Pricing is decent and there is a cool sitting area inside or a few benches outside along the sidewalk for your sitting pleasure. Today, I did the cookie dough milkshake and it was delicious! Last week I had a banana split, with is pricey but massive - I couldn't even finish the whole thing! The customer service was good both times. They also have specials on soft served cone ice creams on Sunday's too I think. They have about 8-10 different flavors from what I saw. The flavor I need to sample next time is called "exhausted parent"- lol

Wendell NC is a lovely small authentic NC town which consists of several small shall shops, mainly…read morebars and restaurants. One of those special small little shops is the creative cone, a family-owned frozen dessert business focused on delivering something deliciously unique to main street. Unlike DQ or any convenience store, the ice cream is small batch more delicious than any big box brand. The ideal ice cream shop goes beyond serving delicious frozen treats; it creates an immersive experience that delights customers through visual appeal, enticing aromas, high-quality ingredients, and friendly service. It becomes a place where customers can create cherished memories while indulging in their favorite frozen delights, and this is the focus of the creative cone. The creative cone brings a "build a bear" experience in the form of frozen desserts. They can build a cake or even flavor a soft serve and deliver it in a freshly baked waffle cone with all the fix-ins, without breaking a sweat. Wendell is lucky to have the creative cone, Cheers!

There was no cheese and it was also cold! It looked mashed together by hand!! This was my 2nd and last visit. My first visit no issues however today was definitely a waste of time and money!

Fast food at a higher level…read more I usually stay away from chain restaurants, but this relatively new midwest chain caught my attention - and I am glad it did. When you walk in the door it just feels different. The interior is clean, relaxing and inviting. You still have to order at the counter, but then you seat yourself and a server brings your freshly-prepared food to you. The signature item, the ButterBurger®, takes this staple to a new level. I tried the Deluxe with Swiss Cheese, Mayo, Lettuce, Onion and Pickle. It was one of the best fast-food burgers I've ever had. The patty was as thin as all the other burgers around, but juicy and slightly buttery. The Onion Rings had a good balance of sweetness and crunch - a definite winner. The Wisconsin Cheese Curds were dry and disappointing. The Grilled Reuben Melt was not quite what you would get at a New York Deli, but still enjoyable. There was a good portion of tender corned beef, cheese and sauerkraut on nicely buttered bread. Other options include three Salads, Grilled & Fried Chicken and Chicken Tenders. The Butterfly Jumbo Shrimp were surprisingly good, and the Cocktail Sauce pleasantly tangy. My favorite is the Beef Pot Roast sandwich with extra Grilled Onions. The shredded beef is tender and flavorful, and the Horseradish Sauce tastes like the real thing. The Crinkle Cut Fries have that crispy snap with a tender, crunchy inside. Cod Fish and Shrimp dinners come with Crinkle Cut Fries, Cole Slaw and a Dinner Roll. Culver's Ice Cream is creamier and smoother than most soft-serve I have had. There's also Regular & Malted Milk Shakes, Root Beer Floats, Ice Cream Sundaes Concrete Mixers and Smoothies.

I brought it to the cashier's attention and the response was "that's not the price in our computer". I told the cashier that it was false advertising. Needless to say I didn't get any resolve. I'm very disappointed and will not be back. The more I think about it, multiple customers may be getting cheated out if their money. I also took pictures of my receipt and the board in the store.

Very welcoming atmosphere. When you come in you're instructed to peruse the menu and order/pay at the register. Or you can seat yourself first, gather your utensils, and order from the menu more leisurely. I chose the latter option. Totally worth careful consideration of the menu IMO. I chose the Eye Opener Breakfast with extra side of grits, sausage and home fries. My family ordered the Salmon Smorrebord and the BLT&E on Crossant. Absolutely delectable. I'm definitely a fan and look forward to my next occasion to visit.

I wanted to take a friend to a nice spot Friday June 12, he had never had the pleasure of…read moreexperiencing. I've been here many times however it was his 1st visit. I let him know the food was great, home cooked and good portions. The one thing that ruined the evening was the RUDE waitress, he walked up to the table and before he could sit down she bought my drink out, she asked what will you have to drink, he's looking confused and responds still standing, well what do you have? She rambles all the options so fast I'm not sure he understood all but made a choice. Then he sat down. She came back and slid it on the table like a fly by.. Soon she bought a hush puppy basket they were cold, I dare not complain she was so nasty and distant. Next she came back, order book open and I was like it's his 1st time, she didn't say anything, she just looked out the window and waited, so we just knew we needed to order, so I named my meat before I could finish SIDES??then he simply asks did they have bone in chicken ( I didn't know he was going to ask or I would have told him beforehand) she says no we have , fried chicken breast tenders, sisco chicken etc, she named every chicken dish on the menu without taking a breath.. I can give her props for knowing that..we both were looking at her confused and she never looked at us it was always "looking out the window " He said just give me "Flounder " one piece or two??? He replies one, SIDES??? Like we needed to be on point. She took the menus and left. She asked the questions she needed but was mean, not engaging and just rude. The WAY she asked.. When our food came this waitress walked by and literally slid our food on the table in a way that was like HERE! And kept walking I don't even think she stopped when she put them on the table she may have slowed down. We had to reach towards the end of the table to slide our plates in front of us. We both looking at each other in agreement she just nasty! The next time she came back she walked by and sat down a half glass of refill for his drink, she hadn't asked she just did it, suppose he wanted a glass of water? When we put our forks down she came over to get his plate and bought me a to go box as I still had half my food on my plate and she left the ticket. She didn't say is there anything I can get you or anything the entire time. He put his pymt with the ticket and put it on the edge of the table, I hadn't been in a while so I forgot we would pay on the way out. She was cleaning the floor near us and slid our ticket/pymt farther on our table, as if it was in her way, again he's confused so he said this is ready and she let him know to pay up front. I have never experienced such a nasty waitress at this restaurant and because of this I probably will never go back. I don't like not feeling comfortable and welcomed in a place where my money and time is going into. I started to complain before I left but in reality I don't think it would have mattered, and we left a tip not as much as we would have if she was more pleasant. I don't know whether she was having a bad day, a long day or to take it personal but I can't deal with attitude like that and won't take a chance on it again. This man drove a hour to experience this was just unbelievable!!!!
