I really like the amaretto cherry and pistachio ice creams. The chocolate had an icy texture, but the flavor was ok. Waffle cone was good.

The absolute best around. And the service is outstanding. They hire some really nice kids to do the scooping.

After a long day of visiting New Buffalo I finally made it to Oink's for an ice cream cone. It was super busy but the workers were patient. I love how vintage, original, and cozy it is. There's only a few places to sit inside but most people opted to hang out outside anyways. I was basic and got mint chocolate chip but they have plenty of flavors to choose from!

The ice cream here was just standard ice cream you would get just about anywhere but with a good variety of flavors. The service was my main complaint. The person serving us our ice cream was rude and tried to hurry us along even though it was not busy. It truly does fit in with the quaintness of the town and is a cute place to visit after a beach day.

Big scoops of delicious ice cream in a delightfully kitschy setting. I had a waffle cone with a Banana Pudding scoop and and a Jacked Up Tennessee Toffee scoop -- for dinner! No regrets.

Nice local ice cream shop. Hand scooped ice cream with many flavor options. I had the banana pudding flavor which I haven't seen at a ton of ice cream shops. It was also good! I would hands down get this flavor again. I'm glad they had a kids cup size as I just wanted a small treat.

I came here to get ice cream and it was great! There wasn't a big line and the service was very quick! The decorations are so cute!!

To flee! The lollipops are Made In China, with artificial taste. I didn't think the FDA allowed this kind of imported food!!

I was craving ice cream on a hot summer day and this place hit the spot! Loved the cookie dough ice cream.

Almost $6 for a very small scoop of ice cream is disappointing. Almost seemed like the girl serving me did it on purpose as others had bigger portions. The ice cream wasn't anything special either.
Amazing ice cream! Classic small town/vacation town ice cream shop with tons of flavors and kitsch. It does get a long line at night, but be patient because it moves fast. I liked it so much that I bought a tshirt on my second visit in one vacation (I wish they had comfort colors!) They do accept credit cards now.

Good ice cream flavor selection and the place was bursting with fun pig themed kitsch. The staff were all very young and seemed overwhelmed by the crowds of people. The shakes were pretty watery. They were unfortunately not very flavorful, possibly due to the shake mixer not being cleaned between shakes. I ordered a strawberry shake and the previous shake made was some sort of mint with chocolate, so the flavor was a vague muddled mint and strawberry.

Vegetarian flavors were good. I really liked the banana pudding in a waffle cone. Atmosphere was funny, plenty to see which kept the little ones busy. Outdoor seating too

Oinks is always a treat! They have so man flavors to choose from, you can't go wrong. The only drawback to Oinks is that they are busy, so depending on when you go, you will probably wait in line. They have minimal outdoor seating and no indoor seating. They have a bathroom.

Came here with family to get some after dinner treats, and it did not disappoint! This was my first time here and you could definitely tell this place was a unique, local shop with a lot of character and history - the building is fully decorated with signs and knick knacks. I believe when I went it said it's been there for 37 years! I was surprised to see not just how many flavors they had, but also the different dietary restrictions they accommodate (dairy free, gluten free, sugar free). You take a ticket number when you go in (old fashioned) and they do allow samples if you're unsure. My partner and I got dairy free chocolate (super delicious!) and her family members got dairy options that they all loved. The scoops are big here - me and my partner got kid scoops and that was a lot for us! Overall, a very fun and unique local ice cream shop that we'd love to return to whenever we're in the area!
