Here’s a polished, balanced review that keeps it honest while still fair and constructive:
Fenton’s is always an easygoing spot with a relaxed atmosphere, which is one of the reasons we keep coming back. They have a large selection of ice cream flavors, offering plenty of variety, and the ice cream itself is consistently creamy and really hits the spot. Portions are generous—each photo shared is of a single scoop, which says a lot.
One downside is that their seasonal flavors are often unavailable, and unfortunately there’s no way to know until you order and the server lets you know. That can be a bit disappointing, especially when you’re excited to try something specific. Another area for improvement would be the overall service. Each time we’ve visited, the servers have seemed rushed and a bit short, whether the place was packed or relatively empty.
That said, the quality and variety of the ice cream keep us coming back, and with a few service improvements, the experience could be even better.
Service: 3/5
Ambiance: 3/5
Portion to Price: 3/5
Overall: A gigantic ice cream parlor that is pretty standard fare.
The extended review…
Ice Cream: 3/5 – There are a lot of different flavors to try. I got a scoop of chocolate and it was pretty standard fare.
Service: 3/5 – Standard service.
Ambiance: 3/5 – It’s a huge hall that can accommodate a lot of people.
Portion to Price: 3/5 – I thought the pricing was a bit high but I think it’s fairly in line with other places.
We plan to dine in but seems like a long wait on a Sunday late afternoon so I decided to get a to go ice cream. I ordered the butter pecan and the smores. I ordered two ice creams, I got the first one and then the staff suddenly walked away without saying a word or anything at all. I looked and he went to other counter had some chit chat and was laughing with another staff. I wasn’t sure if I should wait or what, it took a while before a lady approached me and told her I assumed I was waiting for the other person for my order? She then went to him. Then he came back after the long wait. I do not have problem waiting, I just need to be informed. Upon payment it is asking for a tip for a to-go ice cream.
We ordered the chocolate chip cookie sundae, and it did not disappoint — rich, gooey, and piled high with ice cream, whipped cream, and all the toppings. It was more than enough for two people to share and left us smiling (and full). The ice cream itself was creamy and flavorful — clearly made with care.
The service was also a standout. The staff were genuinely friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better.
Whether you’re stopping in for lunch or just looking to satisfy a serious dessert craving, Fentons is absolutely worth the visit. Classic, delicious, and welcoming — can’t ask for much more!
I enjoyed a BLT and it was delicious! It was a lot larger than I anticipated. My niece ordered a grilled cheese sandwich and really liked it.
