My ice cream sundae was a s'mores style sundae and I was 100% underwhelmed and unimpressed. The ice cream was a blasé vanilla. The chocolate was a watery sauce. The cream was not nice spray whipped cream. The marshmallows were okay. The service was nice. The store was underwhelmingly decorated. It was like they kind of tried, but didn't commit to actually making it really nice.

We decided to try this parlor since it was the only one in town open past 9:00PM, we probably should have drove down a little bit to the ice cream truck, because the ice cream here was nothing special, you could make better at home, the ice cream was hidden but I’m pretty sure they buy it from Safeway or dreyers because it tasted just like regular ice cream, they wanted $8 per menu item for a plastic cup with two scoops and hot fudge, seats were all torn and the places had bugs in it, obviously this is not the same place other posters were sharing about 6 years ago, it’s clearly under new ownership by some greedy SOB, you almost feel scammed for what you paid versus what you got.

Decent ice cream with a cute old fashioned atmosphere.
Dietary restrictions: Nut allergies were not properly dealt with so be careful.

I'm not too impressed with this place. The young lady who works here seems too stressed to her job. She seemed to get really mad when we ask her if we could switch the ice cream. I sat at the bar and didn't get served. I felt that I got some second rate service. I'm a transwoman so, I hope that wasn't her issue. She seemed to have no problem walking up to others...

Executive summary: This place kind of stinks. Take a pass.Details:Like a couple of good tourists, my wife and I ambled by Bud's and were taken in my the "old fashioned soda fountain" look at first glance. That was the best part of our visit: the view from the sidewalk.We ordered 2 scoops in a cup with hot fudge. The young woman took what seemed like a really long time (minutes) in front of the hot fudge gizmo. Her back was blocking our view, so we just sort of shrugged our shoulders and figured she knew what she was doing.She put the cup on the counter and informed us what we owed. My wife (being the sharper of the two) noticed that the hot fudge looked "lumpy" and congealed. She quickly tested the temp with a quick finger and -- yep -- it was room temperature and hard. I tried some and -- I kid ye not -- it was chewy like caramel. My wife asked about that and the young woman told us the hot fudge machine "wasn't working". Hm. Why not tell us that before scraping it out and prying it out onto the unwilling scoops of ice cream?My wife said it really didn't look good at all and felt weird about paying for something like that. The young woman said she wouldn't charge us for the hot fudge. Being good Catholics and Baby Boomers, we felt weird about insisting on a new scoops (we could just eat around the goo), so we stood outside to give it a go.Moving the congealed mess to the side revealed what I could best describe as "discount grocery store quality" ice cream. It had that ice milk look to it and had just the barest flavor at all. We could only tell the difference in the two flavors by color (cookies & cream and peanut-butter-chocolate).We were drawn in like chumps and regretted it. Do yourself a favor and pass this place by. Cheers.

Ice cream tasted like the kind you buy in the gallon size from Safeway wasn't made there. They buy it in bulk. Girls working were too busy on their cell phones. Wouldn't go back or recommend.

Came in with 16 family members, the staff patiently served us with a smile, everyone enjoyed their treat.
Decent ice cream but counter lady was super rude charged my card twice then said it didn’t go through
Great place to get ice cream or milkshakes
Google listing says they close at 10 but they close earlier. Said they have no clue what ifs wrong. Boneheads
Love this place! It’s an old fashioned ice cream shop, the service is amazing and they let me try lots of samples to make sure i got what i liked!
