We got the dipped cones here. I think they offered about a dozen candy shell dips! Maybe more. You can select vanilla, chocolate or swirl soft serve. Then, pick your dip. The woman makes all the dips herself. I got the vanilla with key lime. I liked it. The shell is fairly thin. Maybe if you like it thicker she can dip twice? The ice cream was good BUT melted pretty quick so be ready to chow down. It seemed it was melting faster inside the shell than say a DQ cone. I do say that the cone is the right size; it's not a tower and you can get through it fast enough. My top would be to get a cup dip. Problem solved!

It pains me to write a 3 star review for this place because I've had previous positive experiences…read more I sat at the bar around 5p with the idea of getting an early dinner and rolling out quickly for an early day tomorrow. There were maybe 3 other people sitting there when I arrived. I ordered the chef salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing and the Turkey Melt which I had once before and recall it being THE best melt I ever had. When I got my salad, it had ranch dressing. I asked the waitress what was the dressing and she said, it's our special made ranch dressing, it's sooo good. I said 'I ordered balsamic vinaigrette', she said 'oh my, you're right, we'll get this fixed for you'. Oh well, I thought it was simple. When I got the Turkey Melt, it was so messed up, I could not EVEN pick it up, it was sliding off the panini. I had a guy sitting next to me who could not even order a pizza. He didn't know what his choices were. When the waitress told him his options, he said ' wait a minute, I have to make a call'. He was talking to someone about what he could have on his pizza. When the waitress came back, he couldn't remember what he wanted, finally he just said 'I just want cheese'. Then this couple at the end of the bar are SO loud, everyone is looking at them. They were locals because the kept talking about local stuff. Then as more people came in, they all went to the end of the bar to see this couple and all of a sudden it felt like a party. I was enjoying the HDTV, it had the golf Channel, ESPN and CNBC all at the same time, three of my favs' Then the sound of rolling THUNDER and all the channels went blank. It was more than I could deal with, I ask for my bill and a go box.

The crust was perfectly cooked and the toppings were plentiful. YOU MUST CALL AHEAD to place your order with a credit card. Cash is not accepted and neither are walk-ins. When you place your order you will be given a time to pick it up. I arrived 10 minutes early and waited in the parking area. While waiting, one of the staff came out and signaled me from the door that my pizza was ready. He verified my name for the order and handed me a pipping hot cardboard box. I've read a few complaints about their ordering/payment method, but I personally think it's a brilliant system. It allows them to do what they do well, which is deliver a great pizza at a reasonable price hot and fresh out of the oven. If I lived anywhere in the area, this would surely be my go to place for my pizza fix!

When the weather is in the 90's it doesn't matter if you're on the beach or in the mountains the…read morebest way to lower your core temperature is to indulge in some ice cold creamy ice cream and that was definitely my plan when I whipped into this little snack bar - ice cream was my only agenda today but there are plenty of other offerings if you looking for something more savory. This little independently owned shop has limited hours on limited days of the week, there nothing like an owner who opens when he wants to and serves up a great selection of novelties, this almost always ensure you'll get quality products and it also means you'll probably have to pay up a little although I found the moderate pricing to be reasonable. The menus are posted everywhere once you climb the flight of stairs to the porch level - like more traditional ice cream stands there's a ordering window and a pickup window this to me signifies this place can get pretty busy although today that wasn't the case, of course I arrived a few minutes after opening. This place seems to offer unlimited flavors of ice cream and as I reviewed all the postings the only distraction was a couple of teenage boys seating on the bench beside the railing - one was crunching on his cup full of ice while the other was sucking on lemons he retrieved from his empty cup of lemonade, both were a little annoying but I was here for ice cream so it's wasn't hard to ignore the ill-mannered children although they arrived here in a early 2000 mini truck that hadn't seen a car wash in months. We found a picnic table under a big oak tree that provided shade to enjoy our treat and far enough away from the ice cruncher and lemon sucker to relax and suck down our shakes, I was bound and determined to do a little straw sucking to get some payback but unfortunately the two departed before I got to the bottom of my cup. We ordered a Banana and North Carolina Peach Shake in separate cups of course the smooth ice cream was filled with freshly sliced bananas and delicious peaches that kept clogging up the straws (that's a great sign for me it reminded me of my childhood when you had to pull the straw and do a reverse slurp to clean the fruit from within). The owners were friendly but focused and the little windows only provided a small portal to the inside which I thought was rather comical - a hand appeared to take the payment then it appeared again to hand over the product. It was a great experience over-all and the shakes were delicious, this is definitely a gem in the mountain forrest and deserves a visit again and again when in the area...

Everything we had was fresh and cooked when ordered not pre cooked - Tea and sodas are self serve and parm cheese, oregano, red pepper flakes along with silverware there to grab as needed, 2. Service: excellent - our waitress was friendly and checked on us 3. Ambiance: it's an 80's decorated pizza parlor- 80's paraphernalia, music, tv programs, videos games. Take a look at all the pez dispensers along the wall. Extras: 4. there is an extra room attached to restaurant -- looked like and ice cream area but it had a few games to play 5.

This fabulous riverfront tavern in the Village of Chimney Rock serves up one of the best burgers…read moreI've ever tasted, along with a great selection of craft beers. My Smokehouse Burger was not only massive, but also dripping with BBQ flavor, with the crisp onion rings adding a delicious texture to the perfectly cooked patty. My wife enjoyed the restaurant's signature Riverwatch Burger -- a more traditional choice that was just as large and almost as delicious. Riverwatch says it serves the best burgers in North Carolina, and it's hard to argue with that claim. There are nearly two dozen different burgers on the menu, and they all look amazing. If burgers aren't your thing, the restaurant also serves salads, sandwiches, hot dogs and other fare. But they're famous for their burgers, so find one that fits your taste and dive in. The beer selection here is also terrific, with a number of local and regional NC crafts on tap and in bottles. And the service on our recent visit was outstanding. Seating is available outside or on the spacious deck overlooking the Broad River, which is a great place to enjoy a good meal and a fantastic view of the Hickory Nut Gorge and the distinctive Chimney Rock, towering high above the valley. Like much of this area, Riverwatch endured traumatic damage during Hurricane Helene, but reopened in September 2025. Well worth the drive from anywhere in North or South Carolina!
