    Divine Hot fudge sundae
    Marita S.

    Love this ice cream parlor. Very friendly service and the most delicious hot fudge sundaes!!! Perfect for a hot summer day!

    Loved this place! We were able to try samples and it was all superior Hershey's ice cream. They had lots of options and different toppings. They even had a special moon pie sundae which was to die for. I totally recommend this place!

    This ice cream shop is right on the main strip near Chimney Rock. It offers lots of flavors and even have a freezer dedicated for patrons with food allergies. The staff are friendly and the portion sizes generous.

    The milk shake was super thick and hard to drink. But it was delicious! We got the bourbon butter ice cream with caramel- I don't remember the name of it but it was good. The outdoor ordering window was super convenient and there may who took our order was very friendly. It took a while for someone to walk over to us and take our order. I would suggest having someone stationed at that window or closer by so customers don't have to wait too long to be seen. Conveniently located in the village outside of chimney rock state park, it makes for a nice treat with great views. Lots of outside seating or you could walk the strip and enjoy it.

    We got banana pudding ice cream and it was very delicious! We also got two hot chocolates that were for our boys and it was extremely hot. It took a while and still wasn't warm enough to drink so we had to add ice. I would just recommend them servicing the hot chocolate for the children maybe a little warmer. Cute place with a ton of options for flavors and sides. Even have coffee and drinks. Very limited seating outside and has some more outside.

    Love the place, right on the main strip, very friendly staff. 20 ounce milkshake 6000 $.30 is very fair taste excellent. Ask for whip cream

    To update other reviews, they do accept visa and MasterCard now. No longer cash only That being said: If you have another option, go there. The ice cream is fine, it's what you'd expect from a chain ice cream place. It's clean and all. BUT When we walked in and the lady (full grown adult, not teenager, who I assume owns the place) literally sighed when we walked in the door. The teen that what was working with her never smiled either. It was the saddest ice cream place I've ever been. We came here despite the poor reviews because other options were closed. It just felt like we were inconveniencing them, and no one wants to pay to feel like an inconvenience. Unfortunately, despite multiple reviews that customers consistently feel like an inconvenience this treatment continues. I suggest you sell the shop and do something that offers you life, not something that clearly feels like a drag.

This little independently owned shop has limited hours on limited days of the week, there nothing like an owner who opens when he wants to and serves up a great selection of novelties, this almost always ensure you'll get quality products and it also means you'll probably have to pay up a little although I found the moderate pricing to be reasonable. The menus are posted everywhere once you climb the flight of stairs to the porch level - like more traditional ice cream stands there's a ordering window and a pickup window this to me signifies this place can get pretty busy although today that wasn't the case, of course I arrived a few minutes after opening. This place seems to offer unlimited flavors of ice cream and as I reviewed all the postings the only distraction was a couple of teenage boys seating on the bench beside the railing - one was crunching on his cup full of ice while the other was sucking on lemons he retrieved from his empty cup of lemonade, both were a little annoying but I was here for ice cream so it's wasn't hard to ignore the ill-mannered children although they arrived here in a early 2000 mini truck that hadn't seen a car wash in months. We found a picnic table under a big oak tree that provided shade to enjoy our treat and far enough away from the ice cruncher and lemon sucker to relax and suck down our shakes, I was bound and determined to do a little straw sucking to get some payback but unfortunately the two departed before I got to the bottom of my cup. We ordered a Banana and North Carolina Peach Shake in separate cups of course the smooth ice cream was filled with freshly sliced bananas and delicious peaches that kept clogging up the straws (that's a great sign for me it reminded me of my childhood when you had to pull the straw and do a reverse slurp to clean the fruit from within). The owners were friendly but focused and the little windows only provided a small portal to the inside which I thought was rather comical - a hand appeared to take the payment then it appeared again to hand over the product. It was a great experience over-all and the shakes were delicious, this is definitely a gem in the mountain forrest and deserves a visit again and again when in the area...

    It pains me to write a 3 star review for this place because I've had previous positive experiences…read more I sat at the bar around 5p with the idea of getting an early dinner and rolling out quickly for an early day tomorrow. There were maybe 3 other people sitting there when I arrived. I ordered the chef salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing and the Turkey Melt which I had once before and recall it being THE best melt I ever had. When I got my salad, it had ranch dressing. I asked the waitress what was the dressing and she said, it's our special made ranch dressing, it's sooo good. I said 'I ordered balsamic vinaigrette', she said 'oh my, you're right, we'll get this fixed for you'. Oh well, I thought it was simple. When I got the Turkey Melt, it was so messed up, I could not EVEN pick it up, it was sliding off the panini. I had a guy sitting next to me who could not even order a pizza. He didn't know what his choices were. When the waitress told him his options, he said ' wait a minute, I have to make a call'. He was talking to someone about what he could have on his pizza. When the waitress came back, he couldn't remember what he wanted, finally he just said 'I just want cheese'. Then this couple at the end of the bar are SO loud, everyone is looking at them. They were locals because the kept talking about local stuff. Then as more people came in, they all went to the end of the bar to see this couple and all of a sudden it felt like a party. I was enjoying the HDTV, it had the golf Channel, ESPN and CNBC all at the same time, three of my favs' Then the sound of rolling THUNDER and all the channels went blank. It was more than I could deal with, I ask for my bill and a go box.
