It was actually pretty good! I was pleasantly surprised. Thought for sure it would be mediocre at best. No, it was hot, fresh, and the supreme was loaded with toppings. Since it was loaded with toppings, you'd expect it might be soggy or undercooked... nope. It was great. Service was friendly, if slightly annoyed, but certainly not rude. I can understand being busy and they hid the frustration well at least. The main reason I went here was because they serve Guernsey ice cream and it is wonderful. Some of the best butter pecan ice cream I've ever eaten so I was happy to see they serve it here. No indoor seating, only some outdoor tables, but not very many so plan accordingly. Prices were fair if not pricey. Overall it met / exceeded my expectations and that's always better than the alternative!

This is a local ice cream place. The girls working there were very friendly and timely in getting our orders taken and completed. Seating is outside under an awning on picnic tables. We ordered a dozen different kinds of ice creams and no complaints. My raspberry shake was scrummy. Although we did not sample the pizza it was reported they have very good pies and are available for carry. Definately stop in here for a tasty snacks. You won't be disappointed..

When we went, there was a really long wait for food. We were told 60 minutes for pizza or 30 minutes for other food. We got our food ( tenders, hotdog, pulled pork) after about 45 minutes. Wasn't anything to write home about but there were a lot of decent options. Ice cream was fantastic though. Guernsey flavors and they make fun things like beach pails and worms in dirt for the kids. Would do it again, but might order ahead on busier nights.

This pizza is phenomenal. The crust texture is the perfect ratio of crispy/fluffy, and delicious by itself. I ordered the BLT pizza + ham and the toppings were portioned perfectly (No droopy pizza here)! I will be making this my Go-To pizza place when I'm at Higgins Lake. I also ordered the dough bites. Mmm-mmm good. I'm in a food coma as we speak.

Love this place!! The burgers and fries are amazing and the ice cream menu is a little kids dream. My youngest order the ice cream nachos, ice cream with waffle cone chips chocolate sauce and I think he got to pick 2 types of toppings.
