    Bubble
    Catrina R.

    I was visiting from out of town and was taken here as a surprise and oh man. What an amazing experience! This place is old school diner-like. Makes you think of older times and honestly makes you really crave ice cream. When we got there I was told I have to get the Bubble. It's ice cream, chocolate sauce, marshmallow, and roasted peanuts. Guys. GUYS. Game changer. Literally a 12/10. The marshmallow and the peanuts are the real stars here. You know the best part of a Reese's? That bite you get in the middle of just pure peanut butter bliss? That's this. The ice cream and chocolate are the perfect palette helpers here but man that peanut butter marshmallow combo is where it's at! Loved it so much spoke about it for a year and made it a "we need to go there again" on my list of things to do in Ohio. Both times I've been here the staff has been absolutely lovely. Parking was easy. Street parking is available. Will talk about this dessert randomly in the near future or until I get another one (was told they can ship these ingredients for you to make your own!!!)

    A bubble. So help me, a bubble!

    I heard rumors about this place for years. "You have to go there and have a bubble," they'd decree. What the hell is a bubble? It turns out that it is an ice cream concoction for the ages. Now let's be clear...this place has all the hallmarks of a small town lunch counter. Stools along a high-topped counter with lots of woodwork, stand mixers, hand-pump dispensers for things like hot fudge, etc. George Bailey may have cooked up his schemes to get out of Bedford Falls here. But this place has so much more. Fresh roasted peanuts. Fresh ground peanuts for the ice creams. Locally made sodas from Gem Bottling like Ski. And they have the vaunted "Jackson veal," though down the road it will be called Wellston veal. Candies and t-shirts are in here for us touristy types. In any event, the bubble: an ice cream delight served up in a sundae glass. You can get it to go, but don't, unless you have one at the counter and then have another in the car. The treat is made with some chocolate, some peanuts, some marshmallow cream, some ice cream, and a requirement that too much is served to fit into the glass. The long handled spoon will not stop you from making a mess. Eat well. Worth noting...pizza, hot dogs, and other sandwiches are available. Also worth noting, no matter what you do in Jackson, Ohio, you must go to this place so that it will be around for another century or so. So good. So very, very good.

    The whole time I lived in Athens, people would tell me I needed to drive to Jackson to try a "Bubble" at Michael's Ice Cream Shop. I never made the time, but on my way home today I decided to take a break from driving and stop by. HOLY ICE CREAM LOVER!!! I felt transported back in time to a cute 50s soda shoppe. The wonderful staff recommended the traditional "bubble" (see picture below). Delicious is an understatement! Definitely going to be making return trips

    Seriously, get the Bubble. Its ice cream (you pick the flavor), chocolate syrup, chopped nuts and marshmallow (syrup consistency). So delicious. Regular size is about 2 scoops of ice cream. Perfect size for one adult. We live out of town. I will not be able to drive past Jackson without stopping (or at least thinking about) Michael's Ice Cream Shop and the Bubble. Also their peanuts are roasted at the store. Could not leave without buying some to take home. The Bubble, did I already say delicious!

    A Michael's Bubble is a must have while visiting Jackson County.

    Best hand dipped ice cream I've had in a long time. Large generous scoops. Great chocolate dipped cones.

    It's a sad day when the gas station right down the road offers better customer service, better…read morepizza, at better prices, than Giovanni's. Oh, and the gas station also allows you to go into their store - something this Giovanni's no longer allows. In my opinion, the Covid-19 Pandemic revealed two different types of people running service businesses: 1. Those who almost gleefully celebrated the pandemic as an opportunity to offer their customers less, to lower their standards, eliminate services, make everything easier for themselves at the cost of making things worse for the customer, and 2. Those who came back stronger than ever, excited to not only continue their services, but to improve them. This Giovanni's is a disgrace and leads the pack in terms of businesses who fit into the first category. They are still operating, right now, many years after the 2020 pandemic, as if they are still in the midst of a worldwide shutdown. They have never returned to in-store service or dining, the building sits there looking like some post-apocalyptic, sad, abandoned shell of a business. My family has sworn them off, and we've become loyal customers to many other pizza places in town, including the gas station right down the street.

    Use to love stopping in when I was down that way . Covid hit an no more dining in, I guess they…read moredon't make enough money by hiring a person to take care of the inside.
