There ice cream is sooooooo goood the I cream got is deep deep apple pie it sooo goood

3 words: The Turtle Sundae. Probably one of the best sundaes I have had in a long time. Plenty of pecans, creamy fresh ice cream - rich hot fudge, thick gooey caramel and light and fluffy whipped cream. Costing them the star to make it a full five stars is the lack of an eat in area. They are strictly drive thru or walk up counter. It was however, super easy to order online and swing through the drive through to pick up. Fast friendly service. Simply perfection! I ate it so fast I did not take photos. I'm excited to try out our local Bruster's to see if they are just as good. read more

The wait time is one thing and the ice cream is another. I love that they have blow up decorations for upcoming holidays and how they have a little playground for kids around 5 years old. Ice cream is not the best. I love this place but just not the best. Timing isn't ether. Service is okay and nice. They do have a drive thru for being quick but that is still backed up. read more

Love this place. Always stop on the way back from the Jersey Shore to Washington DC. Family-managed with teens working in the summer! Lawn games and a small playground. The "small" blast (concrete) is 16oz and HUGE! The shakes are solid as well. Best ice cream in Middletown, hands down read more

Quite pricey but tasty ice cream. Workers are pretty nice. There's also a small sitting area. Can't really go wrong.

While visiting family who lives in Delaware they recommended Bruster's. It's a nice small shop with a drive through, and you can also order at the window. I ordered the regular size cup, which the cashier let us know that we could even do two different types of ice cream, so I ordered sea salt caramel with New York cheesecake. It was yummy! It wasn't my favorite sea salt caramel ice cream I've ever had, but don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking it! Everyone else enjoyed their ice cream as well. My mom placed the order and confused the cashier a bit as we meant to order 4 cups but received 3. The cashier was understanding and polite and had no problem fulfilling the rest of the order. Would happily return on another visit to Delaware. read more

The chocolate raspberry ice cream was tart and sweet just like a raspberry would be in real life. I got a milkshake and it was totally fine, but I'm kicking myself for not getting a cone. These are definitely rich treats, so I also 1000% didn't need to order a large and could have shared a smaller size with my husband. At least a million times better than stopping at DQ. read more

Amazing ice cream! I luvvvvvvv brusters ! I will say their milkshakes are terrible! Literally taste like milk! I try to steer clear from them to avoid problems but the Oreo ice cream is my favorite read more

Every single time I have been to this location, it's been a TREAT. Pun intended. The staff are friendly and genuine and lovely, my order hasn't ever once been messed up and the ice cream is constantly perfect and delicious! I love the doggie dishes, as does my furry one. I just can't say enough good things about the Middletown location. Best experience. read more

Great place to satisfy your sweet cravings! Staff was very helpful and friendly. She did a fantastic job personalizing the ice cream cake for my wife's bday! The ice cream cake was well done and tasted fresher than what you would find in a grocery store. It had a yellow cake topped with chocolate ice cream. Also, for $30 it was a deal. Much better than what you would find in Carvel, and it was not overly sweet. Drop by and visit this location for a great treat! read more

Wow, what seriously great ice cream! As "old-fashioned" as it gets. So creamy and rich, I can only surmise that the "old-fashioned folks" were just down right decadent. Because this ice cream certainly is! Next time I go back I'll be ordering a chocolate, banana, marshmallow, malt shake. Yup, though heard that right, all things that I live in a shake! And aside from a place in Yakima WA and a few family run DQs you won't find many folks like Brusters who are milk shake baristas! You need to indulge yourself and try this place out! read more

Best ice cream around. Haven't had better ever!!! So good! I will drive all the way to Middletown for my ice cream fix now that I have discovered this hidden treasure! read more

We got ice cream for ourselves and dogs! This ice cream was so creamy and delish! We went during Christmas in July so it was really fun to see lol their Christmas decorations and flavors. My husband got a banana split and it was huge, and tasty of course. read more

The staff was amazing! My daughter and I stopped on our way from North Carolina to Pennsylvania. We ordered and went to pay realized my card was in my car and then quickly realized I was locked out of my car. The two young ladies that were working we super polite and even brought us water. So grateful because it was HOT out. Amazing service and people! read more

For a dessert, I stopped by here for some ice cream after dinner. This facility is a walk up to order and a drive thru with no indoor seating. They do have a nice outdoor courtyard to sit in with some kid toys and table games. My ice cream was very good and at a reasonable price. I like this place and would be happy to return. read more

I always get great service there and one of the few places I can go and get food sugar free ice cream

Tried the Sunday, chocolate ice cream and blueberry cobbler! They're all delicious but if I had to recommend you try something it has to be the blueberry cobbler! It is amazing. Great service and friendly staff. read more

This place has the best ever ice cream. My favorite is butter pecan. It's filled with large pecan pieces that are still crunchy slightly salted. There is a very distinct taste of butter. The base is creamy and dense with a pleasing dairy texture as one would expect from a product called ice cream. If you choose it, the waffle cone is crunchy and not too sweet. The serving is large. The serving is somewhat pricey but they have all sorts of discounts and coupons if you use their app. Bruster's is well worth a visit. read more

Including: Kohr Brothers, Rita's, Friendly's, Cold Stone, and Dairy Queen...Bruster's is the best ice cream in Delaware! Milkshakes are on point! read more

Came here a few weeks ago because my brother had an intense craving for ice cream and DQ was closed. Having been here in the past I expected the same delicious ice cream I'd always had. WRONG My brother was happy with his cone, but not being really in the mood for ice cream, and knowing that their 'small' is massive, I asked if there was anything smaller than their small. The girl taking our order looked at me like I was stupid, then rolled her eyes and said they had a baby size. Which I proceeded to order, BAD DECISION! What I got was was a disgusting stale cone, I'm talking like as stale as stale can be. It tasted like cardboard, and there was no ice cream INSIDE the cone, just maybe a ping-pong ball sized scoop on top. Normally here I have a great experience, but I had to throw this cone out, and it will be a while before I go back. read more

6 of us enjoyed the ice cream very much. We were served quickly and they have many flavors and different cups to choose. They accepted credit card which is a big plus. Many ice cream parlors only accept cash. read more

The ice cream is fabulous. The coconut chip and peanut butter chocolate buckeye are creamy and full of flavor. The butter pecan and mint chocolate chip looked delish. We will be back! read more

I tried so hard to find Peach Melba, it's either sold out, or they don't have it. Finally today I get it in Middletown, DE!! No regrets :)

Soooo slow. They r so busy talking and having a party they take forever to get a cone and a blast. Omg painful. Rainy night with no one else there read more

Had a great experience at this local Brusters in Middletown. It was extremely creamy and not overly sweet (I had coconut chip). My 18 month old daughter received a free baby cone of vanilla and devoured it. My husband had the mint chocolate chip and was also really happy. This is definitely the real deal!! Highly recommend Brusters! read more

Very good ice cream, was disappointed in not having pistachio but my alternative was very rich. I enjoyed my cone in every bite, the cost is over priced but I guess it is worth it due to its excellent taste. read more

Been here twice in the last couple of weeks. Both times ice cream was lacking in the additives. Ordered toffee bar both times and each time had no toffee. First time figured it was just how it was scooped. Second time, not so sure. Will reconsider coming here again. Has changed over the past couple of years. Have plenty of other options to choose from. read more

Graham Central Station is the best flavor every! I also like Birthday Cake and Apple Pie flavors. I absolutely love this place especially the Middletown location. It has a beautiful outdoors seating area. One time I called just as they were making my favorite flavor and when I arrived they knew who I was, I got to speak directly to the owner who was extremely nice. I would buy it by the quarts because I had to have some accessible from my freezer. read more

I really try to order another flavor, I'm certain I will branch out and do it, but I get up to the window and out of my mouth without hesitation, "mint chocolate chip on a cake cone please"! It's just that good. The mint does not taste artificial. The chocolate is pieces of wafer not little hints. If you eat it in the winter time, when you are cold, you'll actually have a butter slick on the roof of your mouth. I know that sounds really gross, but that's how REAL this ice cream is, and boasts to be! They live up to their claim. If you have little ones, cones are free :) read more
