    Great desserts, great seating! They have drive through and walk up ordering. Lots of menu items, and lots to choose from. The workers were super nice and got us our ice cream in less than a minute, even though they had a long line in the drive through! There are also food items available. The ice cream is all reasonably priced, lower than other shops I've been to. The flavor burst small cone was just the right amount, and the freeze (candy+ ice cream blend) was an amazing size, and had so many mix ins it was unbelievable! The highest mix in to ice cream ratio I have had. Definitely reccomend!

It's 65 degrees out and raining, so it's not like the heat melted it. Also, the split was pure liquid when they handed it to me at the window.

    Just what the doctor ordered! Awesome selection of frozen treats - shakes, malts, dip cones, sundaes, concrete mixers, and more, with a boatload of flavor options you won’t find at other ice cream places. Plus, there are some popular grill items if you want to make a meal of it. Great service. What struck me tonight was how friendly and polite everyone was - not just the employees, but the people in line as well. Recommend!
