100 YEARS OF SCOOPING ICE CREAM!…read more
It's absolutely amazing that a local Mom & Pop has served Homemade ice cream for ONE HUNDRED years! Gotta mean someone has created delicious recipes that keeps people coming back time & time again! We had the opportunity to drive through Canton, OH, so I imposed my will on the family and claimed, "IN THE NAME OF ICE CREAM!!!" ;) and took the freeway exit exuberantly! Yelp directions are on point. Basically street parking only, but be mindful of the streets signs for parking. You have the option of sitting down on the right side dining area and menu ordering, or, going left and just lining up for a hit & run of creamy treats! We decided to sit down and take in the ambiance. Both side of the creamery were hoppin'! Long line to get ice cream and the dining room was packed! Cool old school wooden booths covered the walls! Luckily a few tables still remained available and we were seated promptly. Our server, Michelle was great! Attentive and never let our drinks empty out. There were a few issues with our orders and she remedied them without any issue! Alrighty, LET'S EAT!
THE KITCHEN SINK: SIX LARGE SCOOPS! Wahoo! We picked SALTED CARAMEL, COCONUT, COFFEE, BLACK WALNUT, BUTTER PECAN & STRAWBERRY( on a separate tray), with toppings & whip cream on the side so we could mostly taste the ice cream and it not melt so fast. Every ice cream flavor was delightfully creamy and flavor tastes were SPOT ON! Butter Pecan and Salted Caramel were the most flavorful to me. My son preferred the Strawberry, Wifey indulged in the Coconut the most. Loved the pecan topping! Also, I thought the Pineapple and Hot Fudge were tastefully crafted, as well. This here, alone, was totally worth the journey! So GOOD!
BACON CHEESEBURGER: Son was craving protein, and lately, always searches for a Bacon Cheeseburger. Taggart's has a version and, of course, he orders it. Good size hamburger patty and bacon is crisped just like he requested. VERY happy with his order and no leftovers means the kid enjoyed it! Solid burger!
PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM SANDWICH: Wifey has this thing about mushrooms... she can eat it like a burger! I've recently learned mushrooms are a solid source of Beta-Glucans ( very important for gut health) so I decided to take a bite lol. She loved this sammie, however, I, on the other hand, need more transition time to get use to the texture lol
VERY EASY RECOMMENDATION! Nom Nom level is high! Friendly & attentive service, prompt & tasty food delivery, and large ice cream scoops made this visit a memorable one! This is Halll Of Fame worthy! Enjoy :)
