★★★★☆ 4.0 Marie L · Sep 2024

Was in town for a conference. Stopped here and it seemed to be the place to be with non stop traffic in the drive through. Can eat outside but inside is only a two person table. Food was fast and hot and the price was great.

Usually good but not today I waited 20 minutes in line in store and nobody was attending to the counter! When I finally did order a small twist cone, there was no chocolate! Only vanilla. Poor service and ice cream was made wrong!

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Katie Storm · Mar 2025

I stopped by a little after 5pm and walked into a group of kids screaming over a guy saying yes to being some girls bf. Sitting on top of the freezer where ice cream is kept. Waited for at least 10 mins to be waited on while they were celebrating and getting free ice cream. I ordered cheese fries, or should I say more like cheese soup. Disgusting! Not sure if I will return! Get some people that want to work!!

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Christina Stanley · Aug 2025

Every time we come here everything we get has a weird taste to it. Tonight I got fried Oreos and the powdered sugar took on the flavor of whatever smell the interior of the building has. I don’t know if it’s the cleaning solutions they use but it is so odd. The cones have it, the buns for the pulled pork/ burgers, even the hard serve ice cream has it. If you walk inside you’ll know the smell, the food has the same taste… it’s weird and I don’t like it. It makes me worried to eat here with the food tasting the way it does. I hope it doesn’t make someone sick.

Cardinal Corner is my favorite place for pizza burgers!! They have some other pretty good food too, like onion straws and fried mushrooms. It’s not my favorite place for ice cream, but that’s okay! 🙂
