    The ice cream is obviously great, but the food is great too for an ice cream shop. Their grilled chicken can't be beat!

    Great Mediterranean Grilled chicken sandwich! Chicken nicely seasoned with a good texture. Mushrooms, feta cheese, chopped tomatoes, and a few red onion slices in a pita equals delicious!

    The lemon sherbert is by far the best icecream, and the cheese fries are my absolute favorite, theres nothing else like them

    The ice cream is the best for miles! Try the raspberry chocolate chip, although the peach flavor is famous and a great option, too.
