We ordered the Banana Split. Frankly, I have never had a worse Banana Split. The banana, strawberry topping and strawberry ice cream all had the same almost chemical, acidic taste, and left an aftertaste. Maybe it had a preservative on it? Who knows. The vanilla ice cream was good, and the chocolate ice cream was decent. But, we ended up throwing about a third of it away, and felt it was mostly a waste of money. We went through the drive-through. There were at least two young men inside, and they got the order to us quickly. read more

Love their ice cream, even at $5-6 per cone. But I hate that their employees ask for a tip for handing it to you. These are not $3 per hour restaurant employees. I always tip them generously so they can net a decent wage. But adding a $1 onto a $6 cone just to have them had it to me is awfully entitled. They don't f Just have a tip jar, they ASK if you're including a tip! I decided to give up Bruster's, as much as I love their ice cream. read more

First time to this Ice cream joint. It was good, but wished they had listened to my order. It would have been better. It was epic!!!

The ice cream is delicious and a fun place to be on a summer evening. The issue was 3 people servicing the drive through window and only one girl running the walk up window. Take orders and serving ice cream. It took us over 30 mins to get our small order of ice cream. read more

The ice cream is good, but nowhere near good enough for the amount of time you spend waiting for it. Almost anytime you go in the summer evenings, there are between 10 to 15 cars in line, and it will always take about 45 minutes. It is ridiculously long to wait for ice cream. I mean, you grab a scoop, scoop the ice cream, place it in a cone, hand it out the window. It is not rocket science. The teenagers working there have obviously had little or no training, so I can't completely blame them. For example, when we went last night, we got four ice cream cones and two of them had the same ice cream flavor. They came to the window and gave us one cone, then the other cones that were different flavors, and finally the fourth cone which was the same flavor as the first cone. Why not scoop the same flavors together?!? There is nothing logical about the way they provide customer service. Will someone PLEASE open another ice cream shop in town???? read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - NOW THATS A MILKSHAKE - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Anderson, South Carolina

For some reason they are having problems making banana splits. I go thru one night and they just cut a banana in half and put in there. There was some giggling before it was handed to me, so now I know why. I go thru another night and they tell me they can't make banana splits, so I think maybe they're out of bananas. I try to order a sunday and get a...we can't make those either. I just leave without buying anything. I go thru today and order a BANANA split...it had zero bananas. Do you all care how they treat customers? Oh yeah, before I got on here; I did try calling but no answer. In case you were wonderin; I am always nice to them anyway. read more

Just spent over 7$ for basically a bowl of whip cream. Very little ice cream in the cup. Such a waste of money. Won't be going here again ! I would advise you to go elsewhere if you actually want ice cream to eat ! read more

I'm so confused for the negative reviews. We had the best experience The two times we've been here. We're from out of state so we probably won't be back for a very long time. But I'm really glad that we got to come here. The ice cream is fresh and delicious with unique flavors. My favorite is the coffee Oreo. It is absolutely amazing. My husband and son had the malted shake and it had big chunks of malt in it and was super thick. My daughter said the cookies and cream has cookies and every bite. If you're in the area I would highly suggest coming here. You will not be disappointed. read more

Bruster's is a happy little ice cream parlor tucked away across from the mall down on Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. in Anderson. Its location is rather obscure, so if you don't know where it is you're not likely to run across it. The folks who work there have always been friendly, helpful and upbeat. They have over twenty flavors of premium ice cream to choose from. They also have yogurts, no sugar added/fat-free ice cream, sherbets, Italian ice and sorbets. You can also get shakes and sundaes. As of October 10, 2016, the following prices were in effect: For a cake cone, cup or sugar cone: Sm $3.19 Reg $4.12 Lg $5.05 For a waffle cone: Sm $3.90 Reg $4.72 Lg $5.65 So you can see, they are not cheap, but I can tell you that they are good. And another thing...look for coupons. They had valuable coupons out the entire summer of 2016. Good ones, like BOGO and dollars off, well worth finding. Hours of operation Su 11am - 10pm Mo 11am - 10pm Tu 11am - 10pm We 11am - 10pm Th 11am - 10pm Fr 11am - 11pm Sa 11am - 11pm Bruster's is a colorful, clean, bright spot on an otherwise desolate road in Anderson. They serve delicious treats that make people happy, and for that, they should be supported. I have been multiple times, and I will definitely be back! read more

See all

Always friendly and polite. Ice cream is never disappointing Would highly recommend

Always out of everything! last 2 times we have went we've waited 45 mins or more!

Great ice cream. Quick service, seating outside and the variety of flavors keeps changing throughout the year. If you're out for a great tasting scoop of ice cream in the area, check this brusters out. My favorites are Central Graham Station, Southern Banana Puddin', and a Coffee Chocolate Chip waffle cones. Scoops are large enough to satisfy a bit eater. Price is ok. Recommended. read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Anderson, South Carolina

Waited 45 minutes for one scoop of ice cream and finally just gave up and left because there were still 6 people before us (there were only 11 in line when we ordered). We ended up buying ice cream at the grocery instead. Saw multiple orders messed up which made the wait even longer. I totally understand a bit of a wait when places are really busy, but everything about this place seemed disorganized and poorly managed. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by Bruster's. I had the hot fudge brownie sundae made with death by chocolate ice cream, and it was fantastic. I will definitely be returning. read more

Ice cream is really nice, I love the flavor. One thing I am very disappointed that drive thru ask for tips. Tips should not be asked. You feel obligated to give tip even you waited 20 to 30 mins drive. Just placing order and accepting payment doesn't mean you provided exceptional service. STOP asking for tips it should be customer choice. read more

Great place for ice cream but the service is so slow. Drive thru takes at least 45 mins each visit. Walk up window is about the same. Nothing but teenagers working inside. They need some sort of management present or hire more workers! read more

I'm sad I went there yesterday to get a cone of cookie craze which I've been waiting for ever since they sent me those coupons with the seasonal flavors!! And when I got it it was softer than soft serve ice cream! It was dripping within two minutes, I wasn't even eating it outside I was in my air conditioned car! I felt like I couldn't really enjoy the ice cream because they gave it to me already melting. I'm disappointed!! There flavors are super good otherwise I'm not sure if it was just this experience with this flavor or what. read more

This place is generous with the ice cream, the service and the flavors. The handmade cones, fresh churned ice cream and the flavors; there's something for everyone to love. I lost count of how many times we've ordered the coffee ice cream and mint chocolate chip, but they were unparalleled by any other ice cream joint in the area. read more

Delicious ice cream and they even offered to make my pup a treat! He got a little bit of vanilla ice cream on top of a doggie biscuit. I think I was more stoked about t than my dog. If businesses appeal to dog owners, I'm hooked!! read more

Excellent service and hospitality from Sir Luke who works in the palace that is Bruster's. Our car was broken down and he was able to help us. What a hero. Come see Sir Luke; we are forever indebted to him. read more

Yummy! My father and I like to stop here for a treat after movies. Plenty of flavors and kind, sincere staff. Seems stuck in the 1950s, in a good way. Oreo cheesecake is yummy! Nice place for dessert read more

My husband loves ice cream and so do I , the people are friendly and they have a good variety of flavors, we are getting an ice cream cake from there for early September, there is something to please everyone. read more

Took a quart home for my wife. Great place if you go on the right days and remember to take your coupons. Family really likes it here.

LOVE LOVE LOVE Bruster's Ice Cream! I haven't tried a flavor that I didn't want to eat more of. The waffle cone, to me, wasn't as good as it smelled. But the ice cream was amazing! read more

Love the variety of flavors! Since its location is a bit obscure near the mall it took me a few tries to find it. Definitely a must have after a long day read more

It's great! Although their best ice creams are never available. Graham central station, peanut butter butterfinger crunch or New York cheesecake. read more

This place is WAY too high in price. You almost have to take out a second mortgage on your house to buy a milkshake there! We perfer to go Downtown to Besto`s or Dickson`s ice Cream on the square. Much better, local and alot cheaper!!!!!!!!! read more
