4.4/5
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Jennifer Finley
Fabulous ice cream stand. I got a cheeseburger and it did not disappoint! Nice thick, juicy burger with all the toppings! Not a thin burger like Mc D's. I also had a "mini" milkshake which was the perfect size for me! They also have hard scoop ice cream and soft serve in an array of flavors. Their menu has everything you'd expect from a business like this, with reasonable prices. Under $5. for the burger! They do have several nice, clean picnic tables to eat at and the staff was extremely friendly and kind. I definitely recommend you check out this establishment.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — DrHyde Official
We had the hot dogs with everything on them (they didn’t add sauerkraut, perhaps you have to ask specifically). And we had the Amish Apple dumpling with cinnamon and cold caramel sauce (as not to melt ice cream) and 2 of the most heavenly dollops of ice cream I have ever had in my 53 years. We visited the Union City branch. The reason for the 4/5 stars for atmosphere was because if you’re going to eat on site, you’re basically eating in your car. Maybe it could use some aesthetics, some foliage, some tables something to give it a bit of a life. So it doesn’t feel like an empty parking lot.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Herb Riede (Herb)
While the thought of my 👵 granny's freezer brings back memories of freezer burned food and a half foot ice buildup that needed defrosting (and not something tasty), the ice cream here is consistently great and in very generous portions. the 24 flavors of soft serve are a favorite of some of us, while I like either a peanut butter sundae made with chocolate soft serve or a medium or large soft serve twist
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Derek Schraitle
Best ice cream in Erie and great service. Good benches. Rachael got black raspberry but wants red next time. 10/10
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Beth Williams
It was a pleasant experience. The little girl forgot to put peanut butter sauce on like I asked, but still a tasty treat.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Michael Walters
One of my favorite places to stop for IceCream on my way out of Erie. Very friendly and a large variety of both Hard and Soft IceCream. I prefer the Waffle Cones.
