Good ice cream in gargantuan portions (for real, your average person would struggle to finish a 'baby size' by themself). Staff was all especially friendly and fast, making this place a perfect stop on your long haul. read more

Such a fun place! Sandwiches are good! I wanted to try the huge ice cream so bad! But that darn corn allergy! Ugh' the ice cream did have corn syrup And the girls that worked there were so kind checking several of them bins of different flavors til. I told it was okay they didn't need to keep checking! But it was very kind of them. They also have a folder for food allergies which was nice too! So many fun souvenirs and the old building architecture deficient worth having a good look outside at the building. Great pit stop! I bought some Wyoming jade earrings and some Wyoming made soap for a gift. Clean bathrooms but only one bathroom stall just FYI because there may be a line! One for bathroom the other for the ice cream! I still can't believe how big they were! read more

Yum! Traveling through WY on our way to SLC we stumbled upon this place! Huckleberry ice cream? Who knew? But now that I do, I want more. Huckleberry shared the cone space with cookies and cream...what a great combo! Baby cone? Who's the father? King Kong? Seriously the largest scoop of ice cream ever at prices of days gone by. I doubt I'll ever find my way back through this area again, but if I do, this will be a stop for sure. read more

Alright so NORMALLY we wouldn't have been anywhere close to this little store but when we were driving to Jackson Hole we saw the place with the sign that said ice cream so we figured we'd stop on the way home. So on our way home I saw it and said 'STOP' I'm so glad I did! We walked in and it's a small place with a bunch of locals working there. We decided we'd get some ice cream they let us try it with a huge taste of the huckleberry (seasonal) and that was one flavor we got then I got mint chocolate chip because that is my favorite and it was awesome when I tasted it. We also got strawberry cheesecake. I'm watching this girl scoop my 1 scoop of ice cream and she just kept scooping...my one scoop here was bigger then 4 scoops anywhere - they offer four here but unless you want to get sick I would stick with the one. YUMM! read more

Yes, it's an ice cream shop with ridiculously huge servings, but they also have pizza, sandwiches, and a decent selection of gifts. They had grilled cheese and PB & J on the kids menu, plus BLTs, chicken salad, and traditional deli meat/cheese subs. The kids split an 8" cheese pizza and I couldn't finish my own 8" pizza. The ice cream pic is a "half baby scoop", which is a decent size for most adults, but they're very generous with their portions and will give a much larger one if you don't stop them like my husband did. Staff was very friendly and polite even though they were in the middle of a rush while we were there. Good stop for those passing through.
