Denny's Ice Cream Stand was founded in 1982. It sells ice creams and also other foods such as yogurts, sherbets, slushies, milkshakes, burgers, hotdogs, and fries. Please see my uploaded photos for the menus. My husband and I were visiting Erie, and we wanted to try some local ice cream. I searched on Yelp and chose Denny's. When we parked our vehicle in the parking lot, we felt surprised to see a Denny's Touchless Auto Wash and a Denny's Coin Laundry. This Denny guy seems to own a lot! At the ice cream stand, an employee immediately greeted us. I asked him questions about two menu items, and he provided answers. He also allowed me to sample one ice cream for free. He accurately rang up our purchase and thanked us. Here are my reviews for the foods: Blue Moon - 4 stars - This ice cream tastes sweet and roughly similar to vanilla but is colored a unique blue. Hot fudge sundae - 4 stars - My husband ate this sundae. He said that it tasted good and typical. read more

Traveling through and needed an ice cream fix. Found this place, and there was quiet the line, so I figured that many ppl couldn't be wrong. I got the bourboncarmelpecan ice cream and was very happy with the flavors and all the pecans. Service was top-notch. read more

We were staying near Presque Isle for a few days and decided we wanted some real ice cream! We found this little spot on Google and gave it a try. The area it's in seemed a little sketchy but the stand was nice. The service was quick and the food was good. He ordered some Oreo milkshake or something similar. I had a chili cheese fries. The pups shared a cup of vanilla ice cream. Overall, cute place, good experience. Would possibly go back next time we are in the Erie ares. read more

I found this late night got to it right before it closed. The people working seemed it good spirits and were jamming out. I had their version of a blizzard and it really hit the spot. The only reason I'm docking them a point is because I feel, as a person of the thicker persuasion, that they didn't provide an adequate amount of ice cream in the cup. read more

This was a cute little ice cream stand I went to visit while in Erie for the day. They've got lots of different flavors and blue moon and orange sherbet every day! They've got some great prices and lots of things to choose from. They also have fried food and other simple snack items for really cheap prices. They carry a special flavor of soft serve and frozen yogurt each day so keep an eye out for something special! The location wasn't hard to find on the corner of Parade and Tenth and I walked there in about 15 minutes from the center of town by the park. There isn't a ton of parking here but people seem to come and go pretty quickly so no worries. read more

Great Ice Cream at a great price. I thought I'd be adventurous and try their twist with the watermelon sherbet. To be honest, I want expecting to like it, but talk about amazing!! I felt like Ratatouille with the flavors floating around my head. SO good! I got the small and it was pretty big. My husband got the biggest one... you know, the kind they make for people who believe ice cream is the food group we need the most of. The kids working were... well, kids. That would be my only negative about this place. read more

Denny's did a fantastic job with social distancing and organizing their lines at the walk-up windows. The ice cream was good and two things stood out during our first visit. The blue moon soft-serve was a hit for our youngest as he loves blue moon hard ice cream. And the flurry was topped with our mix-in of choice -- the best!!! All of my kids were excited to have extra toppings. My husband's hand dipped was as ice cream should be.... definitely recommend!! read more

This is definitely another one of Erie's hidden gems…read more I've discovered this local spot last summer, when I was disappointed with other places for not getting my order right. This tiny icecream shop is owned by 2 lovely owners, Kang & Gary Garnic. They offer homemade ice cream along with various flavor options for Dairy-free/ Gluten-free people as well. I have not had any flavors that I do not like yet, though my favorite is their "Sea salt" ice cream, a nice vanilla ice cream with a little twist of salty taste that is just perfect not to mention the blue color that makes it instagram-worthy). I love their subtly sweet taste that does not scream "There is a bunch of sugar added in here". and it leaves you wanting more after you finish your scoop. There are a couple of tables inside the shop as well as on their small patio. There is parking onsite, though I believe it can be a little challenging if you come on a hot day where everyone else also wants ice cream. I am so glad they are here. Definitely one more reason to love Erie

She was one of the most unpleasant counter staff we've ever encountered. The other girl there who handed us our ice cream wasn't much better. We both looked at each other like "What the heck?"
