Tasty! I know Bruster's has been around for a while in this location but this was my first visit. My spouse loved the strawberry-banana, and I LOVED the chocolate peanut butter with buckeyes. The snicker doodle was my 2nd scoop but it was a little too cinnamon for me. Lots of outdoor seating and parking. Will come back for a hot dog someday although they don't serve them after 5?

Very, very tasty ice-cream! The ice-cream itself looks like it is served from a restaurant. Great dish design, you can choose whatever you want. They have a free offer for children shorter than 40 inches:))))) we have a baby girl, however she is 5 month old, the nice lady cashier gave us the baby cone for free and my husband was the happiest man in the world like he was 5 year-old boy. They made our evening!

Would not get a hot dog. Super expensive and not that great. For that price I was expecting YUMM. but it’s more like if I cooked it in my kitchen and buns from food lion. The fry’s were drenched in oil. Couldn’t even finish them. I will stick to the ice cream products from now on. I do like their bring a banana deal for the splits.

They have delicious ice cream. There are a lot of different options and toppings. I would recommend them to anyone in the area looking for delicious ice cream.

When we went at 9 pm, and they told us they don’t serve milkshakes within 30 minutes of close, I understood. But today, after we waited in a long line for the drive through and they said they “aren’t serving milkshakes right now”, an hour before close, that’s ridiculous. This is an ice cream place. Absurd.
