Scoopy Doos is a fantastic family-owned ice cream shop in a nice, cozy town! The workers here are…read morevery nice and helpful with any questions you may have and the prices here are very good for how much you get! They have a great variety of flavors to choose from and they will load up your bowl or cone with a ton of ice cream. If you get to the bottom of a bin, they will try to empty it out and give you as much as they can so they can open up a new tub of ice cream! My favorite flavors include java chip, cookie dough, & bourbon pecan. They also serve dole whip soft serve and sundaes as well! If you are in town, this shop is a must try during a hot day but they are only open seasonally so keep an eye out on their social media for updated hours!

The place's ambiance is great. The employers service is awesome. And the Ice Cream is AMAZING.read more

She did a great job however, and everything came out piping, hot, and tasty. The lunch special includes your choice of soup, you can get an egg roll or a crab Rangoon as well as fried rice with your main entrée we both ended up with the Kung Pao chicken because we love that and it was very tasty, full of crunchy veggies. The sauce was flavorful and I would definitely order it again. We each had an iced tea and the total bill was $27 before tip We like to comfortable seating and the ambience of the restaurant. They do have two different dining rooms so it's bigger than it looks

I was disappointed in our visit today. I called weeks ago to ask if we could make a reservation for…read morea party of 10. I was assured that it wouldn't be a problem. We called the day before to confirm numbers. When we showed up today, they had us seated at 3 different tables. It was never mentioned we couldn't sit together (even though they had longer tables available.) Someone in my party ordered a beer. They said they didn't serve alcohol, even though the front of the menu proudly stated they had alcohol available. I ordered my sandwich. The waitress asked what side I wanted with it. I told her the menu clearly stated sandwiches were à la carte and didn't come with sides. She pointed to her electronic pad and said it was asking what side I wanted so it must come with it, so I ordered a side. Guess what? I was charged for my side. I didn't want to make waves so I just paid for it, but three strikes and you're out. Food was okay, fries were pretty salty, but the aforementioned items made it an overall disappointing visit.

This is my second visit to Mineral City Mill and Grill, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first…read morevisit! As someone who can have trouble deciding what to order, I really appreciate how helpful the staff is with recommendations. This time, I went with the Caesar salad topped with salmon-one of the waitress's personal favorites. She even included two slices of lemons, which she said she likes to squeeze over the top. I understood why-it added the perfect touch. The portion size was just right, and it came with a warm breadstick. I left feeling satisfied but not stuffed. The restaurant, including the bathrooms, was spotless, and the parking lot was clean with plenty of available spaces. I really liked the frosted partition that provided privacy. Overall, another great experience at Mineral City Mill and Grill!

We needed to make it quick so our server was great in taking our drink and food orders right away. I split a hot Italian sandwich with fries. It was very good and splitting was a perfect amount of food for lunch. The sandwich had a nice Italian dressing to keep it from getting dry. The fries were the bomb. Skinny, crispy fries are a fav of mine. Our other party had a burger and added an extra patty. It was huge, juicy, cooked perfectly and well liked. Nothing was left on our plates when we were done. The vibe is family friendly with lots of booths and tables for small or large parties. Great stop.
