Snookie’s is the busiest place in Beaverdale during the summer. Cars wrap around the block for the drive-through, and there’s a crowd of people outside every night. It’s been a local favorite for nearly 40 years, and for good reason. Classic, traditional soft-serve ice cream. I tried their pumpkin ice cream the other night, and I understand now why it’s so popular. Five out of five.

The soft serve is amazing! It has a rich, unique flavor that's different from what you'll find at other shops. The texture is incredibly thick and creamy, and there are plenty of toppings to choose from, along with a wide variety of fun and unique treats. They're also very dog-friendly, so be sure to bring your furry friend along. There's plenty of seating out front, as well as a cozy area in the back with several porch swings where you can relax and enjoy your ice cream. The prices are very reasonable. Even though they only have one location, we find ourselves driving across town just to visi

Best malts and great selection of ice cream treats! The banana delight is loaded with hot fudge. The peanut parfait is the best one around. Crunch coat cones are awesome. We always take our dog and get her a free pup cone as well! Ice cream nachos are the greatest!
