Grandpa's Ice Cream and Pies

Great selection of delicious ice cream!

Their Ice Cream is delicious! And so many different flavors! If you are on the strip you need to go to Grandpa's Ice Cream!

People in the shop were great. Ice cream was good, but not the best I have had. I will go again, though. It is in a great spot right on the main drag. Staff was quick and very helpful. I was disappointed that you could only get 1 sample, though. Should be at least 3.

If you havnt came in to meet grandpa, you are MISSING OUT!!! With a smorgasbord of options in flavors and if you dont like ice cream, come in and try the key lime pie on a stick. Or a banana if health is your thing. Come in and say hey!

Awesome spot great ice cream

It's ice cream really yummy & kind staff!

I think the ice cream I ordered was old. It tasted freezer burnt. 🙁

A great place to do and grab some ice cream. Good choice of flavors.

Ice cream and Waffle cones really good. They have my favorite chocolate chip ice cream! Most places don't carry that flavor. Also "grandpa" super nice guy!

It's unusual for me to not read the reviews before visiting a shop, but my son and I are trying to visit a mom n' pop ice cream shop in each state and we were in Lake of the Ozarks just as tourist season ended and not much is open. It was a rainy and chilly Sunday and my daughter's 8th birthday, so probably no review would have kept us from going out for ice cream.
But alas, maybe I should have. The "Grandpa" was helpful and patient as our family of six made our selections, but in no way friendly, hospitable, suggestively selling or in the least bit seemingly grateful for likely the only business of the night.
The ice cream was average, but having the options of 40ish flavors, multiple cone types and accompaniments (e.g. brownies, pie, cookies) was great. Exactly what I look for in a shop.
The general ice cream shop decor is very dated but homey. I think the picture wall of 1st birthdays probably showcase babies that now have babies. But it's important to note that the other half of the store is absolutely unprofessional and somewhat offensive.
I'm all for small business, I go miles out of my way on vacations to support them, but I also expect an environment that is open to all walks of life and political thoughts. This shop was filled with for sale merchandise supporting one political candidate, including tshirts and signage with guns and ammo. We are a military family and I still felt uncomfortable with my children asking questions why the shirt said to shoot someone instead of calling 911. The number of US flag code violations was abhorrent. Hopefully after election day this will all go away.

I go to Grandpa's every chance I get. It's my favorite smelling place in the world. The prices are great and the scoopers are always friendly.

Best ice cream in town!

Best ice cream we have ever had and we’ve had a lot in our 60+ years! Super big selection to choose from. I got the waffle cone with chocolate trim and it was perfect!! My husband raved how good the ozark turtle ice cream was. We are going back again before leaving for home. The store is a little bit off the main road so look out for it tucked back there because you do not want to miss it!!!
