“On 2-7-25 I ordered at drive thru. I waited for them to bring out my order. 4 cars behind me got their order.I went inside to find out where my order was. Asst Mgr Barb, without missing a beat continued filling orders, asked if they had my order.When she got no answer, she asked one of the cooks to make my sandwich.She asked another co-worker if she had coupons. Once my order was ready, she sincerely apologized for the and gave me my food and the coupon. I told her I was impressed with how she made things happen and took care of the situation. She was very professional and was doing an awesome job managing the business.“

“We go multiple times a month when it's open. It's just that good. I recommend the walking tacos, coneys and chocolate shakes. Everything is consistently good unlike most restaurants these days.“

“I enjoyed an AMAZING mocha shake, served with a big smile! 😃“

“This classic dairy stand offers great ice cream treats. It is a great place to go on a hot night for all sorts of tasty creations, and the staff provide great service. There are plenty of tables to sit and eat at. The downsides are how close it sits to Hamilton Avenue and its sometimes heavy traffic, that they only take cash, and the lack of restrooms.“

“Sending a shout out to Gold Spoon Creamery in Blue Ash. We visited today with our Girl Scout troop for a tour and ice cream. Emily was very knowledgeable, and the girls thought it was cool to get a behind the scenes peek at where the ice cream was made. The ice cream was delicious! Highly recommend them as a shop to stop by if you’re in Summit Park this summer!“

“Best espresso ice cream that I’ve ever had! My husband and I drove from Lebanon today to try the ice cream and it was absolutely delicious 😋 The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. We ran into a very nice young man who worked there who was emptying the trash and took ours for us with a huge smile and a “have a wonderful day!” Outdoor games that are free and trees for the kids to climb and scenic views of the golf course. Awesome establishment, we will be back 👍👍“

“Hands down the best ice cream on this earth! The employees are awesome! I'm a fan for life.“

“Amazing frozen yogurt open 24/7!!! Very clean and so many options it’s deliciously dangerous!“

“best ice cream around. The blue ice cream and all the Dole Whip flavors are just the best.“

“In Hamilton we love having Aglamesis. Friendly competent service, great ice cream and chocolates. We wish you much success ….“

“Wonderful ice cream and non dairy frozen pineapple and orange treat❣️“

“We were on a girls vacation and I googled Ice Cream Shop and found this one. sooooo cute and delicious. wish y'all had a store in AL. ♥️🐝🍦“

“In Hamilton we love having Aglamesis. Friendly competent service, great ice cream and chocolates. We wish you much success ….“

“Stopped on in for a little treat, and the employees were super nice! I sampled the darkest chocolate, the Texas sheet cake, and their seasonal wild berry lavender. The person helping me, (I'm sorry I didn't catch their name), was so sweet and helpful. Everything was clean and stocked up as well. I personally recommend the darkest chocolate for a decadent sweet!“

“Inghetata naturala, sanatoasa, gustoasa, chiar gazda face inghetata, ne-a aratat fructele din care o face! Senzationala! Recomand 5*!!!“

“Just the best ice cream in the world!!! Love the chocolate - so delicious. Always greeted with a smile - such a happy place😁😁“

“The Dips up to date facebook page is TheDip (one word) Fairfield!!!🍦❕“

“Free birthday sundae! Yummy. Get the app.“

“A Cincinnati institution…a must stop every visit!“

“I love Graeter’s ice cream to begin with. This location is very large a lot of seating and there is a children’s play area. However, the parking is very limited. Also has a drive-through option. Everything is reasonably priced and very tasty. I highly recommend the boldly bear cat. You can buy ice cream and other tasty treats. I saw some cakes too.“

“GR8 stop for a special treat in Cincinnati 🤙👍“

“Outdoor seating only.
Bring cash because I don’t think that they take credit cards.
Full DQ treat menu, including ice cream sandwiches and Dilly bars.
Follow the ordering process. One single line of customers. When you are first in line, advance to the first open window.

It is kind of like going to confession. There is a physical screen you talk through and a window separating you from your treat.

When it is time to pay, the window is opened and you get your treat. “When the coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs”.

Please excuse the Catholic analogies - this Dairy Queen is directly across the street from Roger Bacon high school.

Like I said above, bring CASH because I do T think they take credit cards. I might be wrong.

There is ample parking in back of the place, and it is easy to get in and out of here.

High school kid staff were warm and friendly and made me a perfect cone.

Love this place. Drove six miles to get here.“

“it was amazing. muy bien“

“Visited Graeter's Jungle Jim's location on Dixie Highway, Fairfield, OH, back in October 2022. It's a very convenient outlet, since you don't have to drive around finding a branch anywhere else. There are plenty of branches of Greater's all around in Cincinnati, namely from Downtown, Montgomery, Colerain and even one at CVG or at the International Airport.

During my visit, I ordered two pints of the Mango flavor. It was something which I had even tried earlier. It's quite good, which leaves you with a real Mango flavor instead of seeming like being articificially colored and flavored.

It was pretty good customer service with the Sales Associate being very courteous and quick. The store was pretty spacious.

Graeter's also has cake selections, signature chocolates, signature coffee powders, besides lattes, etc. Greater's is renowned for its iconic brand, something indigenous to Ohio. It's gotten a bit more expensive, these days!“

“Best Ice Cream in Cincinnati !“

“To the server (male, younger man) who made me my birthday sundae on March 26th thank you so much!!! You also started singing Happy birthday To Me!!! AGAIN Thank you so very much!!! The sundae was delicious and you were so nice and pleasant. I had no money on me to tip you. I will try coming up there same time, dates pending next week to tip you!! If you know who you are and can tell me exactly when yur there, it'd even be better. Finneytown Graeters please recognize this employee!!!“

“Their Gelato is great! Highly recommend!“

“great stuff! just tried it for the first time a few weeks ago. butterfinger vanilla mix is a blast! ;-) ��“

“Mariemont is one of the cutest cities in Ohio and of course they have Cincinnati's iconic ice cream! My boyfriend and I love to ride our bikes here and grab some ice cream! My go to is the Cookie Monster Sundae! I don't see it on every Graeters menu, but I see it here, and it's my favorite! We love the atmosphere and bench seating outside!

Parking: Great easy parking across the street and around surrounding street parking. All around cross walks too.“

“I like ice cream very much. I aways went there last year, this year the ice cream is so soft the frist time there in a few months, it was so soft iit almost fell off the cone. I fave them another chance two months later, the ice cream so soft it was no fun trying to eat. I wont go back“

“SPOILERS FOR GENERAL CUSTERS GOLF AND GULP BELOW:

there was like a REALLY funny monkey at one point and i think it made the whole golf thing really worth it. like this was the best mini golf experience ive ever had. the ice cream is good too. my girlfriend won though :( thank you Custer!“

“Fast and friendly service. Good selection and reasonable prices! We will be back.“

“So many selections that it's overwhelming sometimes. They have great customer service and good ice cream. The only thing stopping me from going more often is the long lines. It can be very congested with the way that it is set up inside, but is a great location for the downtown Fairfield area, especially during events.“

“The typical great Dairy Queen ice cream served here. Prices are great! Service is quick and the place is well kept up and clean. Staff are friendly and helpful.“

“My mother took me to this location when I was a girl and the staff was great offering samples and shop was clean. Of course the ice cream was absolutely amazing! Wonderful memories❤️“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Oakley Crumbl is hands down one of my favorite stops! Their Dr. Pepper dirty soda (with cherry, vanilla, and heavy cream) is absolute perfection—it’s my go-to every time. And the cookies? Amazing doesn’t even begin to cover it. We’ve honestly never tried a flavor we didn’t love. Every week feels like a new treat and they never disappoint. So glad to have this spot close by!“

“Had one of those days and decided to grab a sweet treat after work, lyric, the girlie who helped me was amazing, kind, and was the kind of welcoming you need after a rough day. I don’t know what she’s getting paid, but with her level of customer service? I can guarantee it’s not enough! 10/10 employee:)“

“Quick drive through service. great food, friendly employees.“

“I shop at Davis Cookie Collection every week and it just keeps getting better. The flavors are out of this world! I seriously haven’t had a single one I didn’t like. Even the flavors I thought I wouldn’t enjoy, she somehow made me fall in love with. That’s how good these cookies are.

On top of that, the customer service is exceptional. The owner is warm, welcoming, and truly passionate about what she does. You can feel the love and care in every cookie and every interaction.

This place is a gem. If you're a cookie lover or even if you're not, you need to try it. You’ll be hooked!“

“Best dessert place there is! I have bought the 4oz minis for 2 family functions and they are always hit! We especially love the banana puddings! Not to mention the brownies are to die for!! Perfect tasty bites that remain me of the corners of the brownie pan! Can’t wait to try the shakes and cookies next!!“

“My husband and I stopped here at Sweden Cream. We both ordered the number 1 special. The burgers were delicious with a generous helping of fries and a Dew. The music was a bit loud and there were no umbrellas up. Other than that everything was great“

“It had been many years since we had been to the Root Beer Stand so it was high time to come back. It had grown a fair amount since our last visit which was great to see. The place was really busy but they really are streamlined well and there was not a long wait time. There is a bit of indoor seating but a vast majority of the seating is at picnic tables outside around the area. Everything looked great all around the grounds although you must remember you are outside and there are a fair amount of bees around so beware of that. I had a footlong chili dog and fries which were excellent especially the chili dog. Also had to have a root beer float which was legendary as usual as their locally sourced root beer really is delicious. This is definitely an awesome place to go on a summer day for sure and it gets my highest recommendation.“

“Amazing and delicious! I cannot wait to come back and try a different flavor!“

“The coffees were decent. We bought a cappuccino and dalgona. The cappuccino was decent but only enough for around 4 sips! The dalgona was good. But again, quantity doesn't seem to be their forte. The cups were the size of a Starbucks small (or probably smaller) at best.

And then we asked for some water and they gave us half a cup of water and charged $2 for it! Oh well.....

Edit - The owner was fantastic. She reached out and offered to correct their mistake of charging for a cup of water. I will be visiting them in the future since I personally believe all places deserve more than just one chance to truly show their worth!“

“Great flavors of sorbet and yogurt! The customer service can be hit and miss sometimes. Most days the workers are just playing on their phones but I guess there's not a ton of stuff that needs to be done. The place is mostly clean and they do have outdoor seating. This is near Jungle Jim's so plenty of things to do nearby.“

“Consistently Exceptional Service at Nekter – Thanks to Alex! For the past six years, I've visited Nekter five days a week, making it more than just a juice bar for me—it's a part of my daily routine. Today, I feel compelled to write this review, not just because of Nekter's consistently delicious offerings, but to highlight an extraordinary employee who makes every visit unforgettable—Alex. From the moment you meet Alex, it's clear he's not your average employee. His infectious smile and genuine enthusiasm are evident from the get-go. Alex's approach to service is unmatched; he truly makes you feel like a friend, not just a customer. He remembers my name, asks about my day, and our conversations never feel rushed or routine. It's rare to encounter someone who exudes such natural charisma and joy in their work. Alex’s exceptional customer service has profoundly impacted my experience at Nekter. His attention to detail and consistent friendliness enhance the already welcoming atmosphere of the store. Whether it's his quick service, insightful recommendations, or just a cheerful greeting, Alex consistently goes above and beyond. Nekter itself deserves praise for its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, but it's employees like Alex who breathe life into this ethos. His dedication is a significant reason why I keep coming back and why each visit is as enjoyable as the last. For anyone looking for not just a great juice or smoothie but a genuinely delightful service experience, head to Nekter and see Alex. You’ll understand why it’s more than just a place to grab a drink—it’s a highlight of the day, thanks to people like him.“

“The cookies are the best. We never leave the The Trailer Park Food Truck without bringing the four pack home.“

“I’m impressed with the fresh ingredients, consistent high quality, great taste, and very pleasant staff.“
