There is a counter to place an order, but they also have a self-order kiosk. That likely helps the small kitchen staff out. Waiting for my treat took a while because of a few other orders ahead, but when it came out I got a nicely swirled strawberry ice cream on a cone. The pink trim reminded me of a frozen yogurt spot back home. I enjoyed the ice cream on the picnic benches located outside on the side. There is a standing counter space to eat on inside, but I imagine during busier times between the line to order and the diners it could be crowded. The ice cream seemed to be popular. I saw two other guys leaving with their own tall swirls for the road. Johnny Mac's has a decent array of flavors, so I would come back if I'm back down here.

This place looks adorable from the road but when you get in there and see a half smoked cigarette…read moreand the lighter sitting on the counter, you realize it's probably not the place to eat. We went on a limb, but it broke. Food was not good. Place was filthy. Not sure how they pass the health inspection. If I could give it zero stars, I would. It was one of my poorest dinning choices and McDonalds might have tasted better.

On a whim, I decided to stop at Bruster's recently. There's a certain irony that Bruster's is…read moreright around the corner from my gym. I heard Bruster's before I saw Bruster's. They were piping out 80's alt-rock music (think 10,000 Maniacs) onto the street. Bruster's is strictly walk-up, no inside for customers. The ice cream menu is right above the order window, and espying Pistachio, I ordered from smiling friendly counter help a single scoop of Pistachio in a cup. My oh my, this was the best pistachio ice cream I've ever tucked away. This smooth ice cream had a pronounced pleasant pistachio flavor and plenty of pieces of pistachio as well. For the price, I thought the serving size was quite reasonable. Yes, I will be back.

Stopped here after dinner across the street and finally tried a sorbet flavor here - dragon fruit…read more It was tasty though a bit too sweet, taking away from the fruit flavor itself. Patient employees. Go enjoy

Great ice cream stop with nostalgic feels!…read more If you looking to satisfy the sweet tooth in between errands, driving through the dreadful Route 210 rush hour, or just looking to put the world on pause for a minute....and treat yourself....this place is it! Hovermale's, located off the Route 210 Highway and Palmer road has been throwback staple and stop for decades. It is a small family owned ice cream shop that keeps things simple and oh!....did I say soooo good. Just pulling up to the place takes you back in time. They offer your standard cream cone and try tested in through favorites, such as ice cream sundaes floats, ice cream cake cups, and banana splits. The base flavors tend to be vanilla, chocolate, and/or swirled. What makes this place special is how they take your standard ice cream flavors and load them with lots of great toppings, such as pineapple, butterscotch, cherry, strawberry, hot fudge, marshmallow and my favorite.....caramel & pecans! They also serve sandwiches like hotdogs, chili-dogs and half smokes. My go to is the chocolate-vanilla swirl cone! You can always go with single flavors served on a cone or in a cup. But...I mean, who doesn't get down the swirl?!! lol. Not to mention, the portion sizes are huge and worth the price point. I tend to order a small or medium swirl ice cream cone and it comes out looking like I just ordered a pint of ice cream on a cone....see pics. But, who's complaining ....certainly not me! lol In all, you can't go wrong making it stop here. Hovermale's is one of those places that take you back into a moment of time when things were much simpler and laid back. It ones of those places as I mentioned before that's a great stop to make for yourself or family.....and put the world on pause for a minute while enjoying a cool treat....untethered, unwired, and unbothered. Just bliss! For those not local, this is a very small location with service via the window, standing room, and no bathrooms. Parking is limited and confined to a parking lot at their location where will find folks sitting in their cars, enjoying ice cream. There is no street or side road parking. Also, don't get scared off by the line (if there is one); it moves quickly! :-) I highly recommend a stop at this nostalgic treasure, in the Fort Washington, MD area. You will not be disappointed.

Please excuse my half eaten ice cream cone!!…read more I visited again and this time, tried the dipped chocolate ice cream and the marshmallow sundae! Their food still tastes good, still rich, and overall flavorful. However, the ice cream tasted less sweet than last time. Customer service is still good. Parking is still overall easy. Overall, I'd recommend!

I stopped in on a Saturday night. It was almost 9pm and I didn't realize they were about to close…read more There were so many options for what to get that I was a bit overwhelmed and it took a moment to figure out what I wanted. Not because of the flavors, but the ways you can get your sweet treat (like, cone, cup, sundae, etc.) and other various options (like ice cream, sorbet, custard, etc.) I sampled a couple of sorbet flavors and ended up with a small cup of those two flavors. A small cup is two scoops so it was perfect! The flavors were Lemon Lavender and POG (pomegranate, orange, guava). At first I think I liked the lavender best, but as I continued to eat, I think POG stole the show. They were both refreshing and flavorful and I appreciated the blends to give my tastebuds new flavors. Del Ray is such a cute neighborhood too. I sat outside at the tables/benches to eat. If you're planning a visit, their website is pretty slim and doesn't list all the options for getting a sweet treat. I do think it would be helpful for it to include those options. But others have posted pictures of their menu so you can search for that.

I popped in on Sunday. It was busy…read more There was a guy in front of me in line with hearing issues and I had to tap his shoulder to direct him to the person waiting to take his order. The server person was clearly impatient with him but made me a little uncomfortable. I got the "Kit Kat" ice cream sandwich. It came in an Oreo wafer and was chocolate custard and was hard as a rock, plus was bland. I had to go back in and ask if it was actually the right thing, since it was so unrelated to KitKat. The cashier guy said yeah, it is KitKat. I told him it was nasty. It was $7.70 when all was said and done. Don't be back.

I'll have to come back and try other flavors. My family and I really enjoyed stopping by!

I loved the milkshake but wish service had been better.

It was a little confusing to order at first but eventually we were guided to the cashier to do so. We weren't offered to try anything but if you asked they were more than accommodating. I had gotten the Shirley Temple milkshake and that was alright. Definitely felt rushed when made. Ice cream did feel slightly melted already but that could have just been the way it was made. I did get to keep the whole can of sprite so that was good! It's like I got three milkshakes for one as I just kept refilling the mason jar whenever it got low. The locations in Georgia might of set my expectations of this one too high but I would go here again. This one was clean and taken care of it seems.

Went in for coffee and a snack around 4pm. Ended up ordering a cappuccino with oat milk and a…read morebreakfast croissant with egg and avocado. Was super excited they served a vegetarian breakfast sandwich all day as none of their other sandwiches were veggie. All good. Set up my laptop to do some work. The drink and sandwich came quickly. The sandwich was really terrific, warm and full of freshness, and there were condiments galore available if you wanted them. What dropped the visit was the lack of general awareness from the people running the store. Someone came to do deliveries (dad?) and they propped the door open to unload their van. They slowly moved things armful by armful - ok I get it, it's probably a family business, and it's hard work. Leave the door propped open. Gusts of cold wind were coming in and blowing so hard even the gals behind the counter would look over at the door open. I ignored it and went back to my laptop. It was open a while. After a bit I didn't see anyone going in and out, but the door was still open. Now other patrons were glancing at the door as they were getting blasted by the "feels like 21" wind. A little while later the guy who was bringing in items emerged from the kitchen, said goodbye to the people working there (his kids?) and walked out, closing the door behind him. Ok so we froze for no reason as he was done moving stuff but left the door wide open when talking with the staff. For a while. After that I couldn't get comfortable again. I noticed that they were not busy for a spell but one of the gals behind the counter played on her phone rather than cleaned up the spills on the counter or swept the floor. Those small quick things would have improved the inside greatly. Again I get it, this is hard repetitive work, but the awareness was lacking. The food and drink were not good enough to make up for this. I personally doubt I'll be back.
