    We were staying nearby at a hotel and popped in one night . The two young girls working were super friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed the turtle ice cream in a cone but the paper stuck to the cone and I couldn't get it off. (Pet peeve!!) My boyfriend enjoyed his Butter Pecan ice cream. Good so for yummy ice cream.

    My wife and i pass this place every day. It was sort of a rotten day so we stopped in for ice cream. I ended up getting a hot fudge brownie and she got a banana split. The prices were fairly high for ice cream. The portion was decent though. I was however disappointed in the presentation and amount of fudge. I didn't see the fudge at all until i started eating into the brownie. It looked like whip cream vanilla ice cream and brownie at first. When i finally reached the hot fudge it was realistically just a few bites and for what i paid i felt ripped off. My wife's banana split looked real good though and she really enjoyed it. I found it interesting they sell these half off on Thursdays if you bring your own banana. We also weren't able to use the restroom (said they didn't have public restrooms). This was frustrating since we're getting food and drinks. You may want to keep that last one in mind.

    Favorite ice cream shop in town! They have the best hot fudge sundae. I love the cookie dough and the Oreo ice cream. Most places do not add in much cookie dough, and this place fills the ice cream with it! The Oreo ice cream is so creamy with lots of crushed Oreos. Excellent customer service. Brianne is usually there when we go and she's also super friendly and helpful! Download the Bruster's App and take advantage of the rewards program-- you get $3 off your first order with the app too.

    Probably my favorite place in Tally to get ice cream! Whether my wife and I want scoops, Blizzard-like treats, or sundaes, we normally find ourselves coming to Bruster's! Their ice cream is delicious. I would suggest trying the Oreo or Mint Chip flavors. Bruster's packs a ton of add-ins (Oreos, chocolate chips, etc) into their ice cream and it makes it even better! I also suggest the Blizzard-like treat called Blasts. The Brownie Fudge sundae is the star of the show though. The brownie is hot, soft, and delicious! They also pack a ton of ice cream (your choice), hot fudge, and whipped cream on top. So good! Warning: the sundae is huge! Bring a big appetite or someone to share If you want something sweet, Bruster's is always my suggestion. They have a wide variety of ice cream treats and they are all delicious!

    I see all of these great reviews so maybe it's me. Maybe I have the weird taste buds. Ice cream is my all time favorite dessert! Like I could eat it when it s 20 degrees outside....but I could easily bypass Bruster's and get some from the grocery store. I'm not certain what it is that's never "wow'd me." The best way I can describe my feelings is that nothing stands out from it. It is "good"....well "yes", but store bought ice cream is "good"....or even "great." If I'm going to pay $4-$7 for ice cream at an ice cream shop, I except to have some really good, like I gotta have it ice cream. Bruster's, to me, is along the lines of Baskin-Robbins or Marble Slab. I love ice cream to be creamy and bursting with flavor. I also appreciate a creative menu and I just didn't get that with Brusters's. They even charged me $1 extra for a waffle bowl. Let me name a few places that: (Store bought) Blue Bell, Talenti, Halo top, So Delicious Cashew Milk flavors.... (Ice cream shops) Coldstone, Rita's, Ye Old Fashion, Shake Shack, Pinkberry and Nuberri (yes I know its yogurt). To be honest, if some put a scoop of strawberry from Brusters and a scoop of strawberry from...lets say Edy's or Breyers, I probably wouldn't know the different...even though I would say all three are "good." On another note, the store was clean and the cashier was friendly. She was the only person working there and there was a line of about 7 customers but she worked as quickly as she could and apologized for the wait. There is limited seating; but both indoor and outdoor available and there is no drive-thru.

    After a long movie, I was craving ice cream. I quickly looked to see which parlor was closest to me and chose Bruster's. I was very pleased with the quality of ice cream they serve in this particular Brusters. It was creamy and buttery. I got cookie dough and tried the double chocolate chunky flavor. Soooo good! I have finally found my favorite ice cream parlor in Tally. I usually felt like I had to go to the store and get Ben&Jerry's but that started feeling super sugary. This ice cream felt like old fashioned creamy milky ice cream.

    We were kind of skeptical after reviewing some of the reviews but it's been a hot, muggy day here and decided to give it a try anyway. Not shown was my husbands four scoop butter pecan waffle cone because he had most of it gone before we took photos and said it was great - my grandson had the hot fudge sundae which was larger than we expected for the price and I had mistakenly ordered birthday cake instead of cake batter but it was really good! For $16 bucks total we think the price was pretty good compared to what we pay in Lake City at our ice cream chain. (NNM) will definitely be back!

    Ice cream is good but the employee handling the ice cream wasn't wearing a mask so that was a little unsettling lol.

I liked the opportunity to try these sodas on tap and not commit to one. That's a really fun idea. Pancakes were fluffy and delicious. The bacon was good and I love strawberry pancakes so I'm a big fan when that's on the menu.

The burger reminded me of Wendy's, although I think the ingredients I added on weren't as fresh. I got a lot of crinkle fries and they were cooked to perfection. The cement mixer was amazing. You can choose multiple flavors, but the butterfinger/andes combo actually tasted great! I wish they would've prepped my burger a little better (that's the main reason for the star bump). I would absolutely pick this place over any Dairy Queen, McDonalds, Burger King, Five Guys, etc. Worth getting if you're hangry!

It came with a roll, slaw, Crinkle Cut fries and, in her case, 2 filets. The roll was a bit dry and inedible unless you hadn't had any bread for a long time. The fries, although were crinkle cut out of a bag no doubt, actually tasted pretty good. The fish was pretty good too tho, imo, too lightly salted. The Cole slaw was surprisingly pretty good flavor wise tho a little saturated with whatever type dressing they use. I ordered a PUB burger which was a double meat with cheese burger, aforementioned crinkle cut fries. The bun was also a bit dry, intolerable in the world of sandwiches on bread. I had to moisten it substantially with a load of ketchup so I could eat it. I considered dumping the bun, just eating the meat. The workers there were pretty good on the ability to deliver customer service. They actually know how to smile, unlike some of the dull eyed, people who resent their own existence and having to WORK like those at other fast food places. If I go back to Culvers, it would be strictly for the fish, hold the dry roll. As for a hamburger, I think I'll just head on over to Whataburger for that.

It would make any child's day to head here for ice cream and candy. (There is an entire wall full of various candies that can be selected and weighed. I noticed it was $10.95/lb. There are also a few tables where you can sit down and eat and a TV playing kid appropriate shows, but no sound. In my overall opinion, this place is extremely overpriced but cute. It will probably generate good revenue because of the location, but there are much better ice cream shops in town.
