"Huge vanilla soft serve portion. Freezes your tongue...... makes you wish You'd ordered smaller....ruins not just dinner but breakfast the next morning too. Like 23 flavors (How do they do it?) The vanilla is astonishingly intense.....Clearly the Michelin 5 star of soft serve....with parking! (No valet service,no reservations)"

"Not bad at all. The food is priced right and it's okay. The staff was friendly and it's nice to sit outside and eat your meal at their tables. Best cheesesteak I ever had? No, but it got the job done and yes it was affordable."

"This place is always 5 star, my family and I have been enjoying for years. Great food, lots of selection and flavors of ice cream. In addition, the environment they created shows their care for customers. Lots of space to eat and even an area for kids to play."

"I've lived in this area all my life and driven past this place countless times but only stopped in for the first time a few weeks ago. I wish I would have stopped in sooner as the folks that work here are very friendly, the prices fair, and the food very tasty! I could live solely off their chili dogs, and I would be a very happy man!"

"Stopped here two days in a row after diving at Dutch Springs. It is worth a stop just to look at the place because it has an awesome old school character that you don't see much anymore. Both days the ice cream was ready quickly and food took a while. Got milkshakes and both the chocolate and strawberry were good. They have tons of flavors for soft serve, and a range of sundaes too. Ice cream definitely is the strong suit One day I got fries and one day a chili dog. The hot dog took a good 15 minutes and it was not great, the Costco hot dog is better and faster as a point of reference. I think the staff was behind on another order and so I just got caught in the backup. If I go again, I'd just stick to ice cream. Staff was friendly, they've got benches to sit at as well. Be sure to stop in if you're close by"
