About Willy's Ice Cream

Willy's Ice Cream is a popular soft serve dessert spot that offers chocolate, vanilla, swirl, and a flavor of the week. Since opening in 1995 by William (Bill) McClung and now operated by his daughter, Carrie, the shop remains a family business strongly connected to the community. They support local fundraisers and organizations like the Boys & Girls Clubs. The shop has no bathrooms but plenty of parking, with about 7 or 8 benches for seating. Willy's serves cones, cups, shakes, banana splits, and sundaes, with lines that can get long, especially around lunch and dinner times, but the ice cream is worth the wait. Customers often enjoy the fabulous lemon ice cream, especially when it’s the flavor of the week, and praise the creamy, thick texture of the ice cream. The staff provides quick service despite busy lines. The shop is a favorite for many who travel from several states, and a special menu item called desert nachos is now available thanks to a connection with the owner. Customers should be mindful when ordering, as no orders are taken by number or name, which can sometimes cause confusion.
