Eh…. Is there another option around? Even a less preferred chain location, like Dairy Queen? Sonic? Anything? I’d opt for something different.
Full disclosure, we only bought ice cream, and their food may be stellar, but I have enough issues to where I don’t know that I’d want to try their food to see.
We love finding the unique local mom n pop shops, regardless on if it’s for a meal, or ice cream, pies, etc. We always look forward to an almost always positive experience and find. Did not find that here.
Pricing seemed fair and competitive, although later found the sizes are a bit small compared to the competitors, which means their pricing is a bit higher. That’s ok tho, if you’re going to get a good quality unique product and experience.
To begin with, things went ok. There is no dine in, and we were on motorcycles, so could hardly eat on the road, so we had to opt for tables. Something we are very used to doing and even enjoy. Once we ordered, someone told us we had to move our bikes, because we were blocking their walk up customers. I wish I would have taken a picture to show where we were parked, because we were not blocking anyone, nor any path for them. We literally thought the kid was joking but our smiles at his believed sarcasm turned quickly to confusion, when asking if he was serious. So, we moved the bikes. Not an issue, but keep in mind, there are things like helmets, jackets, etc. that are hanging on it, so we either need to unload that stuff somewhere, or put it back in to move them, so it was a bit of a hassle to do, knowing we weren’t blocking anything.
We went to a table, and I have never seen so many and also aggressive flies anywhere in my life. One may quickly surmise that it’s the outdoors, and they can’t control that. Well, to a degree, they can, because they clearly knew there was an issue, from food and sweets hitting the ground, so they opted to get fly traps. However, they hung them all right next to the tables. Really?? So that means all the flies that you are “drawing in” to your traps, come right next to your customers, and as they get near, they opt for the better sounding ice cream and food. They really should have been mounted a distance away, to draw them “away” from the tables. Again, since we were on bikes, we had no choice but to deal with the flies. Didn’t help that the tables were also dirty.
While eating, loud, and to some, offensive talk and music was blaring from inside that this is all you could hear on the outside apparently through vents or such. We didn’t have kids with, but if so, I would have walked up and demands that garbage stop while we were within the vicinity. I don’t think they meant for it to be heard outside, but still. Use some common sense and judgement.
Ice cream as mentioned wasn’t a portion equal to other places, but it was still enough. Quality was adequate, but not superb.
I personally will probably avoid ever going here again.

When I got to the drive-thru I didn’t know exactly what to get but the nice lady came out and asked me help pick out my food. I had the double bacon cheeseburger with everything and a turtle sundae. My poodle got a free ice cream too……

I’ve frequented this place since it has opened, it has never improved even with change of management. Everytime you go you have to hope you get someone competent enough to take your order and make it, especially a worker named Caleb. He’s all over the place, he’ll ask you questions you’ve already answered, won’t twist your twisters, and without me handing him my card he wouldn’t have remembered I still had to pay. Hopefully one day it won’t be a revolving door of people who can’t do their job, with prices being so high you’d hope to get service and food.

Classic ice cream shack, good food and great ice cream . Shakes and melts with an amazing selection of flavor choices! Service with a smile!

Decent place, but the biggest problem is that it’s mostly run by teenagers. The grill is off 20 minutes before close most nights (I’m not sure if that’s common practice or not, but if you’re open until 9 be open until then, yknow?), they aren’t careful of food allergies (they’ll mark no peanuts etc and still add them), but at least the ice cream is great. I waited 25 minutes for two twisters, and another group *who came after us* got their entire order of milkshakes and ice cream before us.

The food here can be a little hit-or-miss, but the ice cream is terrific. The prices are low, and the quality is great. The toppings are delicious, the cookies and brownies are more than good enough to serve on their own, and the proportion of toppings and ice cream are perfect, and very generous. Service is cheerful, and very quick.

I love this place. The food is always good. Service is great and ice cream is spectacular. If you ever need a good bite or some ice cream on a hot day. Definitely give this place a try.

I went to Brownie’s for the first time yesterday, and I was extremely satisfied! My shake was DELICIOUS and the service was fast and friendly! They even gave my dog a free “puppy cone”! I wish they were open all year, but I’ll definitely be back next season
