You either have to park in the lower lot, or stop in when walking the shops. Some of the flavors are unique. Lately I'm stuck on Ube, which I was told is Phillipino eggplant. It has a slight chocolate taste to me. Again, there's so many flavors there that you can't get or find at any local ice cream stand or shop. Best part is they're open all year round, so this isn't seasonal. They do have a freezer unit that has many products and flavors that they carry, in 1 pint containers to take home. They have what was a store front window display area where you can sit and enjoy, while overlooking traffic going by. If you're going to eat at any of the area restaurants, don't eat dessert there, but instead come here. You won't be disappointed.

While we were there someone came in asking for a bourbon flavor which unfortunately he was out of but I did get the Kahlua flavor which I would absolutely recommend. We went pretty late on a Wednesday so there was plenty of parking and seating but I understand from my parents, who have gone many times, that it can get pretty busy. So plan accordingly.

The bench seating was very comfortable, though some of the tabletops were pretty tall and all wood, so maybe not the easiest to sit at for a while. The restaurant has an extensive menu, but when I saw the pitmaster section I knew I had to try some of that. As an appetizer there were potato skins with pulled pork. Wow, these are not the wizened, come from a frozen box, potato skins. These were large, brimming with flavor and cheese. From the pit was brisket and ribs. Each came with corn bread, one with fries, the other with mac and cheese. Corn bread, so good, nice grainy texture, not a baked sugar slurry like you can find elsewhere, up here in the north. The brisket is super tender, doesn't need much sauce because it's packing all that natural and smoke flavor. The ribs are not dainty. You're going to be getting in here with your hands, like proper ribs eating. I'm so unused to that, and it resulted in me bringing half the rack home because a half rack was so filling. The edges of the ribs were dry, but all the interior was pull apart tender and delectable. Again, only needing a touch of their homemade sauce. The fries were robust but still crispy and seasoned well. The mac was the only miss for me. Too toothsome and not much flavor. Because they also do wood fired pizza, I got a cheese with ricotta to go. I'm not sure I ever need their pizza again. The crust was thin but not very crispy except on the cornicione, which had a lot of herbs sprinkled on it. The sauce disappeared, flavor wise, and so did the cheese blend. Side notes - I know everything has gotten crazy expensive, but the prices here took me aback. $16 for three pieces of bacon? Also, the 10% military discount was only applied to my ribs, but nothing else, so I'm happy they have one but it may only be applied to your food and non alcoholic drinks on Tuesdays and Fridays during their specific windows.

The menu is HUGE so we needed some extra time to order - neither of us could decide. We ended up both going with noodle dishes and the steamed chicken dumplings to start. Everything was fantastic. I got the Spicy Noodle - so flavorful and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. I literally cleaned my plate. My friend got the Crazy Noodles and the huge flat noodles were so fun. She couldn't finish all of hers and I took her leftovers, which were just as delicious the next day. The restaurant is in a large shopping plaza so there is a TON of parking.

They have people working the front of the house, as well as people in the back running food. Efficient! The food has been consistently good. Not outstanding, but nothing to whine about.

We went to the buffet where we noticed the quality of food didn't look so great but we decided to stick to it. We came back to the table and sat down with our food. Right away I noticed the back wall at the table behind the napkins was filthy. And quickly after my husband showed me his cup for the tea. It was disgusting! And I looked at mine and it too was so dirty! I put two ice cubes in it so that I could wet the inside and wipe it out with a napkin. (See the photos of my dirty cup and the napkin of the stuff I wiped out of my cup). Nasty! Obviously their dishwasher isn't doing the job. The silverware was also very tarnished and I wiped stuff off of them too! The service was meh. The food was flavorless and of poor quality. The only thing I found that was decent was the chicken and broccoli. The crab rangoons were chewy but the filling was ok. We finished eating and left. We all agreed that we would not return to this place. It was dirty and the food was lacking! Don't waste your money! Go elsewhere! They obviously don't care about their business. This place could be so much better if they tried!

Many restaurants tend to skimp on the vegetables, but that was definitely not the case here. You can tell a lot of care goes into the cooking, and I'll absolutely be back to try more dishes!
