I took my 9 and 3 year old boys here. It was amazing!Some of the best ice cream in Memphis! Their bourbon butter peanut is out of this world (pun intended)! The customer service is amazing and their location inside the Concourse puts the cherry on top of the experience (to finish off my lame analogies).

Got a Root Beer float right after a good climb at Memphis Rox and I would recommend.

Great place for ice cream and different flavors they even let you sample flavors

Super yummy ice cream. Wish they had a bigger selection, which is the only reason for the 4-star rather than 5-star review, but it was really good. Recommended by a friend, so we took the family and it was a good choice.

I've tried the lemon type, the coconut type and a few other varieties. So far they have all been quite enjoyable & delicious! I prefer my ice cream slightly melted. This is probably the reason why I moved to Memphis. Just to live in an environment more suitable for quickly melting ice cream. Unfortunately, this place closes around 6pm so you better get over here immediately after you clock out of work! Or just call in sick so you'll have more time to enjoy ice cream. I guess the most probable reason they close at 6 is so you have the opportunity to enjoy the ice cream outdoors while it's still hot enough to melt frozen cream and fry eggs on the blacktop. Not sure why they don't sell eggs, yet. I had a pretty bad breakup a few months back and the ice-creamarista, Brittany, was a great psychoanalyst for me at that time. I tipped her something like $20. She seemed real surprised and real happy when that happened. Excellent listener and advisor. So if you are going through heartache and the ice cream with "Saigon" in the name starts to crack you emotionally and you think about your recent "Woman from the East" Ex, talk to Brittany and she'll give you some real good advice. Only thing I could recommend for improvement would be including a nice leather psychoanalysis chair for my next breakup.

Have been here several times over the last few years, even before the pandemic. This is my favorite ice cream place in Memphis. I believe that they make their ice cream by hand every day and they bring it from Hernando, MS. They have unique but delicious and sensible ice cream flavors like French vanilla or snickerdoodle. They also cookies and brownies though I have not tried those. My favorite is the cookies and cream but that is one of my favorite flavors in life. Service has also been great. Prices are appropriate. Service is also quick. Area 51 also has unique flavors of the month (season?) or something along those lines which keeps thing exciting, interesting and having me come back for more. If it wouldn't be bad for my health I'd probably come here every week.

This icecream was soooo good. Literally the best cookies and cream icecream that I have ever had. I had one scoop of cookies and cream and one scoop of peanut butter icecream. I wanted to go back for another serving but I just couldn't allow myself to do that. Haha! I started eating before I even remembered to snap a photo! The young lady that served us was so sweet and allowed us to sample the icecream of our choice. I will definitely be back!
