Please save some space after your dinner for this -- don't be like me... eating until I'm full and then STILL trying to get a double scoop. I couldn't do it... oh but I did do it. And it was WORTH IT! All that sugar got to my head and I didn't even think to take a pic of my ice cream... Get yourself a waffle cone though, so good! The folks here are patient and sweet. You're gonna want to try a few things before committing. They're all good!! There may be a line depending on when you go but it goes by pretty quickly. If you start to get impatient, just remember that when you get to the front, you don't want anyone rushing you while you try all those delicious favors.

They have over a dozen flavors of ice cream. Some are listed on the display while others are on signs on the wall above the ice cream. I got the "Halley's Comet" single scoop in a waffle cone. It was vanilla & chocolate ice cream w/ caramel ribbons & Carmel truffles. It was good & reasonably priced. They have 3 tables inside so it's smaller, there's some benches outside too. I would for sure stop here again if I'm in the area! Such a nice treat.

The staff are so friendly and upbeat, and they always go above and beyond. Most of them are students, so be generous with tips because they absolutely make the experience better. The toppings are LOADED on, not sprinkled, and the cookie dough is especially fantastic. You'll probably need a second cup because it's overflowing, which is never a bad problem to have. The service is great whether you go through the drive-thru or inside, and it's always fast and welcoming. Adele's is one of those places you crave year round and it never disappoints.

Adele's isn't about frozen custard anymore, it's more about candy. There is no conceivable way an adult would make a concrete mixer this way.

Culver's might be a better option

The drinks were fine and the service was, too. I will be back, but still trying to figure out what the hype is all about.

I am not exaggerating. There could not have been more than 1-2 ounces of meat on the burger. I had the Oklahoma burger and there literally no onions either. My wife and I both walked out after eating and could not believe what a ridiculous experience it was. We also got 2 deviled eggs for $4 a piece. You get 1/2 of an egg for $4. I make better eggs.

Service is always friendly however sometimes it is very slow. They have one of the best happy hours in the area. They have great options for cocktails.

It's consistently solid and something I come back for. Korean tacos are also so delicious. Easy place to recommend.

The inside was pretty deserted apart from a few patrons sitting at the bar but overall the ambiance is nice and fresh and bright. Because I wasn't too hungry try I settle on the G.O.A.T salad with shrimp, my friend got the jerk chicken flatbread, her mom got the chicken egg rolls and we got the kid's cheese pizza for my friend's son. We didn't have to wait too long for our food and when it was brought to the table it looked good. Their choice of plates is an interesting one because the plates have specks that make you think they're dirty. The egg rolls weren't good at all and the inside wasn't fully cooked so you could take the flour in the wrap. The jerk chicken flatbread had no jerk sauce/seasoning on it. The salad was good but again the plate makes the dish appear unclean. We ended up sending the egg rolls back and they took them off our bill which was nice.

While I understand food costs and needing a pared down menu, gone were the uniquely Jamaican dishes such as the jerk bowls and the jackfruit, etc (still on the website by the way). So what I tried was a Jamaican Banh Mi. Basically, grilled chicken with some sliced vegetables in an imitation of a Vietnamese banh mi. I really enjoyed the sauce they drizzled on and their mango Cole slaw was one of the first times I actually liked a restaurant Cole slaw. Sadly, a sandwich with a thin slice of chicken breast and some Cole slaw is not worth the $19 price tag. While the service was very good, Montego Blu doesn't stand out anymore given the lack of their Caribbean options.
