    I ordered mine in a cone with extra sprinkles and he hardly had any Oreos... $10.15 for these two small items! Outrageous

    What the heck happened to this place!??? Where to start....1st, I've been coming here a few times a year for 20 years. June 4th 2022 was our 1st time of the season this year. It was a beautiful warm Saturday night. We passed a few other local owned ice cream/custard places coming here that were all packed with people. This place USE TO be packed! there were 2 sets of people in front of us. That's it. So with us that's 6 people in line. There was a sign that said, because of understaff service may be slower. Well let me tell you, I counted SIX employees! It looked to be staffed about the same as I always remembered! However everyone seemed to be moving in super slowwwww motion, it was odd. I saw a couple older woman working the back filling orders looking like owners maybe but also looking confused. All employees STILL were being made to wear masks even tho that's been lifted like 6 months ago and all other businesses and life in general has gone back to normal except this place. I wouldn't work here either if they are still forcing workers to wear them! But still, SIX employees, you'd think could serve the SIX people in line fairly quickly, but that was not the case. Service was faster when it was busier and had less employees back in the day! The set up is weird now. You use to go in and up to a window to order and pay directly to a server. Now they do so many extra steps for what I'm not sure. They closed the inside and added windows to that part, so now there's 2 employees just walking back and forth in the covered section taking our orders at one window and then giving them to the 4 other employees inside at the other window. Also, they haven't even moved a cash register to the window we order from, so the worker at our window takes your money, puts it on a tray and also gives that with your order to the other window inside. So we waited 20 minutes for our simple order and to get our change back!! 20 minutes!! Not just that, but we ordered what we always did, the only thing is, I asked for extra crunchy sprinkles on my small vanilla cone. To which she told me the extra sprinkles will be served in a bowl. Fine i thought, I can add my own extra. Well not only did my custard NOT COME ON A CONE LIKE I ORDERED, but there were NO EXTRA CRUNCHY SPRINKLES! The girl who took our order just looked at me and said 'oh, sorry...' in a slow bewildered way. She's like in her late 20's, maybe everyone there oxygen deprived so working slower and seemingly spaced out, I don't know. Besides my small vanilla cone which now was just a child sized looking portion in a cup with few crunchy things on it, my spouse ordered a small vanilla flurry with Oreos in it. It literally had a few Oreo crumbles mixed in on the top and the bottom half was just vanilla custard... we paid $10.15 for these 2 tiny not made well or to our order! I even looked at it when they handed it to us and I said out loud, 'I paid $10 for this!!!!!????" Then I added "so sad, we will NEVER be coming back here again!" Now we know why there were only 2 sets of people infront of us on a beautiful warm June evening. This place won't be around much longer...NEO has so many awesome local owned ice cream/custard places that aren't charging super inflated prices and with good service. Don't bother with this place. So sad

    Best frozen custard in Ohio! This seasonal, family run drive in has been going at it longer than I've been alive and is still going strong! The make vanilla, chocolate and a flavor of the day fresh but have other offerings as well. Check out their FB page to see what's on deck. Plenty of outdoor seating to gobble up the goodies. Don't go for Akron's chain stores, drive to Kent and get the best.

    Flavor of the day: mint chocolate chip dipped in chocolate

    Simply the best custard in the area. I enjoyed chocolate today. But the Flavors of the Day are amazing. You will not be disappointed.

    Frozen custard is good, but limited flavors and smaller portions than last year. Very awkward drive-up window.

    The vanilla and chocolate custards are creamy and not overwhelmingly sweet. A nice local institution to visit after a meal out.

    But if you miss your favorite flavor, you can buy a pint for at least a few days afterwards if they have leftover stock.

    I really like the quality and taste of their product and the cleanliness of the stand. They're…read morealways friendly and they offer a few great options. Often I go for the Storm, blended mix ins within a soft serve ice cream cup, similar but way better than a DQ Blizzard. Parking can be a challenge with the angle of the road compared to the lot, but take it slow and you'll be fine. I'm really hard pressed to find a better soft serve around and the price is fair compared to local chains that also have soft serve. Most ice cream places implode when they receive multiple sundae orders, but they always seem to be well staffed and well trained in delivering the product with a sense of urgency. I think they take great care at serving at the proper temperature for the soft serve because I've never had a "soupy" treat like I often receive at DQ.

    This place is a treasure. It can't be anything less than a 5! Delicious soft serve ice cream, and I…read morebelieve they said they have been in business for decades. I couldn't decide on the pistachio ice cream or a traditional hot fudge sundae. The grandma type figure behind the window suggested a hot fudge sundae WITH PISTACHIO ice cream instead of vanilla. I light bulb went off and I was all in. I thought, YEAH, that is exactly what I want. I order and ended up sitting outside on one of the picnic tables in the cool April air enjoying my post dinner sundae. It was perfect. Great prices, and friendly service. It was a great find being from out of town and so glad I stopped by. I really enjoyed the experience and the ice cream. Recommend it and if I am back in the area will make a trip back.
