How have I not reviewed this place?…read more I want to say my first visit here was in 2016. At the time I lived in Columbus and was in the Ironton/Portsmouth area to see family and had randomly found this spot when they were located downtown. Over the years I had visited and found some awesome horror items, comics, and vintage toys. It's been a few years since I've been in as I now live 4.5 hours away compared to 2.5, but was in the area on Wednesday. I had stopped in and browsed but finally tried the ice cream. I had a Wookies n Cream shake and my wife had a BB Cake cone. The punny names work well with the shop and the flavors were good. The only strike was the straw for the shake was an Icee straw vs a regular one. Staff was friendly and prices were very fair from toys & comics. Definitely a place I try to visit when I'm in the area.

It's frustrating to walk in and see employees like Carly on their phones instead of assisting customers. The contrast in work ethic is very noticeable. I'd love to visit more often, but the inconsistent service makes it hit-or-miss.

We did a big variety off the food menu... onion rings, fried pickles, fried mushrooms, fries, chili foot long, cheeseburger, corn dog... everyone was thoroughly impressed with their food! We took it over to the park to enjoy and then came back by for milkshakes and we were all fat & happy to say the least! My kids were about to fight over the dreamsicle milkshake as they all wished they had gone for that one, but we also had cherry and chocolate which were great too. The service was just as friendly as the food was good. Ice cream was quick, food takes a minute, but it's so fresh and hot and worth it! I hate to say that I'm glad I don't live as close as I used to or I would eat here way too often.

I purchased a four piece chicken tender box with cheese curds and a small hot fudge milkshake (which is a must evertime). The chicken tenders were nicely prepared and I wasn't expecting to be served gravy for dipping so I also asked for honey mustard. I have to say the gravy dipping was pretty good, not too greasy, just right. But I also liked the honey mustard too. It was my first time trying the cheese curds and they were yummy. The hot fudge milkshake never disappoints! I'm a fan of soft serve ice cream and love this menu item! Actually it may not be on the menu but they will make it lol. We were shorted one chicken tender box so we had to pull into a numbered spot and wait for it to be prepared. If you are looking for something different than a typical fast food restaurant, Dairy Queen fits the bill.

While visiting my sister in Ironton I decided to take my niece for food & ice cream at The Shakery…read more When I come into town I always see a line of people and after having stopped in and ate I now know why. The Shakery is a cool "Mom & Pops" eater with a plethora of sweet treats. There is a place to stand and order outside, a drive thru, outside seating and indoor seating. You will see people of all ages. It's really nostalgic. The environment is nice & clean. Staff is friendly and I must say they did an excellent job for as busy as they were. There sweet treats vary from classic shakes to "blizzard-like" shakes, sundaes, specialty shakes, banana splits & slushies. I chose a peanut butter shake which was so creamy and full of peanut butter flavor. SO GOOD!!!!!! Perfect consistency for dipping my French fries in. Yea...I'm one of those lol. Scarlett chose a cherry slushie. You will get your sweet treats before your food. I ordered a hamburger and she got a kids grilled cheese and fries. The kids portion is a full size cheese sandwich btw. We enjoyed our time at the Shakery. The food is made to Order so don't expect drive-thru mentality. It's worth the wait I promise.
