  I ordered the chocolate chip cookie dough milkshake. It had cheap tasting chocolate chips but other than that it was pretty good. I think I just got a bad flavor. The atmosphere is good with music and plenty of seats plus a old fashioned "ride" for little kids. It's a bit creepy with the dolls but I say overall 4 stars I would come again and get a diff flavor

  It is always a treat to into this place. The single scoop is enough for two people really, and it is tasty Hersheys brand. The real draw is the memorabilia for me though. Tons of carnival ride objects throughout the spacious seating area, and smaller interesting things throughout the entire store. There is an antique store associated with them across the street, but, on a Saturday anyway, closed at 1700. There was some cool stuff on the sidewalk that I would've picked up, but we arrived there at 1715! Thought maybe the ice cream employees might be able to complete the transaction, but alas no. Next time. Polite staff, and a whale of a good time to be had for those that enjoy a look back in time! For those who have not been, Tappahannock is a really cool return to the days of small town America, and if you can time it the festivals that we caught were fun.

  I walked into Acmes Ice Cream Parlor about 45 minutes before closing with my family, expecting a quick stop for dessert. Unfortunately, from the moment we entered, we were met with clear irritation, rolled eyes and visibly annoyed expressions from the staff because of the number of people coming in. It was disappointing, especially since the shop is only open a few days a week. You would expect a bit more patience and hospitality during business hours, not frustration toward customers who are still well within the open window. The ice cream itself was fine, but the atmosphere made the experience uncomfortable and rushed. No one should feel unwelcome for walking into a place that is still open, regardless of how close it is to closing time.
