The food here can be a little hit-or-miss, but the ice cream is terrific. The prices are low, and the quality is great. The toppings are delicious, the cookies and brownies are more than good enough to serve on their own, and the proportion of toppings and ice cream are perfect, and very generous. Service is cheerful, and very quick.

I love this place. The food is always good. Service is great and ice cream is spectacular. If you ever need a good bite or some ice cream on a hot day. Definitely give this place a try.

I travel a lot in my line of work and I decided to give this place a try 2 years ago. No need to tell you that it has become one of my favorites as I travel. I stopped there every time and I'm never disappointed. The food is always amazing and served with a smile. Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere to enjoy a good meal and one of their delicious ice cream treat. Best of all they have not raised their prices from last year !!!

When I got to the drive-thru I didn't know exactly what to get but the nice lady came out and asked me help pick out my food. I had the double bacon cheeseburger with everything and a turtle sundae. My poodle got a free ice cream too......

I went to Brownie's for the first time yesterday, and I was extremely satisfied! My shake was DELICIOUS and the service was fast and friendly! They even gave my dog a free "puppy cone"! I wish they were open all year, but I'll definitely be back next season …
