What a lovely surprise after a hike! Great prices, great staff, great decor and ambiance too! I'm definitely making this a regular post-hike spot! The ladies working the night I went were very patient, nice, and bubbly even though we went near closing. I got an Oreo sundae that was loaded with toppings.
Stoped in for a quick treat after a hike and this place hit the spot. Definitely recommend this place and I know I'll be back. I could not decide on which flavor to try because I only wanted one scoop and the lady let me split my one scoop with two flavors which was perfect and amazing. I went with the coconut joy and the cappuccino crunch and they were both just so good and smooth and creamy. Also tried the chicken salad sandwich and it was just perfect. This place has lots of parking and seating both inside and outside. Outside seating were mostly picnic tables, but they're also spread out around the property so you don't have to sit right next to anybody else if you don't want to, and that was just fantastic. The staff were super friendly and lots to choose from on the menu so I will definitely be back again to try some of their other flavors.
I ate the ice cream first. This ice cream is what dreams are made of. Such a great variety from soft serve to the famous Hershey's brand, and a local hand dipped selection. I tried a few of each, for the review of course. The Banana Moose Tracks and Almond Joy (coconut ice cream a chocolate clusters) were deliciously creative flavors, and I would come back for both, time and time again. I couldn't decide so the little lady in the barn said they could split my small into two different flavors- I went with a refreshing orange pineapple (with pieces of pineapple) that was like a creamy sorbet and the other was the Banana Moose Tracks (banana ice cream with chocolate fudge swirls and peanut butter flecks )- love at first bite - it tasted like my childhood (reminded me of an elevated Jello pudding pop from back in the day). Portions- I almost couldn't finish the small. Generous...to say the least. I rounded my dinner with a chicken salad sandwich. They have quite the selection of sandwiches and salads (see menu pic). The only thing I regretted about this visit was offering to share my sandwich with my bestie! Plenty of parking and a handful of outdoor tables and chairs. It was a last minute stop for us on our way home after an afternoon hike- a glorious finish!
Happened up on this place while on a fall Adventure with a friend. I was going to get a home made waffle cone, but they were out so I opted for a peanut butter milkshake which was delicious. They have an interesting lunch menu so we will likely come back to try it & hopefully get a homemade waffle cone. There was a steady line of customers on this warm fall Saturday, but the line to order moved quickly and orders were filled effectively, we were able To grab a table on the patio and sit and enjoy our treats and the beautiful day.
A really cute place to stop for a lunch and ice cream. Its built out in an old barn, and has a pretty good variety of hot and cold sandwiches, soups and salads, plus a long list of ice cream flavors. You order and pick up at the counter, or outside during summer days. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The C&O panini was great and worth going back for. The ice cream is Hershey's, and while not as good as Rocky Point, still a nice treat, and a huge portion size. Its right off the highway and worth a stop!
