There were quite a few people in line and the parking lot was full. We found out you can order online, but we were in line already and just stuck it out. They have a very large menu and I kind of wish it was more consolidated and easier to read, but I guess you can't really go wrong with burgers and shakes from here. I ordered the fried mushrooms, a cheeseburger and a cherry shake. Everything was delicious. It's fast food, so I wasn't expecting much. The burger isn't like the best burger I ever had, but it's like $5 and decent. The cherry shake was perfection. And the mushrooms were salty, crisp and hot. Good food and cheap prices. There are a few tables outside but we took our food back home to eat.

It's a nice balance of sweet and fruity without being overpowering, and you can tell it's a flavor they take pride in. The shop itself has a relaxed, welcoming vibe and feels very much like a local favorite. It's a good place to cool off, take a break from walking around downtown, and try a classic Montana treat.

It's like they take 10% off the top on a regular basis and it's false advertisement. One pic is how Dairy Queen advertises their blizzards. The other pic is what I received. The guy put a flat top on it which I took off and said to him I just wanted to see if you filled it or not, and then said, "it looks like or not". He said that it looked pretty full to him. The problem is this happens all the time and it's frustrating. It seven bucks to pop. The size of my medium blizzard was almost exactly the size of my wife's small blizzard. Ugh.

It's a bit bizarre when you walk in because almost every table was occupied by people eating to-go ramen, so...maybe there is some connection with another nearby restaurant. Regardless, we pressed on and ordered our ice cream from the friendly ladies behind the counter. Everything was very good! Apparently, this is some kind of off-shoot of Genuine Ice Cream in Bozeman. We enjoyed the huckleberry (when in Rome), and there was a banana peanut butter cup that was pretty interesting as well. Our daughter was boring with her vanilla and chocolate, but both flavors were quite rich. Consistency was good, and the price was decent, but portions could have been a bit more generous. Nothing mind-blowing happening here, but a cute shop in the "town center" complex that's putting out some good stuff. If you're staying at The Wilson, this place is too convenient not to go to. Four stars.

A Hidden Gem in Philipsburg!…read more After a full day of sapphire hunting with the family, we were ready for something sweet--and Philipsburg Creamery absolutely delivered! This place is an essential stop if you're anywhere near town. I had the Cookies and Cream and the Caramel Sea Salt, and WOW. Both were insanely good--the perfect balance of creamy, rich, and flavorful. You can tell it's homemade with love, not the generic stuff. The Caramel Sea Salt had that perfect sweet-and-salty combo, and the Cookies and Cream was packed with real cookie chunks. The shop itself has this cozy old western style that fits the vibe of historic Philipsburg perfectly. Super charming and full of character. The staff were all incredibly friendly and welcoming--made the whole experience even better. Whether you're exploring, sapphire hunting, or just passing through, don't leave town without stopping here. It's homemade ice cream heaven.
