The ice cream was good. The establishment need some work. The bathrooms were completely extremely dirty no tissue. The restaurant was dirty. The workers were OK. They were out of like so many ice cream flavors that I couldn’t get the one that I wanted. I had to choose from what they had. I got some kind of hot fudge brownie with ice cream on top and I asked for the brownie to be hot. I don’t know how they warmed it up but I didn’t get a hot brownie. I don’t think I’m willing to try this place again, but I did like the ice cream. It was pretty flavorful. They do have outside tables to relax and eat your sweet treats. There’s a sign outside That says made Fresh daily. Cleaning the place up real good on the inside would help this place out a lot. But it is pretty understandable because it’s ice cream and its kids involved. And by the way I went because I was commemorating a small special occasion.

This is hands down, without a doubt the best ice cream you will eat in the area. Maybe in the state. Sounds exaggerated but we’ve tried tons of ice cream shops from Carolina beach NC, to Sevierville TN, and Charlotte down to Anna Maria island FL. This is our favorite, and we are regular customers! Biggest selection of flavors I’ve ever seen, fast service, tastiest ice cream, and its always consistent. Our favorite flavors are pineapple upside down cake, and lemon bar.
I give only 4 stars because of our last visit, which was today. We always get our 4 year old a “baby scoop” because she usually doesn’t finish a regular size scoop and it goes to waste. We were told that we couldn’t get the baby scoop because our child wasn’t 2 years old. So we said that we would pay for a baby scoop because that’s all we needed. We were told that we could pay for what we wanted, (all of this happened while a newer employee that was taking our order was consulted by another employee about this in front of us) My wife and I ordered one scoop as we always do, because it’s plenty if we’ve already had supper. What we got was very small, which isn’t what we usually get. My scoop was 4 or 5 spoons of ice cream. We paid $17+, after a small tip. Not a big deal, but if it was our first visit we definitely wouldn’t go on a regular basis. Our recommendation would be some training tips maybe? I’m sure the owner/ management knows exactly how to handle it. Looking forward to our next visit soon!

Large list of flavors, including unique ones. They offer a variety options, including a sample that I thought was pretty great!
They do allow you taste test before you commit to a flavor.

It’s clean. Kids working are nice. Ordered banana shake out of banana ice cream. Ordered a scoop of mud pie. Can’t have that either. All out. I get it. It’s busy. Help the customers out by letting them know on your digital board so they don’t have to scramble at the register when ordering. Seems simple enough.

This place is awesome!
There’s SO many flavors and treats to choose from it will blow your mind!
I got a bunch of ice cream sandwiches- which are giant Oreo cookies with one scoop of ice cream between- you choose the ice cream flavor.
I got peanut butter brownie for myself, sampled the cotton candy and birthday cake flavors from my kids’- they were all exceptional in terms of flavor and quality.
I’ll certainly be back subs recommend that you do the same!

It was my first time at Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream and I really loved it. Excellent quality ice cream, you can taste the difference! We got the Chocolate Peanut Butter Ripple and Oree-dough flavors. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere made it feel like an old timey ice cream parlor.

Great ice cream, great service. They are not skimpy with toppings! Great experience.

This use to be our favorite ice cream place. The portions have definitely gotten smaller within the past 6 months. So sad that eating out has gotten this way! You pay good money and then they either decrease your portions or the quality is terrible.

Update 5/8/22
We finally made it back to give them another try. Boy did they make up for out first experience. We have happily update to a 5 star. Customer service was great and best of all was the ice cream. This is definitely the best ice cream spot in Gaston county.
Thanks
The ice cream was delicious but the price was terrible. I was charged $10.50 for a medium waffle cone of ice cream, my son’s small dipped waffle cone with toppings was only $6.
We questioned the cashier about it and he just said sorry.

We have always had excellent ice cream and friendly staff here. There are places to enjoy your tasty treats outside w/tables. The strawberry sundae and Snickers hurricane? Delicious !
