Huge list of soft serve flavors! Visited for a PTO sponsored event 🍦. Friendly service. Playground area is great. On the pricier side st around $4 for a small swirl cone but fantastic 🍦!

The service was fantastic and the ice cream was as expected, but the two times weve had a meal there the food was disappointing. Its not bad, its passable, but its not something we would go out of our way for. We had chilli cheese dogs the first time and burgers the second and both times we open the container and hear the womp womp in our heads. Go here for a sweet treat after eating dinner elsewhere.

It was good first time didnt know what to expect. My wife and I sat out front on the deck. I had a fried cod basket w/French fries and coleslaw. The coleslaw was way to small only 2 table spoons.

It.was.delish.Good stuff and friendly peeps, what more could you ask for😊

Its very rare bet you go to an offbeat hole in the wall and find a triple threat... Great food with great prices with great service. My experience add ice cream heaven was one of the best eateries to date. It is a small place. It seats Maybe 10 people inside with some chairs and tables outside. Usually when you go to a place with ice cream heaven in its title you will be looking for great ice cream. This place not only had great ice cream but their hot food was season to perfection proportioned well and was at a good price. I was extremely satisfied with my experience at this establishment. Cant wait to go back. Keep up the great work ice cream heaven.

While in the area for a fuel stop we happened upon this gem. Thanks to other reviews we were confident we would be well fed! We enjoyed our meal (pulled pork / soup) very much. The homemade soup hit the spot on a day with some chill still in the air...although not enough for us to skip the ice cream sundae we had for dessert! The real draw for us was the hospitality we were shown while visiting. Two thumbs up!

No bananas im any of the banana splits 😒EDIT: WENT and got banana split as mentioned by owner. So glad i did. Also got philly cheesesteak. Was one of the best around. Thank you

Review β„–22

Playground for kids, food isn’t the greatest but it’s not really meant to be . Decent sandwiches ( some are kinda greasy ) but the 5 stars comes from good staff and literally the best milkshakes I’ve ever had ... while other places charge 4.50-6.50 for blahhh shakes ... this was like 3.50For the best one I’ve had in my life I think

My son and I love to eat on their nice big deck when they open it for the Spring, Summer and Fall weather. The food is very good. I usually get the pork barbeque and sweet potato fries. They also serve a generous helping of mac n cheese bites. I havent had a bad meal there. The atmosphere is very warm and friendly. I recommend it often to people. Their ice cream is a great way to end your meal ... or... I have had it FOR my meal.

I would say this place has the best malted peanut butter milkshakes Ive ever had! They have a huge selection of flavored icecream as well. Staff has always been friendly. Ive since moved out of the state but when in town I try to make it here a few times a year.

Working here was my daughters first job almost 20 years ago! We love Ice CreamHeaven. The food is delicious and servingsgenerous. Like that they are wheelchair accessible. Sometimes I think the young staff could be a little better trained in customerservice. They can sometimes have an impatient attitude toward a customer who has questions about the menu. Our favorite place to go for ice cream.

Ate here on Memorial Day in the later evening (7:30ish)...What a find!Staff was pleasant, place was clean, portions were large, and prices were insanely good!Two adult sandwiches with fries and drink, as well as a kids meal with a side and a drink was 18 dollars, thats really good compared to a lot of places these days!Food was delicious and fresh, and the deck was so pleasant to enjoy a holiday meal on.Only wish we had found this place sooner, we will be back more often!(Plus my son loved the playground, and the trains going by on the railways)

My fiancΓ© and I go here a lot with our one granddaughter. Doug passes away last June. B came to me and asked where her Pops was. I said you know where he is. She said yes in heaven playing. I said yes with Jesus. She asked if I knew what heaven looked like. I said I’m not sure. She said it’s full of ice cream. There’s ice cream everywhere. They also have a playground for Pops. I asked her how she knew that. She said it’s just like Ms.Jeannie’s only far far far away and only bigger and Pops has fun just like her! Nana. Cried. I love this place. So does the rest of my family. It’s definitely a memory for the generations.

We found this place via Google Maps after a lacrosse tournament at nearby Bishop McDevitt HS. What a great find! The food was excellent (especially the burger and the BBQ) and the ice cream was great. Most notably, we really enjoyed meeting and speaking with the owner. He took the food order from our four young kids directly and made sure they were getting what they wanted while being extremely kind and patient. It is a nice setting as well. If we were local, I suspect we would swing by this place weekly. Try it...you will like it.

Great food and friendly service. Prices are not too high compared to other restaurants! Sometimes there is a wait, you can call ahead for pickup, would suggest if you are pressed for time. Great place for kids, there is a playground on the premises and small outside eating area. A place to check out for somewhere to take little ones. They also have kids night and a kids menu. For kids of all ages!!!

Review β„–58

They toast all buns, bathroom facilities are under unkept closet (unisex), BBQ looked and tasted like it was mixed with last months unsold batch (kids had no complaints aside from toasted hot dog buns, type of cheese (Swiss) in chef salad, they dont list ingredients for salads but their chef salad consists of tomatoes, cucumbers, iceburg, romaine, ham and swiss. Playground behind building and ice creams. Still generally good in overall comparison. Fair priced.

Review β„–72

The staff are either on there phones in the view of the customer.... or complaining about customers to others loudly in front of guests. Complained when an elderly couple asked about their food. Ive been in the resturant business for about 15 years and have never seen such a lack of professionalism. Then when I paid with a prepaid Visa card the complained again loudly that they never work and theyre just as bad as child support cards. This was mainly one staff member... short over weight white woman with beady eyes. No thanks.

Review β„–76

Food was reasonably priced. The Heavenly pork barbeque was pretty good too. My only complaint is that the ice cream was pretty expensive and subpar. For 2 small sugar cones of soft serve with sprinkles we got charged almost $10. That is a little steep for 2 cones. We tried to find out why it was that expensive, but the kid was a trainee and didnt really know what to say. I kind of feel like he messed up, but we ended up just paying and went on our way. Not sure if well be back. Pretty disappointing because we heard so many good things about this place.
