    Love this place! The ice cream is homemade and the vibe is so retro. I like that their ice cream is not too sweet, as a lot of places make theirs overly sweet. Both times I’ve been there, I’ve gotten the peach ice cream. My wife this second time got the strawberry. My daughter tasted both of ours and she really liked it too. Located in a nice area and the outdoor seating is great.

    A tradition for as long as I can remember on the UNCG campus. Great hot dogs and ice cream. Have to eat here at least once if you are on campus.

    This is a must for anyone visiting Greensboro. There is some interior seating in booths, as well as several exterior picnic tables and benches out front. This place has only 2 things to sell, and have been open for over 100 years. So, you know they have to be good. I recommend 2 hotdogs all the way, and washing it down with a cheerwine in a glass bottle.

    I've eaten at Yum Yums since 1969. It has never disappointed. Unique style of hot dogs. Wonderful ice cream! The best mint chocolate chip milkshake on the planet!
