As a paying customer I expect to be greeted with a smile. Instead I felt like I was inconveniencing the young lady. She did not know how to say thank you. I had other choices of ice cream places to go but chose this one. Not again!

The older gentleman, I believe his name was Clif, was very rude and the food took about 15 minutes to get

I wish I could give Lic’s a higher rating because I've been a loyal customer for years, ever since I was a kid. Now, as a parent with young children, Lic’s has become one of our go-to spots for a treat. My kids love getting a bite of ice cream now and then, and we often find ourselves here. The old-fashioned interior design adds a nostalgic charm, and whenever we dine inside, we’re always greeted with warmth and hospitality. I've consistently felt well taken care of during those visits.

However, my recent experience at the drive-thru has made me reconsider my overall rating. The other day, after the lunch rush, my family of four decided to grab some food to go. Normally, I’d go inside, but we were in a bit of a hurry, so we opted for the drive-thru. When I pulled up to the speaker, they asked me to wait, which was fine since I hadn’t decided what we all wanted yet. After settling on four meals and two kiddie cups of ice cream, I started to order when prompted. But after placing my order, I was met with silence. I had to ask, "Hello?" before they told me to go ahead and continue. It was frustrating but not a big deal. I repeated the order, confirmed it was correct, and then drove up to the window.

At this point, I was still the only car in line. The person at the window handed me the two kiddie cups, which I placed in the cup holders, and then I waited for the rest of our food. And waited. After 15 minutes, the ice cream had started to melt, and a line of cars had formed behind me. Finally, they handed me two of the four meals. Another five minutes passed before they gave me the rest. The cashier, clearly frustrated, asked if anything was missing. I said no, and as she shut the window, I heard her mutter, “Well good then.”

When I got home, I had to refreeze the ice cream for my kids to avoid a meltdown (literally and figuratively), which took about 30 minutes. The food itself was just okay. We ordered grilled cheese sandwiches, among other things, but the chips were placed on top of the sandwiches, making them soggy.

Overall, I was disappointed with the experience. I’ll still come to Lic’s, but from now on, I’ll stick to going inside. I hope this was just an off day for the staff and that future visits will be better.

My wife and I visited in store for sundaes. My large sundae was ok however my wifes hardly had any ice cream in it. We noticed immediately the floors and the countertops were filthy and almost every table was dirty. Found a table in the very back that looked ok but had to wipe debris from the seat. Can't recommend.

Real like the new paint color, building looks fresh and new. Our ice cream was sweet and creamy, the flavor tasted just the way it should, no short commings. ?

My family just left from there and ordered 4 peanut butter shakes. That was the worst tasting ice cream I’ve ever had. We all had to throw away our shakes because the ice cream tasted so funky and the peanut butter wasn’t even blinded up. There were just chunks throughout it. Ice cream was also on the warm side. Definitely don’t waste your money going here.

Lics has the best gourmet sub! Nothing in town matches it! Also, their dreamscicle shake is the best! Employees are courteous, and the place is clean! Love their food!
