One of the very few hometown dairy bars left anywhere. An absolute landmark. Worth the drive!! Just 12 miles from Memphis city limits in the heart of downtown Hernando. Best burgers EVER!!! And ice cream! read more

The best ice cream place around! I have friends that will drive down from Bartlett just to go to the Velvet Cream. They have a huge selection of flavors, shakes and food. The food is just ok it is more like concession stand food. But the place is great for a summer night stop to just park you car and enjoy some great ice cream. read more

I never been to this place before. I was impressed by the selection of food. I ordered nachos with jalapenos on the side with s large coke. I wasn't impressed by the nachos but i would be willing to go and get a burger or something different. I liked that they had shirts for sale. read more

The food is great here and a great occasional stop for out-of-towners. For locals it is a quintessential part of Hernando, but the prices in recent years have continued to climb as have the wait times. If you want a good milkshake, this is the place to go, but if you want to feed your family of 4 a fast food dinner, get ready to shell out quite a bit of money. As far as ice cream goes, Area 51 has them beat, but for milkshakes, this is the best when you're in Hernando. read more

The chocolate shake was just dispensed From soft serve machine and cost $8.00 They cannot compete with McDonalds much less Area 51 read more

My family and I went to Velvet cream last week, & spent almost $65.00. We only live 10 minutes from velvet cream & by the time we got home EVERYTHING was soggy, cold, & on top of that, we got someone else's order. They didn't offer to replace our order, or refund our money. The young girl working inside was the worst excuse for an employee I've ever dealt with, & believe me, I work for the corporate world. When I called to tell them (nicely) about the issues, & they just told me they didn't do refunds or replace food!!! She sounded like she was 13 with a serious attitude. I told them my family and I would NOT be back, & we haven't since. I've also told everyone I know about my velvet cream experience. ~Tabatha DeStefanis read more

If you are looking for some desert, this is the place to go. I have not yet bought actual food from here yet, but the owner is super friendly when taking orders. A great family environment, and not even that expensive! 5 out of 5 would recommend!! read more

Good ice cream from a old school small town place. Huge selection of shakes. Food wasn't very good. Really greasy and not great flavor. I will stick with the ice cream next time. read more

We ordered food and drinks. The trucker burger (choice of fries or onion ring on the burger) and the chicken philly. The burger was good but the don't expect huge quantities of meat. The patty was pretty thin but the tomato slices and onion ring were utilized to give the sandwich its bulk. The philly was ok, nothing too fabulous but not bad. The only real complaint was the amount of grease that was packaged with the philly. Both the top and bottom buns were soaked. The pineapple slush was delicious and so was the shaved ice. I will be back but to try more flavors on the drink menu. read more

Amazing food and ice cream. They'll pretty much make anything you ask for too. The only downside is the wait, but it's worth it! Enjoy more flavors of everything than you can dream of! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE! No matter what you get you wont be disappointed. There is so much to choose from but I always get some kind of burger trying a new one every time I go. Now for the good stuff ICE CREAM. I can promise you its all good! I have yet to have the same thing twice! read more

Great place. Was staying at a casino in Tunica and was craving some ice cream. Was only about a 30-40 minute drive but well worth it. They have the largest selection of sundaes and concretes you can find. Over 230 different combitions on what you can put on your sundae or in your concrete. It is a must if you are in the area. Don't miss out and and visit the Dip! read more

The staff was super friendly and they had a lot of fun choices of food! I would definitely recommend checking this place out!!

Our absolute fave go-to spot for a nice date night in. Everything is delish! The fries can typically be shared as the portions are large, but you can't leave without one of the famous velvet cream shakes! Their menu is quite broad so there should be something for everyone in the family, including your fur babies! read more

A longtime staple in this area. Prices are definitely pretty steep for what you get, and the service isn't always the best (there are a lot of not so polite high school and college students that work the windows), but they're definitely my go to for great fried pickles or a great hot fudge sundae. Just not an every week kind of meal! read more

Grease food cooked in tastes like it has not been changed in 33 years I have lived here. Occasionally, I've tasted someones french fry and no change in taste of grease. EEW. Way Way overpriced. Sysco fake ice cream -- no "cream" as in velvet cream. Only thing sold here is nostalgia for good old days read more

I ordered food from them online. Got there to pick it up and it was not ready after 20 min. Sat and waited as long as I could. Called back to get a refund and was told they do not do refunds and that the order would be ready to come back and get it. The person I talked to on the phone was the owner/ manager. He hung up on me. I enjoy the food but they are always slow, even when they aren't busy. Probably will not be eating with them again due to him being rude. read more

Great stuff and a crazy staff of hard workers!!! Ask for lou-lou and order an ORANGE MONKEY SHAKE!!! Well worth the wait - tell em' that the SPOONER sent ya for a lil' something extra!! Plenty to choose from... just bring your patience and an appetite! read more

I was introduced to The Velvet Cream a couple of years ago. Their milkshakes are the best I have ever had. Their burgers are juicy and delicious. They also have a menu that is so extensive, it might take a lifetime to try everything. I live about ab hour away from Hernando, but I would make the drive just for a milkshake, burger and fries from The Velvet Cream. read more

I've been going here since I was a little girl and it is still one of my favorite places to go get something to eat! AND THEIR ICECREAM CHOICES ARE PRETTY MUCH UNLIMITED. They are the bomb.com and if you've never been you better go! read more

Delicious! Fun atmosphere...a bit pricey, but worth it! Only complaint is that there is no place to sit down and eat. I have seen people take it home, eat it in their car, and a group had lawn chairs set up and were tailgaiting! This is ok, but at certain times the parking lot is packed and you have to search for a place to park, nearby! read more

Thank you, Tommy and crew. Santa is wearing his T-shirt right now and wishing I had another Greek burger and german chocolate shake. If you are traveling on I-55, then stop here. It is right off the interstate - they have more burger combinations than you thought possible - more shake and malt flavors also. I will always stop here. 5 stars is not enough! read more

Was very disappointed with my food today. Velvet Cream had so many great reviews but it wasn't good to me. The service was great, the fries were hot, but my burger was the downfall. The meat itself was dry and had no seasoning. My bun was toasted but wasn't warm it actually tasted like a lunchroom burger. The onions were not sliced or diced they were in huge chunks. The other condiments were good. Not sure if I want to give them a second chance I hate wasting money. read more

The largest menu of anywhere in town. They have anything you could ever want! Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is there is usually a really long wait! I have easily spent nearly 30 minutes in the drive thru more than once. Otherwise they have great tasting food with many many choices. read more

This place is AWESOME!!! I am trying to work my way through the shake menu.....will take years!!!

Most of the food is a tad on the salty side, but solid burgers and tots. The real winners here are the milkshakes. World famous and for good reason read more

The Dip used to be a good place to eat but now they're just overpriced and stingy with their food portions. Their ice creams used to be good too, admittedly, but it's just overpriced powdered milk. read more

Unfortunately The Dip is inconsistent in its food. I've had ice cream that went from awesome to plain tasteless. The owner is super nice but some of the young folks can be down right rude if you have a complaint. Once my ice cream slid completely off the cone in less than 30 seconds because the cream wasn't completely frozen at the correct temp. I went to window to tell them and you would have thought I had spit and cursed at these folks. Why wouldn't they just check their machine before acting like a jerk? Also the burgers while decent are super salty. But, that doesn't stop me from ordering one every now and then. Don't order the butterscotch milkshake because they overload it with so much syrup you can't drink it without chasing it with water. Their strawberry,Cherry and vanilla shakes rock! read more

I love the ice cream. Some of the food is good. Some is average. Somewhat pricey, but it is not a chain restaurant. There is no where to eat. It is to go only. read more

My kids love The Dip! And to be honest I do too! Their menu can be completely overwhelming. You can order online and pick it up. At the least, you can look at the menu online to help focus your choices. I always get a hamburger with cheese and bacon. I come from the school of thought that says there can never be too much bacon, ever. That said, their bacon seems different. It is the thickest, hardest bacon I have ever had. I usually get it on my hamburger and there is enough to share with one or two other burgers in my family (money saver!!). We get the super large spicy fry (we are a family of six and it just makes sense!) I have tried a few other items like cheese sticks, fried okra, etc. These tasted to me like they were straight from the freezer, not in a good way. Just plain, nothing special, bland. I would stay away from them. For something sweet, their hot fudge cake is amazing! It is perfect in it's simplicity. The peanuts on top are some kind of special drug that keeps me coming back! One of my kids likes their slushes, one likes just ice cream, one likes the ice cream with the ice stuff. I think any of their desserts would be a home run. One of the drawing points at The Dip is the outrageous amount of options. I would love a count of the different things they will put on a burger or a frozen dessert. I have a family of 6 so eating out is never cheap, but I usually flinch at our bill. It may be that we order too much food, who knows. A tip for those who have never been. There is no seating. You drive through or you walk up. I hope The Dip is always around! read more

Great selection, and quality milk shakes. You can not miss this place at night since it is brightly lit!

Good food, but pricy. Poor customer service. Pepsi didn't taste right to me. Staff tasted & stated that it tasted fine to them. Therefore, they would not give me a different drink. Velvet Cream, customer is always right. read more

Good food but expensive for a dive stop! I paid the same price here that I could go inside a nice place to sit down and have lunch. Pot roast sandwich is great! read more

Just ate here 10 mins ago tried the bbq nacho and it was just awefull.Most of the bbq on it was black and burnt badly and overall not very good bbq.I love bbq nachos from real bbq places,but ill never order one from this place again.Plus i ordered a large which was the size of a small from the picture i saw on their website.So on top of it not being very good i also think they ripped me off giving me a small as a large. read more

I have been a customer here for many years, but never again. Tonight my family and I went there for dinner. We went through the drive thru and ordered a couple burgers, some fries, and a hot dog for my daughter. I didn't realize the significance of having to correct the girl taking my order at the speaker until we parked to eat. Something as simple as seasoned fries caused the worst customer service experience to date. So I walk to the window and catch the girls attention and proceed to tell her that I ordered seasoned fries not regular and her response was "we don't take food back". So I asked for a manager. The man that came to the window was one of if not the rudest person I have ever encountered. I was not asking for anything free, I only requested what I had ordered. But I was informed that the employees here do not make mistakes. He refused to give his name, when I asked he replied that "it didn't matter". I have never been to a restaurant that refused to produce a correct order, especially something as simple as a small order of fries. We never left the parking lot, the fries were still hot. There were other customers standing nearby that were just as shocked by the way it was handled as I was. I would be embarassed as an employer if my "managers" represented my establishment that way. read more
