It was a tough decision between ice cream and a milkshake. The shake won this time around but I'm sure I'll be back sometime soon for some ice cream. The are supposedly famous for their strawberry shakes so that's what I tried. According to the gal working the window, they use fresh strawberries which draws the attention of a lot of people. The shake was great but I will admit that the big strawberry chunks sometimes made it difficult to sip from the straw. Definitely hope to come back to try some ice cream though because they have some fun and unique flavors! read more

As you walk up, you'd think that this was just another ice cream shop. But, it's far from it! From the decoration to the ice cream. Everything is well thought over. We ordered the triple scoop in a cup. I wouldn't suggest doing that. We got two full scoops and 1/4 of a scoop. So, definitely get two scoops max. But, the ice cream was incredibly delicious! Everything is made in house. So, you get one of a kind flavors. Which, I loved. Coffee lovers-This ice cream was rich, dense, and decadent! It tasted like an Affogato. My mom savored every last nibble. Amareto Cherry-This ice cream was fun and flavorful. It was excellent! Unfortunately, all you could taste was the maraschino cherries. Which, made for a tasty treat. But, my dad was missing the amareto. Tennessee Toffee- This ice cream was creamy, dreamy, and delicious! I couldn't get enough of it. It was salty, sweet, and savory all in one bite! The toffee was luscious, smooth, and decadent. It was pure heaven. The ice cream was rich and velvety with strong notes of caramel, cocoa nibs, coffee, and most of all Tennessee whisky. But, not in an overpowering way. In, an artistic way. Pure joy in a scoop! So, if you're looking for a new ice cream shop. Come here! You won't regret it. read more

Perfect grab and go lunch spot with classic fast food style options. We took our meal to the beach, but there's seating available. Didn't try the ice cream, but it seemed very popular. read more

Quick service and great prices! I got a Chicago style hotdog, delish! My husband got a cheeseburger, delish! And we got milkshakes. My husband got the famous strawberry shake and we can see why it is famous. I got the coffee ice cream shake and it was so good. They have a great little patio to sit and eat. Loved it! read more

We kept seeing Nancy's on the way to the beach and knew we needed to stop by. The ice cream mural on the side of the building is so awesome and eye-catching! You walk up to order from the windows, and we picked up some Chicago dogs, a chocolate shake, and a cup of Unicorn Stars, which was a fun and colorful flavor featuring "sparkly glitter star candies and magical sprinkles," and it came with a fun color changing spoon! The staff was friendly and efficient, and there's a nice seating area just to the side of the building near some of the neighboring shops. Some are even under the overhang, so despite the fact that it had rained on the day of our visit, we had no problem finding dry seating. Cute place with a convenient location! read more

My kids wanted sorbet but I am a sucker for coffee ice cream in a waffle cone, so that's exactly what I planned to order. I double backed to Nancy's, unsure where or what to do... when I originally walked by, there wasn't anyone there, but now the line wrapped around the corner... however, the line did move pretty quickly and the man taking the orders was very chill and easy to take orders. I listened to him take small and large orders, from ice cream to lots of hot dogs!!! There's a cute little outdoor eating area w umbrellas for shade but this was too good not to share! read more

We went for ice cream, and enjoyed it! However, the ice cream was quite melty already when we got it.

Paddled from the Galien river put in to New Buffalo shore just passed the bridge, went to Nancy s for a Cheese burger. Good chance it was the best burger I've had in months. read more

Super cute little walk up ice cream shop in Downtown New Buffalo. We were just exploring and decided to try it on a whim and glad we did! It was so good! A little pricey but it was worth it! read more

The service was very poor. The fry's where hot that was a plus on top of the over priced food. For a tourist stop this is not a warm staff. read more

We loved the ice cream but the root beer float was sub par. Could've used a better quality root beer. Scoop size of ice cream is generous. Nice color changing straw. read more

Still delicious but the reason I'm taking a star away with them is because the portion size has gotten a lot less. And the prices went up as well. I understand small pricing increase but not quantity sizes. read more

I was underwhelmed by the experience as a whole. The menu lacks descriptions of what's in each item so you're not sure what you're ordering. Overall service was fast and the food was good! read more

Great ice cream. I had the chocolate peanut butter and it had Reese's peanut butter cups! Mini chocolate chip and cookie dough did not disappoint. Root beer float was also good. The thing that needs improvement is the wait. We waited quite some time for our order. Staff is nice. Picnic tables were clean. read more

This is a good lake front/beach ice cream/hot dog stand. We go here for lunch every time we're in new buffalo. The hot dogs and polish sausages are good. Fries and onion rings are good. The reason this restaurant gets 4 stars from me is the strawberry shake. It is delicious and has real chunks of strawberry in it. read more

The strawberry milkshake is one of the best things I've ever tasted. Don't skip Nancy's!

Great service- great ice cream! Workers were super patient with our kids placing orders and their root beer float- wonderful!

Very friendly, very fast, great service overall. Staff didn't let a large group cut in front of us while we waited in line.

Don't let the outside fool you, this was one of our FAVORITE stops in Michigan. After seeing major wait times at Stray Dog, we walked the strip and landed here, and couldn't have been happier with our decision. The shakes were DELICIOUS. The burgers - phenomenal. Don't sleep on Nancy's! read more

This was our first stop in New Buffalo and we were happy to find a pet friendly spot to grab a quick lunch. Milkshakes were great, food was OK. Kids chicken tender meals were pretty small. I had chili cheese dogs and totally expect the consistency of the chili to stay the same based on how my stomach feels, and my wife had the Italian beef that came out with just beef and no peppers. Price was too high for what we received. I would have expected a side with the Italian beef... Our food also sat on the counter and they didn't come out and call our name despite their being ample employees. I get it if that's not the policy but most of their seating is outside. read more

My strawberry shake was the bomb.com! The service was great: friendly staff, good music, short wait. I ordered a polish sausage and unfortunately the bun was stale :(. read more

It's a joint! Ice Cream and burgers, hot dogs, Italian beef, chicken sandwiches, fries & shakes. If you're looking for a spot to grab a quick bite with the kids after spending some time on the beach. Check this place out with picnic tables for outdoor dining and right in the heart of downtown New Buffalo. Have some patience with ordering, there's literally two high school buddies that run this joint. So tho food is decent, it can be a little bit of a wait after ordering. But with families the price is right. Food is good. Service exists solely to bring out ur food. After that it's all on the customer. Quick, conveniently located. read more

We visited here maybe 3-4 times. In our last visit they gave us the rudest treatment I have ever received anywhere in the world. They couldn't get 3 hotdogs out for more than half an hour. When we asked when we would get them the response we got was "the world doesn't revolve around you", "I don't care I'll give you your refund and you can leave". If they can't serve they should not be in business. We ended up getting a refund for the amount we paid minus the tip. They decided to keep the tip we left. read more

Manager or Owner was extremely rude to us when we asked if there was egg in the ice cream. We have an egg allergy in our family and sometimes the base has egg and other times it does not. Our youngest child missed out since they couldn't give us a clear answer after barking a response that was unclear. I'm not picky. I'm just trying to make safe choices for my daughter. Next time I'm in town we will go elsewhere. read more

If you wanna wait 30 minutes to order when two people are in front of you, then wait 30+ minutes for your food when there is hardly anyone here, then eat the most sub par food you've ever had. This place is for you!! Enjoy!! read more

5 stars because of the strawberry shake!!!! AMAZING! Tried the regular ice cream (cookie dough) and it was just alright, nothing too exciting. The strawberry shake though. Wow. So good. There's actual strawberry chunks in it and it's just so... YUM. read more

The food was decent, however the service was bad. The girl behind the counter was unfriendly and rude. We had a misunderstanding with our order and instead of handling it with class she came across as accusatory as if my eighty year old father intentionally ordered 1 fewer hotdogs. She actually asked to come out and look through the food and count everything. If you chose to eat there, hopefully you have a better experience. read more

Amazing shakes with too many flavors to choose. We stopped for a quick bite, and it is totally worth the stop.

My kids love this shop and me and husband are forced to go here every time. My kids favorite flovors are superman and bluemoon and I personally LOVE their strawberry milkshake! Overall i am very satisfied with the service and treats! :) read more

Perfect location, delicious ice cream, and great outdoor seating. I had the caramel turtle cheesecake ice cream, and HIGHLY recommend it. Delicious. If you are looking for delicious ice cream in a beautiful town, this is your place! read more

So many great flavors! Fast service and prices were reasonable. Took off two stars because of all the off-work employees hanging around gave it a creepy vibe as the male owner/manager flirted with them. read more

Had a delicious Swiss and Mushroom burger and Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. Ice Cream served a is Local Michigan Brand. NOT sure why during a busy summer weekend you'd close and serve only ice cream after nine. read more

I hover between a 3 and a 4... We all came here for the ice cream, but they sell other stuff as well. Ice cream was pretty decent, and sizable portions especially if you got the waffle cones. Here are my comments/tips: - I thought a single scoop on a sugar cone was kind of pricy ($3.70 w/tax)-is that the going rate for ice cream these days...?? but they did give a decent amount of ice cream. - No bathrooms for public use here. You gotta look elsewhere. - Indoor and outdoor seating is available. - Sell a wide variety of ice cream flavors among other eats here, and it's a popular spot on a warm sunny day, so be prepared to wait in line. - People are pretty friendly. - I thought the ice cream was pretty decent. read more

We were so excited to try the famous strawberry milkshake, however the hours were not accurate. The hours stated that they were open until 10 but when we showed up at 9:50, the place was closed. read more

So disappointed with this store's ice cream. Flavors seem like they are changed. I and my family used to be their loyal customers every summer, but this year the ice creams' taste are too sweet and full of an artificiality.... the taste is just like ice creams at fast food stores. Customer service is rude. The lady at the cashier who took our orders looked at us with an angry and tired face when my sister asked to try one flavor on the menu... All 5 orders are too bad.... read more

My family & I went to Nancy's last night and let me just say, I'm disgusted. I don't know what's worse.. the customer service or the ice cream? The staff was completely utterly rude for no apparent reason at all. It also took about 30 minutes for a line of 10 people, and no employee even apologized. That's just unacceptable. As far as the ice cream.. wow. In a bad way. My ice cream was COMPLETELY freezer burnt, along with my mom's. I bet it has been sitting in the freezer for 5+ years, it tasted horrible. We threw it in the trash after one bite. Bottom line: don't support this trashy business, go to Oinks down the road. read more

This place was very average. Food was not good at all especially for the price, and the bbq was the worst bbq I've ever had. The ice cream was amazing tho. Overall I would skip out on the food and get the ice cream. read more
