I was visiting family in Farmersville and we decided to get some ice cream. A short drive and we…read morewere at this place. THIS IS AMAZING ICE CREAM. My 4yo finished her entire cone before making a mess with it melting which is new for her. With me, my daughter, son, brother, mother and father all together, the order was out within 5 minutes of ordering. The ice cream is very creamy. This is a great spot for the small towns south of Springfield to avoid the drive in. I didn't have the food, however the family that lives there said it's one of their favorite spots for a quick dinner when no one wants to cook. Next time I'm up from Florida, that's where I want to eat at first so stay tuned.

This place is amazing. Each ice cream cone is made individually with over 30 flavors. The food is…read moregreat and everything is cheap. 30 mins from Springfield on old Route 66.

My fiance, daughter and I just moved here from Las Vegas in September and we have been missing our elote (Mexican corn), paletas (ice cream) and more! Their ice cream is all freshly made and all natural. Same with their popsicles, you can see the real fruit in them and there are so many options to choose from. My grandma and I went yesterday and my grandma got the milk mango popsicle and I got the watermelon one and they were both phenomenal. I also would highly recommend the Mexican corn, it's my absolute favorite and any of the agua frescas. Basically water based refreshments. I got the watermelon one, of course and it tastes like drinking through a watermelon with a straw. My grandma got the horchata and that is rice milk with cinnamon. We will probably be going back today, too!

The wait was worth it tho. The vegetable soup was very good and everything on the salad bar was fresh and a nice selection. The AYCE crabs legs are a bit pricey at $59.99 per person considering the size of the legs on the clusters are a little small. They are steamed perfectly and snapped open easily to remove the meat. I could detect a hint of lemon flavor in the crab meat and asked the waitress to check if the gentleman steaming them had added some lemon to the water and the answer was yes. I've never experienced that before and it was a really nice touch! An AYCE crab leg special is always something I watch for. Next time I'd choose a different reservation time tho.
