On 5/16/2026 Zachariah Blodgett had this to say:
My family had a great experience here. The service was wonderful. The prices were fair and the portions you get are worth what you pay. I've been past this place a hundred times and we finally decided to stop today. Now I feel like I missed out on a hundred different times to stop and get great ice cream. Well, now I know, and so do you!
