Tony's Ice Cream

You can not go wrong with this Gastonia Staple business! Have been coming here for 20+ years. Do not live nearby anymore but was passing through the “Gashouse” and had to take my kid to check out the milkshakes! Let’s just say she Approves! 💯 thank you!

February 2026...As in every year I can recall for decades, today Tony's Ice Cream delivered great service and fantastic food. The photos will tell the story better than I can. You'll see a massive hot fudge cake, some fresh hot fries, and a Lemon milkshake. Fries ...fresh, hot, crisp shoestring fries, perfect for swiping thru your ice cream... Shake... My very first in this flavor. I usually go for the butter pecan, or black walnut. Why not try something new, I said... And, just like when I tried the grape, its a great choice.

Due to many recommendations I went to Tony’s for lunch last Saturday. For this visit I stuck to food (ice cream next visit) : - people had told me that the hot dog is the thing to get. There actually is quite a big menu but I stuck with the hot dog. Added onion rings for side - the girl at the counter gave a wink and “good choice” for that … - overall it was far better than expected. Yes - hot dog was good. Some for the sweet and crispy onion rings. It was a good choice ! - loved the old school vibe. Looks like it’s rhe same since the 60s. And of course some local characters enjoying lunch as well - highly recommend based on this visit. - ice cream review coming soon.

Tony's is an old fashioned, old flavored ice cream shop. The very best milkshakes, cones, and cups. Also, the best hotdogs and hamburgers with all the fixings high quality. Fries are always hot and fresh. Tony's is worth a trip even of you are coming from out off town. It's been there for many decades because they keep the same quality product.

Best place around for a milkshake! It's a tradition in my family that anytime we go to Gastonia, we have to stop by for a milkshake. All are good but my favorite is Grape. It's delicious
