Review Visit: July 11th, 2016…read more Don't grandparents make the best food. While visiting Catfish Bend Casino, I figured I would see if there were any Ice Cream Shacks in the area. Luckily, I found one! So after the casino, I hit up Grandpa's to get some sweets. Parking here is pretty ample, so that's a huge plus. Inside is pretty spacious and they have a lot of flavors to choose from. Unlike a lot of Ice Cream Shacks, they only served ice cream and ice cream related things. No hot dogs, tenderloins, french fries here. I don't remember what I ordered from here, but I do remember it was pretty good. It scratched my itch but nothing beyond that. What really turned me off about this place was the worker behind the counter. His hygiene left a lot to be desired, which is reflected in my personal rating. I don't remember what he did, but it set off a red flag or two in my head as I watched him. But besides the one worker, it was a nice little place. I figured Burlington would offer a lot but this seemed to be the only ice cream shack that I could find on Yelp/Google.

Today was a beautiful 70 degree day so my Brother and I obviously had to go get some ice cream. but…read moreNo be did not go to Coldstone Creamery, or DQ, we went to Grandpas, for one simple reason. HOMEMADE!! This is a locally owned icecream shop, so no they don't have a fancy sign, no they don't have fancy cups, but I didn't come here for, fancy. I came to Grandpas to try their homemade icecream whose recipes have been passed down from generation to generation. I had the medium cone with one scoop of Dark Chocolate and one scoop Salted Caramel, and it was Delicious!! The chocolate was rich and the caramel was so smooth and creamy. You can taste the love! They also have a big selection of flavors that very from day to day and may sellout if you don't get there quick enough. You can buy a pint to take home with you, or even a brownie or cookie that they use to make their sundaes. Duh they have sundaes!! And I have to come back and try them! So should you!

And then I went back today and I ordered the same thing. They got me a dish, but they put strawberry chunks in it. It shouldn't come with strawberry chunks. It was like I ordered strawberry ice cream even though I didn't. I ordered a strawberry twist and I didn't get what I wanted, and there was almost an entire strawberry that I almost choked on

I'm not sure if they take credit cards, but I'm yet to spend more than $5 unless it's a 2 person order! I need to watch my gluttony considering their prices lol

This place is great!! Ice cream is soft serve, but just a bit harder. Doesn't melt quickly like…read moreother places. They serve it in Styrofoam cups so it won't melt right away on those hot days. Definitely will stop there again when I'm in Fairfield. Not open in the winter, so plan ahead.

Ordered a "deluxe" 1000 Grand which ended up being a chocolate shake with rice crispies in it for $8. Went back in and asked if it was made right? Rude girl was so extremely annoyed with me for this question. Nice boy told me they could make me a different one but went back to working and cleaning so had to ask rude girl any questions. Ended up with something I didn't really want to order but just wanted out of there. We won't be back.

Come on, people, this isn't that hard! Wasn't busy, kind of an out-of-the-way location. The cash-only policy is also a hassle. Time to come on up to the 21st century. Not going back.
