Ohhh... Beth Maries... Y'all can do better!! I went out of my way for an ice cream at your cute little place; I had not been there in years. One employee (the only one there) was servicing a group of five or six people. They paid and left the shop. The employee looked at me and said, "I'll be right with you....(something something...mumble mumble...". He began packing pints and placing them in their little white (To-Go) bags... it took a very long time. Then he handed them to a DoorDash driver. (okay - that's what he was doing... a little communication would have been lovely) He then turned to me (no thanks for waiting... nothing). "What can I get you?" I (laughed, giving a little grace) told him what I wanted --a waffle cone with a small scoop of the Salted Caramel (push it into the bottom, please), and I would like to taste the Peterbuilt. So, he handed me a baby taste. I said it's really good, please add a scoop of that on top. He must've packed the bottom of the cone with the salted caramel, then added another salted caramel scoop, before adding a Peterbilt scoop (which I asked for, "not a large scoop, please"). I even said, "That's too much..." He didn't acknowledge. I asked him, "Do you not have any help today?" he said, "Well, we didn't plan on being so busy today ... Columbus Day...(mumble mumble); we are shorthanded. He placed the cone (wrapped in the messy napkin full of ice cream) on the scale that already had someone else's ice cream drips on it... How many people have also paid for his napkin full of ice cream, and others (who have already paid for) ice cream? I loudly said, "Thanks for charging me for the dirty napkin". I couldn't even see the iPad screen... I tried to tap my card, but couldn't tell if it had been accepted. He then said, "Did you want your receipt?" I replied, "Oh, it worked, I didn't even see how much it was...". $10 .... T E N dollars for an ice-cream cone?? Seriously? Not even a thank you... By then, another customer had walked in, and the employee moved on to assist them. There are so many issues with this visit... We won't be back, but I hope this review helps others prepare for the upcharges of ice cream by the ounce. $.90 per ounce... and watch out for those extra napkins on the scale --they'll cost you! Oh ... your customers shouldn't be made to feel like an inconvenience!
I'm not used to eating ice cream in the middle of the day, but this is July, it's hot, and I and my friend are hungry. "How about an ice cream sundae at Beth Marie's?" My friend delightedly agreed. Beth Marie's, designed as an old fashioned ice cream parlor, serves up a plethora of ice cream flavors and confections. Some particular flavors that caught my eye were whiskey and coke and watermelon with chocolate chips. They offer other ice cream concoctions such as sundaes, malts and banana splits. Where does one begin with so many choices? But my heart was already set on a hot fudge sundae for old time sake and my friend decided to try one as well. Beth Marie's at the Denton Square location opens at 11:30 a.m. so it was perfect for our ice cream lunch and a cooling respite on a hot July day.
When in Denton... Beth Marie's used to be a staple for me when I am in Denton. I came in for a visit for old times sake... I love the feel of the place, largely because I love the vibe of an ice cream parlor. This one has an old time feel to it as well with an antique soda fountain and a Wurlitzer jukebox. The service is and always has been good here. They draw a crowd here but manage it well. The ice cream ranges average to really good depending on the flavors you select, and is a bit on the pricey side. At .90 an ounce, you can see where a cone will typically run you $7-$10. For me, their Butter Brickle is worth it, but on this past visit my Cookies & Cream was not.
First time here. From looks of the long line one would think this is an amazing place. The line went quick, the server we got was rude, impatient and made me feel like an inconvenience. I ordered my grandson a scoop in a cup, she stomped off scooped handed it to me with a piece of paper to take to the register. She didn't give me a chance to order my cup, when I did she got agitated. When she gave me my cup she gave a snarky look. I have never felt so disregarded. I was so upset I didn't eat my ice cream. I did take a picture to share. Good luck if you get stuck with the young lady with glasses, wearing a yellow shirt and a red bandanna on her head.
Was I pleasantly surprised! I thought it was going to be a basic blue bell ice cream and sundae joint but I was definitely wrong! They have lots of custom flavors and the flavors I got were phenomenal. So so tasty! And the staff was so so patient and warm/welcoming- helping me with recommendations and letting me sample to my hearts content till I found the one. They do not skimp on the scoops either!
I had heard wonderful things about Beth Marie's from a few friends, and when my husband and I were in Denton recently - the delicious smells floating into the Square reminded me that I wanted to try this old-timey Soda Shoppe. It is absolutely adorable inside! The decor transports one back to a simpler time. And they have a wide variety of treats to choose from - including things like "egg creams" from the good old days. We opted to split a hot fudge sundae since we had just had dinner, and the hot fudge was AMAZING! The staff was attentive and patient with folks who could not decide, and you can tell that they take pride in their dessert masterpieces. The store was very clean and well-maintained. Highly recommend for a taste of nostalgia - you are sure to leave with a happy belly and a smile on your face.
When I first visited this location over a year ago and ordered a large sundae, it was served in a tall glass. In my last few visits in recent months, I had ordered milkshakes to enjoy ice cream on the drive home. On my last visit, I decided to dine in, so I ordered a large ice cream sundae of my favorite flavor... Old South Fudge. When I received my sundae in a dish suited for a banana split, I thought it was in error. When I spotted a few diners having been served their ice cream in a similar dish, I realized that is now the norm. Eating an ice cream sundae from a tall glass is a different experience than from a dish. For instance, the chocolate syrup settles on the bottom of the glass rather than spread throughout the dish. Due to the high exterior temperatures, the interior of the restaurant was warm. If the scoops were vertically placed in a tall glass rather than horizontally on the dish, the ice cream might have melted at a slower pace.
Our favorite flavor is bees nees we purchased two pints for 8$ each we gifted one to family The BEST HOME MADE WAFFLE CONES
the eggnog and dr pepper flavors from here are great. the consistency of the ice cream was nice and waffle cone tastes good.
Visitor to Denton from Dallas and I just had to try this place (despite there being other closer locations). I have to say this place didn't disappoint! The interior is adorable. Old-school design and menu, lots of seating (bar, booth, and tables). The ice cream selection is humongous, with both iconic classics, and new and interesting creations. The waffle cone is incredible. Crispy and crunchy but not rock-hard nor brittle. Slightly sweet. I'd even order one to eat on its own (and yes, they do sell them empty). It's that good. Don't forget to check in for a 10% coupon!
Really good homemade ice cream and cute bench tables and kids tables plus outdoor seating. Tons of flavors.

Beth Marie's has been in Denton for many years, and the atmosphere is definitely the draw to their success. You feel like you're in an old time soda shop. The ice cream is good. And I believe it's all homemade. I enjoyed my sundae but there are a few other places I rank a little higher than Beth Marie's - taste only. This place knocks it our of the ballpark on their atmosphere and decoration. The people working there are always attentive, polite, professional, and quick to serve you. Top notch service. read more

So many options to choose from! Sunday afternoon decided to try a local ice cream parlor and was not disappointed at all! The long line confirmed that this had to be a crowd favorite. I agree! I tried butterfinger in a waffle cone and the vanilla base was so good. The line was long but didn't take long at all as the staff moved quickly and efficiently. The decor gives an old school ice cream shop atmosphere which makes it fun. There's even a small seated area outdoors. All in all, I will be back to try another option! read more

I'm on an ice cream kick lately! Lol so when I saw this spot by the square, I knew I wanted to try it. And my friend told me they make all their ice cream in house- SAY-LESS! There was a ton of flavors to choose from and you can sample up to three. Ultimately I went with the waffle cone for the bees knees, which is one of the most popular flavors. It's literally just honey and lavender mix together and let me tell you it is heaven! I love old school ice cream shops. What a lovely dessert for a nice evening out. read more

Cute old school charm; brings me back to my childhood days visiting ice cream parlors. Their homemade ice cream and town square right outside makes for the perfect family Sunday afternoon treat. Staff is friendly and fast; but does not make you feel rushed. read more

After a date night at the movies there is no other perfect way to end the evening. This cute ice cream shop is located right across the street from Denton's historical "Square". Which is great for a leisurely stroll, even in the winter (Christmas lights were still up when we were there- first week of Jan). I loved the nostalgia of Beth Marie's. As soon as you walk in you are welcomed by the beautiful aroma of fresh waffles being made into cones. I ordered a two scoop waffle cone - vanilla with toffee and big wig (I think that's the name?). Simple, straight to the point flavors with a little surprise in the crunchy nuts sprinkled throughout the ice cream. Hubby ordered the waffle cone with dark side (dark chocolate) and tin roof (chocolate fudge). We heartily enjoyed our ice cream selections. There was a jukebox that you could pick music on, a bathroom and lots of seating inside. The temperature in the restaurant was also warm, which made it extra cozy as we are our cold treats. Our local friend recommended this place - it did not disappoint. read more

So the ice cream is really good, really long lines and due to the social distancing (which I due support) we had to wait outside in-line. Was ever disappointed to hear they have noooooooo sugar free ice cream options for anyone? So my wife who can only have sugar free still waited inline for nothing. My question to the location is why? You make your own ice cream so I'm confused on why not have even one? Answer: To come?!? read more

I decided to come in just after some heavy rains about 2 pm. Not many people were inside (2-5), and I had no wait to try flavors and pay. Shortly after, several groups walked in. The average person spent about 5 to 10 minutes inside. They have free water, which is really nice. Most ice cream shops try to take advantage of the fact that you get thirsty after ice cream (or is that just me?) They had about 40 flavors and some had unique names. Cinnoat, bees nees, trick or treat, and salty dog. I really wanted to have the ice cream that they were trying to get customers to help with a name: Blackberry, goat cheese, and thyme. It sounds delicious, like a sweet and savory baked brie at the holidays. The server was knowledgeable about the ingredients in each flavor. I probably asked her about 4 or 5 ice creams. She wasn't bothered by my taste testing either. Here's why this place ended up being average for me: the horchata sorbet was very gritty, the bees nees (honey lavender, one of their most popular flavors) ended up losing its flavor as you continued to eat it, and lastly, the price. I understand charging more for ice cream made in house, but I was surprised that they also weighed the cone. So if you choose a waffle cone, you're also being charged the $0.67/oz. I had two scoops on a cake cone and paid $4.49. I wish the server would've warned me it was charged per oz so I could've asked for smaller scoops. Overall, this was a not bad, but not great ice cream stop. read more
