They have parking in front as well, average place to check out.

The serving size is quite large and the price was more than fair. Coming from a big city where everything cost a fortune, this was a nice treat on many levels. Service was great and fast. We weren't rushed as we read each description to decide. The menu is much more extensive than just scoops of ice cream. Truly something to satisfy everyone. The store is way bigger than I expected. We decided to stop here as we were looking for a local small town place with something sweet and it didn't disappoint. From the outside it looked like an average storefront, but once inside, it's so much more. There is ample seating with cute tables. Board games and some video games in the larger back room. There is also clean restrooms. So cute and so good! Definitely a place to enjoy leisurely and hang out with friends/family. Perfectly located on the main street.

There's plenty of outdoor seating, including shaded tables under a pergola, and a few spots inside if you want to cool off. They have some really unique and delicious ice cream flavors (plus shakes, floats, and something called a "pazookie" that looked amazing!). My ice cream was perfect, creamy and rich! It's such a nice local place to grab a treat, relax outside, and enjoy a small-town vibe done right. Highly recommend stopping by if you're anywhere near Carterville!
