Great soft serve ice cream. Wish there were more choices for soft serve, like strawberry. Our banana split was ok.... lots of whipped cream and coconut flakes - it also got forgotten about in the shuffle so took a while. All around not disappointed!
Wow—Viking Ice Cream completely blew me away! Every time I’ve gone, the staff (all super young!) get my order spot-on and somehow make it look effortless. What’s shocking is how much fun they’re clearly having—smiling, laughing, hustling—and the energy of the place is contagious. The flavors are endless, and I’ve made butter pecan my go-to when I’m here visiting from New York with family and friends. The outdoor tables are perfect for enjoying it, but let me warn you: the size of ice cream they stack on a cone is massive—you better eat fast before it topples! Absolutely awesome spot with parking and easy walk up.
Great flavor options and large portions for a decent price!
Best Clear Lake soft serve New flavors every week Over sized servings are great
Black raspberry cones are our Go-To.
Wonderful place. Get the small size of whatever you get...it will be enough. They pile up the ice cream here. If you get a tornado, it will be loaded up with cookies or candies or whatever you add to it. You will be full.
The best ice cream ever!!
Big servings of soft serve ice cream, many flavors to choose from.
This was some great ice-cream deserts but you will have a little bit of a wait but the staff do an awsome job.
Very good atmosphere needs more chairs and tables good selection of ice cream.

Ice cream was fantastic and the servers were great. However, one of the workers (an older man who said he works for the owner) made a huge scene because we moved one of the picnic tables to a shaded area. We tried to explain that we moved it because it was in the sun and there were a ton of flies from all the ice cream drippings under the table, but he wasn't having it. We apologized and told him we were going to move it back but he kept yelling at us, cursing at us, and making racial slurs and my father (who immigrated to the US from Argentina and then served 21.5 years in the USAF) while telling him that he didn't want his service and that he should go back to his own country in Ethiopia...keep in mind this was all taking place while we were there with 6 kids all under 9.
To the owner: I highly suggest you remove the older gentleman from your establishment. His attitude towards us was completely uncalled for, disrespectful, and a disgrace to your business.
Well worth a visit when you're in the Clear Lake area. My go-to is raspberry soft serve with cookie dough. Sooooo good!
Great place
Extremely delightful spot with tremendous portions. A great stop on a hot day near Clear Lake!
Nice service
