I love, love, love their ice cream. It is rich, creamy and yummy. I don't want to tell you my favorite because I am afraid they will run out. I dtive out of my way, past many "ice crean, frozen yogurt & frozen custard" establishments to get to the Rodeo Whip. Don't go if you are in a hurry! So many know about this place so ypu may have a 5-30 minute wait - and that is just the drive through. I tried ordering a regular cone and was amazed how large it was. I told my USMC friend do not order the large. He didn't listen. I don't think he ate it all. I order the "child's size" and that has 2 scoops of deliciousness. If you want nostalgic great ice cream, go there. Oh yes, they have milk shakes, sundays, banana splits, etc. This is definitely my GO TO place. read more

Date night, dessert! We arrive around 9:30 there was a line so we knew the ice cream was gonna be good Some of the signage is a little outdated and hard to read But they do have a QR code so we made that work We sampled a few of the ice cream with blueberry cheesecake, bean in our absolute favorite , it's considered one of their hard ice creams, so scooped, ice cream versus soft serve out of the machine It had a homemade cheesecake vanilla flavor with blueberry jam, or jelly mixed into it so delicious. It tasted like fresh blueberries absolutely loved it. We both got two waffle cones. My Husband had two scoops, one being the blueberry cheesecake and the other one being the cappuccino crunch. The cappuccino crunch also had bold flavors with a really great crunch added in. We don't live in the area, but we had dinner out there in Deland and saw this place driving by so we stopped in to give it a try so happy that we did because this could definitely easily become our new favorite ice cream place because the flavoring was so delicious They are busy they have a drive-through and they have a walk-in when we got there. There's a line of like six people. It didn't take long and when we were leaving, there is another line of roughly 10 people. The lady who took our order was super friendly, told us that we can try whatever flavors we wished because they do have some rotating flavors 10 out of 10 would definitely try again. Would love to try one of their ice cream cakes. They have a banana pudding one read more

After the remodel it just doesn't feel the same. No bathrooms anymore. And prices are higher, and I remember it tasting better. Not so good now, I will find somewhere else from now on. Real shame. read more

We love rodeo whip! Our friends brought us here years ago to have their deliciously fresh ice cream. We're so glad we have this so near and can have it any time! Great and super quick service. read more

No atmosphere and extremely expensive!!! Went there for a banana split and decided to leave after they told me how much it was. All of the prices are outrageous read more

Small, local and long standing ice cream joint in Deland. Not a large place or overly fancy, just simple and perfect. I've been going to this place since I was a kid and it still hits the spot! Large variety of flavors and choices to mix and match for the perfect cone or sundae!! My personal fav as a kid and even until now is the Garbage Pail, vanilla mixed with snickers, peanut butter cups and m&ms. I realized I was in the area for work and decided to hit up the drive-thru for a few take home pints. The Garbage Pail for me (still states like heaven) and Oreo for my boyfriend. The chunks of candy/cookie with the creaminess of the ice cream make this a must stop when the craving for a sweet treat hits! read more

Best ice cream anywhere, people friendly and accommodating, eating area clean and comfortable.

Any kind of ice cream you could want. Delicious! Staff is friendly and efficient. Clean.

Well this place is a just a little scoop of heaven. If you've never been, you don't know what you're missing. This time of year the make their pumpkin ice cream.... Not overly pumpkin flavor and nice hints of ginger and cinnamon. My fav for this time of year. My all time fav... German Chocolate Cake. Let me tell you. Bits of moist chocolate cake, walnuts and coconut. Even better is one scoop of the German chocolate cake and one scoop of pumpkin. Amazing together!!! Ummm..., maybe I shouldn't have told you that. My husband is hooked on their chocolate chip and daughter is chocolate chip cookie dough. They have kinds of homemade flavors, sundaes, milkshakes just to name a few. They have special limited flavors throughout the seasons. Enjoy enjoy enjoy!! read more

The employees are all super nice. Their icecream is amazing. Talk about quick serving.

This is so nostalgic been going since 1996 and just went back and it's still just as good as always. Like the biggest most tastiest ice cream around. . I suggest getting a kids unless you want a truckload of ice cream. The swirl dipped in chocolate has been a fave for 25 years. I took my boyfriend and his daughter when we went for her college tour and they loved it too!! read more

Not recently but we were amazed how much you get for the price. There's a small area with tables to eat if outside is too hot or too cold.

The ice cream was good. But I think they could be more sustainable with the cups. Came here for the first time and would come back. Ice cream was good but wish there was more knowledge of this place. Lots of staff but ... not much info. read more

We walked in and there was 1 couple at the window. They got their ice cream and sat down and we stepped up to the window and waited and waited and waited.(maybe 10 minutes) There were 4 workers and 2 of them walked by the window several times and never even a knowledged us. We have never had this kind of service there before. We left and drove to Sweet Spot where there were about 15 people in the store and the drive through line had several cars. We were waste on immediately. read more

By far my favorite ice cream parlor! My favorites are the typical butter pecan and cookies and creams. I recently tried the banana pudding ice cream and it's delicious!! The servers are super nice. The line is always wrapped around the corner, so there's always at least a 30 minute wait time, but it's worth it! read more

The ice-cream is amazing. Everyone I bring loves the ice-cream with the large size, the soft ice-cream is great, love love the pineapple

The ice cream here is top notch. There is always a line for the drive thru window, but the wait is worth it. Best ice cream spot in the area. read more

Been going to rodeo whip for years. Matter of fact went the other day with the family got 1 small soft serve in a cone and 2 hand dipped small cups. They have a really good product but they also have a ton of rules. The ice cream only has kiddie, small and large seems like there should be a medium size however they do give big portion sizes i must say are good portion sizes almost to generous and they are not consistent. The shakes are priced to the moon and made with ice cream and heavy whipping cream super rich and delicious but super bad for you. And the price is laced with gold and diamonds 14.00 for a shake is crazy. The product is really good but i wonder about the pricing sometimes my order was 18.00 give or take a few cents. I say it is really good homemade ice cream prices a bit much. Ambiance is a little hole in the wall a coat of paint every now and then might be a good thing. Staff is okay they seem to be competent and some what friendly. A smile goes a long way especially in an ice cream store its supposed to be fun overall i give them a generous 4.5 as there is nothing like it for miles. Only go to the one in Deland. Compared to Mr C in the Keys who makes everything in house also the prices are ridiculous at rodeo whip. Same three ice creams in islamorada at Mr Cs was only $9.00. And they give healthy portions also. And they are in a resort town. But since Im close to home and good quality homemade ice cream i keep coming back. read more

Best Ice Cream that I've had. Well worth the wait! Friendly hard working folks dishing out refreshing flavors to beat the heat in the Deland/Orange City area! A must stop destination!! read more

Amazing ice cream! Our first time here so we were overwhelmed with all the choices. The lady was patient and informative. The kids loved their glaciers and my peanut butter fudge crunch was fantastic, and huge!! I got a small and it was 2 scoops!! I thought the prices were reasonable, 3 treats for less than $15. I will definitely be back to try some more flavors!! Yummy!! Note: I don't do drive thrus, so I can't attest to anything about that issue. read more

When you see a line wrapped around the drive through, you know that something is special is present. My wife and I were craving some ice cream, and I've had Rodeo Whip recommended to me from the locals, so I jumped in line before grew any larger. I will start off by saying you will wait for quite a while! There were some patrons that parked their car, walked inside, and left before I could even move up one spot. You'll make your order at the window, after you pass their massive menu,, then wait and get your order after a while, so the positive is you'll get some Freshly scooped ice cream, milkshake, sundae, etc. I ordered an Oreo milkshake and my wife ordered the chocolate peanut butter ice cream on a waffle cone. My wife's chocolate ice cream had peanut butter pieces within her two scoops, and my milkshake had actual crushed Oreo cookies, and I was able to taste the cream from the cookies themselves. What's different with rodeo whip, is that you can have your ice cream or milkshakes made into a soft or hard preparation. If you're in the neighborhood, Rodeo Whip is worth a visit, just get there at a good time to avoid a long wait. read more

This ones quite simple. We waited 45 minutes in the drive thru for an ice cream cone.. Literally just an ice cream cone.. There's absolutely no way to exit the drive thru once you enter so beware! Let alone the prices are ridiculous. read more

My favorite ice cream around. I love their shakes. They would have 5 stars, but their service is meh. They are never in a hurry. If you are in drive thru, fill up with gas and make sure you have used the restroom because you will be waiting. They typically take about 10 minutes per car. read more

Rodeo Whip - Different varieties of cones depending on what you crave - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - DeLand, Florida

I don't know maybe it's just common sense, but maybe you guys should update your hours on Google that people don't show up at 11 for an order and get swarmed by cops on every direction asking why am I there at 11:10, I waited the extra minutes because I thought maybe they were just behind on stuff or who ever was opening was late . WRONG, I thought that' updating your hours is common sense after this long being in Covid. My only response that I could tell to the cop was I love that ice cream it says they're open at 11 which then he stated to me that the hours have changed. Anyways that ice cream is great bur damn not that good to get swarmed by cops and playing 21 questions. read more

The most delicious ice cream especially the chocolate on a sugar cone with sprinkles!!!!! Soooo yummy

We've lived in this area for several months and always see a busy line, so we thought the place must have the best ice cream. I don't know if they do or do not; however, after three strikes we are out! The line simply does not move for the drive-through and I refuse to wait wait wait for something that is not necessary. Good luck with your business. I know help is hard to get, but three times in a row of piss poor service just does not fly with us. read more

We first tried Rodeo Whip on a Sunday afternoon, but quickly realized we would be waiting for a long time as there was a line out the door. So, we decided to come back after lunch on Monday. Coming from an area in the Midwest that has its share of gourmet ice cream (Graeters), Rodeo Whip is some of the best ice cream I've ever had. They have both soft serve and regular ice cream, shakes, ice cream sodas, and any other frozen treat you can think of. If you're in the DeLand area, make a stop at Rodeo Whip, you won't regret it. read more

How unfortunate for there to be one employee working at your shop on a Saturday. While a kiddie cone is nearly $4 for maybe a half of a cup. As prices continue to rise here your service continues to suffer. Where are the owners of this establishment and why haven't they stepped up today to serve their loyal community customers? This place which was one of my favorites is slowly becoming my least favorite. Kudos to the employee working today. I hope you get a huge bonus from the owners. To the owners stop raising your prices and negotiate with your vendors. read more

Can't ever go wrong with Rodeo Whip..with exception for the long wait time, it's def the best ice cream in town!

We drive 1 hour for the black cherry Sunday soft with no whip no nuts. It's absolutely amazing!!! The staff is super friendly too!!!

Absolute best homemade ice cream! We love Rodeo Whip and have been customers for 17 years.

We feel we were ignored because we are Latin. - we walk to the window and were told to wait because she had to make order - The second window opened and we were bypassed twice after we said we were next in line - I let the staff know several times that we were next and they should not by pass us twice and were ignored. - first time there and will not go back Very disappointed read more

It's such a shame it's such a good product is such a strong following can't get their act together. And the attitude sucks. I don't know if it's the pay or the motivation but it usually starts at the AT THE TOP. Please Mr. manager, Owner, do the right thing. There's no excuse for them to run a sloppy like that. I'll be back - it'll be either the last time or you will regain a customer read more

Came here on my lunch break with my friend. Mary was very polite and beyond helpful. She made me feel like her soul purpose was to please me and do whatever it takes to keep a smile on my face. She did it effortlessly. Very kind attitude and she has a great knowledge of what the store offers. read more

Rodeo Whip - Chocolate hard serve and turtle with chocolate chip. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - DeLand, Florida

When I recently stopped at Rodeo Whip with friends late in the afternoon, we were lucky that the store was empty. This gave us time to chat with the extremely enthusiastic girl behind the counter. When asked for recommendations, she started to reel off her favorites, her eyes opening wide with excitement as she described them. It always makes me happy to see someone so passionate about tasty ice cream. She said her favorite was cappuccino crunch, so I went for it in a small cone. A small cone being two very large scoops, so in reality, not all that small. The ice cream was fresh, had a delicious coffee taste, and had outstanding bits of chocolate chips and brownie within. All in all, utterly tremendous. My friends went for large cones, which are three scoops. They finished them, recommended the mint chocolate chip flavor, and also said they would go with two scoops the next time around. I wish I was local to this shop, because it was outstanding. I will definitely stop the next time I visit my buddies. read more

Oh, German chocolate ice cream. Where have you been all my life? So good, so yummy. It would be easy to bypass this place, but if you are in the area, it's totally worth pulling in. Don't let the exterior fool you. I've gone there for 10-15 years, but only occasionally as their hard ice cream flavors are so decedent, I don't want to overindulged. They have soft serve as well, but I can't get beyond the scrumptious hard ice cream flavors. Go big, or go home. Two scoops in a chocolate dipped, nut covered, waffle cone. The German chocolate is made with a generous amount of walnuts (instead of the more traditional pecans), with chunks of chocolate cake embedded in the ice cream. The second scoop is my wildcard, maybe peanut butter, maybe strawberry, so many options! I always go during off-peak hours and never have to wait, but based on signs and how they route the cars, I believe there could be quite a wait during peak times (still worth it though!) read more
