Excellent place for ice cream and nuts. Numerous flavors for ice cream. I enjoyed Toms Traxs and the Ooey Gooey Cake. There all kinds of sweet treats for sale and sandwiches and such if you are hungrier. If you are close, stop in and enjoy.

Delicious as always, I love the no sugar added ice cream and the ribeye. Great service as well, great staff.

This is another stop on the Ohio Ice Cream Trail.
We decided to have lunch here before we indulged in ice cream. I had a hot dog and onion rings and my husband had the Monte Cristo. Mine was typical, I didn't expect spectacular, but my husband was really looking forward to his. Unfortunately, it wasn't great. When it said served with strawberry jam he wasn't expecting the jam to be Smuckers out of the plastic single serve containers you find sitting on the table at Waffle House.
The ice cream, however, was good. I had the Biscoff which tasted exactly like the cookies and there were cookie pieces in it. It could be the best flavor I've had! My husband had the Ooey Gooey Butter Cake and I liked it far more than he did. I thought there would be bits of cake, but there wasn't. It had nice butterscotch flavor ripples in it though. The portions are huge and the sundaes looked really good. Definitely something there for everyone.
The service was fair, but to be fair, those girls were hoppin'. They were serving inside tables as well as outside. We were lucky enough to get a seat right away but there was soon a wait.
The place was really cute. It is very vintage and we felt like we were at a place my parents would have visited when they were kids. There is a food counter, a candy and nut counter, and a large outdoor seating area. There are also vintage gliders where you can relax and watch the neighborhood while enjoying your treats.
Final take for me is that I would go again and again for the ice cream, but will probably skip lunch.

Our antique car club stopped for lunch. Di a great job seating and serving our large group. Waitresses were outstanding.

Overrated. I first had been there several years ago and got the champagne sherbet, it had an icy texture and I was unimpressed, but thought maybe it was because it was sherbet and not ice cream. Finally made a second visit recently with family and got ice cream this time (English toffee flavor). Same bits of ice crystals throughout it. Another member of our party got the mint chocolate chip and it was an alarmingly, unnatural bright green color. The portions are large, but one scoop was more than I could eat, especially since it wasn't even good. Not worth the hype.

Absolutely delicious! We went for the first time today and wish we lived closer because we would be back all of the time! I got the gooey butter cake and peanut butter ice creams and they were both so good!!
