    Upside down banana split! Yessss to that.
    L S.

    5 stars for happiness. 5 stars for tastiness. Orange sherbet swirled with vanilla custard, is a dreamy Dream cone. Specialty treat is the upside down banana split. Road side custard stand with a walk-up window since mid 1940's. Plenty of picnic tables for enjoying any of the large selection of goodies that make the summer extra tasty. This is good custard!!!!

    Get "The Dream" with crunchies on top!!! So good and refreshing. There was a long line when we went but the line went fast. The staff were very friendly and did a great job. There's a reason this place is famous it's so good.

    Dirt Sundae, Marshmallow Sundae, Dream soft serve

    I got their peanut butter parfait, he reminded me of the ones I got when I was a kid from DQ. It was very good.

    Long lines. It's just soft serve ice cream. It's alright but like, maybe not that special? Cool for Sesser!

    Small town ice cream and burgers at its best. Stopping in a time or two is a must when camping at the lake or out for a ride. Yum!
