Nostalgia nowhere! Ahhhh if you’re looking for the Frosty’s of your past this is not it sadly. I haven’t been back to OI since 2016 and to say I was looking forward to a trip to Frosty’s was an understatement! I never, in a million years, thought I’d need to look it up on the internet to see if it was still there. So, I received quite a shock upon arrival. No offense to the current owners but honestly I wish it had a different name to go with the “new” place. When you say “Frosty’s” and Oak Island they always go together and everyone knows exactly where you’re talking about. Frosty’s was a requirement for my family as part of any trip to OI. It was on the agenda and it was something we never missed! Most years I could convince the family to go more than once! Part of the charm of Frosty’s was all the cute little Knick knacks and the coziness of the environment whether from the assortment of sea shells to cute little round tables that filled up fast! Some might have called it “cluttered” but to me it was “homey” and I knew whenever we went I’d be leaving with some special trinket in addition to a belly full of amazing ice cream! Was the new place bad you might ask… nope not at all… the young girl working was extremely nice and helpful, the ice cream tasted great according to my kids and husband (sounds weird but I think the reason it just tasted good, not great, to me was I was so disappointed) and it was clean and had a lot of indoor seating. However, if you’re looking for special trinkets like seashell necklaces and stuffed turtles you won’t find anything here besides ice cream and T-shirts. The atmosphere today is more of a modern place where people just go and have ice cream as an afterthought.The original Frosty’s was a family oriented place that served amazing ice cream with a story, parents had to watch out for sticky fingered kiddos picking up the Knick knacks but it was a given that said kiddos would, more likely or not, leave with a new trinket. Ahhhh… some things are better left unchanged. I read all the recent reviews and I am only writing this because I would like to suggest it having a different name. The first time oak island visitors are experiencing great customer service and amazing ice cream and that is great and I wish the new owners success but it hurts my heart to still have it be named Frosty’s. To those of us that are the “originals”hear Frosty’s and this is not what we know to be Frosty’s. Thanks for reading! Best of luck to the new owners! Wendy and Alan we miss you!

The ice cream flavors were very unique and not too sweet. The chocolate homemade cones were amazing. Probably the best waffle cones I have ever had. The service was excellent. The servers were kind and informative.

It’s so sad to see a place that you love and grow up going to all the time change not for the better. Their flavors have dwindled down in choices. There used to be so many and now there’s so few comparatively. It’s under new management and unfortunately it’s not for the better. I will forever miss the old frostys. Man, such a shame. ?

My husband and I have been going to Frosty’s for years. We were surprised to go in and find it totally redesigned, but we loved the ice cream and the new seating area. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Oak Island!

Frosty’s was AMAZING! First time in Oak Island and this is the best ice cream there! Next time we’re in town we’ll be getting Frosty’s every night we’re there! Also the customer service here is the best customer service I’ve ever had in my life, no joke! Stephan, Ayona, and the young manager boy were phenomenal! 10/10 for frostys all around!
