We had a great experience at Del's. The line was out the door from the time that we got in line and continued in that fashion even as we drove back by a little later that night. There were 3 teenagers working. I was impressed because their work ethic and attitudes were great. They were quick, knowledgeable, and hard-working. The menu included probably 30 ice creams, sundaes, and milkshakes. read more

So I am pretty much an ice cream connoisseur, if I do say so myself. Every time we come to Gulf Shores, we always hit up Matt's Ice Cream... It is pretty amazing! However, through some research lately, we decided to give this new place a try. If you blindfolded me, handed me the ice cream, and I tasted it, I would be so impressed... I got mint chocolate chip, and it was very good, while my husband got a chocolate chip cookie dough milkshake and really enjoyed it. BUTTTTT... If you let me taste the ice cream while looking at the prices, there's no way I would tell you it was worth it. For 1 shake, and 1 scoop of ice cream in a cup, it cost us almost $18 with tax. We probably will head back down the road, unless they decide to start giving "teacher discounts." read more

Poor service Arrived about 10:10 pm on a Wednesday 8th Excited to try but to my surprise the employees were not . Too worried about punching out and not enough worry to attend customers. Please have a talk with employees about their work values and how to execute the last stretch of the night . We love showing appreciation but make sure to not lose face of the actual support to monetize the business which is the customer . Flavors were good nonetheless. read more

Wonderfully delicious ice cream, and fantastic service. Cute little shop and the ice cream is made locally small batch. Plenty of seating and decorated perfectly for the local beaches. Jada was patient with our large family. Highly recommend. read more

Half the time when places say the ice cream is homemade...it's not, lol. But I think Del's might be the real deal! Whatever the case, we enjoyed it enough to visit twice on our beach visit -- and that's high praise, considering I always wanna try as many different places as possible while on vacation. Tucked at the end of a large shopping center, Del's provided the treat we needed to round out our dining experiences for the day. One night I came alone but got carryout for my sister in law, husband, and brother in law; another night, we brought the WHOLE family (9 people total). The same employee was there both nights and she handled us with patience and grace! My one small complaint is that when she scooped ice cream, she didn't wear a glove. It made me more uncomfortable on one night because she had a bandaid on one of her fingers that she was scooping with. I don't doubt her handwashing practices, but I would've felt better with a glove on or something. But maybe I'm just a germaphobe. At any rate, once I got over that, the ice cream was truly fabulous! I had a scoop of peanut butter pie one night and a scoop of the brownie biscoff the other. Both were yummy, but the brownie biscoff was a revelation. I'd buy it by the pint if I could. They have about 20 flavors to choose from and you can also get milkshakes and sundaes. There's not much seating inside, but we were staying nearby so we just took our goodies to go both nights. I wish I'd had more time to try more flavors. But I'm sure I'll invariably be back in this area for a vacation in the future -- and a return visit to Del's will be on my list for that trip! read more

Only reason this place does not get a 5 star review is because of the prices. Now listen I came with 6 people so it's going to be pricey but I feel like it should be a little less expensive. Ice cream was amazing though read more

Over priced! Tried to overcharge. Employee could do simple math. Tired to charge excessive amount for Sales Tax. I do not recommend this business. read more

Delicious!!! Milkshakes (I customized one of the specialties!). Also, the kids enjoyed ice cream cones! And all ice cream is homemade!!! read more

I was really impressed with these ice cream flavors! They had so many options beyond the typical "chocolate, strawberry, Superman, cookie dough) My kids got the honey lavender (so refreshing) and the hot chocolate flavored ice cream. The s'mores flavor would have been up my alley but I wasn't in the mood for a whole serving. They mentioned they did away with a kids size scoops and I definitely recommend bringing that back. Service was great too! Wish I could remember the young lady's name but she was so kind and friendly. She was happy to let my kids test a few flavors which was nice. You know sometimes you get those that seem annoyed when you ask for samples so I was very pleased. This is hands down our new favorite ice cream shop at the beach! Will go again for sure! read more

Dels ice cream was THE BEST ice cream we had while im gulf shores and we ate ice cream every night, sometimes twice a day! Hands down the freshest and most delicious! read more

Took the grands to check this local ice cream shop out. Strawberry Cookies and Cream was a big hit. I enjoyed the Biscoff Cookie. The only thing that I would improve is the cleanliness of the tables. Everything else was great. read more

Long line. Took about 25 minutes. 2 scoops was like 1 scoop for the price we paid we should be getting 2 scoops. Icecream was good. Could've had maybe 1 more person working. Friendly staff. Clean establishment. read more

The ice cream was good, but it's frustrating when the workers just sit on their phones nowadays. The ice cream did appear like it was starting to get ice crystals on it. read more

Great ice cream with a friendly staff. It was very busy, but the hard working staff got everyone taken care of without a long wait.

Best Ice Cream and candy selection in Beach area. Arcade in the back room was a blast. Giant PAC-Man and Space invaders.

Serviced was nice. Serving as large Flavors were very good. Our grand baby had his first ever ice cream, ( very organic natural diet, so homemade pure was helpful for a first try of any type cows milk) the server was so nice to him. The quality was a factor. read more

There are several ice cream shops around. This one was awesome. Had the Chocolate Peanut Butter Sundae. Highly recommend.

Absolutely emasculate milkshake with some of the best icecream I've ever had. Their s'mores ice cream was to die for. Perfect shop.

So many flavors from which to choose and the friendliest staff! I had a scope of coconut and one of the brownie Biscoff. Soooo yummy!! Two of my kids had blue moon (indescribable good) and the other had birthday cake. Everyone was happy with their choices. We also walked in just before closing time and the staff were so happy to see us. Check out Del's! read more

Tons of homemade flavors! This is a great spot for ice cream in OBA. I had the Cookie Lovers Sundae and loved it, so much so that I forgot to take a picture of it. My wife had raspberry chocolate chip and my sample of it was very tasty. Don't let a long line keep you from stopping in. The line moved quick and service was excellent! read more

It was pretty busy when we came in on a Sunday night. Our kiddos tried a few flavors but we settled on Watermelon sorbet, S'mores, cookies & cream, chocolate chip, & strawberry cookies & cream. All were delicious, but the watermelon sorbet (tasted like a lollipop). We will return! read more

We had a little bit of everything here. It looked like a long wait but it wasn't bad at all. We loved that we were able to try some things before we got it and they did not rush you at all! We had the brownie sundae, butter beer, watermelon sorbet, cookie dough and cookies and cream and all enjoyed those flavors! Definitely will go back here! read more

Holy Moly! This ice cream is so yummy! Watch out Ben and Jerry!! We'll be back, maybe tomorrow.

Easy to get in and out here for some quick and tasty treats. The employees are so helpful and nice. I chose the Orange Beach Fizz (Float) which includes your choice of sorbet and Sprite! So super yummy!!! I had strawberry and lime sorbet for my flavors. Excellent decision!! Kids had single scoop cone with cookie dough ice cream and Chocolate brownie mIlkshake. They demolished those in no time. Husband got the Reese's Peanut Milkshake and it looked heavenly!! Too bad lactose is not my friend. My mom also had an Orange Beach Fizz with Lime and Pineapple sorbet. Did I mention how nice the employees are and they worked well as a team to prepare the orders so we didn't have to wait long for one person to make all the items. Definitely a good place to visit and will come back to this specific location. read more
