You can't eat at a fast food restaurant for that! All the menu items are great with plenty to choose from. There are always plenty of wait staff working to take care of the crowds. The wait times are generally short when your meal is made to order. We have used them numerous times for catering as well and they always exceed our expectations! The restaurant was completely remodeled during the last change in ownership and is now much better. Try it, you will not be disappointed! Don't forget to get some icecream or a banana split!

I've visited this location several times before and have always had a good experience, which is why…read morethis visit was so disappointing. I ordered a milkshake, and when I received it, it was basically chocolate milk...very thin and lacking the thick, creamy consistency you'd expect from a milkshake. To make matters worse, I had to have it remade because the wrong ice cream was used the first time. I also noticed that the employee preparing my milkshake wasn't wearing gloves either time it was made, which was concerning from a food-handling standpoint. The service overall wasn't very friendly or attentive, and it just wasn't the level of service I've come to expect from this location. The one positive thing I can say is that the restaurant itself was very clean and well-maintained. I've come here multiple times and have never had an experience this bad before. I'm hoping this was just an off day because I've enjoyed my previous visits, but this visit was definitely disappointing.

I popped in and the owner remembered me-although I hadn't seen her in years! She did my wedding cake (and cupcakes) back in 2014 when she was located in Elkin, NC. The cupcakes that I had then were Pumpkin Spice Cake and Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese icing and we also had Chocolate Cupcakes and they got rave reviews at my wedding! I opted for a vanilla cupcake and a few truffles/cake balls this trip and they were all great! The cake balls/truffles were Pineapple and Strawberry and they were super moist and flavorful. The cupcake was perfect. A yummy vanilla cake with a delicious frosting! It's nothing super fancy when you go in, as the case area is pretty small, but it's full of love and yummy treats!

The ice cream bar is in the back of the store. The selection was very creative. I had a scoop of something that sounded strange but tasted delicious.

I loved the section offering unique hand crafted bowls, boxes and other tableware. Some appeared to be from local artisans. It's a great little shop to visit when you are in the area.
