... tonight, the lady was smacking her gum and clearly in a horrible mood. When my husband asked if they had Oreo milkshakes she said no, his reply was I thought you served milkshakes.... no response. So he browsed the menu and ordered one. He also ordered an ice cream with sprinkles... which he repeated 3 times rainbow sprinkles not sure if she heard him. And No sprinkles so we had to pay a second time, her response was.. well.. that will cost extra. No sorry about that, no customer service at all. Once we got home my daughters Ice cream had blonde Hairs in it! Discussing... long hairs . This is normally our go to ice cream shop... and honestly more then likely our last visit. Really disappointed, there's a gentlemen & younger lady brown hair that is also friendly and kind never had any issues before. Extremely disappointed and just gross. Basically threw away $11 read more

One of the best spots for ice cream, gelato, and other yummy desserts. Highly recommend.

Sal's is a cute little place that offers some unique and refreshing frozen treats. We ordered a mango and banana gelato, the mango was full of flavor but my banana wasn't that exciting to be honest. The two textures are almost incompatible in my opinion, either could stand on their own but the mixture wasn't that impressive. With the temperatures in the lower 90s I feel there are better choice so it was just okay. The staff got our order out quickly but the silents was almost stoic... read more

Sal's a little Drive thru spot located just on 17-92. It's pretty unique considering those no place like it in the area. Okay, first off I'll try my best to not compare to their big competitor. But I will say, they were really nice and their drive-thru was quick. I also like their menu, as they offer other great deserts besides regular ice cream, Italian ice and gelatis. I had their Sundaes long ago and they were great and their shakes made my kids happy so that's a good thing. This time I ordered a Pina colada gelati and it was just umm, okay. Maybe it's the lack of flavor but it was very sweet and I couldn't taste pineapple or coconut. Maybe I'll have to try another flavor to write a great review but for now, 3 stars. read more

This is my first time having a five star experience at a business followed by a one star experience. I am so appalled and disappointed in the service I was (not) provided. My husband and I frequented this place when we lived in Sanford. We recently moved to Longwood so we haven't visited in about a month. We were in the Sanford area and made sure to make enough time to get there on a Sunday before 9. We parked in the drive thru at 8:55. Not even a minute after the young male employee walked out and said 'unfortunately the car in front of you is going to be the last car of the night.' I pointed out that it was 8:55 and he said 'it is?' looked at his phone then said 'hold on' and went back inside. We sat in the drive thru and he did not come back out so I figured we were in the clear. There was another car that pulled behind me in the drive thru a couple minutes later and no one came out and said anything to them. The passenger in the car behind me hopped out a minute later and waited by the walkup window and was served a couple minutes after. As soon as she was served, the man she was with left the drive thru and parked the car. We finally made it up to the window at 9:07 (we were the last ones in the drive thru) and the older gentleman emoloyee was locking the window and yelled through the window 'we're closed.' I told him that we got there at 8:55 and he argued with me saying he sent the other guy out at 8:58. After a few more verbal exchanges he said something along the lines of 'fine, what do you want?' Because of the appalling series of events that occurred before he finally decided he was going to service us, we quickly decided that Sal's did not deserve our business at that moment or from here on out. My husband and I tried to look at the positive and said it was a sign we shouldn't be eating ice cream. Unfortunately for Sal's they lost loyal customers. I hope they can learn from their poor service and improve upon it. read more

Good service, you're only allowed ONE sample per person which is very stupid if your new to the place and want to try their ice creams, it was good though. I Got blue monster and my bf got mint chip and razzle berry. He had to pay and extra $1.50 to substitute ice cream flavors mixed with a gelato. They also said they would have to charge us 27 cents for a small cup. I highly recommend just going to Jeremiah's Italian ice or somewhere else instead of dealing with bs for a ice cream. read more

I love Sal's! They're poppin! Lol out of all the well known places to get ice cream, this is a hidden gem! They have the best selection of hand dipped ice cream! I've tried almost all of their flavors and my personal fav is birthday cake! Out of all the birthday cake ice creams I've tried from numerous places no one beats Sal's Birthday Cake flavor! It's my go to ice cream shop! read more

This place is absolutely amazing. My guilty pleasure!! I had my best friend visit from Colorado & my Mom from Maryland and brought them to Sals & they said it was some of the best ice cream they have ever had! Glad I live close. read more

This is definatley a great little place. I'm not sure how long they've been around, but they definatley get plenty of customers. I went there with my choice already planned based on their detailed website but was dissapointed to find that the flavors listed there didn't match what they actually had, so be cautious of that. I was left making a decision quickly and worried that I wouldn't like it. Well I worried for nothing as the banana gelati was yuuummmmeee! Hubby got the strawberry shortcake Sunday and couldn't finish it because there was too much of it to eat. Can you imagine that? I can't wait to go back again and try something else on the menu. Oh and for any dog lovers, the dogs get their ice cream free, afterall, without pockets, where would they put their money? ;) Just look for their sign that explains it exactly that way. My only thoughts on what could be better is more parking and somewhere to sit. They have only about 3 parking spots and two benches. You could probably park at the shopping plaza next door if need be. read more

The ice cream at Sal's is really good. I typically get a hot fudge sundae but the rest of the family gets cones and itialian ice. Everyone loves the flavors they have and the sundae's are really good. You basically get to add whatever toppings you would like and they are generous. I highly recommend it for drive thru or using their walk up window. read more
