Been going here for 10 years every May and October and it’s a tradition that I love. Today I stopped in for my usual, the banana split and was surprised to see how small my portion was and how much the price has gone up. I don’t have a problem with either but not both at the same time.

Mmm the best place to go for ice cream when you're visiting Chincoteague. They have many flavors to choose from, we tried Java jolt, snickers, pony tracks, and cheesecake. All of them were delicious 😋. Their staff was friendly and service was swift even with a line of people!.

Ice cream was okay just sub-par. The people working were teenagers, super rude and pushy. They yelled at my 82 year old Grandpa to move it along. We’ve never been there before and it was a little over whelming. It was empty when we came in so their urgency to get us to hurry and order as soon as we walked in was surprising. Probably better icecream spots in the area don’t recommend this place.
