A lot of family hype preceded our visit to Smithfield Ice Cream Parlor. Sadly, our experience did…read morenot live up to the hype. The ice cream counter is in the rear, and there's a decent selection ... but it was neither premium nor craft ice cream. The ice cream was a middle-of-the-road commercial brand -- Hershey's. Service was pleasant enough, but slow. The front of the shop has a lunch counter and grill on the left and booths on the right. The building itself is an historic brick structure.

A small group of us stopped in on a recent trip to the area for lunch and ice cream. It's a very casual place where you order your food at the cashier, and the food is delivered to your table. No one ever cleaned our table, and I didn't notice anyone cleaning any of the others Bertrand customers either. Unfortunately, the menu was limited, the few items ordered were poor quality. The ice cream is very disappointing. Simply grocery store ice cream that the servers dish out to order. They do have a wide variety of flavors to choose from. The staff is quite pleasant. Even so, I have to give this place thumbs down.

I have been here a few times with my family and we love it! We are always greeted upon entering by…read morethe woman at the register. They have so many options for treats. I typically get a milkshake. I've had the banana pudding and the banana cream pie. Both are delicious. They are pretty large so definitely something to share with someone if you cannot finish it. There are also little things you can purchase on the right side of the store when entering. They have freeze dried candies and gift type things like keychains and cups and whatnot. The place is pretty small so there is only two tables and some chairs near the front. They also have a few tables outside as well.

Delightful little ice cream shop in the heart of Suffolk. We stopped after walking around Lake Mead…read morePark. We were immediately greeted when walking in the door, the respectful addressing as "ma'am" and "sir" to me and my husband was also super refreshing, as in today's food service industry, you don't get that much anymore!! The shop doesn't hold a lot of people. 2 other families walked in at the same time we were there, but it was fine. Just noting for people who like to stay and chill. The ice cream wasn't as creamy as I had hoped, but still very nice! Would return!

Staff have always been friendly. As food goes - again it DQ, we all love Blizzards. Now for the location/facility. It's a bit older and shows. Some wear and tear. But I've always found this location clean and picked up by the staff. The restrooms get a lot of traffic here and kinda get a mess. But with staff running around getting the food out, not sure they have the staff to put more attention here. I guess in a perfect world, they would. This is probably your best quick rest stop between Suffolk and Petersburg.

The Chill Spot is the Hot Spot!…read more Duck has many an ice cream shop but this one stands out for great flavors and an ultra-cool staff. I had Peach one day and Trash Can the next. Both wonderful, satisfying, and refreshing. If you can't pick a flavor or want to be surprised, they will even read your vibe and create a personalized treat. Don't be discouraged if the line is long, the staff works diligently with a smile and you'll leave with a smile. I don't know how they do it with so many people coming and going, but they keep the shop clean. Highly recommended if you're in the Outer Banks!
