Shout out to the manager Louie for keeping the place clean and orderly. I arrived a little after midnight with my three brothers about 2 weeks ago. We were celebrating our youngest 21st birthday and he along with his staff made us feel welcomed and provided exceptional service with a smile and truly set an example for all Ben and Jerry's. We will be back for sure!
