    The Elle Belly
    Rachel H.

    Came here with my family after a warm day at the Zoo. We were pleasantly greeted upon entry. Our orders came out relatively quick and tasted great. It got rather busy so the seating filled up quickly. The atmosphere was fun and family friendly. And the bathrooms were very clean. We would certainly come back again if in the area.

    We stumbled upon this place and decided to try it out. Unfortunately we couldn't experience them hand making our ice cream because the wait was about 45 min. Thankfully they had some flavors pre made and we were still able to enjoy the rolled ice cream. I recommend anyone who hasn't tried this place pace to try it.

    I liked this place. I like that the ice cream is made right in front of you. I will say that it does take a little bit of time sometimes the wait for ice cream can be up to 45 minutes because they're so busy. Which it's hand made in front of you totally get why but sometimes I don't have that kind of time. But overall I recommend it!

    The menu, OR the list of delicious!

    Hmmm. $7.25 for a cup of ice cream. Finally tried the new place. Other reviews are correct. A loooong wait for a cup of ice cream. A vanilla base is poured on a freeze pad and your ingredients are added in. Mix, mix, chop, chop, and then spread out very thinly. When it freezes, a putty knife rolls it into tight rolls that are put in your cup. Top with sauces or goodies and your ready! My caramel Wall-e was ok, but Glenda's Levi was a chocolate lovers dream. I can't wait to try some of the other creations. Was there $7.25 worth of ice cream. Definitely not. Was there $7.25 worth of tasty deliciousness? Absolutely! We'll be back.

    This was a taste of heaven. I had a sweet tooth and looked at plenty of ice cream spots. I have made it my mission to try absolute nothing that I can get in my hometown. The roll shack was a true success! I had the Walle! It was soo rich and tasty. I'm a banana freak for many reasons so the ice cream made my day! The best thing is they willingly ask if you are an essential worker like medical, policemen and other public service careers and have me a 10% discount! Friendly staff!! Thanks guys for support the essential workers! If you are in this area. This place is with a try!!!

    Strawberry and Graham cracker

    Wow! We were blown away. My family came into Abilene and were looking for some ice cream. This looked different so we gave it a try and were amazed at the ingenuity of how the ice cream is made and rolled into these amazing creations. They have their own flavors and ideas or you can create your own. I highly recommend the strawberry and Graham cracker flavor. Best ice cream ever. My kids got the Oreo cookies and cream with chocolate option and loved it. If you come to Abilene you will not be sorry. It is a must try.

    The Tito, very good!

    Great place and a different way to have dessert. The ice cream is really good and the staff is very friendly. They have great outdoor seating and you don't have to wait that long for your ice cream. We will be back! I recommend The Tito (coffee based).

    Just a rather quick review. Roll Shack is one of the avant-garde type ice cream shops that have cropped up in the last few years. It is an ice cream dish that is made from a "cream type" base that is poured into a round cylinder and then it is manipulated on an ice cold platter to incorporate your ingredients of choice and to thicken up the base. After everything is mixed and the ice cream is the right consistency it is spread ultra thin on top of the platter. Then a putty knife, for lack of a better term, is used to scrape the ice cream from the platter into long rolls which then get placed in a cup and topped with goodies. It's quite a lot of ice cream and the toppings are thoughtful. I enjoyed it. Because of the method, it takes about 3-5 min for them to make each cup. If it is at all busy this brings the place to a halt quickly. Even with 3 stations up and running u can plan on waiting 20-30 min easily. They told us that at the really busy times, people have waited 45-60 min. Overall the ice cream is pretty good and the staff were very friendly. 4 Stars

    I rarely write negative reviews, but I'm gonna while my feelings are high. I took my daughter to…read moreMood for the first time to celebrate "Senior skip day" and my first impression was super strong nauseating cleaning product smell. The 2nd thing I noticed was there's only 4 flavors none of which were great. Everything was clean and nicely displayed. The lady at the front was friendly and frankly a beautiful young lady. It is my fault I really did not research prices at all, I knew it would be expensive as these places always are but I was expecting something like $12 maybe. Our total was $19! For 2 small cups!! I was shocked! I could've gone out, bought all the fruit and a gallon of ice cream for that much! Good Lord, that pricing just seems excessive. Pretty sure that's what I'll be doing from now on. Lol

    It was my sons birthday so I took him and a couple friends as well as my two girls to Mood…read more Apparently it was "no weight Wednesday," where they have one size however full for $5. I will say, that was nice. They were all very excited. The boys asked for sample cups and the girl said they didn't have them while telling them she had just cleaned the counter for them not to lean on it. I looked over and two of the boys were filling their cups a bit and tasting, as I was opening my mouth to tell them to stop- the girl says from the counter that now she's going to have to clean those too. Then I asked about the 6 out of 14 flavors not working, she said they were out. One of the boys asked if one of the machines was supposed to be watery, she just walks over and turns that light on top of the flavor off. The coffee machine was broken as well. I honestly wasn't impressed with her attitude- I know kids are annoying but it was only 6:20 and they closed at 8. The kiddos played a couple of board games that are offered while they ate their frozen yogurt and she was correcting them constantly. Was just hoping for more options and possibly a happier employee present. The place was immaculate but the employees hair was long, up in a hair tie but over her shoulders while she was was scrubbing everything we touched.
