    a hand holding a cone of ice cream
    Charles B.

    I couldn't believe how this place was so busy for lunch on a Friday and located out of town, well that only means one thing they must have good food. So I ordered a soft twist in a cone and it reminded me of the farm show milk shake but on a cone it was delicious! Can't wait to go back to try other items.

    Seating on one side.  There is seating on the other side of the building too.

    After being on Laurel lake all day this was a refreshing wato end our day. We have visited this place numerous times over the years, even with new owner change. Food is always good and ice cream is splendid! We love the new picnic tables outside with umbrellas.

    LOVE Twirly Top. Have always been treated well by the staff, find the food and ice cream to be reasonably priced and exactly what I would expect from what it is, a walk up shop owned by a young family trying hard to keep tradition alive! I would imagine their food costs are higher than a chain and am always amazed how fast the line moves despite how hard it is to staff anything these days! Yelp reviews are one thing, but the line and parking lot always show what this community thinks of the ice cream and food! We are there several times a week!

    Had a burger the bun was really fresh and fluffy. I thought it took over the burger a little so next time I will get a burger with toppings. The gravy cheese fries where awesome ! The gravy is a rich beef gravy and the cheese is a wiz type :) which join to form a tasty treat. The ice cream is crazy good, I got a signature Sunday with peanut butter cups and it was one of The best ice cream Sundays I have ever had.

    A very dismal cheesesteak.  Stay away.

    Although my husband was accused of being a person who is "never satisfied" by the young manager, we had a valid complaint about the quality of the cheesesteak sub we purchased. I will try to upload the picture that we took of this overcooked and overpriced disgrace. There was no effort to make it right or even to offer a simple "I am sorry."

    This is my first visit to the Twirly Top. This place was packed with a line probably ten people deep when we parked. The parking area is a little tight and many people do not seem very courteous when parking next to others to make the most of the small space. They have a variety of hot sandwiches and sides as well as a huge ice cream menu. They serve soft serve and hand dipped ice cream, sundaes, shakes and banana splits. They also serve old fashioned Cherry Coke. My husband ordered chicken nuggets and fries. I ordered bacon cheese fries. We both got the old fashioned Cherry Coke. All of the food was good. The bacon cheese fries had ordinary cheese sauce but the bacon was not imitation. It was chopped up bacon that was cooked perfectly. Not too chewy, not too crispy. The fries were cooked perfectly as well. My husband said the chicken nuggets were good. The old fashioned Cherry Cooke was really good. The only complaint I would have is that the soda could have been more fizzy. Overall the food was great and I look forward to being able to come back for their ice cream!

    The heat of the day melted my winter brain, promenaded me by my spring slumber and slipped me…read morestraight into summer mode. The signal of sweat ignited the inner petition for a sweet treat - particularly one of a frozen delight. I surveyed the Carlisle and Harrisburg market for local legends, amidst the mass never-ending chains, and I landed on Masseys which from the outside appeared to have the right to call itself a landmark. Wait... LB... what are you doing in... don't worry about it. Labors. Completing my labors. The old school vibe and the trixie tang of Chanel No.5 cream told me most of what I needed to know. This was gonna slap, snap, snip, snop, stomp, twist and tuck. And if it didn't - I'd fall to my knees right in that parking lot. I'd be forced to bow down onto my knees and beg to the Gods for strength as Heracles once did during his own labors. For my penance, as those before me, I'd continue across a distance on said knees to showcase my humility and my humbleness like nobody else is capable of. Lucky for me - I popped open the door and was welcomed with delightful attitude. Everyone in the vicinity was happy. Not one mildly content face, nobody sad. All happy people eating happy ice cream. GREAT SIGN. And listen. If ya know the playa, ya know the game. Custard is superior. If custard is available... I'm crushing some custard baby. Book it, bake it and shake it baby. Yea shake that thing. I'm gonna take that thing. So yes. I peeped that menu for a split pea of a second and I jumped on the train. Up the coast and through the valleys. I end a top the Arctic Mount. Swiveled, churned and concreted. Atop the mountain I laid out a yell, a yell so grand it shook the shoulders of Atlas who did his best to maintain the weight of the world I run on his shoulders. Now... we ain't talking about ice cream. We talking bout Custard. We are talking about custard. THIS... THIS is custard. This is maybe dictionary custard. This is thicker than Aunt Jemima (RIP). This is thicker than a bowl of oatmeal. Thiccc will triple Cs. Dense... dowry worthy in its declaration of density, dominance and delivery. My hotel was nearby, but because of its stature I had no worry of waiting to eat it until I arrived back. Zero drip and almost no melt. Vanilla custard, M&Ms and brownie bits. The brownies were some of the best mixed-in brownies I've ever had. A weaker man wouldn't have finished this concoction. But I'm 16, 17, 20 something % body fat and I run on the saturated fat of this cream. Eggy, creamy, sweet, filling... really hit the shpotttt. Satisfied and stomichfied - My lackluster excuse for abdominals stiffened and became more defined as happiness is the true path towards washboard abs. Massey's, an underrated Yelp gem. If you don't have access to quality custard this will blow your mind. As a custardy cutie myself this didn't absolutely trample my temple - she ain't the best I ever had, nor in that convo - but she was well worth my time and more than worth the dime. I'll never be back in Pennsylvania as I've now concurred all the communities, courts, towns and cities. Every single area. Seen. Labors Done. Whatever... enough about me and my glory. Cheers to Masseys. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to the Mount of your Arctic. A 5 outta 5.

    It's a tradition to go to Massey's Frozen Custard every time we visit Carlisle. It seems like…read morethere's always someone new working in there, but we had a great person helping us out. The shop is really needing a good paint job and cleaning at the order window, but it's still looks frozen in time like the 40's.

    I have lived within 30 miles of Leo's Homemade Ice Cream for the majority of my life... and somehow…read morenever knew it existed. Which, honestly, feels like a personal failure at this point. When my Friday night post-dinner dessert plans fell apart, Leo's popped up as a backup option -- and what a plot twist that turned out to be. We arrived around 7:15pm on what was easily the nicest Friday evening of the year so far, and the place was PACKED. Line out the door, people everywhere, full-on "this must be good" energy. But here's the impressive part -- the line moved FAST. Before I knew it, I was inside trying to make one of life's hardest decisions: choosing a flavor. Leo's offers a huge variety of homemade ice cream flavors, and you can tell they take pride in having something for everyone. From classic favorites to more creative options -- and even a sugar-free vanilla option -- there's a ton to choose from. I genuinely stood there for a minute just taking it all in. I ultimately went with a kid's dish of S'mores, and WOW...this was easily one of the best S'mores ice creams I've ever had. Super creamy, perfectly balanced, and packed with flavor. The graham cracker, chocolate, and marshmallow all showed up exactly how they should -- no one ingredient overpowering the others. Just smooth, nostalgic, campfire-in-a-bowl perfection. Also, can we talk about value for a second? $3.50 for a kid's dish? In this economy?! Absolutely worth it. One of the biggest surprises, though, was the space itself. There's plenty of on-site parking, and out back is a huge picnic area with tables, chairs, and even a covered patio. It's the kind of setup that makes you want to linger -- not just grab ice cream and go. Total summer evening vibes. And I have to give a quick shoutout to something I deeply appreciate: their hours. Leo keeps it simple -- open every day from 12pm to 9pm. No guessing, no seasonal "are they open today?" confusion, no wonky schedule to keep track of. Just consistent, reliable ice cream access, which I respect immensely. Now that I know Leo's exists, it's officially in my regular rotation. I already have a mental list of flavors I need to go back and try (including that sugar-free vanilla, because now I'm curious), and I can absolutely see myself spending warm evenings out back enjoying more of Leo's frozen goodness. Better late than never, I guess -- but wow, have I been missing out.

    The perspective of an out-of-towner: Leo's ice cream shop is clean, well maintained, and big enough…read moreto accommodate a baseball team or church youth group. They offer lots of great Leo's merch for sale, like sweatshirts and t-shirts. The only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is because the ice cream itself didn't strike us as any better than, say, Five Guys or Dairy Cream. It's not bad, and in a pinch can satisfy a craving, but it didn't stand out to us as exceptional.
