Mexican hot chocolate Salted Pecan
Daniel A.

One of the favorite ice cream joints I tried on my cross country trip. So many flavors that are done really well. Loved the Bourbon Salted Pecan, creamy and such a rich flavor. Savored it all and so much salty, sweet flavor. The Mexican Hot Chocolate was also fantastic and they didn't shortsell the spice level. A nice spicy kick with the cream chocolate. Delicious! Also love the store theme and name, well done!

This place is pretty good. I've driven by Area 51 a few times and on Father's Day after dinner we decided to try it. I'm happy we did. As soon as you walk in the door you're greeted with the scents of cream, butter and sweats. There were a few unique flavors and seasonal favorites available. I enjoyed the Blueberry Goat Cheese or something like that...it's was the bomb. I think I heard it's a number one seller. My waitress at ACs (where we went for Father's Day dinner) recommended it. The staff was friendly and efficient. There was no waiting around. :-). I like that. Additionally, the dining area was clean and there was plenty of room between tables. Overall, the ice cream was delicious. The place was clean. The staff was friendly. What more can you ask for.

It is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Definitely one of the better locally owned ice cream/sweet shops I have been to. The flavors change occasionally opening a new door to new and delicious flavors made locally. You will not want to pass this place up when driving through Hernando. Easily accessible right off off of I-55 and Hwy 51 as well. Stop by and try some highly classified flavors and treats at Area 51!

All of the ice cream is delicious. The blueberry cobbler is awesome! The service has always been great as well.

This is the best Ice Cream in Hernando. Freshly made on the regular. You sample all the flavors before picking the one you want.

Probably my favorite ice cream ever! Wish they would open a location in Natchez MS. You would sell so much ice cream :)

I see most of these reviews are older and there's apparently an old man owner that is incredibly…read morerude ... fortunately for me I've visited quite a few times in the last month (visiting my partner that's working here) and I've had nothing but great experiences with all female workers. The "spicy" fries are delicious Cajun fries not actually spicy and very crispy. I've really enjoyed the chicken tenders and they always give a lot of sauce! I feel the prices are fair me and my partner share a medium fries, medium tender, 2 drinks $20 and it's enough for us to be full for hours and we've really enjoyed. The chocolate lovers trash ice cream is also fantastic! I have typically gone for lunch and there is usually not a line but I will say it takes them about 15 to 20 minutes to get the food out. I did go once for dinner and the line was really long and it took about 30 minutes. Overall I've had a great experience maybe they've kept the rude old man from coming ! I'm not sure . There is a self ordering on the screen or you can order at the counter and then wait for your food and they're also is a drive-through . Kind of a different set up but it works. Has very beach vibes idk how to explain it like you would see it on a boardwalk.

Delicious burger!!! Friendly service!!! The fries were plentiful!!…read more Highly recommend!!!
