We visited on a Friday at 4pm. It was pretty quiet inside the store, with only one other family and…read moretwo people working. We were warmly greeted and acknowledged when we walked in, and we took a minute to scan over the expansive menu. We both ordered single scoops of the ice cream, and were surprised and happy at the generous portion of ice cream. The ice cream was very creamy, thick, and had great flavor. The cotton candy with the pop rocks was a nice surprise. There are a few tables and a wooden bench along the wall for seating, as well as a long table attached to the wall with chairs. The decor was very Southern, with a Hey Ya'll sign on the wall, and a few quoted pictures around the walls. It was very cute. I will definitely return because of how close this location is to where I recently moved, and because of the variety and length of the menu. I would love to come back and try the bakery or coffee items. When we left, we were given a happy farewell.

Hershey's Ice Cream at the Ellenton Outlets is our go-to spot every time we visit the area! After a…read moreday of shopping, it's become a tradition to stop in for a sweet treat. The ice cream is always delicious, and my children look forward to it every single trip. One of the best parts is that everyone has a different favorite flavor, but they also love trying something new and the staff is always happy to let them sample flavors before they decide. The employees are friendly, patient, and never make us feel rushed, even when the kids take a little extra time choosing. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the generous portion sizes. If you're shopping at the outlets and craving ice cream, this place is definitely worth a stop. We'll keep coming back every time we're in town!

Worst ice cream ever. Service was indifferent (at best).

Ambiance is "meh." Also, their prices are ridiculously high and could only be justified if this was the best ice cream in the world, rather than some of the worst. I ended up tossing 90%+ in the trash. Don't waste your time or money.

The previous comment about bad customer service is confusing because in no way have I ever experienced that. The food is always good, the service is always good and quick. The pies look delicious, but I have not tried one, because if I do, I'll probably be licking the windows what is it at 3 AM wanting another. The Cuban is great, the dirty bird sauce is really good. Also, they have a petting zoo now, and of course produce outside.

The pineapple upside down cake is by far, the perfect combination on moist and cake that you could get, could use more pineapple but ‍ preferences :) My group got one of each of every sandwich and every person had no complaints, i had the jose marti and very very good, not dry or too wet, very tasty. P.S. the farmer outside requires a 10 dollar minimum on card, won't tell you that but will charge the difference :( if i knew that i would've bought more stuff.

I don't consider myself a picky person and can pretty much make anything work, but I've never had more awful ice cream. On top of that, their customer service is absolutely awful. The guy taking my order was incredibly rude and impatient. I asked him one or two questions and then after him making me feel guilty or stupid about asking I stopped. I wish I would've asked more because then maybe I would've realized that their ice cream is absolute garbage before wasting $20 on a sundae & a double scoop. No I am not joking. This is no tip also!!!!! They purposely overcharge people and forced them to use cash which is also crazy because they aren't required to have any overhead fees for the credit cards because they don't allow them. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this place.
