My husband and I used to live really close, and I'd go and grab a burger, and a pink lemonade snowball was my favorite. Always what I craved when pregnant! They have the best! They are so sweet! They can be busy and always apologetic for the wait, but they are fast, and it's always worth the wait. I dont care how long, and i get why they're busy because its good! I craved their burger the other day and went out of my way to get one. It was worth it. They have really good chicken strips and fries, too :) !

Update: 2025 Camping at LOP and I had to come here for a snowball but my husband gota / shake and that tempted me to get a chocolate shake. That was the best chocolate shake I've tasted in forever. I look forward to Ellen's every time we come here.*****Camping at Land o Pines and got snowballs yesterday. Best snow ball I've had in a while. No extra juice needed and they have that good soft ice. This will be a must for future camping trips.

This place is actually pretty cool. It was like taking a step into the past. Very family friendly, plenty of space, fast and friendly service. There are two little tables and chairs out in front, so you can enjoy your food or drink outside if you wanted. I would eat here again.

Every time my family and I visit here the service is always wonderful! We do not wait very long at all in the drive thru. I love their swirled ice cream in a waffle cone. Their snowballs are absolutely delicious! They have just about every flavor you could possibly want. They also serve other food as well. So if you're wanting a refreshing treat please stop by! I promise you won't regret it!
