About Rusty's Ice Cream

Rusty's Ice Cream is a nostalgic haven with a unique 90s atmosphere. The friendly and humorous staff provide top-notch service, making sure customers have a great time. The premium ice cream is a highlight, with flavors like blueberry cheesecake and the Ninja Turtle Sunday being particular standouts. This casual spot is perfect for families looking for a fun flashback experience.

Stepping into Rusty's is like stepping into a time capsule from the 1980s. The moment you walk through the door, you're enveloped in a world that feels like a retro movie set. The color palette bold, vibrant neons and pastels, immediately transports you back in time, while the walls are adorned with classic movie posters from iconic '80s films. Overhead, a TV plays old-school music videos, filling the air with the tunes that defined a generation. It's more than just an ice cream shop; it's an immersive trip back to a time when everything seemed larger than life, nostalgic in the best possible way.

The ice cream is as good as any, and the venue itself is a great homage to bygone eras of ice cream parlors and the like. The ice cream is perfectly creamy, rich with a sweet flavor that isn't too overpowering. Each bite has a velvety smoothness that melts in your mouth, and the salty, slightly crunchy texture of the pecans balances the sweetness in the most delightful way, creating a harmonious blend of flavors.

Rusty's isn't just about the ice cream; it's about the feeling it creates. It's a place where the past feels present, where you can indulge in something sweet while being surrounded by the vibrant energy of the '80s. It's a spot that not only satisfies your sweet tooth but also gives you a sense of joy and nostalgia with every scoop.

Had Rusty’s for the first time today at my company picnic. The themed van and whole get up was super cool with retro 80s vibes! I had 4 different bowls of ice cream and all were super yummy! 🍦❤️👍

I would advise anyone against ever purchasing a promotional gift card for this place. Rusty's does not give you the coupon back if not used in full. I understand no cash back or credit as stated on the back of coupon; however, we had a $17 bill and the gentlemen took our $20 voucher and did not allow us to keep the voucher to use the $3 remaining for our next visit. We were told this was company policy. The voucher does not state that it was for a one-time use. It cost us $20...read full review
