Bruster’s Real Ice Cream never disappoints! I had the Turtle Sundae and it was absolutely delicious – rich, creamy, and loaded with flavor. My son-in-law ordered the Apple Dumpling with ice cream, and it was the perfect warm and sweet treat. My daughter went with the Salted Caramel Pretzel ice cream, and she loved the mix of salty and sweet. Everything was fresh, decadent, and served with a smile. A fantastic spot for a sweet treat – highly recommend!

Buster’s Ice Cream is a must-visit for any ice cream lover! The flavors are incredibly rich and creamy, and the portions are very generous. I tried the coconut and Dubai chocolate—both were absolutely top-notch. The taste was amazing, and the quality really stands out. Highly recommended! We also tried their banana split that is 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌

If using a coupon, make sure the employee applies it to your bill before leaving. I made that mistake. Also, make sure they ring up your order correctly. I am giving the stars for the taste of my ice cream and docking it for what happened above. I did, in fact get the correct ice cream choices, but one of them was just rung up incorrectly as something else (not sure why). The place stayed busy, both standing in line & in the drive thru. On this visit, we got a pint of ice cream - Graham Central Station in one and Rum Raisin in another. Be aware that they fill it to the brim, so your container may not be closed completely (discovered this when one of the covers came off as I tried to grab it). It's all good. We still enjoyed the flavors.

Bruster’s Real Ice Cream consistently delivers good-quality ice cream with a wide selection of flavors. The texture is smooth and creamy, and portions are generous for the price. This location is extremely popular — it’s almost always packed, and there’s usually a line. While that speaks to the quality and demand, wait times can be longer during peak hours. Service is generally efficient given the high volume of customers.

Decor: The shop has a cheerful, welcoming vibe with both outdoor seating and a convenient drive-through option. It’s a great spot to enjoy ice cream on a warm day or grab a treat on the go. Service: The staff were exceptionally friendly and thoughtful. They even gave our toddler an extra cup and spoon in case she spilled—such a considerate touch that made the visit even sweeter. Presentation: The ice cream came in giant waffle cones that looked as good as they tasted. The generous scoops made for an eye-catching and satisfying treat. Taste: Every flavor we tried was delicious—creamy, rich, and clearly made with care. The creative flavor options kept things fun and made it hard to choose just one. Price: Prices were very reasonable considering the scoop size, and they even offered a fre
