Not sure why this gets such high reviews. Ice cream was good. But…
No Samples
Tiniest scoops ever! If you like ice cream actually IN your cone, you (and your kids) will be quite disappointed. You can’t even fill a cone with 1 of their scoops.
There’s enough other ice cream shops in town that will be a much better experience than this.

Excellent. Little pricey but the vibe is worth it!

The brownie sundae was so good!!!

Wow what a great place to get ice cream. They have a really good ice cream brownie Sunday and apple pie Sunday. The service is quick and friendly even though it seems to be crowded the line moves fast. They cool pictures and old time collections on the wall.
Many things to choose from and indoor and outdoor seating. Restrooms and picture spots.
CASH ONLY. So bring some cash or use the onsite atm.

Always a super Long wait, only accepts cash, and smells like pee every time I have been. But ice cream is good

Rude as hell

Blue bell ice cream, which is good, with a good selection of flavors. Coffee shakes, which are yummy. Cash only, so be prepared.

Nana split was bomb!!!

The ice cream was delicious, there is no doubt about that. They had all the classic flavors and are apparently known for a sundae? We didn’t get it, so I cannot comment to that, but they say it’s now world famous!! Congrats!

No samples are allowed which is probably for the best. One bummer was it seemed as if whenever a flavor is out, that’s it, but they leave the empty tub there to get your child excited still.

The second bummer was the decor… what on earth is going on! There’s a creepy clown decoration in the bathroom to scare your children when you take them. Also, two massive cardboard cutouts in the middle of the floor that you get to tell your children several times to not touch. I would think that if you’re selling ice cream, clearly the main clientele is for kids. Why is your store not sending the same message? Please just choose one appropriate theme and go with that… it was just way too much stuff.

If giant pictures of precious dogs and random decorations don’t bother you then you will love this place because again… the ice cream was AMAZING!!! Not going to deny that!

Really good ice cream and very busy but some of the employees are very rude to customers. It was my daughter’s birthday and she wanted a shake. One employee took my order and then another employee rushed up to the counter and aggressively told my daughter she could not have a shake. So my daughter didn’t get anything and was very sad. I couldn’t believe anyone would talk to a little girl that way. My daughter was sad the rest of the day. They should get rid of that employee she is a heartless individual. If you don’t mind rude service the ice cream is good and the hours are nice. I will not be back. As a business owner it was a very disappointing visit.

Excellent atmosphere and delicious icecream, perfect for a hot and humid day at the beach.

It's pretty good. I had a warm brownie sundae. The ice cream is Blue Bell. They only accept cash and venmo. There is an ATM on site with a $3 fee.

They couldn’t assist my allergy request. Stayed in line for 30 min, when my turn came, the older couple who was working at the store, said at first that probably all of the ice cream has eggs. After me insisting, they gave me a book to look through with allergens. I spent a decent amount of time looking through the book. Then I realized the book didn’t have the flavor I was looking for. The older woman explained that that was the new flavor and they didn’t put it yet into the book. Overall they had no interest in trying to help.
It’s ok to have all the ice cream to be with eggs (which was not the case by the way according to the allergy book). It’s not ok to not try to accommodate customer’s allergy and to have no knowledge about ingredients of the products they sell.
