Stopped in for my favorite Royal burger and fries. Both were sub-par…read more A magnifying glass was needed to find the tomato on the sandwich and the burger patties were dry and over-cooked. What tomato I received was definitely not fresh. It tasted like it was cut the day before, refrigerated overnight and then reused the following day. Not much Royal sauce on the sandwich. The French fries had something all over them, possibly from the deep fryer oil. There was something inedible in them that tasted like fish; super hard and nasty. Might have been a small portion of the fishtail that fell off in the fryer that ended up being cooked over and over. Leads me to believe that they do not strain/sieve their deep fryer throughout the day to eliminate debris, but they will sell that to you. Didn't have this issue with the prior owners. Explains why they do not have the slamming business that the Twist n' Shake had.

| Johnson's Real Ice Cream - New Albany, OH 160 W Main St,…read moreNew Albany, OH 43054 Visited: Aug 3, 2025 | Takeout -- What we ordered: * Jr. Scoop (Butterscotch Toffee) - Sugar Cone - $4.25 * Single Scoop split 1/2 Butter Pecan + 1/2 Butterscotch Toffee - Sugar Cone - $4.75 We asked for cups on the side -- these were two-handed cones, no question. -- Flavor notes: * Butterscotch Toffee: Buttery, smooth, with soft bits of toffee that didn't overtake the bite * Butter Pecan: Heavier on the pecans than the flavor. The base leaned a little plain -- almost watery in taste -- but it was full of nuts and held texture well. Melt-wise, it held up just long enough to enjoy without rushing -- not that artificial stuff that sits like wax, but not soft-serve-level meltdown either. You've got a comfortable few minutes before it starts sliding. -- Total: $10.98 (with tip) -- Quick info: * Wait time: 5-10 min * Parking: 1-hour signs closest to storefront; rest of the lot is unmarked and free * Seating: benches + brick ledge outside * Noise: chill, steady foot traffic * Accessibility: Yes * Allergy info: clearly posted * Dairy-free: Yes (coconut-based and sorbet) -- Would I come back? Absolutely. The ice cream was good, the scoops were serious, and the side cup wasn't extra -- but it was essential.

The cow on top of the building is a good tip-off that this will be a fun place. We each ordered a couple of scoops to try two different flavors, and we both loved our selections! The patio that separates the parking lot and the indoor shop is very nice and well-maintained. The picturesque windows leading into the shop make the place feel welcoming. There's plenty of parking in their gravel lot. It is clearly a place for local families to hang out on Friday evening, so we felt right at home.

Service is actually the SLOWEST I have had for ice cream. You would've thought they were hand making it themselves back there in real time. I got the blueberry pie and moose tracks flavor. This is considered a single scoop, but I was able to get up to 2 flavors with it a toppings if I wanted to add, but didn't. I could have also customized it into a sundae. I won't be back, but I wish them the best. This made me a bit sad considering I live in Powell, my parents live down the street and Delaware and my sister's family with a 5 and 8 year old nephew in Delaware as well. This could have been a top place with the family. Not a lot of flavors. Farm house style seating, you will be sitting outside. Nothing special or cute. No decorations. Just an old farmhouse.

Staff: The employees were very kind and kept talking about how muscular and tall I was and asked me for tips. Very fun conversations. Service was great and our orders were delivered perfectly. Mom almost died last year from stage 4 cancer, but we healed her with conspiracy medicine. Now since cancer she gets confused sometimes and had us sitting in the reserved seating, and the staff did not ask us to move. Very friendly which is typical for country Ohio people, love it. 5 stars. Food: Parents ordered ice cream and I ordered a shake. All three of us enjoyed our orders. 4.5 stars. Ambiance: Volume is not too loud and conversation inside is easy, but if you sit at the outdoor tables the live music was too loud and hard to hear conversations. Indoor has air conditioning and about 15 tables for sitting. Outdoor has 7 tables for sitting. This location also has a shelter house for events and a pond and restrooms. 4 stars. Overall: This is a great place to come on a weekend and get ice cream with family, dates, or friends. I can imagine someday taking my friends from Ohio (and other states) to eat, then driving here for ice cream.. fun Ohio getaway weekend. (4+5+4.5+4)/4 = 4.375 stars.
