We found this gem of a place during our travels in Gatlinburg,Tennessee. Delicious malts, ice-cream sodas, sundaes, and a whole lot more. Friendly service and nostalgic atmosphere. Something for everyone! Highly recommend! 😊
The kids' milkshakes were yummy! And my salty caramel truffle was outstanding! Thanks!

Customers praise the excellent service, very friendly staff, delicious ice cream, generous portions, and reasonable prices, especially for the tourist area. The shop features both indoor and pleasant outdoor seating under large shade trees, providing a cooler environment on hot days.
