Not being native to the area, I do not have the nostalgia for Polly's that many seem to bubble over with, though I have come to enjoy an opportunity to go. Nestled up in the Knobs on the side of the road, Polly's has never not been bustling when I've visited. The atmosphere is more of a mountain diner on a curvy, Western road than something one finds in Southern Indiana. There are typically a handful of motorcycles and roadsters sprinkled amongst the more traditional transportation and a wide swath of people to match. I've only had a couple of items on the food menu. The fish sandwich is satisfactory, but the chicken simply tastes like salt. There's a reason it is called "Polly's Freeze" and not "Polly's Grill." The food isn't why you visit. You visit for the frozen deliciousness. The wide array or treats is amazing and can be overwhelming. There is most certainly something for anyone. Inside the small building, the service hums like a frantic beehive. There are just about as many people packed into that building as I think you can legally allow and each that I've dealt with is friendly, but seemingly near exhaustion. You will likely wait for your order, but there are certainly worse places to wait than this idyllic setting. read more

The big deal here is the vibe. Sitting in the shade of a big old tree, slurping down the sugary, empty calories of something cold and fattening is the absolute best way to spend an hour in the middle of July. The ice cream (soft serve) is good but pretty standard compared to any other soft serve. The portions and prices are fair. The service is quick and friendly. It'd be nice to know where the restrooms are, though, for the lactose intolerant among us. You know, just in case. read more

A great ice cream shop, they have so many options, not only do they serve ice cream but food such a burgers fries nuggets etc. honestly better than chillers which is hard to beat. I love their tea, flavor burst ice cream, and also their chicken nuggets. Would recommend read more

We hadn't been here for a few years and probably won't be back to our neighborhood food place. We usually get the Polly burger with a scoop of the BBQ on each. We ended up getting 2 Polly burgers with a scoop of BBQ on each burger with 1 order of fries. They used to charge 0.50 cents for each scoop.... this time they charged us over 3$ . They have changed the burger since the last time we were there.... could definitely taste a difference in quality. Our bill ended up being over $17 which seems high for 2 burgers and 1 fry. read more

Excellent soft serve ice cream. I had the banana boat and my girlfriend had the upside down Elvis. The banana boat was half a slice of banana with 2 serving of soft serve ice cream with peaches and strawberries then whipped cream. Upside down Elvis consisted of peanut butter ice cream with hot fudge sauce, Heath bars and whipped cream. Will definitely come back since they have an extensive menu that I would like to sample more flavors. read more

Polly's Freeze - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Georgetown, Indiana

A classic old time ice cream stop that hasn't changed since the 50's. I'm not a huge fan of the flavored yogurt. But the upside down banana split is where it's at. The food isn't anything to write home about but it's definitely a fun. It's just far enough away from Louisville to make for a fun drive to step back into yester year. read more

Always pleased with our experience here! Milkshakes, ice cream cones, flurries, fried fish and fries; we've gotten these items and more at Polly's Freeze! Very yummy! We take our treats and/or food to the picnic tables in the backyard of Polly's Freeze and our kids play tag while waiting or once they've finished eating. read more

Polly's Freeze - Atmosphere and desserts and happy family at Polly's Freeze - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Georgetown, Indiana

Best ice cream in Southern Indiana. This place has been around forever and shows no signs of giving up their

A Southern Indiana classic spot. We like to take our antique car out for rides and ice cream, and this is the spot we always hit. Its not fancy ice cream, but its classic. They always have a flavor of the month, as well as some fun flurry flavors. Last visit they had banana and it was strong but very good. Didn't taste fake. I believe the frozen yogurts come in different flavors too. And the sundaes always look super good. The food (aka non-ice cream) is marginal. Its kinda basic burger stand stuff. Haven't had the food in years, but from memory they had decent fries! They have some picnic tables through out the property to sit and enjoy your ice cream. Parking can sometimes be at a premium, but its worth it. read more

Polly's Freeze has been a lifelong summer tradition for our family for generations. It is an excellent throwback to roadside ice cream stands, yet full of modern day menu options. My go to is their Barbecue and a Chocolate Soda. Their secret recipes for both make them a summer favorite! read more

Online ordering is the way to go!!!!!!! Love Pollys Freeze! My daughter always gets the specialty sherbet and it's FANTASTIC! We are so glad we live just down the road. read more

Best place in southern Indiana to eat smooth delicious ice cream deserts and mouthwatering cheese burgers and fries....

Wonderful place for treats. Just like things used to be in the good ole days. The line is always long because the ice cream is worth the wait. read more

I've been goin to pollys for 40 years and I will probably still go in the future but only for ice cream. Food just takes to long 1:20 min wait tonight between waiting in line and getting food. Most of the wait was for food. I don't know what's so different from previous owners but takes for ever now an d food definitely lower quality. Ice cream is still good but it's slow now also. It's great atmosphere but if there's mor than 4 people in line I would recommend keep driving. Still love you Polly but not sure if I'll be coming back read more

Pollys Freeze is consistently a great place to go. Great ice cream. The food is really good too. We love going there any chance we get.

The best ice cream around. The food is good and the staff are great. Wish it was open year round

Amazing service from teenagers! Family oriented and their ability to hire good and hardworking staff is a breath of fresh air. I haven't been impressed with my children's generations' work ethic but I compliment this business for their keen hiring. And... the ice cream dishes are amazing! (Lol bad service could make the best food in the world unappetizing.) I haven't tried the food so I have no reviews on it. Ice cream and service gets 5 stars! read more

This ice cream/grill shop has been around for more than 50 years! It's an institution in the Georgetown area. Shakes, sodas, malts, sundaes & ice cream by the scoop, either in a cup or a cone. On the grill, u can get chicken & hamburgers (Pollyburger). Although I didn't have them on my visit, the onion rings looked delicious! Food items are average, it's the history & ambience that you are going for here, and that counts for one of the 4 stars! read more

We love the small Mom and Pop's place! Love their food, especially their upside down banana split! Very good!

This place captures an atmosphere that newer places spend big money to try and capture (but don't!). Visiting this place is like entering a time capsule and stepping back in time. The food is typical of such places... burgers, fries, chicken/fish sandwiches, onion rings, etc. The dairy selection may just be the biggest I have ever seen... anywhere! My personal fav is the blueberry frozen yogurt cone made with real blueberries... it is incredible! There must literally be 500 ways to temp your frozen sweet tooth here! There is only outdoor seating, take notice of the weather before heading over. Orders are placed and received at windows that are not protected from the elements. The only downside is the parking and seating can easily fill up. And be prepared to stand in a long line. (Of course, if there are that many people waiting, it must be good!) Your best bet, for a first time visit, would be to not visit during lunch or dinner rushes. I live in the south end of Louisville, and I enjoy Polly's Freeze enough to make the short trip a few times each summer. read more

Nothing. I mean NOTHING. Says summer like Poly Freeze. Polly Freeze is no frills but perfect in every way. Order at the window and wait for your food. A family of four can get dessert here for under $20. We usually go for burgers and onion rings too! The food, while far from fancy, is just perfection. Maybe it's the fresh air and sunshine and happy kids. There is a large field and picnic tables where we like to sit and take in the sunshine. It's the perfect spot to spend a summer evening catching up with friends. Bring a ball or some bubbles for the kids to play with! They'll want to stay for hours. The ice cream is tasty and rich and delicious. They have lots of old fashioned choices and each is better than the last! If you're looking for the perfect summer experience look no further than Polly Freeze! Be sure to check if they're open if you want it during off season. They close early fall and don't open until spring! read more

Great local place! Great food & even better frozen nummies. They have several different flavors of ice cream & sherbet available and they switch flavors up frequently. All in all, a great place. We always look forward to opening day. read more

I'll jump right in here and say the food we had was beyond terrible. I swear the hamburgers were made out of mystery meat pounded to 1/100th of an inch thick and cooked until the patty turned green. Completely tasteless. Obviously they are frozen and made at a factory in some third world country. The fries were ok, nothing special. Now, the banana pineapple milkshakes were fantastic. We should have guessed that by all of the land whales in line for ice cream items. Another concern you should have is the slooooooow service. People are in line here all the time. When they are open, there is a line. Now the line isn't because there are a thousand customers; it's because they are very slow in filling orders. Overall, I'd stop for a shake if I was driving by and there wasn't a line. I drive by everyday though, and I've never "not" seen a line at the pick up window. Watch the traffic pulling in and out, people are not watching the road. read more

Polly's Freeze - I love their soft serve with other flavors twisted on the edge! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Georgetown, Indiana

I will make this to the point. I went to this place on a motorycle ride with one of my good friends and let me tell you. First of all, I can not eat that much ice cream because.....lets just say my wife does not appreciate it, however, this place has the best ice cream I have ever had. Second, it has an awesome location. If you are looking for a nice Sunday with the family, out with friends on your bike, or getting down solo this place is just awesome. Last......this place is just down right good! read more

The perfect summer night treat. It's a short drive from Louisville and oh so worth it. It's an old fashioned ice cream parlor with a walk up to order and pick up your order. The prices are inexpensive and there are many varieties and flavors to choose from. There's plenty of food options as well. There's plenty of parking and outdoor seating. No place to sit inside but you wouldn't want to either. There are many trees and it's just he perfect setting for a sweet treat with family and friends. Family friendly place. Check it out. read more

Twinkle. Enough said. I have been going to polly's Freeze sine I was a kid and always make a point to stop in here when I am in town visiting family. Their food is okay--standard casual fare, nothing to write home about. But the ice cream, of the ice cream! They have every variation you could image. From malts to sundaes to cones, they've got it. My absolute favorite is getting a soft serve cone rolled in a delectable mix they call Twinkle. It contains nuts, sprinkles and little toffee bits to give your cone a crunch, sweetness and a bit of color. I even order extra Twinkle to take home with me! read more

CLOSING TODAY - 9/25/16- FOR THE SEASON. I love this place. The sheer variety of delicious ice cream choices is enough to make your head spin. From the flurry, to cones, sundaes, milkshakes, boats....you really cannot go wrong. I also like their food..while nothing out of this world, it satisfies something in me that only good ole Americana food can. Favorite for me is the PollyBurger, dressed with cheese and French fries. I encourage making the short drive out to this little gem that has survived from the past to grace us in the present. A few things to note. It gets busy, but rarely have I had to wait more than 10 minutes, and that's even if I order food. You order and pay at the left window and pick up at the right window. Pay attention though. They call out the orders to be picked up from the second window, so remember what you got or the order number they told you to avoid any confusion. They are a seasonal establishment, usually open from April to September. They are very good about alerting when they open in the Spring on their Facebook page. The seating is outside with benches and tables spread around the grounds. My favorite spot is a bench facing the back of the property and it is a perfect spot if you're on an ice cream date. read more

Pollys is a good place for ice cream with your pup or family! The owners are constantly thinking of ways to better appeal to the public like putting in fans for comfort, the overhead so the sun isn't on you while waiting in line, keeping the bathrooms cool and clean, and making sure the employees are always customer service oriented! read more

If you have been to southern Indiana and not visited Polly freeze, you are wrong. This is an institution, a tradition and ALWAYS satiffactory. I will put on a coat to sit and shiver while I eat my ice cream, just for the feeling of being transported back to summers visiting my grandparents and making the trip for an upside-down sundae or a frozen banana. The ice cream is always amazing, the service friendly and the atmosphere nostalgic. Do yourself a favor and drive down. Tasty goodness is in store for you! read more

I have to say the people that work there are very friendly and it definitely has that southern Indiana hospitality feel that you really can't get any where else in the country. Also the land that its on is very nice and there is plenty of tables and benches to sit out and enjoy your ice cream. The dairy, lets just say if you had to go to a baseball game and wanted to see all of your favorite players at once this place is like that when it comes to they dairy selection. They have EVERYTHING. I have also not had any ice cream here that id don't like. Definitely should try their waffle cones that they make in house, these things are excellent. There is also so many different options to make your very own mouth watering dessert. On the food side its just okay. if you are looking for a snack to go along with your ice ream and to maybe break up that sweet flavor then i would get something. Other then that I wouldn't want to come here for just the food. The food definitely isn't something to right home about but when it comes the dairy I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Wonderfully charming roadside ice cream stand. The menu features snack items and soft serve ice cream treats. Their recipe is nicely textured and creamy. You can sit at a picnic table under oak and Poplar trees. read more

The ice cream is AMAZING. We drive 30 miles just to get dessert. The upside down banana split is a favorite. The banana split is awesome. The variety keeps us coming back. Burgers are great too. Dinner and a great dessert, what more could you want. read more

Food was okay, had pork tenderloin, Pollyburger, onion rings and fries. The food was okay, nothing great by any means. The item that was really good was their shakes. I had a cherry cordial and my daughter and her friend had chocolate. They were really good. I wish the straws were wider versus the flexible straws, not a big deal. The place was busy, but service was quick. Not very polite but quick. There are places to sit outside. read more

Clean, old-fashioned ice cream walk-up place, not far south from I-64. Always has customers because it is so good! It's worth the wait. My favorite is the banana boat banana split. So many calories, but you only go through this life once! read more

Very cool spot for date night or to bring the kids. Lots of outdoor seating and just about every kind of ice cream under the sun! I recommend placing your order at the window instead of their online option. The last time we went we ordered online and waited and waited and waited some more. I never heard them call my order number as being ready. When I got tired of waiting I walked up to the pick up window to ask about my order and it had been ready for 20 minutes. Food was under a heat lamp and milkshakes in the freezer. The food was still good but the shakes had to thaw a bit before we could enjoy them. I will still continue to come here but will not use the online order option again. read more

Best old-time traditional ice cream shop. Catch classy cars and local friends on any given night. If you're not from the area and want a taste of local flavor you've gotta go to Polly's Freeze even if just passing through. You won't retreat it. The Fonze would've made it a regular if he cruised here. read more

My family recently visited here. We had the fish sandwiches and onion rings. They were delicious. It was a little slow but well worth the wait. At least you know you are getting freshly cooked food instead of something that has been sitting under a heating lamp. The staff was also super friendly. read more
