    Small split
    Crystal O.

    We took our time coming home from Hawthorne and stopped in Starke for some ice cream- John's request (he loves ice cream!). We pulled in right up front and were assessing the huge menu board when we were greeted by our server- car service! John and I both weren't expecting that- but we ordered promptly, I saw a small split and was intrigued! I love banana splits, but it's always too much! It was the perfect amount! John got a dipped cone and we happily ate our treats before continuing on home.

    My hometown burger and ice cream hangout. I've been coming here for over 50 years. People drive from all over to visit Powell's. A friendly staff serving good burgers and ice cream with decades of satisfying their customers

    We call it the malt shop because we had one back home in Texas in Weatherford. Just like it called the malt shop. We love it.

    They've recently had a change in management here, and the food quality has really gone up. They toast the buns when you asked them to and they are very accommodating. It seems like they really upgraded the quality of their cooks.

    We stopped here on a road trip and the young woman working here was wearing a camp top so I like her immediately. She is the kind of lady you want to work for you - what a sweetheart. Great menu and awesome sandwiches. Our fish sandwiches were fantastic. Place was immaculate and so clean. Beautiful day to sit outside and enjoy lunch. Allot of truckers and tradesmen stopped in so you know the food is good! Who ever runs this place - give this lady a raise ! :) thanks

    Shrimp box. It comes with fries and coleslaw. You gotta ask for a fork for the coleslaw, so get the fork when you order.

    Everything here is greasy. It is shakes, sodas, and fried stuff. The only menu is the thing in the window that people took pics of. Basically, it's the same food but maybe prices went up if the pic of the menu is a few years old. They will combine flavors on the shakes. My kids wanted banana and chocolate chip, and they got to get both in the same cup. The food was so greasy. I cannot emphasize this enough. Any sandwich or burger is going to have whatever meat is in the middle be dripping grease. The sandwiches do have good veg in them. It's thick pieces of tomato and lots of onions and all the fixings are fresh. The sandwiches are kind of expensive, but you get all the toppings and vegetables, so it's more than what you would get for the same price at fast food. Most fast food would charge you extra to get more veg to get up to the amount. Oddly enough, I got the shrimp box and the shrimp was not super greasy. It's popcorn breaded and fried, but not super greasy. There are a bunch of flavors of shakes. My kids wanted banana and chocolate chip. They got to get one shake of both flavors. I don't know Powell's did half and half and blended or instead they put all of both the mixes for the banana in and the chips in, which is what it seems like because there was plenty of banana and of chocolate. Anyway, there are a bunch of flavors and you can combine them. Seating is four outdoor picnic tables that are under a carport thing. It is like a Sonic, but smaller. I was there Friday night and it was super busy the whole time, but seating was not tight because most people do takeaway and take the food home with them.

    Dog friendly stop with all the right things... burgers, corn dogs, hot dogs, chili and shakes/ice cream. They even brought my pup a pupcup of soft serve. Nice folks and good food. Hot tip: no bathroom but the thrift store next door was sweet enough to let us use theirs.

    If you are looking to step back in time to when things were simpler then Powell's Dairy Freeze will take you there. A throwback to a simpler time when eating out was a treat and not the norm. What I love about Powell's is that you can either eat in your car or sit outside and enjoy the day with your family. This place reminds me so much of growing up. The waitresses may not wear roller skates but the curbside service is great. Whether you are looking for a great burger off the grill or a sweet treat Powell's has you covered. The food is fresh and hot and the service is wonderful. Plus the prices are FANTASTIC!!! My suggestion is to get a burger all the way with fries and a milkshake it will take you back to childhood. Well, it will if you were born before 1980...LOL

    The soft serve ice cream is great and the milkshakes are the best in Starke.

    Stopped in on our way back from Gainesville. Other than McDonald's and Wendy's they were the only…read moreplace serving ice cream. They serve flavors from Blue Belle and Hershey. It's in downtown Keystone Heights. Julia's has a very nice corner spot with a few tables outside. The side of the building that's "street side" I guess looks dirty and unkept. The inside is nothing special. One side lined with booths and some tables in the middle. The other side though, has an amazing window area looking out over the Main Street and downtown. In my opinion it isn't utilized very well. There's a couch or some tables. It's not very inviting and could be a perfect people/parade watching spot. They had the usual amount of flavors, more Blue Belle than Hershey. My son opted for blue Spider-Man cotton candy bubblegum as usual. My daughter and I both chose the German chocolate cake flavor. I chose cups over cones for all bc we were traveling with them. It smelled like delicious pizza (that we did not try) but after seeing the pie I knew it was from a frozen truck. There were other menus items like shakes, floats and fries but we just had ice cream. The cashier wasn't friendly and seemed impatient with me as I couldn't decide on a flavor. Her annoyedness carried over to the register. You're not missing anything if you skip this place!
