Ice cream was good. Waitress was awesome. Older decor and serving ice cream in glass dishes is great. more

I guess you need to be from Scottsdale to get why this is such an institution in the area. The ice cream was good (I had the "Dusty Road"...and it was quite tasty), but the atmosphere is loud, the line is long, and while the place has some history, I've had better ice cream without the wait. more
