“We stopped by July 4th before heading to Sesame place for the fireworks. Great service and a variety of flavors to choose from. My daughter was even happy. She asked for extra sprinkles ( where did I go wrong, they are JIMMIES!!!) They even stuffed somein the cone for her. They take cash or cards, which is helpful. A few places to sit outside if you want to hang back and enjoy your cool great.“

“Always a nice place to take your kids on a hot day. Not a ton of seating if you plan on staying but the staff (mostly students) are all very friendly and generally very helpful.

Parking: On a busy day, parking is near impossible in the lot as it's pretty tight, and there aren't many spots, but street parking is always a viable option.“

“This is my favorite place for frozen treats. The staff is friendly, the place is clean, the atmosphere is delightful whether you get take-out or eat your treats at a table. I'm happy they have not closed for the season and I hope that doesn't change. I missed Peachwave all last winter!“

“Please stop by this location with the newer owners! This is our go to spot for our blizzards and also for everyone’s birthday cake! They always have the cake we need at the last minute and always are willing to personalize it. The woman was so sweet last time we got a cake and she let my daughter help her with writing on the cake. They also made a donation for my daughter’s softball team fundraiser that was very generous. Definitely make this your go to Dairy Queen!“

“I've always loved Rita's! my daughter got to finally enjoy a piece of heaven from my childhood. Family of 7. 4 of them experienced Rita's for the first time ever. We make it our mission to go twice before we leave.“

“As the weather begins to warm up, I start my Sunday night tradition of going out to get a couple of scoops of ice cream or water ice. A couple months back, I wanted to try something different and go someplace I'd never tried before. So, good old Google found me a place, less than a mile away, which I never knew existed! I jumped in the car, drove down, and (long story short), I was blown away! I will ALWAYS choose a small local business over a corporate owned or franchised operation any day, and this wonderful couple not only serves delicious ice cream, incredible waffles, PLUS extremely delicious homemade waffle cones and bowls, but they also serve up love and hospitality! This is MY go-to place now, MY neighbors, and a part of MY extended family of sole proprietors! I am so glad I wanted something different that night! I sure got more than I asked for! If you are a customer already, you KNOW what I am talking about! If not, please give ScoopAffles a try! I promise you will not be disappointed and... will absolutely get hooked! 😁“

“Today was my first time at Peewee’s. The selection was great, I was especially pleased with all of the vegan choices. I had been wanting to try the corn ice cream and it did not disappoint. Unique and delicious! My daughter got the vegan piña colada with toasted marshmallows which she enjoyed. The store was clean and welcoming, the servers were attentive and friendly, and the outside area was very nice. Will definitely be back!“

“I came with my grandma and boyfriend last Wednesday, and I was greeted with a smiling face who politely took my order, he was very attentive and he was so polite. This worker was by far the most kind one I have ever seen at any Rita’s location, I believe his name was like Anton or Antonio. He let us know what he recommended, and helped my grandmother pick what she should order. Next time I come in I hope he is working so I can be greeted by his smiling and attentive face again. 10/10 will be back!“

“Very nice staff and the ice was great!!!“

“We had a great first visit to Primo’s Voorhees location on Friday. My 4 year old is anaphylactic to peanuts, and we were so happy to find that allergen info was listed clearly on the menu! The associate was so nice and helpful- this is definitely our new ice cream place!“

“Awesome customer service. Great atmosphere for young and old and even the 4 legged friends get free Ice cream.“

“Amanda was amazing. She was all alone working and it was very busy. She handled it like a pro. Not only did she do her job very well but she did it with joy! She made our experiences great and exceeded our expectations! Thank you Amanda! You should get a bonus for working alone on a busy night!“

“Awesome service! Carol is such a nice person ! Kids requested a flavor she was able to find it and had it available in no time !“

“Wow the kids were so excited seeing the post for Minecraft sundaes, so of course we had to order them. We ordered 1 of each, The Steve, The Orb, The Neither world, The Overworld, & The Chicken jockey. They were all so awesome, & how clever & cute they even had candy chickens, candy villagers, pop rocks, sprinkles, candies, syrups loaded with whipped cream & a cherry top. The woman was so nice talking to the kids & she even had a pup cup for our fur baby. Looking forward to going back to Gracies. Nice family outting.“

“I love mixing flavors and trying new flavors. Blueberry will always be my favorite original flavor though.“

“Not only did the owner of this store go out of his way to get me a cake made when I screwed up and ordered too late but all of our guests said it was the best ice cream cake they ever had. I have locations closer to me but this is the one we will be going to from now on and I am telling all of my friends and family the same.“

“Very good. I come here a lot. The service is great, don’t even get me started on the ice cream, and it just gives off good vibes! Every time I come in to this shop, I always see someone walking away with a smile on their face. My only recommendation would be that it would be great if there were more soft serve flavors.“

“I ordered a smoothie today from this location. The manager, Peter, was very clean. He changed his gloves a few times within my order and another person's order. Peter, spoke well English and I was able to communicate with him well. He was very honest when I gave him too much money during my transaction. I would definitely go back to this location again in the future.“

“I think the flavors Piña colada and Key Lime are the best here... everytime I go there I received excellent service...“

“My oldest likes Rita's gelati, my youngest likes TCBY soft serve, my wife likes traditional hard ice cream. So usually, this means multiple stops when we go on a run for a summer treat. We decided to try this place on a whim and couldn't be happier. As you can see from the photo everyone got something and my every member of my family swears by what they ordered. The Cinnamon Bun hard ice cream is to die for. The quality of the Italian Ice in the gelati was amazing, and my youngest says the soft serve is the best she's had (it really reminds me of a better quality Dairy Queen). Anyway, you can't go wrong with this place. Remember they are cash only, so plan accordingly.“

“Great service.“

“This is by far the best Rita's around. The staff is so friendly & professional. Everything is always very clean - even in the sticky summer. 5 stars!

Dietary restrictions: The Italian ice is vegan. The sugar-free flavors are amazing!“
