    two people holding ice cream cones

    It's hard to complain when it comes to ice cream. The ice cream is served up quickly, however the line to order can be lengthy. Your typical ice cream stand, with a flare for flavor options, unique combos and additional frozen treats.

    Peanut butter explosion

    Great place for you and the family to get some yummy treats. I have been going for years. My favorite is the peanut butter explosion. Full of so many peanut butter cups!! Small cones are basically 3 scoops of ice cream. Yes prices have gone up but completely worth it. Go and check them out.

    Such a large menu! I felt overwhelmed trying to settle on a choice but opted for a scoop of vanilla and a scoop of black cherry on a waffle cone. DELICIOUS! Tried a bit of the Oreo flurry, black raspberry and the fruit and berry soft ice cream. All of them were solid

    We drive by McDonald Road a few times a day. If it's an ice cream day, we scope out the line rubberneck style to see if the line isn't 20+ minutes long. Some days we get lucky, others we wait 20+ minutes. It helps that they're open til 10 PM. It's easier to pop in after 9 PM if you're having that kind of night. If I'm going to Gannon's, I'm getting hard ice cream. Most places serve name brand ice cream you can buy at stores, but Gannon's makes their own and rotates them often. Coffee, peanut butter and Oreos are the ice cream trifecta, and they always have hard ice cream flavors that heavily support this habit. I recently discovered that peanut butter and bananas carries over into ice cream, so I've been banana splitting everything lately. Gannon's ice cream is the best quality hard ice cream in my ice cream rotation, and it's also the most expensive. We place crazy orders here, but two sundaes can run us almost $15.00. I guess they can get away with it though, so why shouldn't they?

    Snickers Sundae

    Amazing ice cream!!! We stopped here after having a craving for ice cream and wanting something as close as possible to us. Gannon's was the first place that came up, so we decided to give it a try. I can't believe I've never heard about this place before. It's located in a small plaza with other businesses in a no-thrills type of building. The layout of the building made it really easy to abide by Covid protocols while getting your ice cream which is always another plus. You can expect a wait due to the high demand of their delicious ice cream! I got the snickers sundae. I'm not sure if you can even call it a sundae because of how massive it was- it was served on a plate dish! I appreciated the creativity and sizable portions as I am an ice cream lover. I also appreciated the home made flavors, AND the use of gluten cookies to create flavors too. Overall, if you're looking for ice cream: you have to stop here. Perfect for everyone.

    Medium soft serve. Very creamy
    Fetima W.

    A variety of hard ice cream and soft served to choose from. I opted for a vanilla and chocolate twist. Their ice cream was very creamy and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Service was great. Ordered a kid size cookie dough ice cream and my daughter said that was the best cookie dough ice cream she had ever had.

    mediocre ice cream. $4 for this tiny cone and the ice cream melted really fast indicating there isn't a lot of cream content and it's more watered down. the flavor was mediocre, ben and jerry's is way better. i don't understand the hype with this place. wanted to try this as a new syracuse resident and it looked highly recommended but will not be coming back. Felt rushed to order as well and sizes nor flavors were explained to me.

    So much fun on hot nights!

    They do make a very good shake. Creamy and with lots of fruit. Nowhere around me that does a better one.

    It's weird how you can live a life in fully devoted to getting ice cream whenever possible from…read morewherever possible and still find new places like this. I don't think this place has been around long at least, but we definitely missed in its prime this season. It's kind of tucked away on Nottingham in the Drumlins building. We tried to come here last Sunday. Their posted hours had them opening hours ago, but they were closed. We cried and cried, regrouped, and went to Carvel. They were open the next time we tried a few days later. It seems like a small setup and one-man operation, with a dozen or so flavors of Hershey's hard ice cream and standard soft serve. It's the last week of the season, so they were kind of winding down. I love Fall, but it's sad watching the ice cream places dwindle down once they've stopped re-ordering. And all the best flavors go first. I got a banana pudding sundae and added peanut butter sauce, because peanut butter banana. The banana pudding made a great sundae, and they put something that served as pie crust at the bottom. I wish I'd thought to slow down and see what it was, because it was incredible, but I ate it as quickly as possible. They don't seem to have a ton of selection on the regular menu (maybe they do specials when they're going full speed during the season), but I'd come back to try at least half the sundaes I saw if they're made as well as the one I had. My girlfriend got a milkshake and used banana pudding ice cream, and a scoop of peanut butter ice cream (I forget the name of it). It was an average milkshake she said, but the pb cup pieces in the ice cream and crunch coat added on top made it better. We threw in a counter cookie at the last minute. It was a lot bigger, but I'd compare the taste and consistency to a Wegman's chocolate chunk cookie. Soft and kind of chewy but with a super consistent texture. They're homemade, but have a less than homemade feel to them if that makes sense. We were extremely hungry and taking our ice creams home, so this was to keep us alive for the drive home. I'd have to see some compelling specials or be right in the area to come back here. It's better than a bare bones ice cream stand, but not enough to pull me in from the distance I drove to try it.

    Nice servers, big portions of great ice cream! With two two-year-old grandkids who loved it too!read more

    I strongly believe that if you own and/or work in a service capacity that wouldn't typically allow…read morepets, you should be VERY aware of Service Dog rules. I tried to go into this establishment with my service dog and the woman said "no dogs allowed" when I responded that he was a service dog, she looked at the man working said "where's his vest". I said he wasn't obligated to wear one to which the woman responded "my allergies". I felt very unwelcome and I put the dog in my car and came back to tell them that not all disabilities were visible and their actions made me feel incredibly unwelcome and distressed. To which, the they chuffed while the customers laughed and the man said "all I did was ask you where his vest was". No sir, that's not all you did. It's really easy to Google the laws and to see that you can ask questions, ones that I will happily answer when done in a way that feels respectful. All I wanted was ice cream man!

I wanted the speciality hot fudge sundae but it wasn't on the board but she said no problem she would make it in the bigger container and put a lot of fudge throughout it. It was amazing!! A large amount of ice cream and the hot fudge was delicious. They have a small seating area inside and a few small tables outside. It's a destination for me because it's like a 45 minute drive. Whenever I'm in the area I will for sure stop in!!!
