Betty Ray's off of Antioch Road in Miriam
Susan M.

I've only been to this Betty Rae's twice, and both times were underwhelming. The first time was in the summer and there were a LOT of flies and fruit flies in the shop and around the ice cream. And the employees seemed pretty inexperienced and unsure how to build rapport with customers. That part was much the same this second time. I was there's for the special promotion "fill your Stanley cup with four dips for $10." It didn't seem like they had as good of an assortment and variety in the flavors as I'm used to seeing at the original store Brookside/Waldo, which was disappointing. It's been a while since I've been in the Brookside store but I don't remember the ice cream being as soft and melting as quickly as at the Miriam store. I probably won't return to this store even though it's on my way home, in part because it's more fun to feel like a welcome and valued customer. The employees weren't rude or anything like that...they just weren't engaging. And I was surprised they didn't have any idea why a promotion with Stanley cups was happening.

I stopped in with my toddler grandson to try this ice cream place for the first time. We were the only ones in the shop at the time. The service was good and friendly. The ice cream shop was clean and bright. I chose a kid size scoop for my toddler grandson of vanilla. I chose a double scoop for myself, one being salted caramel and the other being brown sugar pecan. The brown sugar pecan is absolutely addicting! The flavors were very good of all of the ice cream. We will definitely be back!

Food - good Service - good Ambiance - Ice cream place First time going to Betty rae's, actually in Prairie Village. Had to try the Goat Cheese, apricot and pecan flavor - tasty. Other flavors may bring me back. One shock to the system was that, with tax, one small scoop, in a cup (not a cone or waffle cone etc/no sprinkles etc) = $5 Maybe this be inflation etc but 5 bucks for a scoop?!?! I may need to see what Freddy's has to offer...lol

THE BEST ICE CREAM. If you have not experienced Betty Rae's you are certainly missing out. A favorite for my wife and I, we were elated to find out about the new location closer to our home in Shawnee (she cried). This location serves as a test kitchen to try out new flavors, though I was happy to see some of their classic flavors are at this location as well. S'mores is probably my favorite flavor, but you've gotta try the Joe's BBQ flavor. It's a trip. The space is fairly small and you may experience a long line given the new excitement since the 7/11 opening, just a heads up. Worth the wait!

Finally! The best ice cream in town is only 5 minutes away from our house. I cannot tell you how excited I was when I saw the sign went up. Been patiently waiting for opening day. On opening day, we came by, not once but TWICE! The line wrapped around the building so we decided to wait for the busiest to slow down a bit. We finally came by again today. And it did not disappoint! We got to sample some tasty ice cream. Finally settled with goat cheese & apricot & butter pecan. Heaveeeennnnn.... Cannot wait til our next visit!

New location alert !! My son and I visited this location on the grand opening day ! I grabbed my normal flavor selections, but was shocked to see a "Joe's BBQ" burnt end flavor . It's a great choice for someone who really loves the taste of BBQ. The inside is small with no seating outdoors . But even with the long line the service was great and wait time wasn't bad .

This is supposedly a single scoop, less than what typically would be a kiddie scoop.

We picked up ice cream this evening to take home. We were appalled at the size of a single scoop for the price. The single scoop given was less than what should be a kiddie scoop. When we went to eat the ice cream it had a ton of ice crystals and ice pieces in it. It was as though the ice cream was scraped right off the top of the ice cream that had been sitting for a while and melted and refrozen. We will not be returning. Have not had this experience at other locations. We tried calling to speak to a manager and no one answers the phone, nor is a voicemail set up.

This was after 3 small bites of ice cream

Ice cream was perfect as always! So glad they've expanded their franchise to other locations as it is always a hit.

Great throw back burger joint. Simple but good burgers/ fries and shake. If you have a few minutes…read morethis is your burger joint.

The TL/DR: Believe the hype on the overall…read more The more granular? Get a double patty, because they're smashburgers and they're fairly, uh, smashed. But when you add the standard fixins', then it makes for a good-sized sammich. But still, go for more than one patty. The 'Snack Attack' is their featured special, which is a burg & fries for a reasonable price. The double runs you a bit over $11 but it's a great value. The burgers are freshly made, they're seasoned well, and they're done right. But if you're a French fry type, like moi, then these are a don't-miss. Snack Shack on Johnson does their fries skin-on in beef tallow and the crispiness and flavor come barreling right through. Sensational side or even just on their own. One downside: ketchup isn't on the tables, just mustard, so you might need to request extra on the condiment. Yeah, but that hype. The burgers are good, not amazing. The fries, as previously mentioned, are legit fantastic. You're eating good for less than $15 in a throwback spot with a throwback approach, so that's also a win. The knock might be the organization, as it's just one register and the space is small enough that the 'line' is generally just a small crowd. Toss in some nostalgic photos and other yesteryear looks and this place is pretty close to the diner where Marty McFly first met his future dad. That image ought to cover any photo evidence. Parking is easy and pricing is competitive (have you seen fast food prices? Oy veh...) and the vibe matches the look. Definitely worth a stop, but don't tarry about when you have those fries, because they are a must-eat-when-hot experience. Last pro tip: Snack Shack does $1 ice cream cones 3-5 Monday through Friday as a 'happy hour', and yeah, those cones are worthy of being on a happy hour menu.

Service was friendly and fast once I made a decision! There are so many great flavors and you can sample them. I tried the crème brûlée, Madagascar vanilla and salted Carmel cookies and cream.

Prices aren't a cheap. $11 for two scoops in a red velvet cone. There is a freezer of take out cartons as well. I wouldn't move gotten some if it wasn't to hot out for the drive home.

Located in the popular Prairie Village plaza, the shop is tucked away in the corner next to Einstein Bros. Bagels. I can't remember if they have indoor seating, but they do have the cutest little patio! It's the perfect spot to sit outside on a beautiful fall day, enjoy the view, and indulge in some yummy treats. Nothing beats getting a little taste of home without having to drive all the way back! I will be back to try their other flavors as they rotate the flavors daily/weekly.

Tropicana has popped up for me on multiple occasions, and I finally got to try it out because I…read morehappened to be in the area. The menu was rather overwhelming for me. There are just so many things, I couldn't figure out what I wanted. So, my boyfriend and I stood there for what probably seemed like an eternity to the employees. Note, they also have a Spanish menu, which has different items on it. I found that to be interesting that both the English and Spanish menus weren't the same. Since I don't read/speak Spanish, I had to go off cognates from the French that I know - which didn't completely help, so I didn't end up getting anything from it. I finally decided on a banana split and churros with cajeta. I got the Dulce de Leche, Butter Pecan, and Mango as my ice cream base. The Mango was an odd combination with the more dessert type flavors, but it was the best Mango ice cream I've ever had. Well, I believe it was a sorbet, since it wasn't creamy, and instead, was icy. It was obvious that they use real mangoes in it because of how similar it tasted to a perfectly ripened mango. The two other flavors I got weren't as bold. In fact, I felt they were rather muted, but it wasn't necessarily a bad thing. At least in the case of my banana split. The banana was also the perfect ripeness. A lot of places that make banana splits use under-ripened bananas because it's cost-effective, so the split ends up with hardly any banana taste at all. The ice cream overall had a good texture. The churros tasted a little off. I couldn't quite place what it was - though I wonder if it's the oil they fried them in. I don't know how often they change the oil, or what kind of oil they use, but I only ended up eating one. However, my boyfriend loved them and ate the whole batch. So, not sure if it was just me or what. The service was average. One of the employees misheard me when I ordered a banana split, so she ended up making me a Banana Berry smoothie. My boyfriend confirmed that I had spoken correctly, so there must have been a blip in communication at some point. But she ended up just making the banana split. I felt bad because of it though, so I ended up tipping a bit more than I usually do. Anywho, I felt that this was a unique little spot for dessert, and I would definitely come back. Overall: 4/5 Food: 3.5/5 Service: 3.5/5 Atmosphere: 3/5

I had the tropical smoothie first. It was so refreshing and delicious, I think because they don't put too much sugar in it. I also had a scoop of ice cream.

Then I tried hiding the pill in a pill pocket, Velveeta cheese, peanut butter, ham, scrambled eggs, roast beef, cheddar cheese, five or six different wet dog foods and American cheese to no avail.. I was trying to find Limburger cheese figuring the strong smell might mask the odor of the pill. Then someone mentioned compounding her medicine into a liquid at special pharmacy. I looked up one relatively close to me and found Georgetown. I was skeptical as to how my dog would react to a liquid. The pharmacist said he could add either a beef or chicken flavor plus a little bit of sweetness and showed me how to fill the syringe. At home my dog gobbled her kidney food and her medication down and begged for more! I was estatic. The pharmacist also suggested buying a larger size than what my vet prescribed to save money. He contacted my vet for a new prescription. I am so thankful I found Georgetown. They are kind and so helpful.

This is for the soda fountain in the back of the pharmacy…read more It's a weird space; there's really nothing retro about it. But it is a fully functioning soda fountain with milkshakes, malts, ice cream, floats and the whole works. The malt I had was undermixed and underwhelming. The cheeseburger was awful: a frozen patty cooked by a teenager on a gas grill outside the entrance. Foodwise there is not much to choose from but there are a ton of drinks as well as Broadway cafe coffee. The atmosphere is weird, really nothing like a true old school soda fountain. This is not the kind of strange place that is even remotely charming. I'm giving them two stars simply because they are a soda fountain and have some beverages that are not readily available. But it would be much much better if they just lost the food and concentrated on good ice cream and soda fountain fare.
