They offer military discounts as well which is really nice especially for a military town. The icecream is our favorite still by far, we come least once a week in the summer and biweekly other months. We get excited to try their new flavors when they come in.

Dessert in Virginia Beach, Virginia…read more.. Since the thermometer read 95 degrees, my friend suggested that we go to Skinny Dip (soft serve ice cream). I was thinking that I'd rather not because I have lactose intolerance. She read my mind and said that Skinny Dip has dairy-free options... Yay! Okay! We entered the cool shop and she showed me the vegan and lactose-free flavors. In sample cups, she dispensed the three flavors that I could tolerate: Green Tea (lactose-free) Vegan Soy Heath Bar Watermelon non-dairy sorbet They were each good in their own way, so, I filled my cup with all three! Then, we headed over to the toppings bar. I got the strawberries, black berries, kiwi, mochi balls, and popping boba! Ooh! Fun! At the cash register, our cups were weighed. I checked in on Facebook for a discount! We dined in and enjoyed our creations! Our mouths were freezing cold and we were able to face the summer heat outside... because The Skinny Dip had cooled us down!

Even though there are so many froyo and ice cream spots in the city, this place will always be near and dear to my heart. A lot of memories were made here and I hope they never close, specifically this location. Many businesses have closed and opened up around it, but this place seems to still be going strong. Skinny Dip is always a nice place to cool down on a hot day or satisfy a craving on a cold day. I love their froyo and I love the endless choices of toppings. Love how they have dairy free options. It's just such a fun spot to be at with friends, date night, and dessert!

I had seen many great reviews but was under the misconception that it was a Gelato shop only. Not so, They have awesome ice cream, including dairy free options. The seasonal flavors have a wonderful consistency that I absolutely love. The dairy free choices, which I had tried at my earlier visit, had a normal ice cream consistency. At this trip to the Town Center shop I had a scoop of Lemon Custard & Peach. Both were awesome but I think my favorite is Lemon Custard, both from the seasonal list. Please don't take away the Lemon Custard in the fall in favor of pumpkin flavors. I love the Lemon Custard!!! Serving was excellent. I didn't need to do a taste test because I knew exactly what I wanted. I also signed up for the rewards program. Who can turn down the chance to get their awesome selections as a reward. The shop was set up similar but slightly different than the previous shop I had visited. The seating area was comfortable and spacious. In addition there was covered outside seating. The wall decorations fit the focus of the shop. The unisex bathroom had the same pink hall & door with the inside of the door painted blue. What an awesome way to decorate a unisex bathroom. The shop is in the TOWN CENTER Columbus Village Shopping Center. It's just around the corner front Barnes and Noble in the small amount of shops facing Virginia Beach Boulevard. You better believe I'll return. Thank you Victoria and Yelp for introducing me to this wonderful shop. I'm so glad there's one at Town Center.

My favorite flavor ever is the Cherry Vanilla that they normally have around February. Recently this summer I have been enjoying the Duo, the Coffee & Cream, and Mint Straciatella. The staff is always so sweet and helpful & the space is just a nice vibe. The best part is you can buy any flavor you like as a pint. I try to take advantage of that when my favorite flavors are available for a limited time.

The chocolate is so rich, but you still get all the Oreo flavor. My favorite thing that they have on the menu is any of the pastas this time tried the Louisiana chicken pasta. The chicken was perfectly fried and extra sauce was on the side. They usually have solid service but can get very busy at times. Everyone knows that the cheesecake factory ambience has the strange maximalist ambience but it all somehow works.

The meals are expensive, but you get a lot of food for that amount. Their warm bread and butter is great as well. You get couple of the traditional dark brown oat breads and a roll of sour dough and plenty of butter to go with them. My go to dish is the Chicken Picatta which comes with chicken breast in a tangy lemon sauce with capers and angel hair pasta This place is always busy, so expect to be waiting 15+ minutes for a table if you just show up. Service is generally great, but last night it was off.. the waitress brought us cold bread and no butter, when she dropped the bread off, she mentioned she forgot the butter but would bring it right away. 15 mins later she came by to ask for our order and I had to ask about the butter from 15 mins ago and requested new bread because the bread was cold.. it took over an hour from when we were seated to get food in front of us. That is way too long.. so after all was said and done, the waitress dropped off the bill and the minimum tip starts at 22% and goes up from there!! I ended up tipping around 12% because the service was very sub par to previous visits. Even tho we had a bad experience, I still highly recommend Cheesecake Factory for special events. They have a large selection, lots of varieties of cheesecakes for dessert, and you get large portions for the high prices they charge.

Toppings are always stocked, neatly organized, and well kept which I can really appreciate as someone with allergies, I don't ever have to worry about things being mixed! The atmosphere is very chill and relaxing, exactly what you would expect from a stereotypical sweet frog, but this location is especially well kept and friendly which is always appreciated :) I see families in here ALL THE TIME!!

Freddy's Frozen Custard and Smashburgers has been on my radar for a while, but I really felt wanted…read moreto try it once I saw the CEO burger wars on social media A doctor appointment in Chesapeake finally made it happen. I walked in love the vibes - the 1950s retro look - big lush booths. I ordered Freddy's original double combo with no mustard. The two steakburger patties with melty cheese, slices of red onion, and my favorite part of the burger - two long sandwich slides. As my side, I opted for the tater tots over the fries and it still included the signature fry seasoning. There are so many options to dip my tots in -- I grabbed my standard - ketchup, and I decided to try Freddy's signature fry sauces (the original, jalapeno, and smoky). Of the three fry sauces, my favorite was the smoky. I found myself dipping my tots for the smoky umami flavor. I finished the meal with the best cola ever - Pepsi!

I have given this one multiple chances and they just keep failing…read more First of all, I have NEVER gotten a completely correct order. The burgers are okay, but super bland no matter what's on them. The fries are some of the worst, most pathetic excuse for fries I've ever seen or had. They're like little grub worms. The custard is really good as are the ice cream sandwiches, but this location never seems to have the Oreo Sammies. Whether dining in, drive-thru, or pick-up orders, they always find a way to screw everything up. This location's been here for years and they still can't get their act together. It's also overpriced for what you get. The word "Value" has lost its meaning over the years and this place is an example of why and how. The cheese bites are pretty good, I have to admit. But they're not world-changing. The burgers have only as much flavor depending how much salt you put on them. Honestly, for any of their food to be flavorful, you'd need to put so much salt on it, that you'd be accused of preserving it for the winter. It's also too loud and RED in there. It's like if Target had a cousin in fast food.

And in some cases, folks would eat in their vehicle. That was the case when I went here for the 1st time. Fast forward to now, I happened to run into The SnoBall Shop when I picked up food from a food truck nearby. Let's see how everything went. After leaving a food truck right across the street, I headed here to order a snoball which I haven't had over a year. Just like the 1st time, you head to the front to place your order. Beforehand, I took a look at all the flavors available and chose white chocolate. I also chose marshmallow fluff for the topping. Overall, the snoball was good. The white chocolate flavor was present throughout and having the marshmallow fluff as a topping and in the middle helped with each serving. The snoball did melt due to the weather outside, but it was totally fine. Once again, the SnoBall Shop came through for yours truly. I'll definitely stop by the next time I'm in the area. Till next time :)

The Snoballs are gluten-free, peanut-free, cholesterol-free, fat-free, and contain no high-fructose corn syrup. They come in 4 sizes, with over 100 flavors (including sugar-free), plus toppings and fruit. You could even use various creams, sodas, or ice cream to make a SnoDas- a SnoStyle Soda Drink. You can make their version of a milkshake (SnoShakes) or a Red Bull (SnoVivers). Each snoball includes two flavors, and with over 80 flavors, there are over 5,000 combinations. Since I am limiting my alcohol consumption nowadays, I ordered a margarita and sangria, regular size - it had all the taste of those flavors without the hangover. 1401B Lynnhaven Pkwy, Virginia Beach, VA 23453 Fall Hours: Every day 2 pm - 8 pm
