Came to window and had to knock for someone to come wait on us. We just got a scoop of toffee Ice Cream and a scoop of lemon sherbet. Husband said the toffee was good, my sherbet was totally lacking a good lemon flavor, it needed more. read more

Ww love the ice cream here! Always a lot of delicious flavors! You need to try it soon!

Delicious.. the choices are very good and the service is friendly! Just the right amount of scoops too. A yummy reward treat.

Went to brusters the night of Nov 22. ordered a brownie sundae. first of all i had to repeat my order 5 times only for them to get it wrong. brownie was hard as a rock. i asked for no whipped cream or cherry and they still put it on there. was a regular but now i wont be going back read more

Good ice cream; ample portions; not the friendliest staff but otherwise their product is really good!

We decided to stop for a treat on our way back from the beach. The walk-up windows were closed, so we placed our order in drive-thru. We received fast, friendly service. Everything was made to order. My husband really enjoyed his chocolate malt... he said it's one of best he's had in recent memory. Not sure this is typical, but there were cars coming from a neighboring parking lot cutting into drive thru. It appears to slow down service for the cars already waiting in line. read more

terrible service they mess up the orders in the drive thru literally every time.. ran my card for the wrong order.. smh

Really good ice cream. The girls were very nice. I would diffently go back. Their ice cream is really fresh

I thought this place was great! A good flavor selection, great waffle cones, and generous helping of rich tasty ice cream. I had Black Raspberry Chocolate Chunk and it was wonderful. Service was fast and efficient. Not much Ambiance. More typical of roadside ice cream shops in the past, but plenty of places to sit down in the shade. read more

I grew up in Wilmington but just went here for the first time a month ago, and I've come every week. Service is just your average high schoolers but the ice cream is genuinely so delicious! And you definitely get a bang for your buck! read more

Love that they have a crazy amount of flavors to choose from. The ice cream is lacking some creaminess to it but most of have pretty good flavor. The staff is friendly but seem to lack concentration because they mess up my order almost every time. So triple check when you orders. Good ice cream not great. read more

I appreciate the ladies working tonight, but what's the point of closing the walk up windows if you are going to let people walk up to the drive through window? Somebody needs to reevaluate the management at this store. Their decision making is flawed and it's costing the store money. read more

Really good ice cream! Good service a really nice treat on a sunny day! Was surprised at the number of options definitely a chocolate lovers delight! read more

Absolutely the worst. We ordered two blasts; my son got his in two minutes, mine took 15. No they were not busy and there was maybe five people total in the time we sat there. The kid at the counter acted shocked that I dared to ask him for my order. No manners. Save yourself the trouble and go to Dairy Queen. read more

Was hoping to get some quality Peach Ice Cream. But was sadly disappointed. The ice cream itself was creamy but the flavor was manufactured, would've preferred fresh peaches to extract. Yuck.. also I was the only person there at the time and it took a few before they even noticed I was there. Not good. $10 for a quarter of whatever it was wasn't worth it read more

We starting going to Bruster's a couple of years ago. Pumpkin cheesecake is one of our favorite flavors. Of course, just about any ice cream flavor is our favorite! Now we love Bruster's even more since we discovered our toddler can get a free baby cone! The prices seem a little higher, but I'm sure they are comparable to other ice cream shops around town. The biggest downfall is that several times we stop in, they are out of several flavors. read more

Delicious hard packed ice cream! Many flavors to choose your favorite and try new ones! Multiple specialty items! Just Go! enjoy!!

The ice cream place ever!!! The peanut butter sundae was insane!! Love this place! I highly recommend Bruster's!

Delicious ice cream. Love that they have dairy free ice cream as well. It's great! You won't be let down. Enjoy!

Yummy fresh homemade ice cream! The refreshing lemon sorbet tastes like the lemon ice from home! I LOVE how they are always adding new flavors...keeps things interesting. TOTALLY worth the wait in line! The only negative is that it can be tough reading the faded red/white drive-through menu during the day. I've watched/observed the Scoopers in their little fishbowl as I sit and eat my ice cream on the bench or as I wait in the drive through - these kids run their booties off!! PLEASE tip these kids!! I have a feeling a lot of people don't even think about it. read more

Love this place, the ice cream is amazing and inexpensive. I come here at least once a week with my son as a afternoon treat and he loves it. During the weekdays they have different specials for each day. Definitely my go to place for when I have a sweet tooth. The location is a bit busy but there is a nice little area where you can sit and enjoy the weather. read more

OMG... I must be batting a thousand today. Just had a great meal at the cape fear seafood. Then wanted ice cream... this place reminds me of the ice cream I used to get in the 70's. The real stuff. Got a hot fudge sundae that was maybe the best I've ever had. Ice cream, whipped cream, the hot fudge was ALL top notch. You must try this place . read more

Bruster's has amazing waffle cones! The location is easy to get to but quite loud (right off a busy street). The line can get long especially in the summer but nothing beats sitting outside with ice cream and the fam! read more

Love Brusters! Their ice cream is so good! So many flavors to choose from it's always hard for me to decide.

I have been here before, but this time I brought my new doggie with me so she could have an ice cream treat with me. The person who waited on us was obviously new, but she didn't care what she did or what I said. First thing I told her was to give me a doggie sundae and then I ordered a small sundae for myself. She gives me mine first with no whip cream or cherry looks at me and says "Have a nice day". I'm like where is the whip cream and cherry? And where is the doggie sundae? It took her forever to make 2 small sundaes, ring up the order and give me my punch card. Normally service is excellent, but today it wasn't so great. read more

I rarely leave reviews but I feel like I have to now. Took my 5 year old grandkid here. We both had waffle cones. Mine was vanilla and peach ice cream. Grandkid had peach and birthday cake. First - the waffle cones were so thin that one of them was cracked with ice cream seeping out. They had a pinkish hue to them and tasted synthetic. Not the delicious thick waffle cones you'd get at Kilwins. The vanilla ice cream had almost no flavor. The peach ice cream was pink with no peach flavor and no peaches in it. And the consistency of the ice cream was mushy almost like pudding. Tasted very synthetic. My 5 year old grandchild, who is an ice cream connoisseur said "this is dumpster ice cream". The reviews I had read were mostly positive with a few not so great ones but I thought we'd try the place. Makes me wonder if the place has new owners who have downgraded the quality. Do not waste your money!!! read more

Good ice cream with speedy service. It's drive thru or outside seating only. You get your moneys worth. Wish they had more flavors.

Bruster's has such good chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. My boyfriend and I love to visit their drive-through occasionally to pick up one of their sweet treats. It's not quite as rich as Cold Stone(which is my favorite ice cream place), but it's still very filling. I get their medium sized portion in a waffle cone and it's TO DIE FOR! A con of this place is that it's rather pricey for ice cream. Bruster's has a BOGO coupon in the Attraction's book that we always use, but if they didn't have this, I probably wouldn't go. Would definitely recommend and will also return in the future! read more

Best key lime pie ice cream ever!! My family just tried this place last weekend and now its a must have thing. We love it so much. Took my dog tonight and they gave him a pup sundae. A little scoop of vanilla with a dog bone on top. Such great service and the taste is amazing. New favorite spot!! I would give this place a 10 if i could! read more

Nice little ice cream place. We really came for chocolate chip ice cream but they were pretty much out of everything chocolate chip. So we went with the Oreo Mint Ice Cream on a waffle cone. I absolutely love waffle cones. The ice cream was great. I also got a scoop of strawberry ice cream but that was just okay. I'm used to Strawberry Ice Cream with bits of strawberry in it and this one did not have any. They have a nice little sitting area out side for you to enjoy a beautiful day while indulging in sweet treats. read more

This ice cream shop gives the smallest amount of ice cream for the size I have ever found! I call it a rip-off! Go somewhere else if you want value! read more

For some reason, there weren't a ton of ice cream locations near us. This place had late hours and the ice cream was yummy! There seemed to always be a line until closing, which is a good sign and the young girls working there were fast and efficient. read more

the ice cream is amazing, but the staff are slow, and not the most friendly. it should not take 35 minutes for a half blended milkshake when it's not even a rush. i am disappointed, and would not have wasted the gas on it if i would've known how long it would be. read more

Our favorite Ice Cream spot! You can't beat the prices! They give free ice cream to kids under a certain age and have daily specials! The ice cream is amazing. Try the chocolate raspberry truffle!! read more

Milkshakes are a huge disappointment! They are $4 and all flavored milk. Stick with the ice cream!

Love, love, love Bruster's. It's close to home, and you can go to their website, check off your favorite flavors and they will e-mail you when one of your favorites is made. My favorite flavor is New York cheesecake, and I think it must be a favorite of lots of people because a lot of times it's on the menu but they're sold out. So now I know when they have made it fresh and it's always been available since. read more

Good ice cream but it's expensive. Lots of different flavors to choose from and friendly service. Be prepared to wait a minute on the weekends. Look forward to the next time we go. read more

everytime i get ice cream from here my order is wrong. tonight i asked for chocolate oreo which is on the menu out front and my order was taken just fine. i paid and was handed chocolate chunk, i normally get nervous correcting my orders but i knew what i ordered and i asked for chocolate oreo. staff apologized and then handed me regular oreo... i drove off. not only was this the wrong ice cream but it had almost no cookies in it. just sweet cream ice cream. this isn't the only time my order had been wrong multiple times in one interaction at this location. i don't have this problem at other ice cream shops. read more

Excellent icecream, cute outside sitting area, and a convenient drive through if you're in a rush! read more
