⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
They had a great variety of flavors. Between 4 people we had and / or tasted a dozen flavors, all were delicious. We got some stuffed shakes and scooped ice cream. It was so good we stopped again before we left town for the trip home. The value and prices are great! The staff were extremely friendly, both visits. Highly recommend this place!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I love this place. They have mint moose tracks and I love mint moose tracks. I get a milkshake every time and am always so happy I do. They have breakfast pastrys and from what I have tried they are good. They also have coffee but I don't drink coffee so I wouldn't know. But if you want ice cream in Maggie Valley this is a great place to stop. Enjoy!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My best friend and I were on the parkway and wanted to find a place that had hot chocolate and this was the closest place. We're so glad we stopped in! By the time we were off the parkway the temp had risen and we opted for ice cream and a milkshake at 930p. The customer service was great, everyone was welcoming and knowledgeable about the flavors. Super glad we stopped in!
