“After a perfect day soaking up the sun on one of Upper Michigan's beautiful beaches, my family and I stumbled upon what turned out to be the ideal way to cap off our adventure – Bardon's Wonder Freeze. What a delightful surprise this little ice cream stand turned out to be!

In a world where it seems like every food establishment is charging premium prices for mediocre quality, Bardon's Wonder Freeze stands as a refreshing exception.

The serving sizes were genuinely generous. No skimpy scoops here – they pile it on with the kind of old-fashioned generosity that's becoming increasingly rare. The kids were thrilled, and honestly, so were the adults. :-)

The prices were also incredibly reasonable. At a time when a simple ice cream cone elsewhere might cost you $8 or more for a disappointingly small portion, Bardon's Wonder Freeze proves that you can still get excellent value for your money.

The variety of flavors was impressive, and each scoop delivered on taste. Personally, I went for the Brownie Sundae with hot fudge. VERY yummy!!

The combination of delicious flavors, generous portions, and fair pricing made this a memorable family experience that perfectly complemented our beach day. If you find yourself in Upper Michigan and need a sweet treat, don't miss Bardon's Wonder Freeze. It's truly a local gem.“

“If you have to get fast food may as well be Culver's as it's better than any other drive thru I've been to. Great service and fair prices. Butter burger was delicious and made fresh. Onion rings were subpar- could have been thicker rings. Cheese curds were alright. Ice cream was great.“
