"Best ice cream place in 2 towns. Homemade and they don't skimp you on the portions like deary bros and charge you 10 bucks a cone. Playground for the kiddos and you can get gardening and lawn care products there."

"Yummy ice cream! We had 4 orders, 1 was the chocolate dipped waffle cone with 2 scoops of cheesecake for my husband, it was huge and delicious, but didn't really have a cheesecake flavor. Then we ordered 1 scoop coffee Oreo on a sugar cone it was good!! 3rd order was the cookie jar ice cream 1 scoop with peanut butter sauce, definitely would get again! 4th order was a coffee milkshake and that was said to be delicious. Would definitely go back again the price for these was very reasonable!!"

"Delicious home made ice cream, and the fresh cut fries and hot food looked and smelled very good, but we did not have any this time. Ice cream is creamy with a good selection, such as blueberry (made with pureed blueberries), maple walnut, the best (according to my son) mint cookie ever. Also have NY cheesecake, raspberry, pineapple orange, yummy vanilla, strawberry, chocolate chip, and many other flavors. Shaded picnic tables, play area for children, and a small mini golf. Easy parking and access to highway."

"This was a nice roadside experience. Burger was good, fish sandwich was good, fries were very good. Server was pleasant, there is a mini golf, a gym/climbing set and tables under cover. Addendum, my daughter in law really likes the chicken salad. She gets visibly excited when she knows I can pick one up for her."
