It would be crazy to compare the hard, thick-ass Bruester's chud to the classic smooth 'scream stylings of Carolina Cones. The crazy lighting inside, the train that goes around ceiling, all the 25 cent to $1 machines, and the swinging hook game outside. There's so much to love about this place. And sure, you can get a literal cherry on top, but the proverbial cherry on top are the classic tubes that play outside that make a summer night feel cinematic.

Arrived on a Tuesday night close to closing time. There were 4 of us. Service was at the window and…read morepretty quick. Portions were huge. They are located in a basic strip mall so not much for ambience / character. The mint chocolate chip ice cream lacked depth of flavor but was still pretty good. What I really didn't like - the young girl that made my ice cream cone held the cone over the garbage can to add the chocolate sprinkles. And I mean almost in the garbage can. Hopefully it is a dedicated can for such work. If not... yikes. The cone was excellent.

On a trip this past summer to the Charlotte/Concord/Kannapolis area, we stopped at this Handel's…read morelocation for some ice cream on our way out of town. We used to have a Handel's location closer to us, and we miss it greatly, so we make sure to stop anytime we are near one! Handel's is located in a strip mall-type area, in a corner unit. Specifically, it is located right off of 77 and W Catawba Avenue. There is plenty of parking for the complex, so that will not be an issue. The store has plenty of visible signage to point you in the right direction. Our visit was on a Thursday evening in July, a little after 8:00 PM. There were several groups enjoying ice cream, but there was not an overwhelming line. I believe we only had two or three people in front of us before we were able to order. The area outside of the store is not overwhelmingly large, but they have a roped-off area to show where the line should form to avoid it spilling into the dining areas. Some Handel's locations have an inside, but this location is completely outdoors. So, to place your order you simply walk up to the windows, and can then enjoy their patio seating or take your items to-go. When you approach the windows, you will see all of the signage, menu items, and flavors. The flavors were located on a sandwich board on the ground, which made it difficult to see if you were not directly in front of the windows. I could see this being a challenge if there was a long line, as one would not be able to see the flavor lists until right before ordering. We were waited on by a few of the staff members. Since it was not that busy when we ordered, they seemed to be splitting duties. My fiance ordered a Small Cake Cone of Key Lime Pie, and I got a 4 Scoop Sampler with Frosted Animal Cookie, Monkey Business, Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie, and Blue Moon. I thought the scoops on the 4 Scoop were somewhat small, but no complaints other than that. Additionally, we ordered a Dogster for our dog, and of course he loved it! Personally, the Frosted Animal Cookie was the only flavor I had not tried previously. It was alright...it is very sweet and truthfully did not remind me much of the cookie (besides the actual inclusions of animal cookies in the ice cream). It was made well, but just personally not for me. I have had all of the other flavors before, and they were all great. I love the uniqueness of Blue Moon, and also how refreshing Key Lime Pie always is. Since it was such a nice night, we enjoyed our ice cream on the patio. I love the lights they have strung up over the seating. There were probably around 5 to 6 tables, and a few benches around the perimeter of the patio. I am not sure how busy this location gets, but I could see there being a lack of seating during peak business times. However, we had no issue grabbing a table to sit at during this visit. I thought the prices were in line with what I would expect from a Handel's. Being that I am not from this area, it is hard to say if it is in line with other ice cream shops in the area. For all three of our items, it was around $15 with tax. My only complaint is that the Dogster was $3, which seems high. The staff were friendly and conversational. Since there was no line, I was talking with the one staff member about the Handel's that used to be near us, and enjoyed learning more about this particular location through our conversation. Overall, we enjoyed checking out a Handel's location we had never been to before. This is in a nice area, has plenty of parking, is clean, and has a nice atmosphere. My only critiques were the positioning for the flavors in relation to the line, pricing on some items, and the portion of the 4 Scoop Sampler. However, do not let that deter you from stopping here for a sweet treat if you are in the area!

BUT thanks to the helpful employee we were able to find something that we like even better! (Surprise Surprise) The New Orleans Praline Pecan! Try it and thank me later; We will definitely be back.

I didn't find it as good, melted so easily and toppings felt less. I've said it before at other locations, and I'll say it again - you don't see what they are charging you, and you don't get any kind of receipt. It's a deceptive practice as somehow I've been charged $48 for 4 medium concretes. Andy's is expensive, but it's at minimum $8 more than the advertised price with taxes. Was I charged for 5 and only given 4? Was additional fluff added? I'll never know, but I won't be going back to this location.

We came across Whit's Frozen Custard, which was nearby. Ice Cream or Frozen Custard is always a good thing anywhere. Certainly after a long day of travel, it is a welcomed experience, no doubt. We came to Whit's Frozen Custard in Huntersville on a Veteran's Day holiday evening. We were thankful they were still open around 7pm. It was standing room only, since we wanted to order something and head back on the road. It was a small enough ice cream shop that we were just happy to be there. You could feel the subtle ambiance that life is good and things are fine. With that said, I ended up with a pint of chocolate ice cream and my friend had a 2 scoops of her favorite flavor. They already had pre packed pints in the freezer, so I just did that to save time and not have the staff pack a fresh one. We spent at most 20 minutes here from start to finish. It was a delicious treat after arriving in CLT international airport and spent the evening, stopping at Huntersville. It was definitely well needed. The overall experience here at Whit's Frozen Custard here in Huntersville, North Carolina was good and typical at the same time. The staff here was great in taking care of us and the ice cream was delicious. They were friendly and they smiled more than I noticed. I'm not sure what the difference is between genuine ice cream and frozen custard is but, the taste seems to be no difference. Or very little. The prices here are very reasonable, but if you want added value, you should consider the pint or a quart and save the rest in the freezer for a rainy day. Unless of course, you are buying for a party. My experience here at Whit's Frozen Custard was delicious. I'd definitely recommend coming here, if you are in the area, going to or from CLT international airport, consider stopping by for some ice cream. They make it homemade and its fresh every day. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself. Whit's Frozen Custard ice cream shop in Huntersville, North Carolina is located at 10410 Arahova Drive in Huntersville. They accept major credit cards and cash, if you have it. As far as parking goes, they have a small parking lot for customers. There is regional public transportation services that come here from the CLT airport, so that's pretty cool. Just search the one that's right for your situation. And of course, ideally, having your own car or a rented one would help a lot with time. Then there's Uber and Lyft, if you need them for your travel needs too. For the most part though, it was very nice to be here and maybe hope to be here again soon, if my future travels permit to do so. Definitely a sweet treat to be had. Definitely recommended if you enjoy all the flavors of the rainbow. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Support local! A+
