I don't go out for ice cream often, but when I do, I make the 30 minute drive to Big Scoop. Their selection feels endless with so many different flavors and combinations. I have yet to try the food but looking around at others, it looks pretty good aswell.

Old timey ice cream shop. Good burgers, great ice cream. Don't look at the clowns up on the shelf, though. Yikes!

Cool building, decent food, reasonable prices, friendly staff. Will definitely be back. Was a little quiet in the building. Atmosphere could be enhanced with some 50's rock or something. Maybe some Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, and Gene Vincent.

Andy Vargo: Own Your Awkward
This place is very amazing!
I was in Arlington to perform on a comedy show with my bestie Cheri Hardman and we drove even further north just to come here before heading back to Tacoma. And boy was I glad she suggested it.
First of all the decor and atmosphere are exactly what you want from a classic ice cream parlor. Everything from the red and white checked floors, the heart-backed chairs, to the lighting, were all the exact touches to set the tone. Then of course the staff, super friendly and helpful.
Now for the tastiest part... ice cream and food. That's the way we ordered it too. Ice cream first so we didn't run out of room.
There is a long case of every flavor of ice cream you could want at the counter, plus their full menu of sundaes and desserts to choose from. I of course had to go for the one with hot fudge and butterscotch in the same dish. While Cheri's was a hot fudge and banana dish.
Once the main course was over (dessert) we got to our sandwiches. My club sandwich was great with the perfect fries on the side. Plus I stole one of Cheri's onion rings just so I could tell you how great they are!
Drive out of your way to come here, you won't be sorry.
PS I didn't know Cheri was taking my picture while I snapped a pic for this review so you get a rare behind the scenes view. 😅
We went in there on a weekend and it was so busy there was nowhere to sit, so we were basically turned away. We were in the area again so stopped by and had a chicken sandwich and my friend had a burger. The chicken sandwich was good but the ice cream was incredible. Kona Coffee flavor for the win

After a disappointing experience at IHOP, we chose this place based on Google reviews—and we’re so glad we did. Both the food and the ice creams were incredibly delicious. The atmosphere was very pleasant, and the lady who took care of us was unbelievably kind and sweet. It truly turned our day around.
