    They let us ride along in the truck and buy water ice for random people :-)
    Amanda M.

    They were awesome enough to work with our nonprofit Keep Delco Smiling. We wanted to ride along in the truck and buy water ice for random people in Chester. It was a huge success! The owner is a nice hard-working man who seems to care a lot about making his community better. The water ice is better than Rita's, and cheaper too! If you're looking for a water ice truck for an event, you really can't go wrong with Big Var's!

    AMAZING! Student from Widener here... everyone should go to Bug Var's instead of Rita's. Flavors 5/5 Cost $ Size = HUGE

    I found a baby roach in my water ice! Var's has roaches.

    The water ice at Var's is delicious. It just seems to take a while for them to prepare your order. Well worth the wait though.

    I had an itching for midday ice cream and came across this little gem. The building itself is…read moreshared with a pizza shop that has changed names a few times over the years. The inside needs a little updating and better lighting, but it was clean. Unfortunately a brand new mega Wawa opened across the street so I hope they can coexist. The owner was also my server and she was awesome! We had a great conversation about the brands of ice cream she carries, the building and her passion for the business. She recommended a peanut butter chocolate ice cream which I believe is made by Kemps which was fantastic. I went with a medium sized in a cup and it did not disappoint. It was loaded with PB swirls and rich chocolate ice cream. Cost $4 and change. I love seeing how a lot of these small Ice Cream places make the most of their limited space and this spot definitely pulls that off. Cakes, water ice, hand dipped, soft served, toppings, sundaes, etc. You have to take a trip here if you get an itching for ice cream. The owner cares, she's crafted her menu for almost 18 years. I'm a fan and you'll be too.

    Any place that can make banana cinnamon soft serve is going to win me over…read more I may be easy. I've been called that before. But after seeing the choices here, this place might steal me away from Richman's. Simply because I'm a big fan of this much variety in an ice cream place.
