Loved it here. They have the best array of custard I've seen... actually anywhere. I had the pineapple dole whip. I order this a lot at other places. But when I ordered it here, it was much fresher and flavorful. Their portions are huge. They are very generous with the servings. The line was very long but moved quickly. It was definitely worth it. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for great dessert! read more

They serve the Perry's ice cream brand and it's definitely worth trying during peak summer days. We had the raspberry and cookie cream flavors of ice cream and they were really yummy. It is a busy place with customers most of the time and the vibes are really nice. They have an outdoor seating area for larger groups as well. read more

Excellent service. Delicious creamy soft serve. Milkshake incredible. They have butter pecan which never seems to be available in stores. Such kind and generous people. Too windy to sit outside but quite a bit of outdoor seating read more

Delicious ice cream was had on a warm summer night peanut butter chocolate was fantastic. One scoop is humongous, two unfathomable. We will return for sure. read more

Plank Road Ice Cream - Chocolate peanut butter soft serve - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Syracuse, New York

One of my fav ice cream spots. Their soft serve is custard versus ice cream. Just had their soft strawberry with marshmallow sauce.... It was amazing! Only bad part was that they had just run out of strawberry crunch coating that I was craving. They did have regular crunch coating that I substituted instead and it was good. They had several featured treats in addition to their main stuff. I feel like this is one of the places with the fairest pricing for the amount you get. It is cash only so make sure you bring it. read more

Plank Road Ice Cream is fantastic. The soft serve is on point. The serving sizes make you grin ear to ear and the variety of choices are endless. The staff is great and always appear excited to serve and deliver greatness. The parking is plentiful and the seating is all outside and there's a moderate amount. They do offer shade though which is appreciated. It's a no brainer, you like ice cream, you'll love Plank Road. read more

Plank Road Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Syracuse, New York

Every time I'm in town - there's at least one stop at Plank Road Ice Cream - and one of those stops is to get the two berry twist soft serve. If you don't like to get a lot of ice cream, ask for the kiddy size! Even the small is giant! In the picture I have a medium cone - and the small is just shy of that scale. The staff there are quick and kind. They take care of you promptly and make sure you're happy. It's a bummer there isn't a parlor room to sit in because going there at night in the summer - you get eaten alive! Highly recommend the stop for anyone craving ice cream. Massive selection to choose from. read more

Plank Road Ice Cream - a person holding an ice cream cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Syracuse, New York

It's crazy how much ice cream we've had in Syracuse without ever trying this place. I think every time we're in the area we've just never had cash on us. There's multiple ice cream places right near Plank that take cards, so we've always just pivoted around it. This year we finally put our foot down and made a point to set aside some Plank cash. At this point we've been just about everywhere in the area, and we both confidently place Plank at the top of the list. There's a few important qualities that each would singlehandedly bring us back over other places: -Soft serve flavors. They've got peanut butter/chocolate all season long. There's a few places that do this, but this one has a very specific taste to it. Kind of a sour base like yogurt or cheesecake. It's not what I want every time, but sometimes I'll lean into that taste and mix in some cheesecake bites and Oreos for the full on cheesecake experience. We tried the orange in a Razzle but couldn't get into it. It definitely felt more like sherbet than ice cream, which threw off the whole creamsicle feel we were going for. They have one slot on rotation that seems to change every time we go there. The only rotational flavor we weren't into was pumpkin, because it was all chai/pumpkin pie spice and not a lot of pumpkin. -Portion sizes are insane, and the prices don't reflect it. I think the cone in the picture was a medium. The first time we asked for a sample to try the peanut butter flavor, they gave us a cup with more than we could eat before our orders were made. If we're going home, we try to order things in a cup so we can freeze what we don't eat. Additionally, sometimes I like to pile in an unreasonable amount of mix-ins into a flurry or sundae. Some places charge extra per mix-in, others reduce the amount of each one if you order multiples (sometimes while also charging extra). Rest assured, if you order a flurry with 3 mix-ins, you'll be able to eat it with a fork and you won't be charged extra for it. -Super accommodating staff. We get owner vibes from the guy we see most often, and he's down for anything. Our orders can get weird and complicated, but these guys keep up and we don't feel like a burden. Last time we went, we asked for a parfait style set up, layering different soft serves with different toppings and it was completely painless. There are places I wouldn't even risk asking for multiple mix-ins. I tried ice cream nachos here for the first time, and it was amazing. Definitely had to eat that one outside. They were doing strawberry soft serve on rotation, so I went for the full PBJ. One pile of peanut butter ice cream with strawberries, one pile of strawberry ice cream with peanut butter. And as usual, I didn't have to break out hand puppets to explain my order, and I wasn't made to feel fussy for the amount of detail. There's gotta be like at least two full cones worth of waffle rounds to scoop with. I could have replaced a meal with this order. They do Perry's for hard ice cream, and their menu selection is about average. Even so, they've got more pull than many of the places right near me due to the portion sizes, the unique soft serve selections and the service. read more

I came here for the first time last weekend. I'm glad I tried it. So tasty! Even though the portions were bigger than I expected, I left feeling very satisfied. Note to self: get the baby size next time. I got the orange and vanilla twist with chocolate sprinkles. Delicious. Service was great. I was very impressed. My ice cream was messy, but that's my own fault. Oops! Great ambiance. Plenty of places to sit and enjoy. I hope I can come back here again. read more

Plank Road Ice Cream Open for the season! I really love Perry's Ice cream. Toasted Coconut, one of my favorite flavors. They have soft serve as well and the sundaes looked delicious. Perfect sunny day to have a treat. read more

Visiting plank road is a tradition when I come back home during the summer. My last review was 3 years ago, and 3 years later, they continue to deliver quality ice cream and service. Even during a time of inflation, their prices are still reasonable, and their portions exceed your expectations. They are always busy at night, as people flock here at night for a delicious treat. Although the lines get long, the service is friendly, and quick. I get a small because their small is equivalent to a medium and maybe even a large at some places. They have a variety of hard and soft serve ice cream, razzles, shakes, floats, and sundaes. read more

10/10. Super nice workers, delicious soft serve with flavors like chocolate pb twist and mint fudge brownie - both were awesome! The serving sizes are massive and you will most likely not want anything larger than a medium. If there's a long line, it's certainly worth the wait. This place is definitely in my top 3 syracuse ice cream establishments. Large parking lot, good number of tables, and cash only. Would 100% return! read more

We always go for opening day. Doesn't matter if it's 30 and raining like last year or 50 and sunny like this year. We miss this place during the winter. The ice cream is the best around. So creamy and delicious. And the small size cone is like the size of a medium (or large) anywhere else. Staff are friendly and really get that perfect swirl so it doesn't fall. read more

Cute place but the quality of ice cream isn't consistent. I ordered the vanilla orange soft cone. The vanilla ice cream is rich, creamy and very good but the orange was terrible. It had a bad aftertaste and tasted very artificial. Ended up throwing the whole thing away because it was so off putting. read more

Delicious frozen custard with very generous portions. The gentleman that usually serves us is very friendly and greets us with a smile, which makes us feel very welcome. My bf and I went on a quest to find the best frozen custard in town..this place wins hands down. Aside from frozen custard, they have many flavors of hard ice cream..but I've only tried the custard. They are a cash only but do have an atm on the side of the building, if needed. read more

Some of the best ice cream in the Syracuse area, especially the chocolate/Peanut twist.

Ice cream nachos?! Literally the perfect food. They have a ton of flavors and toppings. We love this place!

My favorite stop for ice cream!!! Smooth and creamy soft serve. You have to try the peanut butter and chocolate twist when they have it. The only place where their small size is closer to a large elsewhere. Super nice owner and staff. Nice outdoor seating area for those nice days. Worth the drive no matter where you live!!!!! read more

I'm giving them an extra star for having ice cream for pups on their menu! It's $1.95. I don't know if it's regular ice cream/soft serve or if its's a different formula especially made for doggos. There is no indoor seating. There is plenty of parking. They take cash only. They have sundaes, ice cream sandwiches, soft serve ice cream and hard ice cream. They have bench style seats and some metal tables/chairs under an overhang. I had the white lighting hard ice cream (dark chocolate ice cream with white mint swirls) and the fiance had the muddy sneakers ice cream (has peanuts in it). I thought they tasted pretty good. Next time I come, I'd get the baby size rather than the small. They were almost the same size. The small (single scoop) is pretty massive. The waffle cones were alright. They weren't as good as the waffle cones at Gannons. They were smaller and less crunchy/crispy. I would have liked to see a little more variety in the hard ice cream flavors. The workers here looked super bored. read more

Peanut butter dip on chocolate custard is where it's at! I don't think I've ever had a peanut butter dip but I love the chocolate peanut butter combo. The dip was fantastic! The ice cream was very good. The cone was decent but the bottom tip popped and my already melted ice cream blubbered out of the bottom. It was so hot yesterday that once I broke through the shell, the ice cream just poured out. Messy as hell but well worth it! Don't miss stopping here if you're nearby. Yum! read more

My family and I stumbled upon this place as we were visiting a restaurant across the street. During this pandemic places were slowly opening up so we walked across the street to this hidden gem in North Syracuse. The portions are mighty and the flavors are excellent. I ordered maple walnut ice cream and it was loaded with walnuts and flavor. Their soft ice cream is to die for as well. read more

This place is amazing. I cannot even say that enough. Let's start first by talking about the portions. The portions here are for those that have a colossal appetite. Thinking I was being conservative, I ordered a small, and the size of the cone that came out to me was roughly the size of a medium/large at any other establishment. The taste of the soft serve is very smooth and light. I enjoy that they have the crunch coate for the toppings and so do my children. He hard ice cream flavors are plentiful and even specialty items are available. Although I initially thought the prices were a little steep, I realized they are way under charging for the amount of ice cream you actually get. I'm very thankful for finding this gem. It is definitely one of those spots you need to hit when you're in the North Syracuse area! So glad I found this place! read more

This place is amazing. I will always get soft serve ice cream here since I like soft serve much better. The staff is on their phones quite often but it's understandable as there's not much to do. The staff is also, for the most part, friendly and attentive. There are some that aren't but don't let that discourage you. There is a limited seating and limited shade in spots. The good thing, the portions are AWESOME! You pay for a small and you get a medium. Pay for a large and you get an extra large. Etc. etc. They are very generous with their portion sizes. You get your money's worth and that's the best. I love Plank Road and that will probably never change lol read more

stopped in tonight with the family. i wanted a hot fudge sundae with hard chocolate ice cream. the younger male that took my order said that they did not have hard chocolate. i asked do you have hard vanilla.. he said no. the girl that was working with him mentioned the flavors that we have are on the board ( SAID THIS KIND OF RUDE IN MY OPINION ). PLANK ROAD OWNERS.. i am trying to give you my business. this is probably around the 4th or 5th time this has happened here. hard chcoolate and vanilla are something you should not run out of EVER.. also, your face of your business ( your people taking the orders).. you should probably train them to smile a bit and be just a bit personable. vickys in liverpool didn't run out of lemon ice tonight.. they got the $ i was trying to give you read more
