Amaretto ice cream in a waffle cone
Cilicia L.

This was a nostalgia trip. The first time I ever had Marble Slab ice cream was in Galveston with my then boyfriend who became my husband. Amaretto is my favorite flavor, but I hadn't had it in years because I am lactose intolerant. I also haven't had a waffle cone in years because of a wheat intolerance. But I was visiting Galveston for a college reunion, and missing my now late husband, so a trip to Marble Slab seemed appropriate. The store has expanded and now houses a Great American Cookie Company counter as well. The place is brightly lit and very clean. I tried the amaretto and another flavor, and decided to get my old favorite in a classic waffle cone. I sat at a table inside and enjoyed my delicious ice cream while reminiscing about the past. This Marble Slab will always have a special place in my heart.

We are so excited to have a Great American Cookie Company on the island!! A fast and yummy way to get a personalized treat!

This marble slab is clean, well-stocked & has such friendly owners who are eager to help. Will be back every time we are in Galveston.

As soon as we walked out the marble slab our ice cream cones were already completely melted. as soon as i got to our car my red velvet was already dripping everywhere and all over my boyfriends shoes. the marble slab was so hot inside im sure that's the reason why. we had to run back inside and grab a cup instead and it dripped all over the marble slab floors. 1/10 experience if i wanted melted ice cream i would drink milk

Love their icecream options. Young ladies working the counter were nice and timely in getting our orders out. Recommend this place if you need a break from the sun. Today's visit, restroom was out of order.

10:16 pm on a Saturday 10/29 we come to grab ice cream after a late softball game and the young guy and girl in the store have the door locked and they are cleaning. So they are closing 45 minutes early and laughing amongst each other and then run and hide in the back! Not acceptable business practice! Only giving 1 star because it won't let me give none!

turtle cake is the best ice cream cake! Always pre-order to make sure it is available. We love their ice cream and their cakes!

Fantastic if you like to drink your ice cream... 87° in the store. Everything we bought was melted before we got to the car.

There were so many delicious options to choose from, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We originally came because we had watched Restoring Galveston and saw the episode where they restored this beautiful historic building. We made it into town early enough to stop by, and we're so glad we did! It was such a fun experience, and the restored building made it even more special. We would definitely recommend stopping in if you're visiting Galveston!

This place serves what they call rolled ice cream. i've never had it before, but it was fun…read morewatching them prepared and essentially they pour cream over a really cold griddle that they then move around and mix in whatever you want on it and when they scrape it up, it comes in little rolls before they put it into the cup. I got one of their specials in honor of Mardi Gras: the king cake rolled ice cream. This came with bits of king cake in it as well as a vanilla base along with some additional things. I think it's a bit pricey, but this place does make for a fun treat occasionally, and there are lots of options and combos of what you could put into your ice cream. It's not a very large place, but there's plenty of places to sit both at tables and at the countertop while you watch them roll the ice cream.

I got a t-shirt too that I wore for years until it was ultimately retired. I actually wrote a Yelp review about it that I deleted. In it, I said "The smell of the waffle cones filled the place with smiles and enjoyment. I knew I wanted a waffle cone." What a terrible critic. He will never be Yelp Elite. I haven't been back to Hey Mikey's since then, just because I haven't really been back to Galveston in some time, but my memories of the unique ice cream flavors and toppings remained. Heading back to Galveston for a cruise, I wanted to try and make a stop there again for nostalgia's sake. Instead of heading to the Airbnb, my girlfriend and I drove straight to Hey Mikey's as our first stop in Galveston. We got there around 8:45 pm, which was 15 minutes before they closed (our fault). This is no diss to Hey Mikey's, but almost everything else on The Strand on a Thursday night closes way too early, so it felt like everyone was at Hey Mikey's. The line was extensive in front of us and behind us even after it closed. After waiting through the line for quite some time, I got a waffle cone with their cereal milk ice cream, which had Fruity Pebbles in it, topped with Lucky Charms. They gave it to me with a temperature-changing plastic spoon that turned from yellow to purple when cold. The ice cream was sensational. What an incredible flavor. The only downside was the waffle cone being a little stale, but I fault that to it being a waffle cone ordered right at closing time. The next night, I returned with my cousins and ordered a cup of cereal milk ice cream with Cocoa Puffs as the topping instead. Fantastic stuff. Once again, being there too close to closing meant we had to wait, and we didn't get our ice cream until 9:30, a full 30 minutes after they closed. It was nice that they still served us though! One thing I did notice, which I don't know if it's a normal thing, is that since Hey Mikey's is the only ice cream shop open past 8 o'clock on most weeknights, they seem to get a lot of foot traffic after that time. Their menu is pretty large in its offerings. If it were just scoops of ice cream, the line would move fast, but so many people were ordering shakes, which are a lot more labor-intensive and removed a staff member from their assembly line to focus on the shake. I don't have any advice on how they could easily move the line in the later hours of the night, but man, those kids are working their butts off for everyone to get their late-night sweet treat. Hey Mikey's, you are just as good as I remember.

It felt kind of cluttered. I expect they must have a patio setup on nicer days, but on this day all that equipment was taking up all the space right inside the front entrance. I'm not much on sweets. I can be talked into an interesting cookie, but this was not the place I expected and I don't think they sold cookies or interesting milk flavors from what I could tell. They do sell sketchy looking hot dogs and pizza. I'm not sure who orders that. It seems like they specialize in ice cream. I tried one flavor and it was pretty sweet for me. I'm not much on sweets so that's not hard to do for me. I stood around letting my wife pick her flavor. I would have waited outside given how cramped the space felt, but it was pouring rain. My wife mentioned the place has artwork and stuff. I didn't see that and didn't know to expect it. I also heard there is a wine bar somewhere on the premise. I may have to come back and give that a try.
