    CASH ONLY (NO CARDS)
    Tom T.

    CASH ONLY CASH ONLY No going inside. Walk up and drive through only. Very small parking lot. I ordered a jumbo cheese burger and onion rings. I'm not a light eater but also not a heavy eater I tell you this to tell you this the jumbo is basically a regular size but the meat is thin so I wish I had ordered a double, but good flavor and burger. The onion rings where also good. I will try more things later. I added a pic of the menu.

    It may not look like much, but Mel's is a great choice for an old-fashioned hamburger with gooey cheese and incredible onion rings.

    Only does cash, join the 21st century, very mediocre food and ice cream. I guess that's what you get in Malvern, AR

    Never gotten to visit one of their brick and mortar places. I have just always picked it up in…read morelocations that carry their product, but this place is a gem! Such a perfect location for a local ice cream joint! Plenty of parking, lots of seating, and lots of excellent flavor choices. We stopped in on a Saturday evening and the place was packed! I asked a local if there was something special going on or if it's normally this busy, and they said everyone loves this place so it's usually pretty busy. The lighting in this place doesn't do it justice, because they have bright colorful walls w/fun shapes and designs on them. Just gives you a fun vibe when you walk in. They have tables inside and out, and as busy as they were there were plenty of tables available. It was so busy I didn't want to bother the staff or slow things down by sampling anything, but I was honestly there for 1 reason & 1 goal which was to sink my teeth into their season flavor The Mighty Peach! My fav dessert in the world is Key Lime Pie & they had that as well, so it made for an easy choice for me. I went w/both in a house made waffle cone! The Key Lime Pie may be one of the greatest ice creams I have ever had! Keep in mind I am a die hard Key Lime fan, so if you aren't hooked on that as much as me you might not think it's a big deal. Thats why favorites are subjective! We don't all eat the same things w/the same passion for them. The Mighty Peach is a rock star! Made w/fresh Arkansas peaches and it's so incredible. No matter where you can grab their stuff, just do it! But if you are close to one of their 3 brick & mortar joints stop in and check em out! Staff were wonderful and fast! Always enjoy checking out local ice cream joints, and I hope you do too!

    I love Loblolly Creamery. If you are in Benton and want great ice cream, this place is a must…read more The ice cream is made in small batches and the flavors are always creative and delicious. The pricing is also very reasonable. A kids scoop is $4 and a small, which includes two scoops, is only $6. For the quality you get, that is a great value. This spot is also very kid friendly. There is a really nice outdoor seating area out back where families can sit and enjoy their ice cream. It makes it easy to relax while the kids enjoy their treat. Great ice cream, fair prices, and a fun atmosphere. I will definitely keep coming back.

The space is adorable, the staff was super helpful and the whole vibe just feels homey & intentional in the best way. But they really had me the second I saw ice cream flight on the menu. Like... what?! Anyways, there was zero chance I was picking just one flavor so I went with the 6-flavor flight (they also offer a 12-flavor option!) Here's what I got: Strawberry Buttermilk- a little tangy w/ the perfect amount of sweet Honey Lavender- light floral without going full soap Bourbon Pecan- loved this one! rich, creamy, perfect Churro Cheesecake- obsessed with the pieces of cheesecake in this one! Guava Sorbet - y'all. MY FAVORITE. Refreshing guava heaven Tiramisu- a coffee-forward mocha-ey vibe Every flavor was distinct and crafted with care . Def not your typical grocery store flavors. If you're in Little Rock, especially near SoMa, do not walk past this place. Stop in & get the flight!
