Sometimes you just have to have Handel's. About a week ago, early March, pretty nice night. Warm. Was at Marc's and looked across the street. Yep. Handel's it is then! I got the large shake, wife got a large scoop in a cup. Used to be a splurge. But as high as Dairy Queen has brought their prices up for their powdered milk pseudo dairy-like products, Handel's is a clear winner every time these days! Let's see, let's see... Do I want the high milk fat super premium ice cream that is made on site as needed? Or do I want the stuff made of powdered packaged ingredients? And yes, I am aware that some DQ products come in liquid form in a large plastic sack. Delicious as DQ sounds, and I DO stop in occasionally since it is close to where I live in Lake Milton. When it comes down to just pure Taste and Texture, or TT's as I like to call them, the TT's are my go to choice for delicious dairy treats every time! So go to Handel's, and get those delicious TT dairy treats!

You can never go wrong with Handel's Ice Cream; whether it's a Hurricane, Milkshake, cone, pint, or quart! They even have lil baby cones and doggy treats. Best Homemade Ice Cream!!!

Chocaholic. More like Chickaholic.

As I've said before, if you Love Handels, you will end up with Love Handles. I would know. What to get: Chocolate Malt w/Caramel (ice cream flavour or shake), Lemonade in summer How to improve: Slightly lower prices, and a more promotion of that particular flavour which is the best thing on the menu This was the first location of Handels I ever visited, and to this day it remains my favourite. It's also the original - providing further evidence that the original is usually the best (much like with Back To The Future and, well, me. So won't the real Fox E please stand up?) It's located a little ways East of a major highway, in the NW suburbs of Youngstown. Austintown is the name of the burb, and perfect is the description of the products. I definitely have my favourite, and it's the heavenly "Chocolate Malt W/Caramel" flavour, which can be served as either the best ice cream, or best shake, you may ever have. Certainly the best I've ever had from a chain restaurant, although Cook Out's Fresh Banana shake might protest. You also should try the excellent homemade lemonade in the summer (not available when it's cold), and anything else that takes your fancy (such as me). With its recognizable blue-and-white colours and an enormous number of chain locations now throughout the country, especially in OH and PA, its really cool to visit this, the original location and best, with the wonderful tastes and dreamy creamy products. Youngstown is an often-forgotten part of the world, but it will always be the home to Handel's - the best ice cream and milkshake chain in the country. When I'm famous, I will still get products from here, but I won't come and buy them myself... I'll have my Handel-ers come here and buy them for me.

Someone's disgusting fake nail.

A Heartfelt Experience at Rita's…read more I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Rita's in Austin town Ohio last November for the first time! It it was much more than just a treat for my taste buds,it was a heartwarming experience! The employees here are not just friendly; they genuinely care about their customers' lives. Each interaction felt personal and meaningful, making me feel like part of a community. Now, let's talk about the treats! The Italian ice is nothing short of spectacular, but I have to give a special shoutout to the cotton candy! It's light, fluffy, and bursting with flavor--truly a nostalgic delight that brings out the kid in everyone. Every bite is a reminder of carefree summer days, and I can't get enough! The staff took the time to share their favorite flavors and made recommendations that were spot on. Their enthusiasm and passion for what they do shine brightly, and it's clear they put their heart into every scoop. The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy your treats. Whether you're stopping by for a quick dessert or spending time with friends,Rita's feels like a home away from home. In short, Rita's is a treasure that combines outstanding service with incredible treats. I can't wait to return for more delicious cotton candy and to catch up with the amazing team there! Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a sweet escape! I have now gone back more times than I can actually count. Including again today. My kids absolutely love it as do I if you have not been there you are truly missing out.

There are few simple pleasures left in the world that consistently deliver joy--and Handel's Ice…read moreCream is one of them. From the moment you arrive, the experience feels intentionally unhurried and charming. Ordering at the window adds to that classic ice cream parlor nostalgia, and the outdoor seating invites you to slow down, sit back, and actually enjoy the moment instead of rushing through it. On a warm day, it's exactly where you want to be. The Service, omg the service was amazing, they care, they listen they even try to help with custom non menu item requests. And then there's the ice cream. Magnificent. Truly. Rich, creamy, perfectly balanced, and unmistakably homemade in both texture and flavor. Each bite feels indulgent without being overwhelming, and it's clear that quality--not shortcuts--is the priority here. This isn't just dessert; it's craftsmanship. Handel's manages to do something rare: it delivers consistency, atmosphere, and exceptional product all at once. Whether you're stopping by with family, friends, or simply treating yourself, it feels like a small celebration every time. If you appreciate great ice cream, thoughtful simplicity, and a place that understands the value of doing one thing extremely well--this is it. Highly recommended.

There's nothing quite like Handel's, and it was the perfect final stop after our big Italian…read moredinner. Even on a chilly night, their ice cream is a must-have. Sometimes, all you need to soothe an overindulged stomach is a perfect scoop of classic vanilla, and Handel's absolutely delivered. I love the old-school, no-fuss vibe here. It's a classic walk-up window setup, with the ice cream hut at the center of a spacious parking lot, making for a super easy in-and-out trip. Service was quick and friendly, exactly what you want. For those who want to linger, there are plenty of picnic tables with umbrellas. Or, you can easily get a lid and take your treats to go. While my friend dove into a delicious Butterscotch Ripple, my simple vanilla was exactly what I needed--creamy, rich, and the perfect palate cleanser. They have a huge menu with tons of flavors for every possible craving. It's the ideal spot for a quick, high-quality after-dinner treat. A true classic.
