This old fashioned ice cream stand is a Staple near the Village of Liverpool. I could not find exact date of opening but I remember visiting as a child specifically for lemon ice. Their homemade lemon ice revels some of the best! Our family is from the Buffalo area and grew up on Andrew's famous lemon ice. This is the closest we have found, I think it is just a bit more tart but the best in the Syracuse area! Fast, pleasant, service. Cash only. $3.25 for a small lemon ice, more than fair in this economy and a sizable portion! I even had some left to share! The classic ice cream stand itself is nostalgic and brings you back to more simple times! Huge menu, with cones, sundaes, flurries, milk shakes and more! That orange sherbet twist is on my list for a must try! read more

Had been to Vicky's a couple of weeks back with some friends. Yelp showed it permanently closed. Since, we were close by decided we would check it out. Was so happy to see the open sign lite and families enjoying the Holiday weekend with some Ice Cream. Love the I feel cream and Lemon Ice here. Does not disappoint. The Italian ice on a hot summer day is so refreshing. Love how personal this stand is with the story of the stand. Cash is King here so make sure you have cash on hand as there is no ATM available at Vicky's. read more

I'm 66 and this is the ice cream place I came to as a kid. It's never changed. For you old Liverpool people it's was the ice cream stand next to the old Carl's Drug Store. I live in Baldwinsville now, but if anyone wants ice cream this is where I go. It also has the best lemon ice you'll ever taste! read more

I only 'discovered' Vicky's at the end of the 2023 ice cream season. It's become my go-to this year because my former spot became inconsistent in its quality and I gave it up. Hopefully, Vicky's remains consistently awesome because I need an ice cream spot in town! I'm generally pretty basic: strawberry shake or a vanilla cone with sprinkles. Today I got a chocolate dip cherry flurry and it was good! Might need to try some more flurries before the stand closes for the season. Cash only with pretty fast service! There are some benches around the side of the Goulding if you want to sit out, too. read more

Vicky's Tasty Treat - VICKY'S TASTY TREAT - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Liverpool, New York

This location is soft serve only, with the standard line of flavors. Also cash only. No website, limited web presence. They're an institution in this part of town, but they've got the vibe of a place that's covering a special event. There's two things that set this place apart from other ice cream places. One, the flurries. Even without any special flavors for the base, the options seem to be much more wholesome. Fresh bananas as a mix-in opens up a whole world of opportunity I haven't seen anywhere else. My all time favorite is peanut butter, banana and marshmallow. Two, the soft serve has a unique taste and texture. I'd say most soft serve is indistinguishable, aside from available flavors. The soft serve here has a soft, airy texture and a rich taste to match. It's comparable to a Frosty, but much better. Their milkshakes are highly recommended by others, but I thought they were about as good as anywhere else. We've been here a hand full of times over the last few years. Service has mostly been exceptional, but we had a weird encounter the last time we were there. There was an older guy who came off as completely brash when we ordered soft serve. They couldn't put sprinkles on a large cone, which is understandable and not the first place we've been told that. That's fine, we asked for the large cones, then for two bowls with sprinkles to dip them in ourselves. Not only did this not compute, I think he thought we were messing with him. He said the bowls wouldn't fit the cones, but then offered to give us bowls of ice cream. We had an Abbot & Costello back and forth that ended with him slamming two large bowls on the counter and looking past us to usher in the next in line. Just a weird encounter from someone who seemed to be having a bad day. All in all, the pricing is some of the best in town. The serving sizes are plentiful. The service is usually over the top. The soft serve is unique, not the standard issue you'll get from most places. By using fresh bananas and utilizing the sauces and coats, they make flurries like you won't see anywhere else. Honestly, I think the biggest deterrent on my end is that it's cash only. read more

Delicious ice cream for a great price! My husband was obsessed with the chocolate malt shake he got. They only take cash, so come prepared. The only thing that would be nice is if there was more seating or some picnic tables for everyone to sit and enjoy their treats! read more

It was 70° this past weekend and my parents were visiting me! I took them to walk around Onondaga lake and sure enough we had to get a refreshing treat! Happy that Vicky's was open! The line was about 14 people long at 2pm. We ordered several sizes and flavors of cones, and each were equally pleasant. Baby cone, small, and 2 mediums . **If you're sharing, medium is enough for two!!! The orange and vanilla swirl is basically and orangesicle. The blackberry or orange by itself is tart, but refreshing. Of course you can top them with various nuts, sprinkles, and cherry dip! But I wasn't feeling that adventurous. Maybe next time, and soon.... The employees were efficient and welcoming. I Wish there was an awning over the bench space but direct sunlight was amazing too. Is it safe to say Upstate Spring has begun? read more

Vicky's Tasty Treat - a group of people holding ice cream cones - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Liverpool, New York

Yummy ice cream! I love this place. Even when it's crowded the line moves super fast. I would definitely come back here again for ice cream. I love the chocolate soft serve! read more

So glad I was able to visit before they closed for the season. I got the lemon ice - SO GOOD! Very tart, so be aware! Also got the chocolate and vanilla twist. Creamy and light. The service was super quick & the servers were friendly. Just a tip: they only take cash! read more

Vicky's Tasty Treat - Lemon Ice & Chocolate-Vanilla Twist. SO GOOD! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Liverpool, New York

Fickle Tasty Treat is the place down the road where you have to stand in line for hours because none of the teenyboppers in front of you can ever decide what they want. Luckily you won't have that problem at Vicky's because it's usually pretty quiet. Both of the times I've been there, I've been the only one there. Which actually makes me sad. Because it is so, damn, good. What to get: Vanilla Custard What else: the sherbet is a surebet if you like sherbet And what else: Don't vandalize the place like my cat Starlight did or you might end up in custardy. I am glad that I enjoyed these products otherwise I'd have had to rename it Sickly Nasty Treats. I came here originally by accident. I was looking for Heid's while on tour and it was nearby and I decided to try it. I remembered liking it, but it's been so many years that I couldn't remember how much. However, it's in the city of Liverpool, so that automatically predisposes me to like it, since Liverpool has the best soccer aka football team on earth. But not this Liverpool. If you know some really mean pale people, and they come here a lot, then maybe they think it's called Prickly Pasty Treats? I stopped by again about 2 weeks ago on my food tour of Syracuse. I was already pretty full, but when I noticed the prices, I had to order multiple items. A baby size is... wait for it... $1.25! Buffalo is cheap for baby size cones, and Rochester is expensive for them. But Syracuse beats them all... absolutely dirt cheap! If you see Gervais doing drugs here, then it'll have to be renamed Ricky Wasted Treats. The custard was the biggest portion and the most delicious. I got vanilla of course and it's a hands down 5/5, and way better than the ice cream shop next to Heid's, owned by Heid's. Absolutely luscious, and so creamy. Try it. The second best item was the orange sherbet. It had that "American Chemical Orange" flavour that I like to call "Agent Orange" (I came up with that myself, I may patent it). But if you like Agent Orange flavour, you might like this. You know, the same as Slice or Fanta or Sunkist or whatever orange soda you drink over here. See, where I come from, Orange drinks taste more citrusy and orangey and less sugary and chemicaly, so I can't get into anything Orange flavoured over here. Mexicans have it right though with their Mandarina flavour, for their Jarritos for example. If you met a guy in a Hawaiian bar and took him home but he finished way too early, before you even got started, if you know what I mean, then you can call it Tiki Hasty Treats. But I digress. So the Orange was a 4/5, but it would be a 5 if you like that flavour because it's very good quality sherbet and not too sweet and well made. And finally the lemon ice was more like a 3. It tasted nothing like the lemon ices that I know and love, and was very chemical-y and lemonade-y. So I'd skip that one unless you're a big fan of lemon ice in general. The service was just okay. It was a middle-aged guy. He was nice enough. He gave me really big portions though for 1.25, I was shocked. 3.75 total for three treats... see the pix. And if Rourke admits that he's never been with a boy and finds male equipment disgusting, then you can rename it Mickey Hates-D Treats. I can't give this place anything other than a 5, though because of the prices, the excellent custard, the good sherbet, and the fact that it's a little family owned place and you should all make the effort (in my opinion) to choose this over Dairy Queen, or Cold Stone, or whatever Ice Cream chain your preference is. Keep the money in your local area and in locals' pockets, and eat real local stuff made by locals with love instead of corporate cookie cutter stuff. And finally, if you come here to meet guys and head south and please said aforementioned guys, which you enjoy very much because of the salty flavours, then just for you, they will rename it Dicky Tasty Treats. read more

One of my favorite ice cream places in Syracuse! They offer a plethora of cheap options. I love their fluffernutter banana flurry. You definitely get the bang for your buck! The service is very efficient. Come here if you want a tasty, soft treat. read more

Ice cream was amazing. Long line when I got there, but it went really fast. I had got a parfait, and asked for no pineapple and she offered to add extra strawberries. Great customer service. Will hopefully come again next time I'm in this area. read more

Vicky's is great for soft serve. Usually I will get a simple chocolate vanilla twist in a waffle cone and a chocolate dip. The soft serve here has great flavor and consistency. While they are a cash only establishment the cost for ice cream is pretty low. I will say for a milkshake though I am not a fan. I got a small chocolate malt. The flavor was good, but it was huge and the consistency of chocolate milk. It sloshed around as if was handed to me and quickly got warm. Since it was so thin it seemed way too sweet for chocolate milk and didn't sit right in my stomach. It might be worth trying it thick for an extra charge but I may also stick with soft serve. Personally I would have preferred if they made it 12-16 oz and just used less milk so it was milkshake consistency. read more

Simple, a bit old-timey, but wonderful. There are only a few soft flavors but the flavors are spot on & the prices will not break the bank (cash only). Standouts are the orange and vanilla twist and the cherry dip. The staff have been consistently welcoming and friendly. I drive about 15 mins to this place & keep going past other ice cream spots because there is just something about it we enjoy so much. read more

I love this place always busy and a good amount of ice cream for your money it's always a fun place only takes cash so have money with you no atm there read more

Vicky's Tasty Treat - He loves there ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Liverpool, New York

Eh. I know this spot is family owned (and cash only) and I know it's soft serve but I think that your ice cream should be cold enough to hold up to a little bit of hot fudge. In other words, maybe you want to get a milkshake here but I wouldn't try getting a so-called Sundae- which is basically just milk in a bowl. Pretty much impossible for my father to eat because he basically had to drink it and throw the rest out. That's disappointing being that we were eating it in the parking lot immediately. Too bad but the novelty isn't worth the poor quality experience. read more

I was an avid visitor when I lived here and continued for 20 more years. That is until I bit into one of their frozen bananas and found not one but three hairs in the outside coating to the banana. I know I shouldn't let one bad visit bother me but I threw up in the parking lot and that was the end of our 20+ year love for Vicky's. read more

So there isn't much that can usually be said about a road side ice cream joint. In central NY we only really get the true ones popping open from about April til the snow flies again. I've been to several. But I always come back to Vicky's. Tonight I wanted a ice cream dinner replacement. They are easy to get into and always a lot of happy customers with their sundaes and soft serve hanging around outside. I don't feel like a medium soft cone with nothing special should cost that much and Vicky's must agree because most other places I go for the same thing are usually 2-3$ more for two people. Always a friendly staff on willing to help a generous amount of ice cream on the cone. It's truly one of my favorite summertime stops. Can't write a really extensive review for a place like this. But I know you won't leave dissatisfied if you give them a try. read more

Monster portions, nice people fast service. What more could you ask for. Don't let the lines scare you away, they work fast and it's never a long wait read more

Vicky's is a staple in the Liverpool area. It has been around a long time, but has always served really tasty ice cream that hits the spot. They have a huge amount of flavors and different types of ice cream to offer. One major bummer for me and what really caused me to knock a star off was that with all those flavors they don't have any sugar free options. I know to some that may be silly, but when you love sweet treats and the person you are with has to watch their sugar, it sucks when they can't have anything. They are probably one of the only ice cream stores I have seen that doesn't have some sort of sugar free sorbet or sherbet. Another thing that kinda bummed me out was that they don't take credit. I get it for small purchases, but in this day and age you really need to take credit. Make a minimum purchase requirement and it won't be an issue. You will lose a buck or two, but if people have to pay 10$ to get credit then you will make it back when they have to purchase more. So one thing I absolutely love about them is their late hours. My family and I had a very spicy dinner last night and really wanted ice cream. Nobody was open past 9pm on a Thursday and then we checked here and they were open! They were a bit out of the way for us, but totally worth it. My last recommendation is to make a smaller shake size. The medium and large are big! Gotta give them kudos for a delicious strawberry malt shake though! read more

You want the greatest milkshake you've ever had? Of course you do! Because tomorrow isn't a guarantee and today is all we have, get yourself a milkshake at Vicky's. Time and again, they nail the perfect consistency. We're talking an ERA of 1.82--we're talking Ed Walsh numbers! Not too thick and instantly drinkable, you're not gonna have to wait and wait for this milkshake to smooth out. You also like variety of flavors? Yes! Obviously you're tired of vanilla-chocolate-strawberry. Because Vicky's isn't some oligarchy like America has become (sorry to get political, back to the shakes), you can wet your whistle and sate your milk hunger with flavors like SALTED CARMEL (incredible! you actually taste tiny bits of sea salt with every sip) and LIME. Yes, I said lime. On another visit, I said to myself, "Let's test these dairy wizards. Let's see if they can make a citrus concoction worthy of all the hype I've built up for them with myself." And guess what? They delivered. Again. Ed Walsh numbers. Vicky's milkshakes: Your stomach hates you for not driving there right now. read more

I used to walk here as a kid all the time! Nowadays I live further away but still drive here when I can. The appearance of this building is iconic in Liverpool! Perfect ice cream place and I always get the same thing! Orange-vanilla twist with rainbow sprinkles, in a cup with a cone on top. I've ordered the same thing since I can remember. This is the perfect place to end a nice evening! read more

Place reminds me of my childhood. Love the orange vanilla twist and lemon ice.

I saw this place after I had dinner, and the lines were long. Good right? WRONG! I LOVE banana shakes and asked for one. Paid $3.25 (fine) skipped back to my car to get some milk, vanilla ice cream and 1/4 of a banana cut up in a thin milkshake. Was I expecting too much in a shake? What kind of monkeyshine was that? Bottom line: SYM (save your money)Totally disappointed and I DO NOT recommend this (at least the milkshakes). read more

I love all of the old fashioned ice cream drive-ins around Syracuse. This one is super cute, and the menu is amazing. I got a sundae which was delicious. Next time I will not only get a bigger size but I'll also try a flavor like black raspberry. I definitely recommend a visit if you're nearby and have never been. read more

Not bad for soft serve. It's a little icy, but not so much to be distracting. They are quick with the line. Cash only though. Ice cream cookie wasn't the best... tasted like a Chips Ahoy cookie with some freezer burn. The sundaes are average too. Watch out for inattentive drivers leaving the parking lot. There are no painted lines and many are too busy chasing drips that they don't pay attention to passersby. read more

Amazing came here yesterday with my daughter and fiancé for her birthday, and left in the greatest mood a man in-front of us payed for our ice cream and it made my daughter so happy. Best birthday she ever had and best ice cream we've had in a long time. Absolutely amazing thank you we'll definitely be back soon read more

Huge twists!! But the flurries are smaller than McDonald's and more expensive with less in them....so not worth it!!

Family owned which matters to me. Great ice cream and friendly staff. The owners work there frequently and that makes a difference in the quality of the product and staff.
