    A friend recommended this place for great ice cream. Well worth going. Portions huge, should have gotten small size. Delicious chocolate lovers sundae. My wife got monkey in the middle. Will try their hard ice cream next time.

    We went here because another local place closed early and MA's is open until 8. It's a cute place next to a church that looks like it used just to be a regular house. It has fun colors inside that feel very ice cream shop-like. They have an extensive menu, including hard ice cream, sundaes, and "twists" (like Blizzards). Since it was my first time, I didn't know what to go for, so I asked the person taking our order. She was nice and helped me pick salted caramel chocolate-covered pretzel. It's a mouthful to say and a mouthful to eat! I initially asked for a large, but my girlfriend said, "no way, it's way too big" to which I replied, "I'm pretty big" (I'm 6'1"). So I compromised with a medium, and it's HUGE!! I could tell the ice cream itself was well made because it was so tasty, and the toppings made it a home-run.

    I read about this place in my local flyer and decided to check it out. Finding no website I was able to track it down on Facebook and off I went. The store is inside a charming house with outdoor benches and a gazebo to unwind in. As far as indoor seating is concerned there is only a small bench. The sell both hard and soft ice cream along with your traditional fare. I saw they are known for their banana splits but was blown away at the size you get. They accept cash only and if you want a cone it has to be a cake cone since someone was turned away for a sugar cone. I got there when it opened at 2 and believe me this place was jammed pack in no time! The hard ice cream they sell is from Galiker's. Although it is not made in house it is served in huge portions. When my turn came she told me the smallest size they had was a mini kids cone which is what I should have gone with. A kid's cone is one generous scoop. I decided to go with the raspberry truffle flavor and for $3.50 I must have ended up with a whole pint of it in my cup! There were at least 4 generous scoops! I was really afraid that it would melt in the hot summer heat but since they had just pulled it from their freezer it didn't melt as fast as I thought. What store bought ice cream lacks in quality it surely makes up in quantity. The ice cream was indeed very good but really no much different than you would get in a grocery store or average ice cream stand. Still for the price you can't go wrong. I also noticed that they have changed their hours to include afternoons now that school's out for the summer. Located in the quaint little town of McDonald, PA this ice cream store is top notch for quantity at a very low price! I am hoping to return with a friend so that we can tackle a banana split together! I didn't get to see the size of their Sundaes but I'm sure that are huge and very reasonably priced.

    If I could rate a 0 I would. I've seen them mistreat their employees and yell at them. Plus the icecream melts too fast. Disgusting. 0/10.

    While in the area and looking for a place to get ice cream, I discovered this place online. I had…read morenever been before, and never heard of it as I am not from this side of Pittsburgh! My visit was on a Saturday night in May around 9:30 PM. It was not crowded at all, as we were one of a few groups there at the time. Plenty of seating options both inside and out, and we had no issue finding seating that worked for us. There was no line to order, so after taking a minute or two to look over the menu, I went to put in the order. The girls working the counter were very personable and helpful. They let me sample a few of the flavors, and were engaging in conversation with all of the customers when waiting on them. The shop had a bigger menu with some food items like pizza, appetizers, salads, and more, but we did not try any on this trip. It would be a one-stop shop for dinner and dessert to come here and eat from both the food menu and then the ice cream menu. We ordered two of the Specialty Sundaes - the Chocolate Chip Cookie and the Greek Style. Both are served with vanilla soft serve. I believe you can switch that out for a different flavor or type, but we stuck with the vanilla. The sundaes were not bad, but they were very average. The price of these were both $7.99 each before tax, and I would have thought they would be a little bigger. On the Greek Style, the baklava was in pieces crumbled over the top as opposed to a larger, singular piece. The cookie on the Chocolate Chip Cookie Sundae was not an oversized one that usually comes on sundaes like that at other shops. I am not sure what kind it was, but it appeared to be something mass produced, almost like a Chips Ahoy. Again, they were not bad, but for the price and the fact that they were on the Specialty Sundae menu, I would have expected more than what we got. I thought the prices here were high for the quality and quantity of the items. I am not sure if the value was there for the prices, but I would have to determine that after visiting another time or two to see if it was a one-off or if that is how it is for everything. I enjoyed getting to try this place. It has a good atmosphere, and is probably a lively place in the summertime and when the weather is nice. I would be interested to try more of the menu on a return trip. I am not sure if I would recommend the Speciality Sundaes, but the hard ice creams that I sampled were good and worth getting if you are stopping here!

    This is the worst burger I've ever eaten! I bite into it and it was pink they don't know how to…read morecook a burger. I asked for a vanilla milkshake and they gave me a chocolate milkshake!!! This place sucks !!! I use to love this place but not anymore!!!! Not worth the money or the trip!!!! I am never coming back here again!!! The burgers are rubbish!!!
