I stopped by Ye Ole Fashioned on Savannah Hwy recently, and I walked out feeling pretty mixed about the whole experience. It’s one of those places that has a lot of charm and nostalgia, and you can tell it’s been a neighborhood staple for a long time. The staff was friendly in that casual, no‑rush kind of way, and they got me taken care of without any issues.
I ordered a burger and fries, plus ice cream because… well, it’s Ye Ole Fashioned, you kind of have to. The food came out fairly quickly, and the portions were definitely generous. The burger itself was okay — not bad, just not something I’d go out of my way for. The patty was cooked fine, but the flavor felt a little flat, like it needed a bit more seasoning or something to make it stand out. Fries were hot but a little on the softer side.
The ice cream was the highlight for me. Super creamy, big scoops, and exactly what you expect from a place that’s known for it. If I lived closer, I’d probably come back just for that.
The dining area could use a little freshening up — nothing terrible, just that slightly worn‑in feel that makes you think it’s overdue for a touch‑up. Still clean enough, just not the most inviting atmosphere.
Overall, it’s a solid neighborhood spot with friendly service and big portions, but the food didn’t quite hit the “wow” factor for me. I’d come back for ice cream or a quick bite, but it’s not a must‑visit.

I took my twins who are autistic and one of them got a bit overwhelmed, the staff were so amazing and kind and they explained all the flavors and allowed them to taste different flavors. They were patient with no eye rolls or masked annoyance. It was our first time there together as a family and my first time back since I was 12 years old. It made me really happy that I chose to move back home to SC and a great reminder of how wonderful Summerville was, is, and can be. It reminded me of down home community and just enjoying the small things in life.

Stopped in for ice cream because we saw they had vegan options and ended up ordering food as well. Destiny was SUPER helpful!! Very knowledgeable and friendly. She’s a 10/10.

i’ll give it 3 stars for the service because most of the time it’s pretty decent. we usually go here to get banana splits because its a pretty convenient location, but i think today is the last of that. its been pretty all over the place the past couple of times we went. We get the traditional banana split with all the topping but sometimes we get all the toppings, sometimes we get none, sometimes we get one topping but not the others, its odd. Well today we went through the drive thru, ordered one, just to come home to figure out that whatever they used for the said “vanilla” flavor, was freezer burned, stringy and just gross.

This place needs a DEEP CLEAN. Employees were avoiding eye contact while I was standing at the register waiting to make an order. Finally someone looked up, took my order that took almost a half hour for a hotdog and fries. It was so filthy in there I honestly don’t know how this place is still legally allowed to be open. Fries and food were left on the floor and countertops, everything they used to cook looked like it had never been cleaned as well as the seating area being a complete decrepit mess. The ice cream area was so filthy and it tasted sour. Lazy staff with horrible attitudes towards their own coworkers in front of customers, how professional! one poor employee looked like she was gonna cry in frustration over her coworkers. Immediately took a bite of my cold hot dog and just threw it out. Waste of money. You guys have so much potential with this place!

First time at this location, I ordered online and everything was ready when I arrived. Wife and I both had the 6 oz cheese burger. It was perfect for me but she said it was too much for her, next time she will get the 4 oz. Small loaded fries are awesome and huge. I prefer fresh cut fries but the crinkle fries were ok. Also plenty of bacon and cheese. Onion rings were also really good. It was way too much food for us to finish. Service was prompt, attention to detail and polite. We will definitely return. Atmosphere is typical burger/ ice cream joint. Lots of families enjoying a meal or treat together.

All the chairs and booths look like they were found in a dumpster. The staff treats the place like a playground for boys. They did not where hair nets or hats. Only the female associate had a hat! Def. Wont be back, & the prices are too high for the poor decor!

The food is pretty good and the portions are generous. But they want you to check out with a predetermined choice of tips free to choose. What have they done to earn a tip? Just take your order? They’re getting paid to take your order. I doubt I’ll return. No tips

I have eaten here since 2011. How did I miss doing a review on this place? I aways order a kids meal because they give you so much and the burgers are huge. The hubby loves their foot long sausage dogs and onion rings. We love Ye Ole Fashion. We’ve been to all in the area but the Old Trolley location is our fave.

I have been coming here for years, and it’s really unfortunate how awful it has declined. This place is a disgusting mess. Open food laying around while flies land on it, trash littering the floor. With so many employees working here, you would think it would be significantly cleaner as well as faster. We waited over 30 minutes for 2 sundaes and 2 cones. An employee later told me that the girl helping us was “still in training” but yet not a single person was “training” her. The strawberry shortcake is advertised as “fresh strawberries” but clearly it’s from a can or frozen. Please see attached pictures for proof.
