    Peach Sunday
    Bill V.

    Ice cream is fantastic, that's all we had. Service was so-so, the girl taking our order didn't even say thank you. I believe this has been a long standing establish. You can tell the locals are very loyal. It's a clean, open area with seating around the building.

    Polly's Freeze for old fashion fun and a delicious stop on a hot summer day. There were six of us, the women waiting on us were so patient. We had ages from my 100 year old father-in-law, to a 1 1/2 year old dachshund and everyone loved their food. My father-in-law had the bbq sandwich and a hot fudge sundae. The pup had a pup cup! Every one in between had either a Polly Burger, hot dog, fried cheese sticks, fish and chips, root beer float, flavorbursts cone, banana split, sundae, and dole whip. Yummy delicious. It was fun sitting outside and watching the world go by. There was plenty of outdoor seating, both sun and shade.

    My hubby and I decided to check out Polly's freeze, an ice cream joint we had heard about many times from the locals. We headed over. It was busy and they have fun items like pickle popsicle and Hawaiian hurricane! We had a hamburger, fried mushrooms, root beer, chicken sandwich, and my fave (cherry dip cone). So tasty, and very happily recommended. It's a happy place.

    Polly's Freeze is a regional treat, and I'm glad I finally had the opportunity to visit. My family and I stopped after our trip to Bryant's Blueberries. I got an Oreo flurry. My husband got a Polly's Freeze Special (cone rolled in peanuts with vanilla ice cream), and my son got a vanilla soft serve with sprinkles. Polly's Freeze has a walk-up window with its ample menu listed all along the front. It takes a minute to take it all in. And then there are picnic tables and other seating on either side. Our treats were great and hit the spot. The only hiccup was that they took 25 minutes or so to come out. We ended up asking about our order, and we found out that our order was put with the hot food orders, not ice cream. So if it's taking a bit, you might want to inquire.

    Orange sherbet and vanilla ice cream twist what better way to celebrate summer
    Debra A.

    What better way to celebrate a sunny summer Sunday than to take a drive to Mellwood Indiana and visit one of the best local establishments in southern Indiana. You can get virtually anything here from corndog all the way to a hot fudge sundae or frozen banana. I always opt for the orange sherbet and vanilla ice cream twist. Need something to do a a Sunday afternoon? How about putting the kids in the car and come on down ! you will not be sorry.

    About 3 months ago, we relocated to the southeastern area of Indiana from southcentral Kentucky. The first several days of unpacking all suggested "You must try Polly's Freeze! It's a landmark site! You'll love the food, ice cream, and atmosphere!" We did and we did! We visited frequently and made certain we stopped on their last day (they close for the winter months) to get our "ice cream and Polly Burger fixes" hoping it gets us through the winter!

    This place is a yearly tradition when we come out from Kansas City to visit family. The ice cream is excellent and you can't beat the retro ice cream stand vibes. Kids love it too!

    Even though it's only open a few months a year...absence makes the heart grown fonder. It's a community staple and I go way too often when it's open. Their food is not healthy but delicious...and they have every type of frozen treat you can think of. My personal favorite is the sherbet that changes flavors frequently and the upside down banana split.

Even before we were seated, I noticed a server wearing a green bandanna speaking to another employee, who we later learned was the manager on duty, in a way that seemed unprofessional and unfriendly. After we were seated, my wife asked if we could move because she was cold. We then waited about 15 minutes before anyone came to our table. When our server finally arrived, she acted like she didn't want to be there. My wife asked for a recommendation, but the response was vague and unhelpful. Our drink order was wrong. My wife and I ordered waters, and our son ordered a Sprite, but we received two lemonades and one water instead. After taking our order, our server disappeared. She never brought our food, checked on us, asked if we needed refills, or stopped by the table again. The manager walked past our table several times but never seemed interested in checking on our experience. The biggest issue was my son's meal. He ordered chicken sliders with the sauce on the side, but they arrived covered in sauce. Another employee took the meal back to be remade, but it came back wrong a second time. By then, my wife and I had already finished eating, and our son had been waiting nearly an hour without a proper meal. When I spoke with the manager, I asked that my son's meal be removed from the bill. Instead of taking responsibility and apologizing, the manager offered excuses rather than solutions. Mistakes can happen, but it's how they're handled that matters. Unfortunately, the customer service from both our server and the manager was disappointing. We left frustrated, and based on this experience, we will not be returning to this location.

We seated ourselves as there was no host but lots of waiters/waitress walking around. We sat at a simple rail table and waited for someone to wait on us and take our drink, food order. The staff just seemed oblivious to our being there and walked past several times. I finally went to the waitress station and got the attention of I believe the manager; He took my drink order; a Diet Coke wit bourbon and a Gallant Chocolate Stout. The tap spit so he went back to tap another keg. Was taking sometime; so got attention of the bartender ( Chrisella sp? ). I switched to a Founders stout and DC/bourbon. She was on it and gave me menus. Took drinks back to table and looked over the menu options. Many sounded very good; but still no one to take order. Went to waitress station and Sella took our order. 1 mile burger and one smash burger and split fries. We moved to the bar as a few patrons had left. Enjoyed game and soon food arrived. The burgers were really good and fries nice and crisp. Seen some pretty nice hot dogs served along with some hot fries. Even though service was mostly extinct, Chrisella made up for it. I'd like to plan to come back and try a few other interesting food and drink items. They do have one of the more comprehensive lists of beer line ups in the local area. I really liked the outside Biergarten and the business is very spacey and nicely decorated and lots of seating area.

Several of us decided to order food at Red Top, most for the first time. I've only experienced items from their food truck at an event at Churchill Downs in the past, so this was also my first time ordering at this location. I tried The Mac chopped salad and was pleased with the freshness and flavor. Would order it again. My friends tried loaded fries and a variety of burger choices. Everyone was happy. Counter staff person was friendly and helpful. He handed each of us a buzzer to alert when orders were available for counter pickup. Preparation was fast. Value with quality and quantity of food was comparable to other joints. We enjoyed the Mashup Food Hall venue and location overall.

While the fries were great, I found the burger salty and the bread overpowered the bite. It looked more appetizing than it was and I didn't care to finish it.

Friendly service at the counter. They passed on a buzzer to call us back over when the food was ready. I really appreciated the menus hanging on the wall while we were deciding on food options.

This burger had the best flavor and seasoning throughout every bite. Definitely going to go back and get this one again. I also tried the pulled pork. It was good, I added my favorite BBQ sauce once I got it home. They have crinkle fries and home fries, get the home fries! They were so good and seasoned perfectly. I would love them for breakfast! I also took the Beast home, which is grilled cheese on the top and the bottom with a burger in the middle. Everything was great but my burger was very small in the middle, maybe they should put a smash burger in the middle so every bite has burger. Chili was great. The beans had so much flavor. The jerk chicken was a little dry for my taste but it was okay. I'm definitely going back and won just pass it up anymore. Parking isn't very great there but find a spot and get in there!

The sauce deserves to be bottled and sold everywhere--it's that good. The portions are spot-on for the price, and the quality across the board is unreal.

They let us know they're open Friday-Sunday with running specials each day. And they're open March to November. They also do Smoked turkeys & other meats for Thanksgiving.

The baked beans are good with a unique flavor (I want to say all spice) The other sides were just average but not bad. Overall we loved this place & will definitely be back. Most likely ordering that smoked turkey for our next Holiday event. :)
