“This place is AWESOME!! From the cleanliness of the place as well as indoor and outdoor seating, courteous staff to the incredible flavors of ice cream, donuts and I especially love the pretzel. The best I've ever had! the ice cream is so creamy and fresh every time I've been there! My whole and extended family love this place and my 16 year old granddaughter says the ice cream is the best she's ever had...and that's saying something! Everyone..please come and see what all the hype is about!!“

“An amazing post dinner treat! Walked in, and I waited maybe 5 minutes or less in line. I order the Sassy Cow, and it was just perfect. Sweet cream ice cream, caramel, and chocolate was the perfect combo. The ice cream was really dairy, and rich. Would recommend for anyone looking for great ice cream!“

“We came there tonight with a big party and had the best service from the sweetest worker his energy was great and the icecream was top tier!“

“This is by far my favorite ice cream stop in the whole world. No kidding they are the best. This location is really unique and friendly. Located in a large Victorian style house, Cruze Farm East Knox has plenty of parking, lots of indoor and outdoor seating, and a drive thru! The staff are attentive, friendly and enthused for ice cream. Make sure to sample before you decide and they have pints of their amazing flavors to take home.“

“I found out about MMC from an ad on Instagram. I knew I wanted to try. Placed a ship order for one dozen. Ordered Sun and arrived Wed morning. Price for cookies good, thought they would be more. Cookies delicious & loved the creative flavor variety.

I have good friends who live in Knoxville. They have received bad news. Wanted to do something special for them. Immediately thought of MMC. I called the store about a delivery. I spoke to Caleb. He was a pleasure to work with. Very professional & excellent communication skills. He made the magic happen.“

“We had a great experience here today. Lots of choices, but the chocolate-covered frozen banana was the winner! Dad had a strawberry and cream popsicle, which was excellent.“

“Yes, yes and yes again! Absolutely delicious! First time and will be back.“

“Such delicious ice cream & cones and fresh made every day!“

“George at Jeremiah’s does an amazing job for his age, and you can tell he really cares about doing things right. He’s got that kind of personality that makes people notice him right away—he’s funny, confident, and has a vibe that stands out, which makes the whole experience more enjoyable. Even though he’s younger, he already shows the kind of presence that makes customers feel welcome.

On top of that, George’s service is genuinely impressive. He’s quick, polite, and always makes sure everything is handled perfectly, which is why I’d call his service a 10/10 without hesitation. Jeremiah’s is lucky to have someone with his energy and work ethic on their team, and it’s clear he’s going to keep making a great impression on everyone who stops by.“

“Really liked the Dubai chocolate brownie the first time we tried. But was disappointed on the second time we attempted to order. App says it’s available and by the time we get at the store, staff informed us that it was sold out. They should have advised us ahead of time instead of driving all the way to Clinton and took us 45mins to get there.“

“Good sno balls on hot days“

“Delicious, no wait, quick, cute sit down area with tables and benches.“

“We had a great experience here today. Lots of choices, but the chocolate-covered frozen banana was the winner! Dad had a strawberry and cream popsicle, which was excellent.“

“Mooyah...burger joint par excellence! Everything I have ever eaten there is fresh (prepared after you order) and perfectly seasoned. Service is friendly and engaged with the guests. But wait, there's more. I challenge you to try their chocolate shakes which are not dispensed out of a machine. I'd be shocked if you didn't say, "The best I ever had!"“

“waffle cones are the BEST !!!“

“With a rotating selection of cookies each week, you have to keep coming back to see what your new favorite will be! Or just check the app, but that's not as much fun.

My only suggestion would be to stick with the cookies and leave out the pies, cakes, and brownies, but they seem to be popular. 🤷“

“The chocolate malt was awesome, along with the great lady that served us.“

“Delish cookie dough soft serve!! It was incredible! The cone, however, was definitely not as delicious as I expected it to be. It had a citrus taste, different texture that I expected, and was super sweet.
No more cones for me, but I will be back for ice cream!“

“The Cookie Monster is very good I can’t wait to go there again. Very good service and they were fast“

“Thank you Pela Ice Cream for coming all the way to Campbell County for our VBS! The kids loved all the different ice cream flavors and do did the Big Kids.“

“Wonderful place to be bad! lol. Great food and customer service! Highly recommend you check it out!“

“Häagen -Dazs now has its very own Ice cream shop inside of West Town Mall.
My son SOGRa!n really like eating Häagen Dazs ice cream on his birthday.
This amazing ice cream shop has so many different flavors of Ice cream and high quality rich toppings“

“It's a lot cleaner than it used to be. The machines used to all be broken or the froyo would come out liquid even when it said it was working and could be used. I am glad they cleaned it up and got it together! Happy to come back now! The DOLE Pineapple is to die for!! 💜“

“I went there twice recently. Both times, the employees were very friendly, attentive and helpful. My ice cream was delicious! I got a waffle bowl because they make them in the store. It seemed to be a little stale. Also, I went around 8pm both times and it was still daylight. However, they had the barstools stacked which made it seem like they were closing. For the past several years I haven’t had good experiences here, but it definitely has improved! I would absolutely recommend them for ice cream!“

“Such a good hot dog! I love the fried bratwurst, the skin has just the perfect amount of snap to it. I get mine with just mustard and chili but the menu has so many options.
The thing that always strikes me is that the owners and employees always thank you for coming in and I truly feel like they mean it. You could make a cheaper hot dog at home, for sure, but they really want to give you good food at a reasonable price and they want you to know they appreciate you giving them your business.“

“Great burgers best burgers“

“I ordered custom filled cupcakes for my wildflower themed baby shower and they were incredible! Courtney listened to my vision and they looked great and tasted even better. Such a great place to work with - so friendly and such a cute place. Highly recommend!“

“We showed up unaware that it was 1 minute before closing due to the place being full of customers. The GM said with a smile, he would be more than happy to take our orders. After ordering, the employees began moving like a well practiced team. They were supporting eachother in every way to ensure the correctness and promptness of our order. The Gm engaged my wife and I in conversation as he began cleaning and rearranging the service counter with information on other locations as well as the companies history. In a few brief moments he was directing us to the pick up counter where we were greeted by another smiling team member helping us to pick condiments and suggestions of the favorites. It was an overall outstanding first visit to this professional, polite, fast, clean and curteous restaraunt. Once home, the food was equal to the service we recieved at the Seymour Freddies, fresh and full of flavor! Thank you staff for a great and memorable experience. Highly reccomended!“

“We found a new spot when passage through this part of Knoxville. Also great to support a wonderful cause with helping foster children and adoptive services in East Tennessee. The coffee was very tasty and the counter staff professional and extremely friendly. We will definitely stop by again.“

“My husband introduced me to this place last week. I had two scoops of chocolate on a cake cone. This is the most amazing ice cream I have ever had in my life. I can't get it out of my head and I can't wait to go back.“

“i needed a healthy lunch for 10 women...a book club lunch. Several of the ladies have strict dietary restrictions. vegetarian, gluten sensitivities, dairy and egg restrictions. what a great find to be able to make every last one of these ladies happy! Delicious options. 10 options, all accurately prepared with good speed. cute spot.“

“Fantastic establishment. All employees are phenomenal“

“Ordered 2 sopas... THE SHRIMP 🍤 WAS AMAZING...I honestly have never had better sopas in my entire life.. the bread was perfect the avocado 🥑 was ripe and fresh.. the wait staff is so sweet and genuinely kind.. 💕 💗 for my first time eating here I give this a perfect 5 stars.. with a glass bottle coke 😋 perfection.. will be back often!!!!“

“Contrary to some surprisingly negative reviews, I do like this place very much. I’m a lifelong Pennsylvanian and my fiancée is a lifelong Tennesseean. We were in town visiting her family this week as we both live up north now. The burgers were excellent, the service was acceptable, place was clean, prices were reasonable. I’ll be back when we come back to visit family again. I’m a fan of this place!“

“Adriana is amazing at her job! I have had several cookies from her and ice cream and she never misses a beat on them. They are made to perfection and the designing is always beautiful!!! She is also always so friendly, patient, kind, and fits your needs. Highly recommend this location and seeing Adriana ! 🙂“

“It’s a nice hangout for a treat but they call out random ice cream orders instead of numbers or names so it’s chaotic.“

“Food is OK but still good overall. Staff is nice but honestly sometimes when I've gone, I'm given the vibe that they don't really want to be there. This is also a smaller DQ than most others I've been too and it feels a bit sterile inside.“

“Thanks for the cookies to ETCH for pediatric nursing week!! Such a good treat!“

“Had pho with beef it was awesome Great spring rolls.. My server lilly, was the best, great service, great smile..“
