I thought the place would be packed but oddly it was not. There was a line of cars in the drive thru, but inside it was only one large group ahead of me. I knew almost immediately something was off this visit. I soon realized there was only one young employee working all alone. One person on a Friday night on one of the first 80 degree days makes no sense. Later, he had to come around the front of the case yo find a flavor. He stated he was new and did not have the placement memorized yet. A new employee alone on a Friday night?!?!?! I asked if someone had called in and he said yes, but elaborated the staff is allowed to pick shifts. If true it is not working and will have a bad long term effect on the sales. I gave the lone employee great credit for sticking out the shift and continuing to slug through. However, it does not inspire confidence in returning soon. Next issue was the lack of my flavor. I loved the first two seasons when they had Turkish Coffee. The last couple of years they carried a much less coffee"y" flavor, but at least they had something coffee. Tonight no coffee anything. My second go to is banana pie which had a chocolate where the tag was placed. I waited 15ish minutes for my turn to ask if they had coffee and when I was told no I thanked the dedicated employee and left. I love supporting local businesses, and I am a huge ice cream lover so I hated seeing such a favorite in times past have such an off night. I hope the management steps up if they have call offs to pick up the slack and work or they find a new better scheduling plan. Next Summer they won't be here if this continues all Summer.

When we got there, we realized it was only indoor seating, so we got our ice cream and pup cups to go and eat near the cars. (Cute little shop, though!) My friend and I both got the Honey B, which was a big #yum. And the 3 doggos with us thoroughly enjoyed their pup cups.

We tried four flavors and all of them were terrible. They were incredibly over churned, which made they grainy/icy and absolutely disgusting. The peanut butter ice cream was also the only one of the four that had any actual flavor. Then of course is the fact that you sit there with the grumpy employees with no music playing in there. It's just awkward. All in all a truly horrible experience and we won't be going back.

We have a local shop like this in Dayton, but not as good. We went to another local ice cream…read moreplace but it had closed down for the season. We saw this one, and figured we wouldn't be very thrilled because of the lack of information in Yelp. Well this is the first time a woman will be admitting she was wrong, and publicly to boot. We walked in and was greeted by the young owner who is a family man. Under 35 and a business owner is impressive. We spoke a bit about the flavors and his marketing ideas, how they figured out the price and make it low for their customers and still turn a profit. We had about 12 choices of flavors and then add the swirl option. A couple of the machines were down, but had more than enough options. We mixed our flavors and then went to the toppings. There was a great variety of hard crunches and then syrups and such. He then proceeds to tell us on Tuesday's it is buy one get one free. Heck yes! The yogurt was awesome and selection was great. What I loved is that it was a fixed price and not by Weight. We shall stop back if we are in the area again.

This is a small business owned by a mother and daughter up in Mt. Summit. Jacob's Orchard -which is…read moregreat- is another stop if you're up in this area. It's north of New Castle. The shop is in an old bank. It's 111 years old!!!! It still has the vault! It's so pretty inside. They did a great job on it. Behind the store a lady plants sunflowers every year. Thousands of sunflowers bloom! She said people will stop and just aww at them because it's so many. They sell candles, soaps, clothing, decor and ice cream! They have a nice little area where you can buy scoops of ice cream. They even make fresh banana splits! This truly is a small business that has a story just by using that bank to give it new life. Not if but when I visit again! :-)

We went for the Mother's Day smorgasbord with a total of 14 family members. They gave us a huge…read moretable close to the buffet. The restaurant is extremely clean and well organized. They have a huge, huge selection on the smorgasbord. There are lots of meats, vegetables and salads. There are a few choices for vegetarians. (but not as many) The prices are reasonable for all of the choices and courses. They have a large salad buffet with twelve different dressing to choose from for your salad. (They do have fish for pescatarians but it is breaded. ) A few of the sides, such as the mashed potatoes were a bit bland. It may have just been because Sunday was so busy and the tables were full. And they have a large dessert bar packed full of cakes, pies, puddings, and ice cream. The cherry delight was a favorite at our table! We did not feel rushed and had plenty of time to enjoy our meal and visit with family. Our waitress, Amy, was kind and attentive. We thought it was a great option for Mother's Day. If I come back into town for another special occasion, I would absolutely go back!

Went for Easter smorgasbord. It was reservation only. The buffet was kinda boring offering mostly…read morebland , cheap things, salads. The ham was flavorless sliced walmart ham, the meatballs were frozen and the only other meat offered was some sort of sliced beef that was dry as a bone. The atmosphere was nice tho and the staff were dressed nicely. All in all, if your looking for salads and bland food, the smorgasbord will suit you. Otherwise, order off the menu, but if the smorgasbord is that basic, the menu may be as well.

Grannies Cookie Jar & Ice Cream Parlor is a Metamora, Indiana icon, though it may be weird to call…read moreanything in this historic Franklin County town an actual "icon." There's quite a bit you know about me if you've followed my reviews for any length of time. This likely includes my long friendship with fellow Yelp Elites Rick G. and Holly G. - in fact, I performed their wedding ceremony! The three of us have actually collaborated on quite a few projects over the years, either due to Rick's music and comedy or because of my long history of activism and charity work. Frequently, our collaborations combine Rick and Holly's creativity with my activist spirit. For a couple years, Rick and Holly owned a shop in Metamora called Mosaic Learn & Play - I, in turn, owned a small charity bookstore within the walls of Mosaic. While I never spent nearly as much time in Metamora as did Rick and Holly, I spent my fair share of time there and grew to appreciate the picturesque, friendly town. Rick and Holly's wedding was even in Metamora! As is true of most historic towns, accessibility can definitely be an issue in Metamora. Truthfully, I'd say there's more that's not accessible than there actually is accessible in the town. Grannies is most certainly not perfect, a step greeting you at the front door and a crowded shop making even the most experienced wheelchair user more than a little paranoid. It's possible, I've been to Grannies more than once, but it's definitely a shop where I take my time wheeling and I am super careful everywhere I turn. Grannies, first of all, is an official world record holder. Granny owns over 2600 cookie jars - and I believe they're all actually here in this shop. She's held the record since 2012, as I recall. Grannies is, of course, an ice cream shop. Granny even makes all of her waffle cones by hand. Each one has a Hershey kiss at the bottom. She puts a whole lot of love in her waffle cones. The ice cream is pretty incredible, too. She has quite a few flavors and they're at reasonable prices for pretty darn amazing servings. Grannies is open 7 days a week throughout the year. While I can't say I'd drive all the way to Metamora for her ice cream, if I am in the Metamora there's no way I'm leaving without stopping at Grannies. Metamora is a beautiful little canal town. It has definitely been impacted by the pandemic, but the people are also hanging in there. I'm not quite going to say that time stands still here, but it's sure not a place you go to speed up. Metamora is a surprisingly easy drive from Indy and the entire Franklin County area could easily be a relaxing, fairly isolated day trip with Brookville also nearby as the seat of the county. There are even a couple places you can stay in Metamora, though they aren't particularly strong with access and you'd probably want to go to Brookville if that's needed. If you get a chance, head south to Metamora and be sure to stop in at Grannies for some ice cream and definitely check out those cookie jars!

This is quite possibly my favorite shop in all of Metamora. Not only is there icecream for you to…read moreenjoy (though sadly, I'm not able to partake these days since it's all dairy), the store is wall to wall cookie jars. Not just wall to wall... there are added sections in the middle, too! That's not mentioning the back room also has a ton of cookie jars! There are cookie jars shaped like fruit. There are cookie jars shaped like iconic characters. There are cookie jars with Coca Cola theme. Christmas. Animals. Just seriously, so. Many. Cookie. Jars. They do also have some coffee mugs and salt and pepper shakers. Bottom line, this shop is so quirky that I can't help but stop in when I'm in town. I just watch my step and make sure my purse won't knock the shelves. In Grannie's, if you break it, you buy it! PS -- there is a bathroom in the hall between the front room and back room, should you need one. They can be difficult to locate in Metamora if you don't know where they are.
