Not the best person for an ice cream shop review, because I keep it super basic. I was told by the elders of Demascus that their parents and grandparents came to this ice cream shop and that it was the town staple. I had a simple soft serve vanilla chocolate swirl on waffle cone (my go to). It was smooth and creamy. The thing here is this butterscotch sauce my nieces fell in love with. I had a taste and it was very good. The folks were nice! It's an outdoor establishment just so you know. There are benches and outdoor seating. Jimmie Cone is THE PLACE for ice cream in this town. read more

I used to sling Soft Serve when I was in High School. It is always fun and something to enjoy. We wandered to Jimmie Cone for a tasty treat. We were not disappointed overall. 1. The waffle cone was amazing. 2. The ice cream (soft serve) was perfect. We also got one to take home. Overall, this was a good hot summer day stop. The place, on a Sunday afternoon was pretty busy to boot! read more

The absolute best strawberry ice cream ever! Took the ride from Columbia, MD after hearing so many good things. The line was long, but it moved pretty quickly. The root beer float was good too. Will be back for sure! read more

We waited in a long line (though moved fast!) on a very hot day. It was worth the wait! Very friendly and quick service. I just got a vanilla ice cream in a cup with sprinkles. Definitely satisfied my ice cream craving! I didn't realize they also had Italian/water ice. Will have to try that next. read more

Well, I would like to support small businesses but I will not drive 45 min just to get the soft serve there. It's mediocre soft serve. Nothing special. It's great place to have in the area, where there is not other choice. We have Carmen in Rockville, which their products are way superior. Jimmie's soft serve fat contain is much less than 10%. In order to have rich and flavorful soft serve, it has to have 10%. Try Carmen's, you know the difference. read more

First of all, it's ice cream! Soft serve only, which is my personal favorite. They offer the creamiest ice cream I've ever had, anywhere! The portions are beyond generous, almost more than I can eat (and I always get a small cup with Jimmie's). There is almost always a line, regardless of the weather, but with two windows open, the line moves quickly. The seating is all outside, along the parking lot, on picnic tables. Until recently, they were a cash-only business but they now accept cards too. The menu has a lot of variety, including shakes and floats, sundaes and cones. They've got an extra small size for little kids, but even that is generous. It's a happy place to go and enjoy a delicious treat. Family owned for as long as I can remember, at least 15 years. read more

I understand its summer and busy. But it would be nice if somebody could wipe the tables, sweep up and empty the trash cans every hour or 2. The Mt Airy location is dirty. read more

Absolutely, great! long lines because they excellent. Service, ice cream & atmosphere bright ... you'll love the best!!!

I have been coming to Jimmie Cone for years but in the past few years after moving to Frederick I have exclusively been going to the Mount Airy location. Each time I go I get the Small Chocolate Milkshake which is hands down the best milkshake I've ever had. Something about using soft serve ice cream to make a milkshake is just amazing and I never get tired of it. The Mount Airy location can get crowded with long lines at times but I promise it is well worth the wait. I look forward to many more years of frequenting Jimmie Cone in the future and I recommend anyone looking for amazing soft serve ice cream to do the same. read more

Jimmie Cone - Small Chocolate Milkshake - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Mount Airy, Maryland

Great local ice cream place to stop at after a day of shopping or a hot day out with the family! Their homemade soft serve is creamy and smooth, with the perfect amount of sweetness. The number of flavors is limited to vanilla, chocolate, twist, and a flavor of the day, but they do not disappoint with the delicious taste of the flavors they do have. Toppings are always fresh and cover your whole ice cream, so you get the flavor you want with every bite. Sizes are also very generous compared to the small, medium, and large of other ice cream shops. You certainly get your money's worth here. There's no indoor seating, but it's nice to enjoy your cone out in the sun. Typically they have picnic tables to sit at enjoy your ice cream or frozen ice. Highly recommend coming here! read more

Jimmie Cone - Medium twist with rainbow sprinkles - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Mount Airy, Maryland

great little ice cream spot. We got hot fudge sundaes and enjoyed them. Fast service and polite.

The family wanted ice cream and we decided to try Jimmie cone for the first time. I'm a huge fan for Brusters, but wanted some soft serve ice cream. When we arrived there was a fairly long time, but they seemed to have a good method going on. They had markers to enforce distancing as well as signs regarding mask guidelines. My husband got the banana split and the kids and I decided to just do regular soft serve with "jimmies". They were quick and efficient, but the ice cream did melt fast. We ate in the parking lot and noticed many people, who probably come often, brought chairs and sat in the parking lot. They have various options, so we certainly want to go back. read more

We love this place and have for many years. I always get the same thing - swirl of chocolate and vanilla with rainbow Jimmies. They are doing a great job with protecting both customers and their workers during the COVID19 pandemic. They are requiring masks for all customers and employees. Employees are wearing gloves and there are separate personell handling money and food. They have removed the tables and have markers on the sidewalk for social distancing. Many people sit in their lift gates or just hang out in the parking lot. You'll often find car meets going on in the parking lot and some pretty cool rides show up - both vintage and modern super car. Low prices, great soft serve (and other choices). Cash only. Enjoy! read more

Very good soft serve ice cream. Highly recommend . affordable and very good service. And very kid friendly and has really nice open seating.

Always a good time. Service is quick and the soft serve is good. The banana boat is big and hard to finish.

Love Jimmie Cone! Miss it when it is closed for winter. Hot Fudge Sundae is awesome! read more

Jimmie Cone has always been our Favorite treat spot in Mount Airy. I'm diabetic so I always get their sugar free yogurt and their Flavor of the Day has never failed to impress me. Thanks for reading my review. read more

Wow! This place is amazing! We got cones: the vanilla cone with rainbow (extra small) and the rotating flavor of orange (small). It was amazing!! There was a line but it moved quick. They are taking extra precautions to make sure folks are social distanced, which is nice. Wish there was one in dc! We'll be back! read more

Jimmie cone is a nice little place where people come from there school and work there the ice cream is so tasty hey give you so much ice cream and the price is affordable read more

This was the best ice cream I've had in a long time. Tastes just like cones from the truck when I was a kid. Huge sized cones and tons of sprinkles!! They have options, the prices are great, service staff were a bunch of well mannered high school kids. The lot was clean as well as the inside. read more

THE BEST soft serve around! Seems like the entire town likes to hang out here on a summer Saturday night. The people that work here hustle! Even with a long line they move through it quickly and always are friendly and look like they're having fun. Dangerous to have this place so close to home! read more

Love this place always kind to everyone!! The ice cream is soft serve and is good. I love the flurry's so much they are very tasty and hit the spot just right!!!! Place is busy so just be prepared to wait a little!! read more

Really good ice cream in a family friendly setting with plenty of seating. Cones are massive so if you have kids ask for a cup and spoon to go with it. Shake was really good too. Definitely recommend. read more

Forget Rita's! This is where I come when I'm craving some frozen custard. Which is pretty much every day in the summer. My favorite is a small twist (chocolate and vanilla) cone. Even for a small, the serving is generous. I know my boyfriend couldn't finish his medium cone one time. Prices are pretty cheap. There is usually a line during the summer, especially if you go there at night or after a local baseball game. There are several picnic benches to sit at while you enjoy your frozen custard. It is located right in the middle of downtown Damascas making it easy to locate if its first time visiting this summer landmark. read more

This place is slammed packed every night they're open. Maybe like a fifteen minute wait but the jimmies are worth it.

Such a perfect summer treat!!! Recommend as always for anyone who is an ice cream lover like myself! 11/10 so delicious!

A classic Damascus/Mt.Airy favorite for ice cream. A solid name in your local soft serve ice cream. The long lines on a hot day show it's popularity for a summery treat. I got a root beer flavor snow cone with vanilla ice cream on top, an icy interpretation of a root beer float. It was pretty tasty and the combination worked quite well. The ice cream doesn't blow me away as I prefer scooped ice cream but hey it's pretty creamy still. read more

I've been going to Jimmie Cone in Mount Airy for the past 20 years. It's a throwback ice cream stand like you remember as a kid. The ice cream is nothing special but is consistently good. It's a very popular place so be prepared to wait in line. But it's worth it. read more

Literally go-to Ice Cream spot. Closes at 11 so sometimes we'll catch it at 10:45. Suuuper cheap, but they actually give so much even for a small! Love coming here, so many options but the classic vanilla chocolate twist is amazin'. Heads up, they only take cash so come prepared for that! read more

Everything is good, soft-serve, banana splits, shakes, etc.... Good service - definitely the place to go for a cold & sweet dessert

Jimmie's is a day trip in and of itself. Here I had thought I was going to make the trek out to Jimmie's, get some photos, enjoy a soft serve with, what else, chocolate jimmies, and all around languor about enjoying a summer afternoon with the local crowd, then come back and be first to yelp about it! Oh well, can't be first, but I'm still going to make a trip out there for all the rest! :) Jimmie's is truly a bit of serendipity in the middle of nowhere. I used to commute from Baltimore to Gaithersburg and I was lucky enough to drive by this little place, which blossoms on lazy afternoons with children of all ages. This whole little part of Maryland is worth a weekend's exploring, and I'll see if I can put together enough reviews and a list to tie it all together. Hope a handful of you make it out here and get a soft serve, might just make your summer a little better. :) read more

The ice cream is a local legend, and justly so. It's really excellent. The "jimmies" are great. Every desert treat they offer is tasty and worth trying. On the other hand, the service is atrocious. The worst in town. It's almost always indifferent, careless teenagers who put zero (or less than zero) effort into getting your order correct, making correct change, etc. On more than one occasion they've been outright rude to people who were slow moving from the window, or slow to decide, etc. Ice cream is fantastic. Service is terrible. Worth a trip, but keep in mind it's essentially a teen hangout with teen staff. read more

A Maryland landmark! Best soft ice cream! A couple notes: all the seating is outdoor, lines can be long but it is totally worth it the wait and ask for "the mistake bag" Just writing this review makes me want to hop a plane to the East Coastand head straight to Jimmie Cone, of course it is probably closed... read more

And they're back.....:) Great ice cream...long lines in the summer. That's about the size of it. :) Some additional tidbits....first and third Saturdays in the summer are "Cruise nights" at the Mount Airy location, parking lot fills with classic cars all the way from Model T's to Prowlers and everything inbetween. Some cruise nights will have a dj spinning classic rock tunes as well. Parking can get crowded on these nights, but it's worth it if you have any appreciation for muscle cars and the like. I like to get a sundae with vanilla soft serve, hot fudge and peanut butter topping too. Next best thing to being on the boardwalk in OC... read more

Came here bases on reviews and I have to say this is my new favorite ice cream place. It is quite "hidden" in the ACE/food lion shopping plaza but it's not in the strip area but directly across from food lion at the end of the parking lot. There are lots of tables so no need to stand around. Also this seems like the hangout spot for kids so the lot is filled with them. I was a bit overwhelmed with the menu as it wasn't clear exactly what flavors they offered and there were all sorts of flyers on the glass booth with additional flavors, and since we were in line I didn't get a good chance to look af everything. So if this is your first time definitely step aside and look at the menu and all the flyers. Everything came out really fast. We got the black cherry soft serve which was a really nice texture and not overly sweet. Also got the mango water ice which was fantastic; it had a sorbet consistency and not too sweet. read more

She Said..."Jimmie Cone has been around forever and looks and tastes excatly the same. Soft serve ice cream with jimmies...yummm...they also have really yummy shakes and sundaes. Definatly come here if u want good desert." He Said..."Yea it was good..very creamy ice cream, but I couldn't tell the difference from McDonalds soft serve. I know they have been around forever but some bathrooms and a credit card machine wouldn't hurt." read more

Oh, my God, love Jimmy Cone. A classic place in the middle of nowhere, Montgomery County. Jimmy Cone has been a staple for young kids on a Friday night, middle school and high school dates for decades. The line never seems to end on weekend nights, their ice cream is awesome and their splits and blizzards and well pretty much everything is kick ass. If you are looking for a place to go to watch locals and see high schoolers squeal their '87 iRocZ out of the parking lot, this is the place to be. Great people watching. Jimmy cone is a must when traveling anywhere near there. i think they are closed in the winter. read more

Every bit as good as the original in Damascus, except the building lacks the character of the original. My review from Damascus stands true here. "Grew up eating Jimmie Cone for over 40 years, and have always loved it. But it took being a middle aged man with plenty of ice cream experience to truly appreciate just how good their ice cream is. It has a deep, rich flavor and this smooth, creamy texture that just begs to be savored. But you can't. With those jimmies all over it, you just can't help but gobble it down so fast that you almost get brain freeze! And then, you're just dying to get another one, but your conscience tells you that would be wrong. Stupid conscience!" read more
