Not bad for a small town frozen bovine treat maker. I took the wild child here for an after school reward. He was all smiles with the reeses pieces peanutbutter, I think they called it a storm. I was starving and got a hot dog which was perfectly fine but not enough, should of bought three honestly. Outdoor seating only, the prices were low which was nice because it seems everywhere I turn I'm getting price gouged nowadays.. There's an old Sinclair station next door that was cool to see so we got some nostalgic photos for grandpaw who's a collector. It was also nice to wander around the small town atmosphere nearby, very relaxing for a city type for sure. Plan on returning!

Absolutely had to get ice cream while I was visiting back home! One of my favorite places, hands down.

Can't wait for next season already miss the chocolate coke and marshmallow pibbs. Shakes are a tad to thin for me I like mine thick. And the crunchies should totally make a return.
