“I have fond memories of going to Tony's when we would visit family when I was younger. We would always make a stop at Tony's! I have continued that tradition, and now anytime my family travels to the area, it is always one of our stops. Milkshakes are my favorite! Highly recommend.“

“Your Buttery Pecan is a thing of memories and dreams. (my mom loved Butter pecan and so do I (don't get it often.. or every where I live.. ). My daughter, who lives in the Neighborhood, suggested that we "stop by for a pint" this evening, while I'm visiting her. and YUM!!!. I'm sure we will be back before I depart for home. .(ps. the Mint Brownie Ice Cream is also very yummy.. and pairs very well with the Butter Pecan!!!.)“

“I love bringing my friends, family, and boyfriend here for a hot dog, chili cheese fries, and a milkshake! The ice cream is the best! Pro tip: mix the flavors in the milkshake you get! I love getting peanut butter and chocolate in mine to improv a Reese's milkshake. :) You can't go wrong visiting Tony's. It's practically a NC historical site.“

“Quite a strange name of the place. Pelicans are avian of temperate weather zones. Snowballs are typically in a colder climate zone. So .. Mixing the two gives it a whimsical avant garde atmosphere. The kids love it. It's good.. It's a happy time and place. You must come here. Oh yes I dare say you must.“

“Huge variety of gourmet popcorn and reasonable prices! They have a good variety of ice cream too!“

“The Dallas location is great! Enjoyed our visit with Jay today and the butter pecan and key lime ice cream was delicious.“

“Sweet Frog is a great place for frozen-yogurt lovers! I have visited this establishment many times, and have never been disappointed! Everything from the toppings to the “ice cream” itself has been immaculate! It does cost a pretty penny, but I think it is worth it!“

“You can never go wrong with a snoball from Pelicans! This location has easy access and a good amount of seating compared to some other locations. You can always look forward to a wide variety of flavors to choose from. The staff here are friendly and work pretty quickly even when it's a lot of customers.“

“Went with the grandkids and had a fun time. Enjoyed the ice cream, sorbet and milkshake we ordered.
Dolly was delightful and kind and serviced us well. We look forward to coming back.

Dietary restrictions: We were able to get non dairy for a g’child who needed that. She enjoyed her pink raspberry sorbet.“

“We love Morgan’s Icecream! My now husband and I hired them for our wedding to serve an icecream bar! We worked with them over email as well as visiting the store to taste icecream and cakes. Both Adrian and Elizabeth took so much effort and time into creating a special icecream dessert table that all our guests loved. If you’re looking for sweet and hard working people who serve delicious icecream I would definitely hire them again!!“

“Absolutely delicious and great value!!“

“Workers should have all their hair pulled back and not hanging down, basically touching the cookie dough. They also shouldn't be constantly wiping sweat off their brow over the food and pushing hair back out of their face with the same glove they are making the cookies. That is a health concern for all customers. I've complained about the same girl twice. She has black hair, wears a hat and eye glasses. Last time I was there, I took video of her. If the situation is not addressed, I will be calling the health department on this location.“

“We've enjoyed every product we've had here and particularly like the codfish sandwich and the pot roast sandwich (which is not visible on the drive-thru screens but is available if you ask for it. We also love the butter burgers and Especially the frozen custard! Service here is consistently good-a cut above other quick serve options. Enjoy!“
