Really good ice cream creamy tasty flavorful not overbearing. The ice cream parlor is just walk up. There's no inside so it's really cute for the summertime. The workers there are very nice quick and pleasant. I will be back for ice cream. read more

My favorite ice cream shop in Frederick. They also offer puppy sundae for free, which is very nice and I got 2 for togo for my boys. They were even wrapped pretty nicely so I can take it home easily. I always get Mango dragon fruit sorbet which is the best! Also, I got banana pudding and pistachio flavors. I got a large waffle cone with 4 scoops of different flavors, it was sooo big and sooo yummy! The staff was friendly and fast. read more

An amazing local business with great workers! The size of the scoops are amazing and the flavor is the best ice cream in the area. Brusters is always open no matter the temp out. Thank you Frederick Brusters!! read more

The ice cream is below average, service is mediocre. Went on a Sunday evening, they couldn't answer a lot of basic questions. A bunch of kids behind the counter appeared to want to not work, place needs adult supervision. Ice cream is better in other spots around the city. read more

So so good we always bring the family here and have a great time Chocolate Twist Banana split always my go too read more

I reviewed Bruster's years ago and am coming back to write that nothing has changed...with the exception that the general manager, Alex, is one of the most conscientious, mature and pleasant people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. The ice cream is made onsite, the flavors are fresh and they have a generous rewards program. I can't swear to it but reading some of the negative reviews here makes me think that they're written by some people trying to pull one over on the business--there are always a few of those jokers around. Bruster's is top notch and their staff, even though young, are courteous and polite. read more

This is located in the Crestwood shopping center so there is plenty of free parking in the lot around it. As with all Bruster's locations, there is not inside seating. You can order by either walking up to the side window or through the drive-thru. Their ice cream is the creamy, thick type. They have the traditional flavors and other unique ones. When I went I got a kids cone with a scoop of mint chocolate chip. I thought the ice cream was at the right amount of firmness and creaminess. For a kid cone the amount of ice cream provided was generous. My friends got a dark chocolate kids cone and a two scoop cone one with cheesecake. They said the dark chocolate one was good but the cheesecake flavor one was off and didn't really take like cheesecake. I do appreciate that at least the cones come with a plastic sleeve around it so the employees don't have to touch the cone directly. We placed our order through the drive-thru. The one taking our order was not very good. We had to keep on repeating the order. Make sure to ask for them to repeat the order afterwards because despite repeating the order several times, they still got part of it wrong. Price is one the pricier side but one and a while fresh ice cream is worth it, right? read more

If you like real ice cream, this is the place. Great food & service. It's fun to eat on the patio too. And they have a convenient drive through read more

One thing, just one thing. A waffle cone with cheesecake ice cream. Waited behind a car in the drive through for 20 minutes. It happens. Finally get up there and they hand you a pad to pay for it and of course add tip. My flipping cone was 7.00 with tip. What's my gripe? Wrong flipping flavor. Something caramel, toffee, don't know. On my way to the highway so not going back but pay attention. It was one thing! So disappointed read more

Their ice cream has a homemade freshness and creaminess that really delights. It tends to be on the softer and sweeter side, making it great for kids. The cherry vanilla is packed with whole cherries, maybe even too many, but it's so irresistible. We always go during off hours and have had excellent service. read more

Ice cream is good, However the Service is a bunch of Monkeys. 3 people in line they have 4 walk up windows and 10 people inside walking around. Took 45 min to get service. Only one person working the window and can only do one thing at a time. They should all have there mommies in there to do tell them to do there job. If you show up 15min before closing forget it. No one is paying any attention to the drive they or the walk up window. Then after knocking on the glass they tell you there closed even though it's not 10pm yet. ROMPER ROOM. To bad it could be so much better and more profitable if it was managed properly. No supervision what's so ever. 10-31-19. Service is still slooow. One person in line not raining. By the time.theybgot to me 25min later. It was raining hard. One person and still 25min to get service. read more

Great original flavors, friendly staff. Convenient and consistent. Plenty of parking and outdoor seating

The ice cream here is incredible. They have very unique flavors and the portions are huge. The price is very reasonable and the ice cream is fresh. Is extremely creamy and flavorful. I absolutely love the pistachio read more

While Bruster's maybe busy during the summer, the line moves very quickly. I've came to notice if you include a tip in your purchase it appears you may get a little more ice cream on your cone. read more

We've been coming to Bruster's for years and years. I'm kind of surprised I haven't left a review yet, but I'm glad I didn't because I want to leave one about our experience tonight. They were running the PJ = Free Cone promotion. We went pretty late in the day, around 9:30. It was busy. I'm assuming it had been a long busy day. But every single employee we encountered was friendly and full of energy. They were getting through the line at super speeds and all with a smile on their faces. I would have left the same rating and a good review had I remembered to review them before tonight's visit. But I really think it says something about the employees when they are still doing an amazing job even after such a long, busy day. Oh and the peanut butter cup sundae is the best, just for the record! read more

Just had the rudest encounter at the drive through window this evening. Girl at the drive through window tried to force my wife in giving her a tip. Then after we refused to leave her a tip she gave us the smallest scoops of ice cream in human history. Guess good help is hard to find these days. Won't be going back. read more

Ice cream is always amazing. Service is hit and miss. They have young kids that work here that act as if you are bothering them by ordering.

I really only like gram central station ( it is amazing), but butter pecan is also good. I feel the portions are kind of small for the price and compare to other places. My husband loves the blast & the peanut butter sauce they use. So when we see a bruster's we stop for my husband. If they have a flavor I like then I may get something as well. Ice cream texture is normally really creamy. read more

Someone needs to train the employees to know the difference between sherbet and italian ice. Way too expensive getting the wrong item, even after explaining 3 times i wanted italian ice, not sherbet. I'm vegan and don't eat dairy by choice but if i had a dairy allergy it could be a real problem read more

One word. LAZY High schoolers. I came through the drive through at 9:39 and i ordered a chocolate milkshake for my daughter and they said we stop doing shakes at 930 because we've already cleaned the machine . So because they're so worried about getting out at a decent time they stop doing shakes, and two other menu items that aren't available . I ordered a hot fudge sundae and the brownie was cold so I asked for a refund . This place is comical! Please hire more than lazy ass kids read more

Excellent ice cream but all of their locations are ridiculously slow. Well their Gaithersburg location and the south Frederick location are poorly staffed. read more

DO NOT GO HERE. Came here a couple of times and enjoyed it when getting just a scoop of ice cream. HOWEVER, when I came back and got a milkshake, it tasted like they had used slightly rotten milk. The flavor was off. I did not want to judge their milkshake based on this one time so I came back and got another in a different flavor and the same underlying rotten milk taste was there. Not sure why. Maybe their fridge is broken or not cold enough. After both milkshakes, I had an extremely upset stomach. Very upsetting. Very unprofessional to serve your paying customers rotten milk. They are also expensive, I basically paid to get food poisoning. read more

I used to go there regularly now with the new ownership I will not go again . Prices very expensive service is slow and poor . Evidently the ownership doesn't care . My recommendation is to go to Ripley's which has much better ice cream and twice as good as service . read more

I checked the reviews before coming here and there were a lot of complaints about the service. In my experience it was great. Fast, efficient and orders were right. I want during a busy Saturday evening. Ice cream here is always good. read more

Come here and wait 15+ minutes in line while it's chilly outside. Flavor 1 they are out of, flavor 2 they're out of, and flavor 3 they're out of. I can see having one flavor still listed that they're out of, but 3? What a waste of my time. read more

Good ice cream and great customer service. Will be back. Their waffle cones were great. We tried the cotton candy ice cream and white chocolate reeses cup ice cream along with the cheesecake and vanilla. All were delicious. read more

The ice cream is good, it does take awhile to get your order though. It's fun to take the kids here though and get a Dino sundae or a dirt sundae. read more

Tell your employees to stop touching their hats, microphones, computers, and faces while using gloves and not changing them out, and then touching the cones. Watched them through the drive through. Gross. read more

I don't know if they have new staff members, service have not been the same. The last couple of time that I went there, the ice cream was not good. I asked for extra brownie, they added brownie bites. Didn't like that. Just not the same anymore. ! read more

The location, the parking, and the service leaves a lot to be desired. Kids swinging on the drive in metal guard...someone will fall someday and get ran over. Recently advertised free ice cream if you show up in PJs. This is ok if you are under 10. Crocks, PJs, and the Maryland flag! Have some class Frederick! read more

There were like 38 lists of flavors in various windows of this cute little joint, tucked into a totally forgettable shopping plaza. Finally, the short list by the actual open window was close to true but no! Three of the flavors were 86'd. And yet despite the meager selection, the end result was a genuinely creamy and rich cup full of salted caramel love. read more

Graet Ice Cream! Awesome flavors! Sea Salt Carmel is the best! Great customer service! Really small wait time ... It is worth the wait ... Portions are off the charts! Go hungry! We did see s drive thru but choose to walk up ... Plenty of outside seating! read more

Love the ice cream and the great flavors I like that you can get ordinary old flavors like banana, peach, or Black Raspberry. I did NOT care for the service there is no awnings and you have to stand in the beating sun and when I was there the first couple times the line was non existent However the last two times I walked away after standing for 30 minutes in 95 degree weather in beating sun while ONE woman had a huge order and only two guys working and the one was doing Nothing while the other guy done it all I waited a while and said heck with that and left without that has happened twice I will likely not return anytime soon read more

The customer service at this location is at a new low! They handed us a cup of ice cream and there was a hair in it. We told the guy and he said i quote "oh just pull it off its fine". Really?! Its fine??? $15 for ice cream and you tell me having hair in it its fine? The ice cream is good, when they serve it without hair. You better fire that little careless guy that represents your company. read more

The Hocus Pocus seasonal flavor is amazing. We love visiting the Frederick Bruster's!

I don't appreciate being lied to! I specifically ordered a chocolate milkshake made with chocolate ice cream. When I received the milkshake I confirmed my request & was assured that all chocolate milkshakes are made with chocolate ice cream. The guy lied! The milkshake tasted like vanilla which I strongly dislike & is the reason for going there to pay the higher price instead of just going to McDonald's. I got home and dumped the shake & sure enough the bottom of the cup was solid vanilla. Disappointed. I called Brusters to let them know I was upset with the experience & all I got was a "we'll make sure it doesn't happen again." I would have thought I'd have been offered a replacement or something but that was not offered. So now I'm out $6 and I don't have a drinkable milkshake. Tsk-tsk Brusters on Crestwood Blvd. Frederick!! read more

Extremely good ice cream. My favorite is the black cherry, but I haven't tasted a bad flavor yet.
