How have I not reviewed this place?…read more I want to say my first visit here was in 2016. At the time I lived in Columbus and was in the Ironton/Portsmouth area to see family and had randomly found this spot when they were located downtown. Over the years I had visited and found some awesome horror items, comics, and vintage toys. It's been a few years since I've been in as I now live 4.5 hours away compared to 2.5, but was in the area on Wednesday. I had stopped in and browsed but finally tried the ice cream. I had a Wookies n Cream shake and my wife had a BB Cake cone. The punny names work well with the shop and the flavors were good. The only strike was the straw for the shake was an Icee straw vs a regular one. Staff was friendly and prices were very fair from toys & comics. Definitely a place I try to visit when I'm in the area.

It's frustrating to walk in and see employees like Carly on their phones instead of assisting customers. The contrast in work ethic is very noticeable.

When the mill opened it was wonderful. The place could improve if the management actually held the staff to a higher standard, but as it's about to be closing I genuinely doubt it. When you ask why did the mill close? Come reference this. -inconsistency. -unhelpful, rude staff that act like I broke into their house and am asking them to serve me food from their own fridge. -food ranges from terrible to okay. -you will wait an hour on average for the simplest food. It's always sad to see a locallly owned restaurant shut down. Unfortunately something being "local" doesn't justify inferior food and service. Wish things could be different!

The shelves were adorned with an extensive collection of books, while other charming items lined the walls. Their menu offered a diverse range of dishes, catering to various tastes. As an avid Eggs Benedict enthusiast, my choice was an easy one. My companion opted for the breakfast bowl with bacon, and both dishes were exceptionally tasty, with well-balanced seasoning. I couldn't help but notice a steak sizzling on a lava rock, promising a delectable culinary experience. However, the service was slightly slow due to the restaurant's popularity. Despite the crowd, our waitress was incredibly kind and even offered an apology for any inconvenience caused. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast or brunch when visiting the area.

While visiting my sister in Ironton I decided to take my niece for food & ice cream at The Shakery…read more When I come into town I always see a line of people and after having stopped in and ate I now know why. The Shakery is a cool "Mom & Pops" eater with a plethora of sweet treats. There is a place to stand and order outside, a drive thru, outside seating and indoor seating. You will see people of all ages. It's really nostalgic. The environment is nice & clean. Staff is friendly and I must say they did an excellent job for as busy as they were. There sweet treats vary from classic shakes to "blizzard-like" shakes, sundaes, specialty shakes, banana splits & slushies. I chose a peanut butter shake which was so creamy and full of peanut butter flavor. SO GOOD!!!!!! Perfect consistency for dipping my French fries in. Yea...I'm one of those lol. Scarlett chose a cherry slushie. You will get your sweet treats before your food. I ordered a hamburger and she got a kids grilled cheese and fries. The kids portion is a full size cheese sandwich btw. We enjoyed our time at the Shakery. The food is made to Order so don't expect drive-thru mentality. It's worth the wait I promise.

I love there milk shakes. The people are rude at times. But they are fast and the place is clean.read more

For the meal, they have a Latte menu with all sort of flavors available (hot or cold). I had the delicious breakfast wrap with gravy with banana nut bread.

This was a great experience. The owners served the food and made sure everyone felt welcomed and taken care of. Chefs kiss to everything about this cafe. They did NOT disappoint.

Flavor was great though Perfectly mid: the potato, the breadsticks, and the Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese is just kraft with extra shredded which to me is perfect. The potato needed maybe a full salt shaker of salt and extra sour cream, but everything else about it was absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked. The breadsticks were just good but nothing to write home about. Would come back for this: footlong chili cheese dog. The hotdog was genuinely really good. Perfect amount of juice and flavor, and paired with the chili and mustard was peak. However, I do not think I could finish it by myself and did split it with a friend. We also had to eat with a fork and a knife, but that was fine and honestly better. Water: tap.
