Skip the expensive ice cream places and head HERE! The soft serve was amazing and the ice cream was so flavorful! Prices are great and the staff are super outgoing and friendly! But there isn't any indoor seating so remember that on a hot day. Other than that this is one of me and my kids favorite ice cream place's we've ever been to! read more

Pretty decent summertime staple. They have a good amount of parking and a nice location in black mountain. Their seating is atrocious. It's basically some tables with no umbrellas or shade in the middle of the parking lot. We were sweltering. Probably why many people took theirs to go or huddled under the roofing. Next time I'd sit in the grass or random chairs out back. The ice cream itself was decent. Fresh and a nice variety of flavors. I was asking about flavors and they could not remember some so they finally let me try them. Weird. I ended up with turtle something and moose tracks. Pretty small for an ice cream place but a good size for a small. The dipped soft serve was massive. So much so that I had to ask for a cup because it was a mess. About the same price as you'd pay for the homemade unique stuff and they don't take the go local card. This place is nice and a good neighborhood spot but I'll opt for one of my local favs next time. read more

Banana pudding shake was very good ($5 large), and my wife liked her banana shake. Both had real ingredients in the shake. No flavoring.

The best tasting and served cookie dough Arctic Swirl! They blend to perfection. #Verydemureofthem read more

We walked a half-a-mile in 48° weather and got there at 9:20 PM on a Saturday night in October, the busiest time of year in this part of the country and they were closed!!!!!!! This was in spite of the fact that Yelp says it's open until 11 PM and Google says it's open until 10pm. Get your times fixed on these sites!!!!!!! I could not be more frustrated right now. read more

Quintessential summertime ice cream experience! Arctic Freeze is our go-to order. You can get vanilla, chocolate, or a swirl of both, soft serve flavors. Made with fresh ingredients in so many options. My favorite is the Heath Bar in my Arctic Freeze. Size medium is plenty big enough for two adults to share. Perfect spot for at dusk and after dark visit. Order the blue raspberry dipped cone, for the signature "blue cone" experience. The sundaes are HUGE. The floats are generously sized too. A must visit while in Black Mountain. read more

A favorite spot to drop in when we drive through Black Mountain.Hope to hear it survived Helene.

How can you go wrong with ice cream! I love it. This is soft serve ice cream that you can get dipped in so many different flavors. They also have many other ice cream creations and snow cones. We had a vanilla cone dipped in cherry, a hot fudge sundae and a hot fudge cake sundae. It was all good. I may have eaten too much but I won't admit that when it comes to ice cream. My only comment is that there is one person doing everything. Since everything you order requires preparation that is a lot for one people and can be overwhelming. As a customer I don't feel like I can ask questions because she is so busy and other people are all waiting on her. She did a great job, but I have more things I would like to try when I have more time to ask questions about what I am ordering. read more

If you like an old fashioned dairy stand built in like 1950, with soft serve, you will love it! The only caveat is- you never know when they will be open. Literally, there's a sign on the building that says that pretty much. Still try to go every time we're in BMT! read more

Fantastic soft serve. Many other excellent flavors of ice cream. They have odd hours - part of the charm. Call ahead if you are not sure if they are open. Or take a nice drive to check it out. Downtown Black Mountain is right there too. read more

Don't let looks fool you. Took our granddaughters here for ice cream. Everyone love what they got. We sat outside on picnic tables in the shade. A perfect area since we had two dogs with us. They love their treat. read more

My wife and I had artic freezes. They were very good. I got peanut butter and receeses and got just receses and her probably had three receece cups in it. Service was great. Price is right. read more

Best ice cream in Black Mountain! I got a vanilla dipped chocolate cone and everyone else got vanilla ice cream with sprinkles. It was the best soft serve ice cream ever! They only accept cash, but there is an ATM so don't panic. The seating area inside gets pretty roasting in the summer so eat your ice cream quickly. It's a bit pricey but definitely worth it. My family and I will definitely be back! read more

Fine place. Ice cream is really good (and the portions are very generous), staffed by nice people. Classic venue from another era. read more

A locals favorite! One of a kind place. Cash only. Soft-serve and scooped ice cream, dips, lemonade, and more fun food. Yummy delish!!! read more

First time in the area and had to try the local ice cream joint. Great service. Good selection. I had the rainbow sherbet- one of the best I have had. Others got the dipped cones. Ample seating areas and parking. read more

The soft serve is creamy and decadent. Far superior to fast food franchise restaurants. The menu is poorly displayed and photos would certainly help with making choices, but once you decide it's all yummy! read more

tried to go to the dairy king on Saturday night On google it said it was open until 10pm. we got there at 8 and it was closed even though on google it said it was open for another two hours. Today is Wednesday and I have tried to call three times, no one has answered. please fix the time online so you don't mislead your customers. read more

One of the best places for old school soft serve or scoops. Nice selection and high quality. Southern charm, great place to take pictures, lovely service; Even have treats for dogs. Both my kids and parents love the place. read more

I ordered something very simple and something that they claim to be "their thing" but they ended up messing up my order. When I told them, they said "sorry" and closed the window. And on top of all that, the cup had a hole in the bottom of it, which they also did not care about. Very dissatisfied with the service. read more

When you're hurtin for some ice cream, hit up the Dairy King. Good, but not great.

We have all been to dairy corner ice cream places throughout the country, this place is like one of those except......very overpriced!!! You are looking at almost $4 for a large soft serve cone and it is about the same size as what others places call a small or medium. I get it they are the only gig in town so they call the shots. I will gladly drive by this place and wave and not spend a dime there again. Lesson learned. Oddly they had like 3 people working there when I stopped and I was the only customer. Just a thought have 1 person working and lower your costs? Also just make the price a round even number and not some odd $3.83 or whatever it was with tax so patrons don't have to handle some dirty coins before they grab their cone. Factor in the tax and have the price set so it includes the sales tax, like how every other ice cream stand does it. read more

Best ice cream you'll ever have. This place is better during the summer time as there is a limited amount of seating indoors, but there is a ton of space outside to eat. They have more flavors than you can even imagine, and tons of combinations, plus milkshakes. If you want an ice cream place that feels like summer and captures the essence of Black Mountain, come here read more

Best ice cream place ever. Good vibes. Simple food. A must do for a trip to black mtn

If i could give this place a negative star rating I would. The menu is poorly displayed and the place looks like it has never had a good cleaning. Cash only, no atm near by. If ordering over priced ice cream through a small dirty window to a man with a mouthful of disgusting tobacco dip is your idea of a sweet treat then this is the place to go. I ordered strawberry ice cream in a cup, the taste was fine but at the bottom of my cup was a small black hair. Absolutely disgusting. Makes me wonder what was in the other bites I had!!! I would never recommend this place. Save your cash. read more
