While visiting my sister in Ironton I decided to take my niece for food & ice cream at The Shakery…read more When I come into town I always see a line of people and after having stopped in and ate I now know why. The Shakery is a cool "Mom & Pops" eater with a plethora of sweet treats. There is a place to stand and order outside, a drive thru, outside seating and indoor seating. You will see people of all ages. It's really nostalgic. The environment is nice & clean. Staff is friendly and I must say they did an excellent job for as busy as they were. There sweet treats vary from classic shakes to "blizzard-like" shakes, sundaes, specialty shakes, banana splits & slushies. I chose a peanut butter shake which was so creamy and full of peanut butter flavor. SO GOOD!!!!!! Perfect consistency for dipping my French fries in. Yea...I'm one of those lol. Scarlett chose a cherry slushie. You will get your sweet treats before your food. I ordered a hamburger and she got a kids grilled cheese and fries. The kids portion is a full size cheese sandwich btw. We enjoyed our time at the Shakery. The food is made to Order so don't expect drive-thru mentality. It's worth the wait I promise.

It's frustrating to walk in and see employees like Carly on their phones instead of assisting customers. The contrast in work ethic is very noticeable. I'd love to visit more often, but the inconsistent service makes it hit-or-miss.

How have I not reviewed this place?…read more I want to say my first visit here was in 2016. At the time I lived in Columbus and was in the Ironton/Portsmouth area to see family and had randomly found this spot when they were located downtown. Over the years I had visited and found some awesome horror items, comics, and vintage toys. It's been a few years since I've been in as I now live 4.5 hours away compared to 2.5, but was in the area on Wednesday. I had stopped in and browsed but finally tried the ice cream. I had a Wookies n Cream shake and my wife had a BB Cake cone. The punny names work well with the shop and the flavors were good. The only strike was the straw for the shake was an Icee straw vs a regular one. Staff was friendly and prices were very fair from toys & comics. Definitely a place I try to visit when I'm in the area.

The food was so good, it definitely felt like eating something your grandparents would fry you up. Real Kentuckian styled food here. I could tell it was made with love. Our server, Thea, was an absolute doll. She was attentive and so friendly. I tipped her over 50%. When I'm back in the area, I'll definitely be coming again. The ambiance was lovely. Nothing fancy, but felt homey. Don't let this strip mall restaurant scare ya away, it was a true delight!

Me and a fellow server was drowning on the floor and the owners wouldn't get off their butts to come help and run the register or do anything to help us. If you don't suck the mangers big toe you can't get anywhere there. Not to mention the other servers are all rude and sneaky and try to get ya in trouble. Which is easy to do because they don't train anyone properly. Then after they fired me the owner Denise called me a cunt.

After being picked up from the airport my parents and I stopped in for lunch. I had not been to a…read moreFricsh's Big Boy since I was a child. I ordered the Original Big Boy burger, a salad from the salad bar and shared a hot fudge cake with Dad. The burger included homemade tartar sauce, lettuce and pickles. However, when I checked the sandwich there was only one pickle lol. So I requested extra pickles. The burger was hot and tasty. The salad bar was almost out of lettuce when I made my salad. And there was no ranch dressing so I had to ask for it to be restocked. The cucumbers didn't look good so I avoided those. But the rest of the veggies looked fresh. The hot fudge cake was the best thing I ate. It had a layer of ice cream between two pieces of cake topped with hot fudge, whipped cream and a cherry. The hot fudge put it over the edge. I'm glad I shared it with my Dad because it was pretty rich and I would not have been able to eat a whole piece. Our server was friendly and fairly attentive.

The onion rings were especially good, they were crispy and the onion was perfectly soft. We shared a strawberry shortcake sundae and the peach sundae. They were very tasty. The soft serve is very smooth, creamy, and sweet. I would highly recommend coming here, and look forward to coming back!
