5 Best Ice Cream Shops near Oak Ridge

“I almost don’t want to say how DECADENT the ZANZIBAR ice cream is…. Bc then it will be sold out…. And then I’d have to drive 14 hours to Wisconsin to go to the Dairy State Creamery to buy a truckload. … and have to share… just say’in“

“Our first time & we were happy with it! The only thing I’ll say is… We about didn’t even go. Everywhere you look there’s mixed information about them being in business versus closed permanently. My Apple Maps & Yelp both said permanently closed. A quick google said open with hours being updated 2 months ago. Almost everything else pointed to them being out of business… The FB page doesn’t have any recent activity. There’s no reviews from this year. It’s easy to assume that maybe they closed their doors for good sometime between last summer to fall. Just saying, because I’m sure we can’t be the only ones that have (almost) skipped out on this place due to the above. Glad we didn’t! The outdoor setting in Jackson Square is cute & the kid loved the pigsss… getting ice cream is always a fun little activity. I’m sure we’ll return. Onlookers… THEY ARE OPEN! ♥️“

“Went I was much younger, there were Baskin Robbins everywhere in Knoxville, TN. Now all these years later, they are scarce and difficult to find. That said, I was in Oak Ridge, TN last weekend, I found a Baskin Robbins there so I decided to stop by the Drive-thru and make an order. I looked on the menu but it did not see any mention of the Baskin Robbins famous World Class Chocolate Ice Cream. So I became disappointed until the voice came across the Speaker asking if I needed a minute or if I had any questions. I asked if they still carried the original World Class Chocolate Ice Cream? They said that they do. I became excited by the response and I order 1 scooped on a sugar cone. We drove to the Window and paid for our order, I could not wait for that taste once again, a taste that I remember from my Childhood. Then it the Ice Cream and Cone were handed to me. The moment I taste it, I remembered this Ice Cream from my childhood so vividly. It was tasty and yummy too, the Velvety Milk Chocolate & White Chocolate flavored Mousse Ice Creams mixed together. I will make it a point to go back to Oak Ridge and have more of this since it cannot be found in Knoxville, TN anymore.“

“They have a great food, but if you were trying to get a hold of them through the phone at their restaurant, they good luck. I have tried for over an hour and no one has answered. I need to tell them I want marinara with my cheese curds.Lol“

“Drive thru, so I can't really give an opinion on the atmosphere inside. In my car, tunes up, ordering a reeses cup blizzard... fantastic atmosphere! DQ always delivers! Delicious! Shout out to Ducky, who was working the window, for being cheerful, quick, and professional!“
