“I’ve been a loyal fan and customer of Goodberry’s Frozen Custard for over 10 years, and it never disappoints but I just had to take a moment to shout out someone truly special Dani.
Not only is the frozen custard always incredibly smooth and flavorful, and the milkshakes rich, thick, and irresistibly creamy, but it’s the people like Dani who really make the experience unforgettable. Her warm greeting, genuine smile, and sincere thank yous that make every visit feel personal and appreciated. She clearly takes pride in making sure every customer leaves happy, and it shows.
Dani, we hope Goodberry’s knows how lucky they are to have you on their team. Thank you for the exceptional customer service. It keeps us coming back time and time again!
5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ all the Way!“

With a very relaxed vibe, great service, and a true local feel – the drinks were the real treat. The carefully curated cocktail menu provides some exciting classics with a very sophisticated mix of ingredients to elevate each cocktail to a new level beyond my expectations.

“I just wanted to give a shout out to the young woman who was working the front today. I keep seeing your business on social media and prefer to support local so I drove to WF to check it out. It was very quaint with great outdoor seating and the food was good. However, the service was OUTSTANDING. This young woman was working the register, answering the phone and waiting tables. All with the most pleasant personality I have seen in a long time! She was so pleasant that I asked her if she was the owner because you certainly don’t see many, if any, employees have such an outstanding attitude! If all of your employees are like her ( and you keep her) , word of mouth and great reviews will help you become hugely successful hopefully! Thank you to the young woman who went out of her way to be so kind. You should be a business owner or in sales ( which I told her 😀)“

“Inside had fun and interesting decor. It was dark and had great ambiance. The temperature outdoors was just too perfect not to sit at one of the outside tables. Besides, there were dogs! The food was amazing. Although I'm stuffed, my husband would have enjoyed larger portions. They brought salsa and we ordered queso, both so good! The queso had just a little heat and the salsa was sweet. We will definitely return!“

“I had an amazing experience at Norse Brewing! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a great Viking-inspired aesthetic that sets it apart from other breweries. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making great recommendations based on my tastes. The beer selection is fantastic—every brew I tried was top-notch, but the Mjölnir Stout and Ragnar’s Red Ale were absolute standouts. You can tell they put a lot of care into their craft, with bold flavors and smooth finishes. The food was just as impressive, with hearty, well-prepared dishes that paired perfectly with the drinks. If you’re looking for a unique spot with great beer, delicious food, and an awesome atmosphere, Norse Brewing is the place to go. I’ll definitely be back! Skål! 🍻“
