I came to Lickity Split Cafe on a recommendation to try their Olive Burger, green olives and Mayo, so I was curious, it was good!!! They had a big sign over the counter, "Because Nice Matters". Good advice in the world today! And they were very nice. Good family style diner! read more

Yum yum yum! Any place that sells Butter Pecan will get rave reviews from me! They do have social distancing measures in place such as "one way in, one way out" and every other table is off limits. Staff were friendly and tended to us immediately. Great experience :-) read more

After a visit to this place one phrase is bound to escape your lips, "The diet starts tomorrow." No, seriously. In less than a week spent in sunny warm luscious Florida I made it to this location twice ::hangs head in shame:: The first time we ended up here it was for lunch and a chilly ice cream treat to go (err.. "to split?"). We slid ourselves into the old school Chevrolet inspired booths while admiring the movie memorabilia abound. Our server was an older gentleman who was probably the most efficient waiter I have ever encountered. He spoke quickly and gave great suggestions, no bs. A few groups had arrived in advance of our arrival, but we still didn't wait long. I went for the chef salad - because I KNEW ice cream was in my future. It was decent. Straight forward and not too pricey, but not too special either. It was pretty much shredded iceberg lettuce, ham, turkey, tomato, hard boiled egg, onion, cheddar cheese, and peppers, which I picked off. To top off the meal I had a "single" scoop in a cup to go. Note: on the singles they will do two flavors, truly the best policy for any hand dip ice cream joint worth their snot. I asked the age old question, "Umm.. what is in the Manatee Poop?" (yes, they have an ice cream called Manatee Poop) and I was informed it was simply vanilla ice cream with malted milk balls and some food coloring, thus satisfying my need to act like a child and have ice cream that dyes my lips blue and my adult need to have ice cream that actually tastes delicious. For my 2nd flavor I decided on Oreo. The whole thing was De-LickitySplit-Ish! All of their ice creams are made on site and you can tell due to their fresh flavor and scrumptibility. (For the record, I know I'm making up words) On my last night in town I requested a dessert encore and didn't venture from the first ice cream concoction. Why mess with perfection, anyway? I'm giving LSC 5 stars, though their lunch options are really more of a 3-4. However, the quality of the ice cream, the reasonable prices and staff bump them up to the next level. One suggestion for the establishment is to add a tip jar to the front counter for the staff who do a great job and deserve a little summthin'sumthin extra while they work out their arm muscles scoopin' all that ice cream. read more

Ok so I'd give them a 4.5 if I could. So 4 it is. I've been here many times and love all the flavors up until today! I had the peanut butter cup today and it didn't taste much like it.

Took the Kids for ice cream last night. Got the chocolate chip and was very disappointed. It was like eating ice cream that was old in the freezer for a long time. They must not be selling enough to be fresh for everyone who gets it. Maybe keeping it cover when they are closed at night would help. Never had that happen in the past with theses guys. read more

I used to consider this a great place to go for a quick and very good lunch. Unfortunately things have changed. I have gone 3 different times recently and the service was terrible all three times. Today I was one of only of three tables, and it took 10 to 12 minutes before I got a menu and I immediately ordered before the waitress could get away. While waiting for my order I saw 2 young ladies come in and after never receiving notice from a waitress they left. When I did get my food, it was only fair. Nothing like it used to be. In addition, while I was there the older waitress spent her time constantly talking very loud apparently to friends in one of the booths. They could have been across the street and heard her. And it was constant. As I said, I used to love this cafe, but they have seen me for the last time. read more
