If you have kids there are plenty of places for them to play after they get ice cream. The only problem is the directions are off on where the stand is located.

Sure, there are no prices on the menu, but my order was very reasonably priced. There is plenty of covered outdoor seating and everything was clean and modern in a town where that is not always the case! No complaints here! I wish people would put more thought into their reviews before they give a place 3 stars because when they asked for extra ketchup they only got two (or something equally as petty). ‍ Great job girls! I'll be back. Thank you!

They also had pretty good burgers and hot dogs. The chain started in Illinois, and at its peak had over 1800 locations. There are only 22 stand alone spots now, 6 in Virginia, 1 each in North Carolina & South Carolina. We were on our way back from Richmond when I saw this little place, and we swung to grab a snack. We ordered a cone of Vanilla, and a Chili Dog. The chili dog was very good, but the ice cream was outstanding, as good as we'd remembered it being!

Our 8 year old girl got a banana split and really enjoyed it. Our other 8 year old girl got an Oreo milkshake and said it was as good as Dairy Queen. Our 5 year old boy got a cone with chocolate ice cream in a chocolate shell and really enjoyed it. I got a Reese's Cup blitzen and it was very good with the vanilla ice cream and Reese's Cup mixed in and was hard. The blitzen was way better than Dairy Queen. My wife got a hot fudge brownie and there were two brownies with vanilla ice cream in between. She said it was good but the brownie could have tasted better. Overall, we all really enjoyed it. It is now call Sundae's Restaurant now which was why our phone map app didn't recognize "Tastee Freez" when we typed it in.

We placed our order for bacon cheeseburgers with lettuce and tomato at the service window. While waiting we couldn't help noticing how dirty the surroundings were.

And we waited for 10 minutes to receive food. The fries were terrible (cold and soft), the burger patty was chewy (may have been old), and the chicken bites were mushy. After this visit, I am officially done with Sonic. We have it a try after not being to a Sonic in years, it ended up being a waste of time with everything going in the trash. I wish I could give this place 0 stars.

He even acknowledged he had never made a Misty slushie and did it wrong. We asked him for a refund, to issue a gift card or to cancel the entire order and resubmit it with the correct amount. He told us he couldn't. I asked him to speak with his manager. Treyvon, the manager, came over and rudely told us there was nothing he could do. We asked if they could call their Manager and they said maybe and disappeared, ignored us and stopped talking and avoided us completely. We called the DQ 866 complaint number and the said they would forward the complaint to the manager (who no one could get in touch with). Before leaving, I asked Treyvon, you are saying that if I were to speak with your manager, you would tell him that you do not have an option to fix any mistake you make in the QSR system. That you don't know how to issue a refund, a gift card or cancel an order and resubmit if you make a mistake. He said, yes. We don't know how to do that. I really didn't know what to say at that point other than to leave with the worst and most incompetent food experience I have ever had. AVOID THIS DQ!! If going south on 95, try the one just 20 mins away. If coming north, avoid it. As much as we love blizzards and DQ, it wasn't worth 30 mins of our time. DQ and the management team and owner, you can do better. Please train your people!!
