Soft Serve with Rainbow Sprinkles
John G.

These ladies are so kind and serve the best soft serve in the area!! Today my 3 year old daughter decided she wanted sprinkles after our order had been prepared and the young lady serving us was more than happy to oblige. I offered to pay but she refused. It's the little things in life Asheville!! I'll be sure to leave her a juicy tip our next time through!

Mini banana split cup

Drive thru line moved really fast. The young lady at the window was super nice and friendly. I got the mini banana split cup and it was amazing. Highly recommend!!!

I think even the smallest of towns have had something similar to this Tastee Freeze over the years, it's building may have been abandoned or repurposed by now as the mom and pop operations entered it second or third generation or the branded ice cream stores have opened with their new fandango twist on something as old as ice cream, ice creams probably began around 500 BC in the Achaemenid Empire (Persia) I'm sure it was a much different take on the product we ate as a kid and even more different than today's novelties with the advancement in refrigeration that allows creativity that is only limited by one's imagination. This little shop looked closed from the street as I drove by, but at the last minute I did see a car appear down the side of the building where apparently the drive-up window is, so I flipped a U-ey like any good Floridian would do and whipped the Fiat into a space right out front. Like most of the old fashioned ice cream shops the entire front window was plastered with placards of the treats offered here and there were piles of bananas ripening in the glass below the advertisements. I tend to stick to the basics when it comes to ice cream so a cup of the vanilla soft serve suited me fine. Like most shops of this nature the young employees didn't seem to be overly motivated but they were polite and got the product to me and I left a generous tip to their astonishment. This place didn't bring a tear to my eye and it didn't have me reminiscing about years gone by but it sure did bring some relief from the Carolina sun...

My review

This place is SOo good, my 5 year old son got a milkshake from here and he really lik it,, he loves the taste and the smell and he likes the smell and he doesn't even like the taste but I don't think it's the best taste for me to eat at all but it was a great treat to get him a drink with his family at his place in town for the first day in the new place I live and I was there a couple years back when I went there for the last year!

You can order ahead of time and then Drive thru to pick up!

Yep, just like the one in the John Cougar song. Don't expect home made ice cream here. Soft serve with lots of gooey toppings.

It's frozen custard at it's down-and-out drive-in ice cream stand at its best on a hot and muggy evening.

After stopping by the arboretum to see the trolls, it was time to grab a small lunch on our way…read moreback to downtown Asheville. We passed Celebrity's Hotdogs on the way to the trolls, and agreed to give it a try on the way home. We arrived around 2:30, so definitely off peak dining time, which was nice. We walked in and right up to the counter, and after a quick review of the menu went with a #1, a hot dog all the way, chips and a canned drink for $6! I explored the space a little while I waited for them to call my order number. The walls are covered floor to ceiling with nascar memorabilia...well, even parts of the ceiling. Not my thing, but I know others will appreciate it The food didn't take long, and it hit the spot. Tasty dog, generous toppings, friendly staff and a great price. Honestly, this probably best deal you'll get in Asheville. I'd definitely recommend this spot to others traveling in the area, especially on a budget.

Best way to beat the 5 o'clock traffic on I-26 bypassing the Ashville area. Has tons of racing history and memorabilia all over the walls. Makes you feel like your home back in time but in a classy way not a run down old place. It's well kept with plenty of parking and easy access on and off the road. We found it as a detour to go to to get out of the traffic jam 3 years ago and I've never missed an opportunity to stop on our way. Going to Waynesville in Lake Junaluska.

Had the chance to visit Juicy Lucy's Burger Bar and Grill on a rainy holiday weekend while in…read moreAsheville, and it turned out to be a fantastic find! We went all out with appetizers and main courses, and everything was excellent. For starters, my husband ordered the buffalo chicken bites and I got the fried pickles. Both were perfectly prepared, and we thoroughly enjoyed them. The burgers were the absolute highlight. I ordered the "Bacon Crunch" style Juicy Lucy, which came stuffed with cheese and topped with bacon jam, pickles, crisp bacon slices, and potato chips for a perfect crunch. My husband went for the "Lucy Loco" burger, which came loaded with jalapeños. Both burgers had incredible flavor, were an ample size, and hit the spot perfectly. The sides were just as impressive. I had the sweet potato fries, and my husband ordered the fried green beans--which were uniquely delicious and really well done. To top it all off, our server, Carla, was very nice and incredibly attentive throughout our meal. Juicy Lucy's is a must-visit, and I will definitely be stopping by again on my next trip to Asheville!

I should have left when I walked in and washed my hands and saw the bathroom was out of paper…read moretowels. I stayed anyway because I was already there and it seemed not too crowded. We ordered an appetizer that came out the same time as our food. That was the second indication that this was not the best. Then I found a hair in the fried pickles I was eating. I just sat it down and started on my steak. I ordered a ribeye medium. The steak ended up being cooked in evenly. Half was well done and the other half was rare. The steak was a cheap cut and mostly fat and gristle. The fries were cold too. We were sat near a family with inattentive parents with three kids, making the entire experience just that little bit extra. The waitress stoped by once about two minutes after all the food and apps came out and then one last time to give the check. So if you enjoy poor hygiene, a slow paced staff, bad food, and atmosphere that will make your blood boil, then Juicy Lucy's may be the perfect spot for you. However, if you have any standards, I'd suggest going elsewhere. Sincerely, I hope your team improves but I will not return to find out. The only positive was the one beer I tried was decent.
