Driving around Manteo and OBX we decided to search for some ice cream. We stopped in the Olde Towne Creamery and felt right at home. The hot dogs filled the spot in our bellies and at a great price. We sat with the owners and talked about the great areas to visit and all the sites. The ice cream was next and it was magical. The cookie dough was creamy and the perfect texture. My wife had the mango ice and loved it. A nice quaint little shop with seats to enjoy their fares. We sat for a spell enjoying their company and talking about the island and its many activities. The next day we enjoyed our visit so we went back. We arrived early and we were offered a great breakfast of French toast and blueberries. Later returning for more delicious ice cream. Again we had a wonderful visit with the owner and his wife. Both delightful people who made us feel like family. We promised to return again and try the pizza. They assured us it would be worth the 4 day drive. Can't say enough about the Old Towne Creamery. Super stuff and great service. read more

Definitely the best ice cream in the area but not my all time favorite. Ice cream flavors were not overly sweet and were very stable and did not melt quickly. I like creamier ice cream and this was a bit less rich but definitely not icey. Tried the strawberry cheesecake, and black raspberry chocolate. All were good! The sherbert was also very bright and citrusy. The server at the window was also friendly. They have a small parking lot as well off the main street so no worries about street parking! read more

Quick, short wait ice cream during peak beach season! Our extended family (toddlers to grandparents) enjoyed the peaceful, clean experience. Certainly the best place to get ice cream in the area! read more

The guy who took our order, After hours, was so nice! He said of course I'll feed you, and made our pizza. We'll definitely patronize this place again! The pizza truly was the best I've had in a super long time. I'll search them out again! read more

Friendly, fast service. Conveniently located on the way to the Aquarium. Delicious ice cream. What else matters? read more

Just went here. Got a chocolate shake and my boo got a vanilla shake. We planned on going to Dunkin' originally. Saw this cute little place on the way. Definitely worth going to. Milkshake was made with real Ice cream. Owner was really kind and made sure I got some napkins before I left. Support small businesses! read more

Nice little ice cream shop/ fast food place. We didn't order any hot food but they had burgers and hot dogs. All of the ice cream they serve is Hershey's. Service was fast and friendly. Take your ice cream outside to one of the many chairs or picnic tables. Bathroom is outside around the back. read more

Place is delicious! We came two days in a row just for the Cappuccino Crunch. It was yummy both times. $10 for 2 double scoop waffle cones & worth every penny. Bathroom is outside in an outhouse style room. Employees friendly & place is nicely air conditioned. read more

My wife and I ordered a pizza and ice cream here. For being such a small place the pizza was excellent and made on site. The ice cream was delicious as well. The owner claims his pizza is the best on the island, while I do not doubt him I wouldn't to go anywhere else for pizza in OBX. read more

Olde Towne Creamery has been around for five years now. Though locally owned, I'd never been until finally stopping in this evening right before it closed at 6pm. It's right off the Main Highway in Manteo on the corner of Ananias Dare in a building that also hosts Coastal Realty. The actual Creamery is really small. You walk in to a room with a few tables. To the left is a long narrow room where the line is to place your food order. While in line, you can look at the real estate listings around the island. The counter is basically the ice cream selection. The narrow room makes it hard to see the ice cream selection, but they do have quite a variety of creative choices. Most places have some kind of Heavenly Hash or Rocky Road. This one did not. However, it had one of my other faves -- a Minty Mint Chocolate Chip. We immediately took it outside since it was a bright sunshiny afternoon/evening. Most buildings line the greenery and plants along a building with mulch. Oddly enough, they line theirs with broken glass. It's an interesting sight to see. Definitely very colorful and a creative way to keep people off the plants. We enjoyed eating our ice cream at a bench in the yard with lots of green grass at our feet. read more

Outstanding burger and fries. Ordered a regular cheeseburger, a super burger, fries and 2 Gatorades = about $28 Both burgers were good but the deluxe one was outstanding. Had a shake for desert and it was very good. read more

Excellent! We had a pizza and 2 burgers and fries between the three of us and then went back for a big brownie sundae. Wow it was all awesome. Friendly and quick. Casual and comfortable. Definitely will be back when in the area again. read more

Went for ice cream. Our family of four had no complaints. All the flavors were good; the price was far less than some other OBX places; the service was good. I wouldn't rave about it, but I would go again if in the area. read more

Good service, assume it was the owner. However, way overpriced for Hershey's ice cream. Also the cones were stale and tasted as thought they were a week old. I went off pictures on yelp and assumed they also had homemade ice cream but no go. What's up with all the Hershey's ice cream in the OBX? read more

The steak burger and all beef hot dog was amazing, and the fries were even better. The man who served us was super nice, and went out of his way to give us recommendations on where to go to enjoy OBX! read more

My family and I visited Olde Towne Creamery today for lunch. The NC pork bbq was one of the best I have ever had! My wife and child both had the NY style hot dog and were very pleased. I would definitely recommend this place when passing through Manteo. read more

Excellent service, delicious ice cream creations and a homemade cannoli that was almost as good as the streets of NYC! read more

The Super Burger is absolute perfection! My oldest son had the spicy chicken and said it was the best he's ever had. My youngest son has gone several times with his dad before and raved about the icecream which is why I decided to come for myself today. The people are so kind and the location so convenient. We now have a new favorite local spot! read more

Great food and awesome service. Highly recommend the burgers, fries, hot dogs, and best pizza ever.

My family decided to go here after exploring the island for the afternoon. We always love supporting small and local shops when we're on vacation.The gentleman who made our ice creams and milkshakes, I believe the owner, was extremely friendly and very quick in preparing everything for all 8 of us. We had a variety of flavors, all delicious, and approved by the kids. While we were sitting outside, the guy also ran out and brought us samples of the peanut butter chocolate fudge, also really good. Overall, great experience. read more

Don't waste your time or money. Ice cream was soupy and the cones were stale. I would not recommend this place for a quality scoop of ice cream. The Hersheys ice cream was poor at best. My boyfriend and I had a nice dinner and were trying to decide between the Creamery and DQ....we should have gone to DQ for a blizzard! read more

Ice cream cone was good, not what I ordered though. Service was rude, after pulling the ice cream cone holder away from me before I had taken cone out, thereby dumping cone onto ground, abruptly slams window without an apology, returns with make up cone, once again not flavor i ordered, and closes window without a word of apology or thanks. read more

Came on vacation and was looking for something to eat. Drove by this place and saw burgers amid all the ice cream ads. Everything was made fresh, so it took about 10 minutes (I was warned). It was well worth the wait. My wife and my daughter say it's one of the best burgers they've had. My son says he likes the fries (they are baked and very good). Walk-up ordering and outdoor seating. read more

The GREATEST place on earth I come down from Maryland to visit my dad in manteo every couple of months and each trip I eat here at least 3 times. Never before has a single person made me so happy. The owner of this restaurant could have all of my money just to keep running his business. Not only is he the best salesman I have ever seen, but he can make the most delicious food you will ever eat. I guarantee that anyone who consumes a meal crafted by this establishment will have their life forever changed by the experience. If you aren't satisfied with this restaurant, you're wrong. I love this place more than I could love a human child. Sincerely. read more

Key lime pie I cream! Yummmmm!!! but alright service. The yelp review says they are open until 9:30 but when I got there the employee (who i assume is the owner judging by the grand opening picture on the wall) rushed us saying they were closing soon. read more

Amazing! My family and I loved it! Great ice cream and even better service. COVID friendly too!!

Located in the heart of Manteo this quaint shop offers BBQ, all beef Brooklyn style hotdogs, and burgers. If you have room after that enjoy hand dipped Hershey's ice cream or shakes. Bill was very personable AND it turns out a fellow Nittany lion. :) we went around 4:30 after our aquarium trip. It wasn't busy during that time which was great for us. Loved it. Very clean, courteous at the counter and good food. Highly recommend. read more

Logged into Yelp looking for a place for a good cup of coffee. Yelp suggested this place, but they only serve coffee during the winter. Espresso was available - it was very tasty, as was the ice cream. read more

Me and my stopped in for first time,was decent service at first was great.Went back in about 20 min later to buy some fudge and the owner wasn't as nice or talkative.I had paid with my credit card and a few hrs later noticed my credit card was used to make purchases under my name.WTF.All lead back to that THIEF OF A OWNER!Beware and spread the word like I am.Charges are being filed.What a piece of s&it. read more

This is THE spot to get ice cream on Roanoke Island. We have been here a number of times and the service is always excellent. The family who owns it also have a real estate business and are big supporters of the military. They are hard workers who deserve your business! read more

They were out of the caramel apple pie that I went there specifically to order. And the place just looked creepy. Dark and sold a lot more junk than just ice cream. Jewelry filled most of the food cases. Just weird. read more

Stopped here while on vacation looking for a root beer float. Looking at the menu before coming helped but when arriving the menu seemed so much bigger than what yelp showed. The owner was more then wonderful! We told him we didn't have plans for the day and he went out of his way to tell us about different great places to stop and fun things to do. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Friendly people but complete crooks! We used our bank card and as soon as we left, the owner went online and bought 2 pairs of shoes with our card. Luckily we were able to stop one purchase before it shipped. The other order with puma.com made us wait for the Wells Fargo investigation to finish! Only pay cash when you buy from them. Their ice cream ain't worth that headache! read more

Great Ice Cream, And the Best BBQ sandwich on the island. Definitely a must while in the Outer Banks.

We were there on vacation...got a burger, BBQ sandwich, and a hot dog. It was all so good! I agree with another reviewer that it was dark, but I assumed they were just conserving energy. It doesn't distract from the good food! The ice cream....omg, so good! I got the banana pudding ice cream and it was hands down the best! Def worth going to, as long as you're not looking for a huge menu. read more

Ummmm.....YEAH you want to check this place out!! Friendly service and super yummy ice cream, shakes, floats, sundaes, you name it. We found it by accident the first time. We made a special trip back to the island the next day just to come back here.The only thing I have against this place is that it is a 17 hour drive from where I live. Thought the OBX would be a once and done locale, but if we get even within a couple of hours from there again, we will put in the effort to drive a little further and stop by here. read more

Super friendly and awesome Hershey's ice cream! They'll take any flavor and make it into a shake for you. A single serve cup is around $2.50... worth every penny! read more
