Summary for the busy executive: Nostalgia Creamery markets…read moreitself as a place that evokes memories of the good old days. But just as importantly, it is helping people make memories (and enjoy delicious treats) in the here and now. Full review: Mendenhall is one of the most charming small towns in central Mississippi. At the top of its Main Street sits a grand, neo-classical courthouse. At its bottom is a lumbering old hotel. In-between is Nostalgia Creamery, adding no small amount of charm of its own, and dishing up delicious ice cream. The space is decorated by a mastermind. Glowing lightbulbs read "Nostalgia Creamery." Painted ice cream cones adorn the walls. There is pink everywhere, alongside neon green. Some vinyl records and an old cash register (covered in candy) add to the ambiance. The whole package is one of a vague sense of fondness for old things: there's a touch of the 1950s, a touch of the 1980s, and a whole lot of cuteness. The space isn't just about the atmosphere. Customers are here for ice cream --- and ice cream they receive. There are about two dozen flavors to choose from, along with the expected options for cones, toppings, and so forth. The staff can make any flavor into a milkshake, which is what I went for: a peach milkshake on a 100-degree day absolutely hit the spot. For those who like candy, it's for sale by the pound. If you want to linger inside the darling space (and who wouldn't), there's free wi-fi and ample seating. Every time that I have been here, the staff behind the counter (mostly teens and young people) have been unfailingly polite and welcoming to everybody who has come in. This is a highly recommended business for those who enjoy sweet treats, and a wonderful addition to Mendenhall's downtown.

Well this was my first time visiting The Scoop, and I can only review the malt that I had. All I…read morecan say is OMG it was great! I had a butterscotch, roasted pecan, double malted malt, and it was fantastic. The ice cream is very good quality and that plays a great part in the overall flavor. Few places make actual malts these days, but this place does and they are good at it too. The young man that served me could have played the low talker on an episode of Seinfeld, as I had to lean all the way across the counter to hear what he was saying, and I get that some people are just very shy; but other than that I really enjoyed the ice cream. Will definitely be going back even though it means traveling from Madison to get it.

They were a solid 4 stars when they first opened a year ago and I have dined there 6-7 times since…read morebut this last time today was not the same. Its still pretty good compared to most fast food burger joints but they have started cheaping out a bit. Hopefully this was a mistake but somehow I don't think so. The burger patties were super thin which may be the result of outrageously expensive beef prices which I can actually understand and sympathize with but their previously generous portions of fries and tots were not so generous anymore. I was actually surprised and somewhat disappointed. Left still kind of hungry with a feeling that their great reputation has slipped somewhat. Hope I'm wrong. I'll give them another shot in a couple if weeks and hope it was just an off day.

Once you're are in the drive-thru line you can't get out so prepare to wait…read more We waited in line for 30 minutes for us to get up to the window and order a concrete with Kit Kat to be told that they don't have Kit Kat. Kat Kat was listed on the menu and when I asked the young lady at the window if they were out of it or did they have all the other candies available, she said we don't have it. So we ordered two concrete with chocolate chips instead. Their menu says the concretes come with vanilla custard but they handed me chocolate. When I ask why they gave us chocolate instead, the girl swore up and don't that I told her chocolate custard. I wanted to spend my money at a local business but between the long line and argumentative employees, you're better off just going to sonic or some other chain ice cream shop.

First off, this place looks cool. It has the whole retro thing going on. Bop's Frozen Custard kind…read moreof reminds me of a 1950's type diner and the staff was definitely friendly and professional. Looking at the menu, I saw what they called the Peanut Butter Mountain and being somewhat obsessed with ice cream and peanut butter, I went with this option. The Peanut Butter Mountain is vanilla custard, Reese's peanut butter cups, peanut butter sauce, and hot fudge. Let me say that this turned out to be an amazing choice and the price was definitely more than fair. A large version of this was under eight dollars. As I said, it is more than fair in terms of pricing and again, this was definitely an amazing dessert. Bop's Frozen Custard is a wonderful choice for a frozen treat and I would definitely recommend this establishment.

Add sprinkles and chocolate drizzles and the presentation looks fun and is quite a spectacle but the price is far higher than its worth. If you get the "specialty' jar, which is a basic small mason jar, the price jumps another $4 to almost $20 for a sundae. The strawberries and cream cheesecake. Blue Bell Strawberrry cheesecake ice cream with a slice of FROZEN cheesecake and Redi-whip. Do you know what its like to TRY to eat frozen cheesecake with a plastic spoon?? Cost and quality aside, the staff were friendly and we were served quickly when we walked in. It only took a few minutes from order for our sundae's to be delivered. The place is relatively small and seats are close together. Easier to make new friends that way! There is also outdoor seating, if you desire to enjoy your ice cream with room to stretch out a bit. It was an interesting experience but the premium cost vs mediocre quality of the ice cream doesn't add up for me.

There is no indication anywhere in the business as to the cost of the product, only that it is determined by weight. What is the cost per weight, what is the average cost to the consumer? There is also no notice provided to the customer that there will be an extra charge if paying by credit card, your total just magically changes and when you review the receipt there's a "Checkout Fee" applied. The employees were completely unaware of this and really didn't seem to care about anything other than their cell phones.
