This place has really gone down hill. When did you start selling soft serve ice cream? And is it only certain flavors? I could’ve gotten this at McDonald’s drive thru for a dollar.

I'm not particularly a pie or cake person but wanted something sweet and decided to give them a try. I'm glad I did! The chocolate chess pie and chocolate chip pecan pies were delicious and did not disappoint! I got a kid scoop of creme brulee ice cream to cut the extra richness of the pie and it was just right-yummy... And they warn up the slice for you. Old time nostalgia at it's finest👌🏾⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Why does it always look closed from the outside and not much different on inside? Never seem to have same options at different stores.

Feels like this place has gone downhill. They’ve had a freezer out for a few weeks and little to no flavors of ice cream to offer (even tho they put a sign out saying they still have all products). The service is always extremely slow but wasn’t as big of a deal breaker until these last few times trying to go in - Such a shame but we won’t be going back.

This place has gone down hill. The place is a dump. All tables are dirty, floors a mess. Everything you look at is filthy. The bathroom is a wreck and reeks of urine. Two out of 3 freezers have been down for at least a month so very little to choose from. The cake/pie area nearly bare and what is out looks like it's been sitting for a week. Out of cones.. at an ice cream shop. They need new management and a cleaning crew.
