The ice cream bar is in the back of the store. The selection was very creative. I had a scoop of something that sounded strange but tasted delicious. The lady behind the counter was very nice and helpful. There's limited seating but it's available. Most of the store is well stocked with a nice selection of outdoor clothing and accessories. I loved the section offering unique hand crafted bowls, boxes and other tableware. Some appeared to be from local artisans. It's a great little shop to visit when you are in the area.

You can tell this is a locally owned business that puts a lot of heart into everything they do!! We will definitely be going back again soon!!

I've visited this location several times before and have always had a good experience, which is why…read morethis visit was so disappointing. I ordered a milkshake, and when I received it, it was basically chocolate milk...very thin and lacking the thick, creamy consistency you'd expect from a milkshake. To make matters worse, I had to have it remade because the wrong ice cream was used the first time. I also noticed that the employee preparing my milkshake wasn't wearing gloves either time it was made, which was concerning from a food-handling standpoint. The service overall wasn't very friendly or attentive, and it just wasn't the level of service I've come to expect from this location. The one positive thing I can say is that the restaurant itself was very clean and well-maintained. I've come here multiple times and have never had an experience this bad before. I'm hoping this was just an off day because I've enjoyed my previous visits, but this visit was definitely disappointing.

It's got the same vibe it's had for the last 30 years. Plenty of seating in their two dining rooms, with both booths and tables available. They have dinner plates, quick lunch foods, scrumptious desserts, and ice cream! The owner is always around joking and chatting with everyone and offers free ice cream for the kiddos, which we greatly appreciate! I love to stop in, even if only for ice cream. They have a great Hot Fudge Cake. There are video games in the one dining room so something for kids to do if you're willing to give them a dollar or two to blow while you wait. There is one comical thing about this place, though. The women's bathroom. It's clean and all, but if you know, you know. It cracks me up every time I go in there.

First, I just want to say the employees are the kindest people ever. You can tell they love their business, and it just made me want to keep supporting them! Luckily, they have an incredibly scrumptious product to support. The sundaes - WOW. All I can say is wow It was just so tasty. The ice cream is phenomenal. So many toppings!! I can't wait until I get to go again. I was also very impressed by their outdoor space. Very family friendly with toys and lots of places to sit. A top place in the Triad!

We ended up waiting about 30 minutes. They had decorated the outside with Harry Potter-themed decorations, which made the wait more enjoyable. It was fun looking at everything while we were in line. I was originally planning to order something from their regular menu but since they still had their Harry Potter-themed sundaes, I decided to try the Butterbeer Sundae (with a light amount of whipped cream). It was really good! My son ordered the Bailey Banana and he really enjoyed it as well.

Anyhow, I found myself here after a hot day of golf outside of town, and this was the perfect place to please everyone, get a cold drink, and something tasty to eat. Beverage wise, I was too dehydrated to jump into beer, so I just pounded a bunch of water while there. Food wise however, we had lots of tasty things. The hot chips app that comes drizzled with bbq sauce and ranch is better than it sounds, though I preferred the pickle chips for sure. To me, the star here were the wings. They were nice and large, plump with plenty of meat. I had a korean sauce and a hot honey sauce and thoroughly enjoyed all 10. Maybe even had a leftover drummy or two from some of my companions. Would come back here for more casual eats and drinks again!

The draft list was only accessible by scanning the QR code. Not normally an issue for me but it was a little annoying since my cell service wasn't great in this area. I finally got it to pull up and asked for the Angry Troll PB Porter (I forget the name), the waiter asked if I wanted a sample first and I was so happy he did because it was not very peanut buttery to me. I decided to try a can of Docs: Pumpkin cider which ended up being a MUCH better choice for me. It was delicious. We started with some cheese curds as an appetizer. The kids split a kids cheese pizza (it comes with fries) and my bestie and I split a Philly Cheesesteak pizza. The cheese curds were amazing! I didn't try the kids pizza although the fries seemed a little over seasoned, especially since they were served to kids. My Philly pizza was not great though. The primary taste was banana peppers. Not meat, not cheese...the vinegar-y, sour taste of banana peppers. I was not a fan. Then the bill comes....I guess I should have asked for the price of the cider (NONE of the beer has a price listed.) My CAN of Doc's cider was $9.50. Not sure if that's normal in this area but in Durham, that can would have only been $6 (MAYBE $7.) TLDR; service - good, drinks - expensive, food - hit or miss.

This ice cream is regionally prominent, but the source is here. It's a building that is a ways off…read morethe highway, but was nonetheless busy on the midweek afternoon I stopped by. Their hours are not very late, and I imagine there aren't a ton of passersby after dark but it's a little puzzling to me that they're not open at least until the evening in summer. The ice cream flavor selection is considerable. Given the setting, this is not a place you'd go for non-dairy frozen desserts, it is definitely ice cream. Their peanut butter cup flavor hit the spot for me. A seasonal raspberry truffle didn't quite; the raspberry flavor was strong, but there were some ice crystals and overall textural unevenness and the chocolate truffles were not present in sufficient numbers for my liking. There is also a store which houses a small amount of produce and other fresh and preserved items, as well as a deli counter with some prepared food. I didn't find a ton of interest outside of the ice cream I came for.
