“A Genuine Surprise Stop on Our Way Back From NYC

We were on our way home from NYC, planning to wash the car before calling it a day, when we drove past Pennsville Custard Stand. Right before it, we passed what can only be described as a crack den (a rundown motel with a few guys doing the crack dance), and honestly, we didn’t expect much more down the road.

Then suddenly, we see this beautiful little hole-in-the-wall shack that completely caught us off guard. Not only were the prices super reasonable, but the service was lightning fast — in and out like that.

It was clearly a regular local spot too. We saw a dad just casually enjoying his custard outside his truck, like this was his go-to ritual, while my wife and I enjoyed ours. It had this wholesome, small-town vibe that made the whole stop feel unexpectedly special.

If you’re ever passing through, don’t sleep on this place. Absolute gem.“

“Amazingggg ice cream and huge portions!!“

“I had the best banana split 🤤 the service is always 10 out of 10“

“I love the fact that they have delicious vegan options! They are also very friendly here. My daughter loves it as well.“

“This place is amazing! Our family avoids food dyes and limits HFCS but my kids really wanted water ice. Fuscos to the rescue! My kids LOVED it and we took a pint of apple cider donut ice cream to go.“

“Hands down the best water ice ive ever had. We keep our freezer over in Marcus Hook Refinery loaded. The lady Shannon at the front desk is a doll, always polite and always smiling. A awesome place to do business with.“

“Bruaters is one of my favorite ice cream places. Love the key lime and coconut chip, peanut butter puddles, chocolate peanut butter chip. My kids love cotton candy explosion. Blackjberry and peach are awesome too. Can't go wrong with anything there I think“

“Great ice cream, and good selections. I was hoping they’d have a cheesecake flavored ice cream, but that’s okay; Moose Tracks always hits the spot. I will say, I’m always suspicious when the ice cream is TOO good(as seen in the picture)😅😆 #What’sInTheDairy“

“Please keep the Chocolate Cherry Chunk all year. It is THE BEST!!!“

“My husband likes their water ice and my daughter likes their gelato. I like some of the delicious flavors they offer, especially the tangerine, which they dont have often enough! Would go back again but sometimes, it can be a bit pricey for a family of 4.“

“Very creative customize your own froyo shop. You can fill up your cup with whatever flavor(s) you desire and then pick your own toppings from the toppings bar and they include various fun toppings such as gummy bears, cookie dough, brownie bits, boba pearls, lego candy, cereals, and more. They also offer chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, pb sauce, and marshmallow sauce. Very fun and kid friendly inside with colorful chairs and booths. It’s refreshing to see a fun place geared towards children“

“Main Scoop Deli is now working as Z Mart LLC. It's an American complete go-to convenience store for food, snacks, hot and cold beverages and so much more. This family grocery store is Owned by MR. Zulfiqar. Clean store, great customer service, and an outstanding selection of products. Helpful personnel with good insight. Highly recommended.“

“Oh my goodness ... This was the best waterice. It was so tasty. I also got the cinnamon pretzel with the icing that was good. It was a nice treat. The $3 Thick water ice is a really good portion. I was very pleased with how flavorful it was . I would highly recommend this location for something sweet and reasonable.“

“Food was so delicious! Wonderful outside balcony seating! Great service? love this place!“

“was there for the first time today and we where so glad we did, the staff and food we had was excellent. you felt loke you where stepping back in time. it wss so cool, I highly recommend Jimmy Johns, we will be definitely going back there when we are in town, and the owner could not have been nicer. thank you so much for the experience“

“Deliscious berger, would try again. JUST NOT ON TACO TUESDAYYYYYY #TACO#TUESDAYY“

“Our grandchildren love coming here. They have every flavor of frozen yogurt and countless toppings and syrups. I love they charge you by weight, instead of the size of the bowl. For the younger ones, they need a bigger bowl, even though they only may fill it halfway. It keeps them less messy by keeping everything in the bowl. Also, they sell frozen yogurt cakes. I had no idea, but I love this. Next time I need to buy an ice cream cake, I'm going to pick one of these up. They are a bit pricey, but no more a regular ice cream cake at the market.“

“BEST WATER ICE IN DELAWARE and Pizza Perfect!!! We love you Bernie...The Wise Family💕“

“Service is really good, arrived and a kind young gentleman (I wonder if he was the manager, wish I could have gotten his name) was ready to help us out. Cake was delicious, you made my daughter’s bd a success, thank you so much for the coffee and the donut as well!“

“My wife and I finally were able to try out this quaint charmer. We ordered French toast and an omelet plus coffee. Everything about this place was inviting. Live music good food and ambiance has that cafe feel. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu.“

“My fiancé and I swung by tonight to get some ice cream for our pups. My fiancé went in while I stayed with the dogs but he said the staff was very nice! Definitely coming back, we all enjoyed it especially the pups!“

“Parking: Claymont ,north wilmington , need more parking areas ,

Wheelchair accessibility: no wheel chair accessibility at all In all Delaware areas i been to alots and no place for handicapped areas for those peoples tooooo“

“Rita’s is the local Water Ice chain (you may call it Italian Ice) that also serves ice cream, custard, milkshakes, and more.

A small is always enough for me, and often too much. Every Rita’s gives free water ice on the first day of spring.“

“Wanted to try a local spot near where I work and Andy's Pizza stepped up and didnt disappoint. I ordered 2 cheesesteaks fried onions and those cheesesteaks were amazing the girl that took my order hooked it up with fires as well that was an unexpected and amazing surprise. Definitely recommend Andy's Pizza and would order from there again and again.“

“I love Freddy's ~ Ordered Childrens Meals of Chicken Tenders with Fries & sm drink & Cheese burger with Fries & sm Drink ~ They were Delicious ~ Everything was Hot & Tasty with Quick Service & Friendly Staff !“

“This place is amazing and basically Smashburger, Five Guys, ShakeShack and more all in one. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for some good burgers, fries, onion rings, milkshake or more and for a really good price.

We got two burgers (with fries each), onion rings, a milkshake and a drink for only $22... can't beat that.“

“Miss Maya has created a customer for life. We visited a few nights ago. My boyfriend had a gift card and our terminally ill dog LOVES ice cream. Me and my 5-year old son went in, while dad and our pup stayed in the car. We did not disclose any of this to staff or mention that we were purchasing the “Like It” Sized peanut butter ice cream for our dog. While we were in line, my son was acting up. I was already upset about our dog and my son was on the verge of a full blown meltdown. Miss Maya discretely asked me if I wanted help. I accepted without hesitation. She encouraged my son to listen to Mommy and joked about putting him to work to earn his ice cream. She got a smile out of him. We checked out, I thanked her. It meant so much to me and was such an example of community and loving our neighbors. Today our dog crossed the rainbow bridge and gained her angel wings. My son’s request: to go get ice cream and see “that lady.” We did and Miss Maya definitely did not disappoint. She came from behind the counter and offered my son a hug. My usually shy, reluctant 5-year-old wrapped his arms around her neck and smiled. So much bigger than ice cream. She made a very sad little boy smile twice this week. Outside of this heart-felt interaction, ice cream was incredible and the facility is clean. For any nay-sayers on here complaining about customer service or melted ICE cream—I recommend getting a job in retail or the food service to get a dose of reality and hopefully some manners. Oh and yes, ice cream melts. My 5-year old can explain the physics later 😉 Thank you Miss Maya!“

“Placed a cake order the night before so I wouldn't have to wait. Got there and no cake. The staff was apologetic and refilled my order, but I ended up late. Not the end of the world. Staff was friendly and worked as fast as they could. Kudos to them.“

“Was very happy with the decision to visit the Springfield location, and the food was fresh and delicious. While other staff members may have felt lack luster at time, I really appreciated Sam who made sure I had the best experience and went out of here way for me.“
