This place is absolutely a 100/10 in my opinion. Their frozen yogurt is one of the creamiest frozen…read moreyogurts I've tried in my life and I don't believe it can be beat. Not to mention they switch up the flavors every day which makes you want to go back. If you get their child size and up they will layer your toppings of choice with the yogurt ensuring you never run out of toppings! Don't be fooled by the names of their sizes though because their portions are abysmally large but it's perfect. You can sample the flavors before ordering and I recommend doing so but don't be those people who ask to sample a basic flavor like chocolate especially if there's a huge line (I've seen it happen before). There is almost always a line if you go in the evening time but if you happen to have some time during off peak hours (daytime during weekdays), I suggest going then. The service is really efficient though so the line moves fast.

This is a local yogurt spot near my aunts house. The outside is very unique so definitely a spot…read morethat catches the eye when you drive by. There are different sizes, starting with the cone (which I didn't want bc I'm a slow eater and knew it would get messy) and the next size is "baby" (pictured below). Although it's a hefty size for it to be called "baby", it's a pretty good size for the price. I ordered cookies and cream with butterscotch I think? And it is what it is - nothing too crazy or fancy. But a pretty good and standard yogurt spot if you're craving a cold treat on a hot day. Only caveat is it's cash only. But no issues aside from that.

You gotta give credit to Baskin Robbins, they were here way before all these trendy ice cream…read morespots. Parking was super easy with plenty of open spots. When we walked in, there were two employees behind the counter and one immediately greeted us. While we were browsing, he made sure to acknowledge us and let us know he'd help when we were ready, which was great. There were so many flavors to choose from. The flavor of the month was Banana Dulce de Leche, but I was feeling nostalgic so I went with what childhood me would have picked, a scoop of cotton candy. My husband got a double with Cookie Monster and Rocky Road. This is exactly what you want from ice cream. Creamy and sweet. The cotton candy flavor instantly took me back to being a kid. We ended up sitting outside on the tables they offer to enjoying our ice cream which made it even better. I'll definitely be coming back, not just for the flavors but for the attentive and efficient service too. They are also doing flavor flights now which sounds like fun!!

I love coming to this particular Baskin-Robbins Store.

There is plenty of easy parking all around the store. This store is usually not too crowded at all, and that is one of the great reasons i love to come here. Some of the other Baskins-Robbins stores can be so very busy! The staff here has always been extremely welcoming and kind. You are greeted right away when you enter, and someone is always there to assist you in your selections of the ice cream flavor of your choice. IK always prefer to order a single scoop of Pralines and Cream ice Cream served in a pointed sugar cone. It is so very good and highly recommended! You can also buy the ice cream to take home in a tub.

Plenty of parking available too, which made the whole visit easy. I went with the double patty smash burger topped with aioli, and it did not disappoint -- juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. You could tell the beef was good quality and the smash technique gave it that perfect crispy edge. The vibe inside is laid-back with sports playing on the TVs, which made for a nice casual lunch spot. Will definitely be coming back to try more off the menu!"

Why have a "loyalty program" when they add points then reverse it later that same day. I went today and ordered my usual 2 burgers, fries and drinks. I gave my phone number for the Points. I then asked Vieann H (who identified herself as the manager) when I showed her my receipt from last time I visited and questioned why they reversed the previous points and why I got none from this receipt I produced. She tried to act like it was my fault I received no points and couldn't tell me why the points were reversed from the previous visit (even after she went back in the office to do the research. She told me when came back from the office, she could see all my order history but she couldn't give me back any points from my 2 previous visits. I told her this will be the last time I come and she is losing a customer over 29 points. SHE COULD CARE LESS. Her response to this was "I went in the back to do research". Beware! They don't even deserve the 1 Star I had to give them.
